Dialogue
- (Start combat section)
- Komano Manato: Hold on... Why's she dreaming about the Outer Ring?
- Lucia: Never mind that. I think I just saw a red wild boar!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Don't say it like that... That's the leader of the Sons of Calydon, Big Daddy.
- (Enter combat)
- Big Daddy: We can't let them break in, no matter what. Watch the flanks! Get ready!
- Komano Manato: Looks like they're totally swarmed by Ethereals. Let's help em out.
- (When the Farbauti spawns)
- Komano Manato: After all this fighting, we still haven't taken down even one of them? But Big Daddy made it look so easy just now.
- Lucia: So is it because we're too weak?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (That can't be. Big Daddy's really strong, but surely we're not that much weaker...That can't be. Big Daddy's really strong, but surely we're not that much weaker... /
No way, right? Big Daddy's super strong, but we're not that weak...No way, right? Big Daddy's super strong, but we're not that weak...) - Lucia: Ah, I see now! It's because...
- Lucia: Big Daddy's a Thiren! Only Thirens can defeat Ethereals!
- Komano Manato: Wait, what? You can't just revoke my Thiren card because I got beat by these Ethereals!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Lucia, why don't you check what you have on your head and rethink that statement?
- Lucia: Oops... sorry, I forgot Manato and I are Thirens too.
- Lucia: Ugh! Even a genius Ethereal researcher like myself has no idea why!
- Komano Manato: Hold up... Look over there!
- (The Farbauti slams the ground and destroys a Tyrfing)
Ethereal Combat
Special Event
"Ethereal Combat"
Story Description: During dream combat, everyone discovers their strength couldn't harm the Ethereals at all, but Ethereals could hurt each other. So Lucia suggested trying to train Ethereals to defeat enemies.
- Komano Manato: The Ethereal we couldn't defeat, no matter how many times we tried, was easily taken down by one of its own kind...
I must be dreaming.- (ProtagonistProtagonist): An Ethereal... fighting another Ethereal? I must be dreaming.
- Lucia: We've been dreaming this whole time! Wait... "Ethereal fighting Ethereal"? "Dreaming"? I have an idea.
- Komano Manato: Huh? What idea?
- Lucia: It's known that both Big Daddy and Ethereals can defeat other Ethereals, but we cannot...
- Lucia: So, what is it that both Big Daddy and Ethereals have in common, that we don't?
- Oh! I got it!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): I got it!
- Komano Manato: Yeah, I know it too!
- They are both from the dreamworld!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): They're both (beingsbeings) from the dreamworld!
- Komano Manato: Big Daddy and the Ethereals are both stronger than us!
- Komano Manato: Uh... I meant they're both from the dreamworld, yeah...
- Lucia: I suspect that no external force can directly destroy this place. Only beings in the dreamworld can inflict harm on each other.
- Lucia: As Dr. Lydia said, we have to face the inner demons ourselves! The fears in Yidhari's dream can only be defeated by herself!
- Lucia: Maybe we can use this principle to try and tame Ethereals and train them to defeat other Ethereals...
- Komano Manato: Tame... Ethereals? One of my teachers used to say dream big, but this feels a little too big!
- How are we supposed to try taming them?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Sure, we can try, and maybe die trying in the process. But how are we going to tame them?
- Lucia: Let me give it a try first!
- Lucia: Oh, Chosen Ethereal, reveal your true power before me.
- Komano Manato: Sounds convincing, but will it really work?
- Lucia: By the pact you've made with me, Lucia, I command you... SIT!!
- Upon hearing Lucia's command, the Ethereal freezes in place and sits down obediently!
- Lucia: Good! That's it! Just like that!
- This is unbelievable!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Even if it's just a dream... This is still unbelievable!
- Lucia: Trust me! I know Ethereals! You should give it a try, too! Tell it to stand up!
- Komano Manato: This is so embarrassing. Do we really have to say lines like this...
- There's nothing else we can do... let's give it a try.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): There's nothing else we can do... let's give it a try.
- Oh, Chosen Ethereal...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (Ahem...Ahem...) Oh, Chosen Ethereal, please show me your true power!
- Komano Manato: Huh? Do we really have to say it like that? Oh, Chosen Ethereal, please show me your true power?
- By the pact...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): By the pact, I, (WiseWise /
BelleBelle), command you — stand up! - Komano Manato: Uh... By the pact, I, Komano Manato, command you — please stand up!
- The Ethereal sits still and doesn't react to the command. Instead, it turns its head toward Lucia.
- Komano Manato: See? Like I thought, it doesn't listen to me or the Proxy at all.
- But how come you can control it, Lucia?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): (I still don't understandI still don't understand /
I don't really get itI don't really get it), Lucia... Why would the Ethereal in Yidhari's dream listen to you? - Lucia: I don't know either... Wait, could it be that she read the Ethereal Fantasy I wrote? Maybe it left an impression that made her think I could actually tame them?
- Komano Manato: Seems to be the only explanation...
- So that's your writing style?
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): So that's the kind of fantasy you're writing...
- Lucia: Ha... haha, no way... Uh... Well... Since we've tamed the Ethereal, let's have it help us defeat the enemies in the dream!
