Dialogue

(Upon starting the commission)
Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle): That person just now looked super (‍suspicious.suspicious. / suspicious!suspicious!‍)
Lycaon: It's most likely the thief.
Lycaon: We should go after them.
(Encounter the first wave of enemies)
Fairy: Warning. Ethereal energy detected ahead.
Lycaon: The smell of Ethereals... How disgusting.
Lycaon: You needn't worry. Leave the cleaning to me.
(Head to the next area)
Fairy: Warning. Strong Ethereal energy detected up ahead.
Lycaon: That thief was able to get through despite being so small and weak...
Lycaon: We should be more vigilant.
(Get past the mines)
Lycaon: We should turn right, but there are some supplies up ahead...
Lycaon: I'll go by your decision, Master Proxy.
(Encounter the third wave of enemies)
Lycaon: The path ahead seems to be blocked by Ethereals.
Lycaon: Don't worry, I'll clear the way for you.
(Encounter the fourth wave of enemies)
Lycaon: We're surrounded by Ethereals... Though it matters not.
Lycaon: Please allow me a little time to deal with them.
(Encounter the Farbauti)
Bangboo (Wise / Belle)Bangboo (Wise / Belle): Looks like that thief's trapped by some Ethereals.
Lycaon: Things don't look too good.
Lycaon: Let's deal with the surrounding Ethereals first.
(Talk to Lilac)

Chosen of the World's End

The following is recorded in the Video Archive
Story "Chosen of the World's End"

Video Summary: Have you ever imagined yourself as a "unique individual"?
Story Description: To Lycaon's surprise, the thief turned out to be his employer's daughter, but she adamantly refused to acknowledge her true identity, so you decided to guide her out of the Hollow first.


(SiblingSibling): (‍Huh, the thief is just a kid?Huh, the thief is just a kid? / So... this is the thief...?So... this is the thief...?‍)
Lycaon: ...
???: ...
Icon Dialogue Talk What’s wrong, Lycaon?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍What’s wrong? Your expression is a little... odd.What’s wrong? Your expression is a little... odd. / You’re making a weird face. What’s wrong?You’re making a weird face. What’s wrong?‍)
Lycaon: No, it’s nothing. This is just a bit... shocking.
(SiblingSibling): Shocking? How so?
Lycaon: Please, do not worry. It’s nothing major, it’s just that...
Lycaon: Well, this lady thief is my current employer.
Lycaon: Not long ago, I was contracted by her family and temporarily took over their previous attendant’s duties.
(SiblingSibling): (‍Huh? So she’s stealing from her own house?Huh? So she’s stealing from her own house? / Wait, so that means she’s stealing something her family already owns?Wait, so that means she’s stealing something her family already owns?‍)
Fairy: Master, I have found a proverb that fits the current situation: she is going against her family like machine oil that decided to flood the workshop. Ha ha ha ha.
(SiblingSibling): Fairy, (‍now’s notnow’s not / this isn’tthis isn’t‍) the time for bad (‍jokes!jokes! / jokes.jokes.‍)
Lycaon: Miss Lilac, could you explain why you are here?
Lilac: I know not of this Lilac you speaketh of. Thou dost not know my name. But, very well...
Lilac: Allow me to enlighten thee. Mortals, hear me!
Lilac: Mine name is... Lampelouch Aznabelle Fantomhaen Lilac. But thou may also call me the Chosen of the World’s End, the Companion of Justice.
Icon Dialogue Talk Isn’t that still just Lilac?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍Isn’t that still Lilac, then?!Isn’t that still Lilac, then?! / Er, I think I still heard the name Lilac in there...Er, I think I still heard the name Lilac in there...‍)
Lilac: Incorrect. That’s Lampelouch Aznabelle Fantomhaen Lilac to you. Not Lilac.
Icon Dialogue Talk I feel like this name is one really big, really messy mashup...
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍I feel likeI feel like / Yeah... I feel likeYeah... I feel like‍) you just mashed up a bunch of random names...
Lilac: You need only praise my name.
Lycaon: Grandiose yet lengthy and jumbled terminology, speech filled with emotion but lacking any efficiency in communication...
Lycaon: I see. I suppose this is a textbook example of the edgy speech pattern.
Lycaon: However, from my perspective, it appears you have no issues communicating with her... Could this be the popular subculture amongst the youth today?
Icon Dialogue Talk It’s really not.
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍It’s really not... Basically, nobody speaks like this nowadays. If I had to guess, it was in style maybe three trends ago.It’s really not... Basically, nobody speaks like this nowadays. If I had to guess, it was in style maybe three trends ago. / It’s really not... Not many people talk like this nowadays. If I had to say, it was popular maybe three trends ago.It’s really not... Not many people talk like this nowadays. If I had to say, it was popular maybe three trends ago.‍)
Icon Dialogue Talk I guess so...?
(ProtagonistProtagonist): (‍I suppose you could say that eight trends ago...I suppose you could say that eight trends ago... / Uh... I guess? If you went back like eight trends ago...Uh... I guess? If you went back like eight trends ago...‍)
Lycaon: If I might be blunt, your explanation is also quite confusing.
Lycaon: However, we shouldn’t linger here. I recommended we escort her out of the Hollow.
