- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Great! It's just up ahead!
- Fairy: Data pile 1 initializing...
- Fairy: Activation complete.
- Fairy: Next installation location has been marked.
- Lucy: Cool. Grab that data pile and let's move!
- Lighter: Right away, your Highness.
- Fairy: Data pile 2 initializing...
- Fairy: Activation complete.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): We just need to install one more and it's done.
- Fairy: The perfect installation location has been selected for you.

- Fairy: Data pile 3 initializing...
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Watch out! More Ethereals incoming!
- Fairy: Activation complete.
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Nice. Let's go to the next.
- Fairy: Warning: Biosignals detected near data pile 2!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Let's go, (BelleBelle /
WiseWise)!
- (Interact with Messy Markings)
- Messy Trails: The data pile we set up here is gone...
- Messy Trails: There was a biosignal here not long ago, and the signs on the ground show that the data pile was ripped out by force... Looks like someone stole it.
- Messy Trails: They couldn't have gone too far with that data pile, so let's look around for some clues.
- (Interact with Roadside Debris on the entry point)
- Clutter on Roadside: This is where we came from... The clutter on the ground hasn't changed. The culprit couldn't have slipped through here.
- (Interact with Roadside Debris)
- Clutter on Roadside: There was a barricade here before... Looks like someone bulldozed right through it. Must be the data pile thieves!
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): Is this... a hidden fissure?
- (After interacting with Fissure)
- Fairy: Biosignals detected nearby.
- ???: Hurry up!
- Lucy: There they are!
- ???: Huh, L-Lighter?
- Caesar: Lighter, do you know those people?
- Lighter: Don't think so. But judging by their getups, they're in a biker gang too.
- (Enter combat with Bellum (Enemy))
- (ProtagonistProtagonist): But all that stuff about you losing before... (Is that all true?Is that all true? /
Is that true?Is that true?) - Lighter: Haha, of course it's true
- Lighter: I mean, winning isn't everything in that kind of place
- Bellum: Hey, Lighter — you'd better take this seriously!
- Bellum: Don't try to find excuses when you lose!
- Bellum: Aaaaah — Lighter! Take this!
- Lighter: Man, stop yelling my name like that!
- (After defeating Bellum (Enemy))
