Where am I?

I am the Spirit Tortoise's familiar.

I have remained true to my purpose and taken a great number of souls.

It was to defend this world from the threat of the Waves.

I kept telling myself that.

But…

I have no need for emotions.

Why did I keep telling myself that?

Why does it hurt me so when I see their smiles?

Why does a mere familiar possess these emotions?

Who are you?

Who?

Who are you?

Wait! You guys are…

I guess you figured us out!

Long time no see, kiddo!

We even put on a disguise…

You didn't actually care to hide yourself, did you, L'Arc?

L'Arc! Therese!

And Glass!

What are you guys doing here?

They are here to kill the Four Cardinal Heroes.

They say they are Heroes from another world.

For the sake of our world,

please die.

But they went back to their world during the Wave on Cal Mira Island.

Hey, no need to get all fussy. We're not here to fight you this time.

What? What does that mean?

The Spirit Tortoise, right?

Someone unsealed it, and now they're controlling it.

We're here to beat them.

You'll defeat whoever is controlling the Spirit Tortoise?

Why do you guys have to get involved in this?

That person must have come from an otherworld like them.

Is that right?

Yes.

He controls the guardian beasts of otherworlds

and wields their power as his own.

This deviates from the law of the world.

Law of the world, huh?

I know.

We're trying to kill the Four Cardinal Heroes

for our world's sake.

But he's different.

He's doing whatever he wants in this world for his own personal gain.

And the result of his actions has brought suffering and destruction to our world.

That is why we must stop him at any cost.

That is what our Vassal Weapons whisper to us.

You're going after him too, right, kiddo?

How about this?

Why don't we have a truce and join hands for a while?

What?

L'Arc, that is--

I refuse.

Who would join hands with someone

they would have to fight to the death someday?

But if you're not against us right now, then I don't care what you do.

Do what you want.

Well, yes.

Then like you say, we'll do what we want.

See you, kiddo.

Master Naofumi…

This is fine.

What kind of insanity is this?

So many lives were sacrificed…

Based on its regeneration rate,

it appears that we do not have much time before it resumes its march.

What is the Shield Hero doing?

The Hero's party has entered the Spirit Tortoise's body.

They will burrow deep into it,

destroy its heart, and stop it once and for all.

-Oh, gosh! -Oh, gosh!

However, we must hold the Spirit Tortoise here until the deed is done.

I, Mirellia Q Melromarc, Queen of Melromarc,

fully intend to lead the soldiers from the head of the charge.

Your Majesty…

We shall join you there.

Then let us take arms.

The person controlling the Spirit Tortoise is from the same world as L'Arc…

We don't know that for sure.

But…

More importantly…

What?

You saw how Glass was dressed? What was up with that?

Who knows?

Ost.

This way.

She knows her way now?

It must mean we are that close to the heart.

Where did the scythe guy go?

L'Arc, is this really the right way?

Yes! Just look at all the familiars!

They're proof that he's close!

That is not sound reasoning!

Is this a Dragon Hourglass?

It's blue!

All of the sand has fallen.

Is it unrelated to the Waves?

This icon…

What does it mean?

It represents the number of souls that the Spirit Tortoise has taken.

When filled,

it is supposed to create a barrier to defend the world from the Waves.

So this isn't the heart?

Correct.

It is a tool to see how many people's souls

have been transformed into the Spirit Tortoise's power.

Now I know with certainty.

Let's move!

So this is the turtle monster's heart?

Let us destroy it.

But what will happen to the guardian beast when we do?

We have no other choice.

Releasing it from his control even a second sooner

is the only mercy we can give it.

I understand.

Gosh. This place is gross.

What is this stuff?

Are you all right?

I don't know anymore.

What?

My original purpose was to take human souls

and turn them into the Spirit Tortoise's energy.

That would save the world.

However…

What world would there be to protect

after taking the smiles of those whom I fought alongside?

Aren't the smiles of those people whose souls would be taken

what we truly should protect?

Please don't shoulder the burden yourself!

Why don't we all think about what we should do?

After all, we're all friends now.

Friends?

That's right.

Naofumi must think of you as one by now!

He would probably be angry with me for saying that.

Don't worry. I can vouch for Master Naofumi.

And…

Me too!

We think of you as one too.

Everyone…

You may be a familiar, but you're also thinking about those people.

The Spirit Tortoise must think so too.

That's why we need to find a way to resolve this without defeating it--

Hey! I can see an exit!

Is this its mouth?

Is it going to throw us up?

I don't think its head is back yet.

What should we do? Turn back?

No.

This path leads to the heart.

Let's go.

This is the Spirit Tortoise's heart?

I never thought you would make it all the way here!

Well, it's not unexpected, but you did a good job.

Maybe I should introduce myself.

My name is Kyo Ethnina.

I possess the Book of the Vassal Weapons.

Book?

Vassal Weapon?

You can't even give me a decent greeting?

Jeez.

It's not his real body?

Are you the Shield Hero?

Dragging all those women with you…

What? Are you building a harem or something?

If you want to provoke me, do it after you come out of hiding.

What?

Yes, that's how you made a name for yourself in this world, Shield Hero.

You've got some provocation resistance.

Unlike those three idiot Heroes!

Provocation resistance?

What do you know about the other three Heroes?

What? Do you think I would tell you if I did?

Don't ask me about everything. Look things up yourself, stupid.

Oh, but I'll tell you about them!

They kept droning on and on about defeating me.

Those hot-blooded idiots who even followed from the otherworld!

You mean L'Arc and the others?

That's right!

I'll bet they must be trying their damndest

to destroy the Spirit Tortoise's heart.

Except they're fakes that just keep multiplying every time!

Damn! How many hearts does this thing have?

No, L'Arc! These are…

It seems that man fooled us.

What?

Aren't they so freaking stupid?

For some reason, talking to you makes me remember my home world.

Oh, really?

It's not like I care.

Just tell me what you want, will you?

I'm a busy man.

It seems I don't need to ask if you're the mastermind.

I'll cut to the chase.

Stop controlling the Spirit Tortoise and return all the souls you took.

What? Is that an order? Or a request?

Either way, I won't just listen to you and say, "Sure thing," retard.

I don't give a damn what you're trying to do.

Just do it in your own world.

What? Are you stupid?

That's a giant freaking pain!

That's why I'm doing it in this shitty otherworld!

I don't like him.

I agree with you, Filo. I don't either.

If we simply overlook your reasoning,

then the people of this world have the right to go against you.

Man, you're really annoying too.

What? Oh, I see.

The fate of this world is to be decided by the Four Cardinal Heroes,

who have been summoned to this world.

That is why I ask that you return

the Spirit Tortoise and the people's souls.

This is my own will, as well as the Spirit Tortoise's.

Oh, really? I see.

Yes, I get it.

You were the easiest to understand.

Well, I see. If that's the case, then do your best.

Oh, no!

Shooting Star Shield!

What the heck was that?

The heart's self-defense mechanism has been activated.

Shooting Star Shield!

Spiral Strike!

Ost!

Don't mind me! Don't stop attacking it!

Raphtalia!

Ost!

Ost!

This is…

I see now.

Ost!

Ost! Say something!

No…

Ost…

We couldn't even say goodbye.

Ost!

I'm all right, Rishia.

Don't worry, Raphtalia.

Though, it would have been better if I wasn't all right.

Ost, if you're alive…

Yes.

After cutting off its head and destroying its heart,

the Spirit Tortoise is still not defeated.

But…

It's pretty.

I remember everything now.

About the Spirit Tortoise…

and myself.

I, Ost Horai, command heaven to break law and recombine,

spitting up rot!

I open the path to the depths of myself!

Ost…

That incantation…

Hurry.

The Spirit Tortoise will soon revive.

What's going on?

This is…

What? The Spirit Tortoise…

Man, what a pain. You really made it here.

Well, anyway, welcome to the depths of the Spirit Tortoise!

But, man, you really tried so hard to make it here.

I'm seriously shocked, no joke.

I mean, I was kind of freaked out earlier.

What are you talking about?

You still don't get it, stupid?

Oh, looks like the Shield Hero and the green-haired girl got it.

What is it, Master?

Come on, anyone would get it by now!

If you're that retarded, you couldn't have done anything even if you did get it.

It couldn't be…

That's right.

If you had just killed her, you wouldn't have needed to come all the way here

or lose any of those useless little soldiers!

She isn't the Spirit Tortoise's familiar.

She's connected to the Spirit Tortoise's core!

In other words, she is the Spirit Tortoise!
