Old Diary Acquired from Area 1: 2nd District Congregation Score Rewards

A diary filled with someone's precious memories.

The shining moments are still alive here.

Summary[]

Archive opens with Clara's monologue, where she talks about how the adventures of Kaden's party came to an end, how Queen Lili created new "After Hero" calendar system and hosted a festival that lasted entire week. One the last day only Clara and Kaden remained. Then they proceed to talk about where their comrades went:

Luiz and Kamael went to found a company that will use drones to deliver goods
Bibi promised to found a famous circus agency
Ringo was busy writing a song based on their adventures
Lilith and Erina planned to unite the Demon World which was in the state of chaos
Luna was going to establish Magic School

They were going to meet in a decade on the founding festival. After discussing the goals of their friends, they start to discuss their own plans for the future. Kaden states that he is planning to find a sword from the prophecy he heard. His goal was to pass it down to the next generations. He then offers Clara to go on this journey together with him, but Clara declines his offer on the next day. She argues that because their party burnt the World Tree, connection between gods and humans had been cut off, meaning that holy power that was used to heal minor wounds and illnesses disappeared. As the last holder of holy power, it has since became her duty to take care of those who suffer because of that. This time Kaden, who couldn't accept the fact that he would part ways with Clara, offers to take him with her. But Clara reminds him of his main goal, and refuses once again. Kaden understands, and gives her the brooch that's shaped like feather, explaining that this is location emitter which activates via holy power. With the help of this object, Kaden could find Clara whenever she was, once she decided to activated it. Clara concluded that it would be better to not use it at all, so that it doesn't distract Kaden. They looked at each other one last time, anticipating their meeting in ten years, before going in opposite directions.

Scene I

Clara
The long adventure came to an end… and we finally saved the world.
[expedition_bg_castle_balcony]
Clara
Princess Lili… No Queen Lili said Kanterbury was reborn and held a grand festival. She even created a new calendar system using A.H to mark the years.
Clara
After Hero… When Queen Lili announced a festival will be held in our honor and celebrate January 1st, 0 A.H in front of all her subjects… My face turned so red. I couldn't look up…
Clara
The founding festival continued for a whole week, It was so fun… I wished this moment would last forever. But, as the festival came to an end, everyone left to chase their own goals…
Clara
Only Kaden and I remained on the last day.
[Kaden appears]
Kaden
Everyone was still here yesterday… but it's just us two now.
[Clara appears]
Clara
They had so much they wanted to do after our adventure came to an end…
Clara
Luiz is off with Kamael to found the world's first drone delivery company… Bibi said she'd found the world's best circus agency.
Kaden
Ringo said he'd write our entire adventure into a song, and Lilith… will go unite Demon World to become a true Queen…
Clara (jump)
Isn't Demon World in complete mayhem after the Demon Gods were sealed off? I'm a bit concerned for… Lilith's safety…
Kaden
Erina is with her, so she should be fine. If she who stirred up Demon World before is with Lilith…
Clara
...
Clara (shake)
…I was concerned for the wrong person… I should pray for the citizens of Demon World instead.
Kaden
We promised to meet on the founding festival a decade from now… I'm sure everyone will keep busy until then.
Clara
……Seems that way. We'll meet again after a decade…
Clara (jump)
I heard Luna's going to establish a Magic School. She met someone who gets along with her during the festival. Her name was…
Kaden (jump)
You mean Elphaba. I've never seen anyone hold up a conversation with Luna for that long. She's highly knowledgeable… and very beautiful as well.
Clara
Fufu, are you interested in Elphaba too Kaden?
Kaden (jump)
N-No! I'm just…!
Clara
?
Kaden
...
Kaden (shake)
It's nothing…
Kaden (jump)
Anyways, do you have any future plans Clara?
Clara
Hmm… I don't know… You said you're going to search for a sword, right Kaden?
Kaden (nod)
Yes, according to the gods, a great evil will befall on us centuries from now. Only that sword can take down the evil's alpha. It's centuries from now, so it'll be the next generation's hero's task, but…
Kaden
That doesn't mean I can stay idle. My remaining duty as the hero is to find the missing sword and safely pass it down to the next generation.
Clara (nod)
I'm sure you'll do fine, Kaden. No matter how dangerous or frightening it got during our adventure, you were always unshaken… and led us through.
Kaden
I wouldn't have achieved anything alone… Everyone else gives praise, calling me a hero, but it was only possible because everyone was with me.
Kaden
Clara… If you don't have any other plans…
Kaden
Would you like to search for the sword with me?
Clara
...
Clara
A confident but slightly shaking voice. His stiff posture from attempting to hide anxiety. The glint in his eyes full of purity.
Clara
That sight of him giving me butterflies in my stomach every now and then… That's the Kaden I knew.
Clara
I……

Scene II

[expedition_bg_castle_gate]
Kaden
So, this is goodbye.
Clara
…Thank you for asking me to come with yesterday. But… I have something I must do as well.
Kaden
!
Clara
It was to save the world from ruin… But, we burned the World Tree and severed the connection between Gods and Men. Most people can no longer use holy power.
Clara (shake)
Which means… everything we did with holy powers are no longer possible… From healing minor wounds to saving lives. Many will suffer. I want to help them.
Kaden
!
Kaden (jump)
It's not for you to bear that responsibility alone! Everyone else already left, but… I could go with you Clara…!
Clara
Kaden, you told me what you wished to do for the future generation. If you had to give up your own goal because of me… I'd be heartbroken…
Kaden
……
Kaden
Clara, could you please accept this before I go…?
[shows expedition_item_brooch]
Clara
What's this…?
Kaden
It's a location emitter that activates via holy power. Send the signal whenever you need me. I'll run to your aid immediately, no matter how far.
Clara
Use this whenever I need you, Kaden…?
Kaden
!
Kaden (jump)
I…I don't mean anything else by it…!
Kaden (shake)
If you have trouble solving a problem Clara… Or if you need someone to talk to about your troubles… Anything's fine… If it's something I can aid you with, call me whenever. That's what I meant…!
Clara
Clara (nod)
……Hehe. Thank you Kaden.
Kaden
...
Kaden (nod)
I'll… take my leave. May Prometheia bless your path Clara…
Clara
May Prometheia grace your journey as well… Kaden…
[background blacks out]
Clara
I left Kaden behind, and started walking to places requiring my aid.
Clara
It'd be fun… if Kaden came with but he has duties as the Hero, unlike me… So it'd be best to leave without having any attachments.
Clara
But, perhaps it was the thought of having to wait another decade to see Kaden again. Or maybe I wanted to behold the image of him walking away… I turned around without realizing it.
Clara
I locked eyes with Kaden who stopped in his tracks and looked back like I did.
Clara
His stiff posture trying to hide anxiety… and eyes glinting with purity. That was the Kaden I knew. So I decided to be a bit more honest.
[expedition_bg_event_clara_smile_set_01]
[expedition_bg_event_clara_smile_set_02]
[expedition_bg_event_clara_smile_set_01]
Clara
A decade from now, just like we promised with everyone, even if it isn't then…
[expedition_bg_event_clara_smile_set_02]
Clara
I'll wait for the day we meet again Kaden. Anytime anywhere.

Old Music Sheet — One of the thousands spread across the world. – "It sings about the Hero's adventure".

An old and discolored Sheet Music.

It sings of a dark and sad song in a mournful tone.

Bard Ringo, known as a member of the Hero Party that saved the world, turned his entire adventure into songs.

The special fact he was a member of the Hero Party, and the songs' high artistic quality fetches the Sheet Music a high price among collectors. It's famously known that the current Emperor of Rah likes Ringo's song. The Emperor's mad collecting desires for the original Sheet Music made the prices jump even further.

Scene I

Clara
Holy power. The miracle from the gods given to humans. It's the power of blessing that heals wounds and brings richness to life.
Clara
None had to fear diseases or wounds until now. For the holy power always healed and protected them. However, the World Tree connecting the gods and humans burned down, and it was now gone…
Clara
People fell from the simplest wounds that were easily treated before. The world fell into further pain and chaos.
[expedition_bg_small_village]
Clara
The entire kingdom filled with patients, and there weren't enough healers and medicine to go round. It was especially depressing for the smaller villages far away from the capital. So I concentrated on healing those residing in the outskirts after parting ways with Kaden.
[Clara appears]
Clara
I finished first aid for the urgent patients. They made it past the brink, but… They're quite weak, so everyone must rest until fully recovered.
[Village Chief appears]
Village Chief
Everyone had to just wait for their death because of that terrible disease… How could we repay this debt…
[Village Lady appears]
Village Lady (jump)
My brother came back to his senses because of you Saintess. Thank you so much!
Clara
No… I just made temporary fixes for the patients… They will need continuous treatment to fully recover.
Clara
I'll prescribe the necessary medicine, so ask the other healer when I leave…
Village Chief
!
Village Lady
!
Village Chief
Leaving… What do you mean…? There's no healer in a small town like ours…!
Village Chief
Everyone who heals diseases left for the big city… There are no healers or medicine here… Saintess, you're the only one we can place our faith in.
Village Lady (shake)
You said they're not fully healed…they need continuous treatment… That's what you said. But you're just going to leave us…?
Clara
…Sorry. I can't stay in this village indefinitely.
Clara
When I spoke about leaving, the villagers' gazes changed. They turned from gratitude to shock, and then rage… The villagers started to gather round and began to murmur.
Village Chief (shake)
When you first arrived, you said this was your responsibility and would help us, didn't you…? Saintess, you said you could use the holy power… You told us you'll save us…!
Clara
…… There must be critical patients at other villages too. I must help them as well…
Village Lady
…Lies.
Village Lady (shake)
The other healers… priests… they all left like that. They said their holy powers suddenly vanished, and told us to find someone else…!
Village Chief
So you were just the same as everyone else… I'll help… I'll take responsibility… You're just a foolish woman who wants to be treated as a Saintess…
Clara
!
[background blacks out]
Clara
I thought my ears deceived me for a second.
Clara
The people we saved, those who just expressed gratitude… They all changed in an instant and expressed their criticisms and resentment.
Clara
I did my best to help everyone. I didn't give up and tried. So I won't feel any shame when I meet Kaden again… That's what I thought, but reality was much crueler.
Clara
I couldn't speak from the sharp criticisms like knives. Where did it all go wrong… Was this my fault…? I just…
[background lights up]
Village Chief
The reason you could use holy power was…
[background shakes]
[Ringo appears]
?Ringo
Oh dear, I'm way too late, aren't I? Queen Lili gave me so much… My luggage was so heavy, so I ended up being late!
Clara
?
Clara (jump)
R-Ringo?!
Ringo (jump)
Attention everyone. The luggage I worked hard to bring from the capital was… High quality herbal medicine and healing potions!
[shows item_herbal_bag]
Ringo
Man, there's a bunch, right? Isn't it crazy? You're all wondering how much this is all worth, yes? Don't fall over in shock! All of this is free! Free, I tell you!
Village Chief (!)
Herbal medicine and healing potions from the capital…?
Ringo
Ringo (jump)
So? Doesn't it make you dance and sing? Take'em, hurry! It's all yours!
[Village Chief leaves]
Ringo
...
Clara
The bag Ringo brought was full of herbal medicine and healing potions. The villagers all clamored forth and started to grab the medicine. While everyone was distracted by the herbal medicine, Ringo and I quietly left the village.
[Ringo leaves]

Scene II

[expedition_bg_forest_day]
Ringo (shake)
Wow, that was really close! If I make that into a song and sing it for the children… They probably won't sleep for days!
Clara
Thank you for coming to my rescue, you saved me. …… But Ringo, how did you…?
Ringo (jump)
Oh, I was on my way to see Isabella! Kaden was really worried about you.
Ringo
I heard about what you were doing Clara, and the capital was nearby. So I figured it'd be nice to bring some medicine along the way… What do you know? Turns out my decision was the right answer!
Clara
I see, Kaden is……
Ringo (jump)
Hehe, are you touched? Does it make you tear up? There's no need to thank me too much, you know!
Ringo
We're comrades who saved the world from ruin after all, aren't we?
Ringo
Clara
…… Thank you. Truly… Thank you so much.
Ringo
Don't worry too much about what the villagers said. The holy power is gone, and the world is in chaos, so they just need someone to blame.
Ringo
You're not a bad person Clara.
Clara
…Ringo…
Ringo (shake)
Hmm… a serious conversation like this is hard. I tried to come up and say something Kaden would've said at a time like this. But I suppose it doesn't suit me.
Ringo
Kaden's the professional in cheering you up and giving encouragement.
Clara (shake)
R…Ringo…!
Ringo
What? Are you disappointed I'm here instead of Kaden? Man, you're hurting my feelings. Oh dear, here come the waterworks…!
Clara
Hehe, you're the same as ever, Ringo.
Clara
Yeah, I'm sure the chaos will be temporary. If I don't give up, I think the people…will understand.
Ringo (jump)
Sincerity goes through to everyone in any age!
Clara
Ringo

Scene III

[expedition_bg_forest_night]
Ringo (jump)
Like that one time. Bang! Isabella pinned me up against the wall. It was so cool, my heart felt a jolt! I fell for her again that day!
Clara (shake)
Hehe…! Hahahaha!
Clara
As we talked about the times we adventured together, I didn't notice the night grew deeper. All the memories of us came flooding back as if it all happened yesterday. Thanks to that, my negative emotions started to wash away one by one.
Clara
Hehe, my mind is at ease now. I wish I could live my life carefree and optimistic like you Ringo…
Ringo (jump)
Hey! I have worries too you know! I have so many they're giving me a headache…!
Clara
Oh, really? You have concerns too, Ringo?
Ringo (jump)
Of course! Like, how could I make my blood tastier… I spend every night with my eyes wide open!
Clara
W-What are you talking about…?
Ringo
As you know Clara, Isabella is the Vampire Queen, yes?
Ringo
She only sought after my blood during our adventure, saying it's the tastiest… But now, she can get tasty blood as much as she wants.
Ringo (jump)
Thus, Isabella might fall for another type of blood, and say Ringo, who? Ahhhhhhhh!! She'll forget about me if I don't become the tastiest blood in the world!!
Clara
There's no way Isabella's gonna do that…!
Clara
Whew… Ringo you should……
Ringo
!
[background shakes]
Ringo
Watch out!
[Clara and Ringo leave]
[arrow strikes]
Clara
The instant Ringo shoved me aside with a shout, An arrow flew over and landed on the place I was just sitting. When I raised my head, an unknown group had surrounded us.
[Ringo appears]
Ringo
What's the meaning of this?! Firing an arrow at us all of a sudden…
[Clara appears]
Clara (jump)
Who are you? Identify yourselves!
?Village Chief
Tsk, there's no need to answer. Kill them both.
?Village Lady
The holy power disappeared because of that witch…! Killing her will bring it back!
Ringo
Everyone's armed with weapons… I don't think we can talk this out. Clara, I'm gonna take them all down!
Clara
Okay. I'll help too…!
[Clara and Ringo leave]
[clara_despair_a_bg]
[clara_despair_a_lingo_01]
Ringo
Huff…Puff… I maybe a bard… But I was a part of the Hero party… Huff… I won't go down that easily.
Clara
Aren't you too out of breath to be saying that…?
Ringo
What? O-Of course not. I'm completely fine! Hmm… Let's find out who attacked us…!
[clara_despair_a_lingo_02]
Ringo
………
Ringo
Clara… Maybe you shouldn't look…
Clara
What…? What are you talking about?

[clara_despair_b_lamp]

……… Wait, this is…?!
Clara
The village chief…?
[clara_despair_a_bg]
Clara
The others… I healed them all too… Why… how could they do this to me…
[background blacks out]
Ringo
Let's just… forget about what happened today…
Ringo
Clara? Clara…!
Clara
After the holy power disappeared from the world, and everything fell to chaos, a rumor started to circulate.
[Clara appears]
Clara
There's a party of Heroes using holy power. The holy power disappeared because the hero party took it for themselves… I must be killed in order to restore the holy power and return to the old ways of life…
Clara
People cursed me, and many organizations called for a witch hunt. I was no longer the Saintess, who saved the world.
[idle_emo_idle]
Clara
Instead, I was a witch… Who stole holy power from the world.

Scene I

Clara
The course of action we chose to protect the world became the root of another trial.
Clara
I thought the holy power vested in me was a reflection of Prometheia's wishes to save more people from that trial.
Clara
But if such thoughts were to hurt anyone…
[expedition_bg_presence_chamber]
[Lili appears]
Lili
It's a relief you made it back safely, Clara. And thank you, Ringo.
[Clara appears]
Clara
...
[Ringo appears]
Ringo (jump)
Really, it was only for a few days but it genuinely felt like I was Clara's escort! I may not have been as reliable as Kaden, But all things considered, wasn't it a comfortable journey, Clara?
Ringo
Laketown Anthello, especially. The super kind innkeeper! Sumptuous dinners! And spectacular scenery! It was truly a healing experience I tell you.
Clara
...
Lili
Clara, don't be so heartbroken. The chaos followed by the loss of holy power is something we already expected…
Lili
The kingdom is doing its best to expand medical facilities and distribute medicine. Once all aspects that formerly relied on holy power are replaced, the chaos will subside and the lives of the people will stabilize.
Ringo
Yeah, Clara! After all, we took care of all the threats from Demon World and Heaven, right? The world can only go up from here!
Clara
Then… what's something I can do…?
Lili
...
Clara
Prometheia endowed me with holy power. The power to save people. Surely… there has to be something I must do.
Lili
Have patience, Clara. Moving a society takes careful planning and time. It's not like the journeys of heroes, where the enemy to defeat is clear.
Lili
The distress from the loss of holy power is at its peak. For you to do anything with holy power right now would be dangerous. It could even cause more chaos… I'm sure you're aware of that.
Clara
But…
Lili
For the time being, stay at the castle and accept protection. I'll try my best to see if there's anything you can do to help.
Clara
… Alright. I'll do that.
Ringo (jump)
Then I'll also stay in the capital for a while and help! I shall do street performances every day so that more people know about the good faith of the heroes!
Ringo
Ahem, Ah, Ah. No sweat, right? Or maybe… since my voice is my fortune… every other day will suffice?
Lili
Fufu… Thank you, Ringo.
Lili
...
[background blacks out]
Clara
Even without holy power, there were many ways to help people.
[in_the_dark_clara]
Clara
Visiting disaster recovery sites with the Queen, lending a hand to those who have been marginalized, distributing supplies…
Clara
Though I kept myself busy, my thoughts grew more and more complicated nonetheless.
Clara
Is this really all I can do? Wouldn't using holy power save more lives? Could I be running away from the trial Prometheia gave me?
Clara
But I was afraid.
[in_the_dark_clara_eye_01]
[in_the_dark_clara_eye_02]
[in_the_dark_clara_eye_03]
Clara
Even as I was helping people, they continued to frighten me.
Clara
Those eyes that hungered for holy power.
Clara
Eyes that resented the scorched World Tree.
Clara
Eyes that searched for a target to unleash their fury.

Scene II

[Lili appears]
Lili
This way, Clara. Watch your step.
[expedition_bg_somewhere_underground]
[Clara appears]
Clara
This place…
Lili
Clara, there's something I want to request, something only you can do.
Clara
The room was chilly. Queen Lili took my hand as I stood frozen, and led me towards the ominous-looking devices.
[hibernation_clara_fairy]
Clara
Are… they asleep?
Lili
That's right.
Lili
Although the war in Heaven has ended, we've been warned of the final war that is to come in the distant future. This facility… was built for that fate.
Lili
On behalf of the heroes who are hibernating for our future, may I ask for Prometheia's grace? So they may rest more comfortably…
Clara
O… Of course!
[walks to the capsule]
[background whites out]
Clara
It was only at such place where no one watched that I was able to unleash my holy powers without restraint and bestow Prometheia's grace to those asleep. So that they may dream a better dream and sleep more peacefully…
Clara
Yes… The power Prometheia endowed me with… truly is warm… It could protect and heal everyone…
[background backs to normal]
Lili
Though this facility was built with all our best technology… I guess I still can't help but rely on the grace of the gods. Thank you, Clara.
Clara
These people… why are they asleep?
Lili
As you can see, they aren't ordinary human beings. If they were to live in our human society now… they would likely face many hardships.
Lili
They chose their own future. Another time to fight… one where they will be needed…
Clara
...
Knight
Excuse me, your highness!
Lili
?
[Knight appears]
Knight
I beg your pardon, but I carry urgent news! Sir Ringo was attacked by an unidentified mob while performing at the Central Plaza!
Clara
!
Lili
!
Knight
We subdued the mob, but Sir Ringo has been severely injured…
[Clara leaves]
Lili
Clara, calm down!
[background blacks out]
[ringo_healing]
Clara
I pushed through the buzzing crowd. The knights stood guard, but I couldn't see them. All I could see was the fresh blood spattered around Ringo, clear as day.
Clara
I could hear the Queen's urgent voice coming from somewhere. Ringo looked in my direction and smiled weakly. It was as if both of them were saying no.
[background whites out]
[ringo_healing_clara]
Clara
But with Ringo's life fading before me, there was no hesitation. I unleashed holy power in front of countless people.
Clara
Has the world become a place where this is no longer allowed? Saving someone, is it now something forbidden?
[ringo_healing_eye_01]
[ringo_healing_eye_02]
[ringo_healing_eye_03]
crowd
Holy power… It's holy power…
crowd
No way… Healing a wound like that instantly…?!

With that amount of holy power, my kid could have lived…

That's right… That witch is hogging all the holy power!
[background reds out]
There's a witch… in Kanterbury Kingdom!!!!!

Scene III

[expedition_bg_presence_chamber]
Knight
There have been 3 riots by an unidentified cult, and warnings from neighboring countries continue to arrive. Patients from villages around the capital are also swarming in… I'm afraid the situation is now impossible to manage with our current forces.
Lili
...
Knight
A decision must be made… If you wish to protect the Saintess, an official statement will be necessary.
Lili
I understand. Leave us.
Knight
...
[Knight leaves]
Clara
Should I… just disappear?
Lili
...
Ringo
Don't say that, Clara!
Lili
Be strong, Clara. You are the last link between humanity and Prometheia… Come what may, you must not abandon that responsibility.
Clara
Let me… fall asleep there too. For the future, so that I may wake where my powers are needed…
Ringo
What do you mean let me sleep there? Did you… see the room too?!
Ringo
That's nonsense! You don't know when you'll wake up! I can't believe you're actually thinking of going to a future where you don't know anyone because everyone's dead and gone based on a prophecy that may or may not be true…!
Ringo
I won't let that happen! Queen Lili, say something!
Lili
...
Clara
But Ringo… I don't think… I can hold on any longer…
Clara
If there's nothing I can do… Or worse, if I'm in the way… I want to be… at a time… where I'm needed…
Ringo
Clara…

Scene IV

[expedition_bg_somewhere_underground]
[Clara and Lili appear]
Lili
The day this capsule opens… will be when the warnings from the beings of Heaven start to appear in the world. I always seem to be forcing you… a saintess to fight.
Clara
I hope it's an age where everyone has forgotten about the witch… and people join forces to fight just like the old days.
Lili
I'm sure it will. Human society always runs unreasonably, but in times of crisis, people do come together.
Clara
This… may be the duty Prometheia gave me.
[walks to the capsule]
Clara
I apologize for running away like this, Queen Lili…
[Lili walks to Clara]
Lili
No, Clara. I thank you for your determination…
Lili
You… are heading to the future with the most sacred mission, delivering Prometheia's grace to the final battle. Never forget that.
Clara
...
[background shuts black]
[hibernation_clara]
Lili
... Now… I'll have to figure out where to hide these people.
[Lili leaves]
Clara
I loved the way I made people smile using Prometheia's powers. But now, I've become unacceptable to them. No one smiled for me… anymore.
Clara
As I felt my senses go numb… a sense of liberation that I was no longer a saintess or a witch came over me. It was a peaceful feeling.
Clara
Just when everything that weighed on my mind was fading away,
Clara
Kaden's face… the very thing I buried deep inside my heart because I didn't want to become reliant, The figure I consciously erased, popped up. At the very last moment…
Clara
Will… we meet again?

We're coping with the influx of patients into the kingdom… But the kingdom's medical supplies are depleting quickly.

We'll have to do something about that soon. When is the messenger sent to the neighbouring country expected to arrive?

They are to arrive sometime today.

What is the matter, Kaden?
[idle_angry_idle]
[Kaden appears]
Kaden
What have you done to Clara? Why is she in the Hypersleep Pod!
Lili
Calm down, Kaden. I was going to tell you when you returned from your quest. I didn't expect you'd come like this.
Kaden
First… answer my question.
Lili
After much deliberation, Clara herself chose to go into hypersleep. To take part in the foretold war as the last user of Holy Power. She believed… that would be the way to save more people.
Kaden
There's no way Clara would think that! There are people in the kingdom who need her help…
Lili
They made her a witch.
Kaden
!
Lili
Kaden, didn't you feel it too? In a world where Holy Power is gone, how people look at those who burned the World Tree. It's not how you look at a hero who saved the world.
Kaden
...
Lili
At first… Clara continued to heal people regardless of how they looked at her. But, she's not as strong as you. She was attacked numerous times, and those who were wounded exceeded those she healed.
Kaden
T… Things would've been different if I were there. If I were by her side…
Lili
No, this tide is not something that can be changed by one or two people.
Lili
You pointing your sword at people… Would she have wanted that?
Kaden
……… Still, hypersleep isn't the solution! T… There has to be another way!
Lili
Clara is no different from the others who've also gone into hypersleep. Human society as it is now… cannot accept Clara. And yet, she chose to hibernate for everyone.
Kaden (shake)
But… I haven't yet…!
Lili
Kaden, Clara gave this a lot of thought. Let's respect her decision.
Kaden
Clara's… decision…
Kaden
...
Kaden
I apologize for barging in.

Clara
: It feels like I've been dreaming for a long time… I have no thoughts, and I don't feel anything, not even the passing of time.
[hero_silhouette]
Kaden
Clara… I heard from Queen Lili… ………
[hibernation_clara]
[Kaden appears]
Kaden
Things must've been tough… The more I traveled around and met different people, the more I realized. Why you made such a decision…
Kaden
If I were by your side, would things have been different? If we were together, could I have protected you?
Kaden (shake)
Even if nothing would've changed… at least I could have told you…!
Kaden
...
Kaden
No. If I keep blaming myself like this… it'll only upset you. After all… that's the kind of person you are, Clara.
Kaden
As always, I'll keep my eyes on what's up ahead. Creating a peaceful world… so you can wake at ease.
Kaden
I'm going to find the sword again. The prophecy's not really on the straightforward side, so it's been over 3 months since I've found a clue.
Kaden
That's I'm thinking of going farther away. Out of Kanterbury, past Shen City, and beyond. It'll be a long quest but… please wait for me.
Kaden
I will return, here, with the sword.
[Kaden turns away from Clara]
Kaden
To meet you… Clara.
[Kaden leaves]
Clara
I could feel it in my dreams. Kaden's comforting aura…
Clara
Did… he really come to see me…? I wish we could keep meeting… even if it's like this…

Kaden
Clara, I'm back. It's been a longer quest than I thought it would be.
[hibernation_clara]
[Kaden appears]
Kaden
I've traveled to many countries. I visited every temple and academy I could find to gather clues about the sword.
Kaden
Renowned martial artists and the lore of old organizations have been very helpful. I've also met many new allies, whom I'd like to introduce to you if the chance comes.
Kaden
...
Kaden
Alas… I have found the sword of the prophecy. The only thing is…
Kaden
...
Kaden
As you know, I have the power to read a sword's memory. What it has slashed through, its history, and even the owner's skills… That's how I was able to skillfully wield all the swords.
Kaden
But, this one was different.
[hero_memory_1]
[hero_memory_2]
Kaden
Endless memories of the same kind came pouring at me. As if they were shouting that I mustn't forget… On top of that…
Kaden
Those memories… were of the future. From me finding the sword, to the forthcoming future hero… the powerful enemies the gods of Heaven predicted… and subsequent events…
Kaden
How can the future be in the memory of a sword…?
Kaden
...
Kaden
No. What's clear is that the prophecy is real and that it must be stopped.
Kaden
I've begun to build a fortress to prepare for what is to come. Queen Lili and Lilith are also helping me.
Kaden
Ah. You probably don't know the news about Lilith. Lilith became Queen after bringing order to Demon World with Erina. Thanks to that, the fortress could be made with Demon World's technology.
Kaden
...
Kaden
Clara, when you wake up, grave danger will be awaiting. But we will be able to fight. I'll make sure of that.
[Kaden turns away from Clara]
Kaden
This time… together…
[Kaden leaves]
Clara
Although it seems like a lot of time has passed… Kaden's hopeful spirit remains strong.
Clara
Every time I feel Kaden's voice. I can't help but feel a sense of anticipation. That perhaps I might see him again…
Clara
This time… together…

Kaden
Hello, Clara. It's been a while. I'm sorry I didn't visit often.
[hibernation_clara]
[Kaden appears]
Kaden
...
Kaden
I've been trying various things lately to protect the world. I don't have much to show for it yet… But I'm sure it will become a way to make the world free.
Kaden
I've learned that merely preparing for the war… isn't enough to save the world.
[hero_meets_unknown_1]
Kaden
The more I retraced the sword's memory, the more confused I got. Who the enemy is, what is coming of the world…
[hero_meets_unknown_2]
Kaden
Then… that person appeared.
Kaden
They told me about the truth of the world. And I realized that if I could get to that truth, I could save the world.
Kaden
...
Kaden
Queen Lili and I don't see eye to eye. So, I'm searching for a way on my own… But I believe this is the right way. For all of us.
Kaden
It's going to work. Hold on just a bit longer. I'll be back with good results.
[Kaden leaves]
Clara
A subtle tremble… Could there be something on his mind?
Clara
Whatever the obstacle, he has always overcome them… He'll pull through this time too.
Clara
Stay strong, Kaden.

Kaden
Things… aren't going as well as I thought… I've tried hundreds of times… but it keeps failing.
Kaden
I don't know how many more times I need to try… I'm doing everything I can think of… But over! And over again!! It just keeps failing… I'm… not sure if I'm on the right track.
Kaden
Am I missing something… Does this really have a future…? Could it really set us free…?
Kaden
I need the answer… I need the answer, Clara…
Kaden
...
Kaden
Still and all… looking at you, Clara, makes me feel so much better. Even though you're asleep, you continue to bring me comfort…
Kaden
There aren't many options left. We're out of choices. I'm… going to do it. For the future.
[Kaden turns away from Clara]
Kaden
I'll be back soon.
[Kaden leaves]
Clara
I felt apprehension in Kaden's aura. An apprehension I've next sensed in any of Kaden's quests before…
Clara
I felt like I needed to be by his side. I… want to wake up now.

Quite some time… seems to have passed.

It's been far too long since Kaden has visited. Could something have happened to him…?

I believe in him though. It's Kaden. I'm sure he's found the answer he's been looking for…

Trivia[]

The description of "Old Diary" Archive is different in traditional chinese. It reads as follows:

A diary that is torn and smeared, making most of its contents illegible.

Among the chosen ones, the saint Clara is very popular, and even the trash she throws away is regarded as expensive treasures by the believers.

When the diary was found in the trash can in Clara's room, many followers who wanted to get the diary fought with each other, resulting in casualties.

The dispute lasted for three days, and the priest Dorothy confiscated the diary, bringing the lengthy dispute to an end.
