Summary of changes:

Previous: Chapter 3 (Black Eagles) | Next: Chapter 5 (Black Eagles)

Opening

  • 日を重ねるごとに陽は強くなり、
    虫の音と共に夜は短くなる。
  • 女神がいるという青海の星が空に戻ると、
    人々はその再誕を喜び祝う。
  • ガルグ=マク大修道院では
    再誕の儀が厳かに執り行われ、
  • フォドラ全土の熱心なセイロス教徒は、
    揃って大修道院に足を運ぶのだ。
  • As the days accumulate, the sun strengthens and the night shortens along with the sound of insects.
  • When the Star of the Blue Sea, where the Goddess is said to reside, returns to the sky, the people celebrate that rebirth with joy.
  • At Garreg Mach Monastery, the Ceremony of Rebirth is conducted strictly.
  • Faithful followers of the Church of Seiros turn up together en masse at the monastery.
  • As the sun grows stronger and the nights grow ever shorter, the Blue Sea Star returns to the sky once more.
  • Believed to be the goddess’s home, her followers look to the star and commence celebrations of her rebirth.
  • On the grounds of Garreg Mach Monastery, a grand ceremony is held in honor of this much anticipated event.
  • Every true follower of the Church of Seiros is sure to be in attendance.

Event: 敵の狙い・黒鷲の学級 (The Enemy’s Objective)

  • エーデルガルト: 暗殺計画に備えての見回りや警備……
    それが今節の課題というわけなのね。
  • ヒューベルト: くく……果たして、敵の狙いは
    本当に大司教の暗殺なのですかな。
  • > 「どういう意味？」
    エーデルガルト: あら、師せんせいは奇妙に思わないの？
  • > 「他に狙いがある」
    エーデルガルト: ええ、私もそう思う。
  • エーデルガルト: 私たちに見つけてくれと言わんばかりの
    杜撰な密書の管理……
  • あれが暗殺計画で皆の目を逸らすためなら、
    本当の狙いは別にあると考えるべきだわ。
  • フェルディナント: セイロス教団は多くの貴重な武具を
    所持している。それらが狙いでは？
  • ドロテア: 大修道院には宝物庫があるって聞いたわよ？
    真っ先に狙われそうなとこですけど。
  • リンハルト: ガルグ=マクは広い。地上だけでなく
    地下にも……その辺に何かないですかね。
  • ヒューベルト: 今節は大修道院の中を調べて、敵の狙いと
    なりそうなものを探してはいかがですかな。
  • 無論、敵と鉢合わせることも想定して、
    戦いの準備も抜かることはできませんがね。
  • シャミア: 顔を突き合わせて悪巧みか、先生？
  • おっと、名乗ったことはなかったな。
    私はシャミアだ。
  • エーデルガルト: シャミアさんはセイロス騎士団の一員よ。
    それから、こちらの少年が……
  • ツィリル: レアさまの従者で、シャミアさんの弟子の、
    ツィリルです。
  • > 「従者？」
    ツィリル: レアさまの身の回りのお世話をしています。
  • > 「弟子？」
    ツィリル: 弓とか剣とか、稽古をつけてもらってます。
  • ツィリル: ボクもレアさまを守りたくて……。
    だから、シャミアさんの弟子に。
  • シャミア: ツィリルはレアさんが大好きだからな。
    ま、互いにやれるだけやろう。
  • Edelgard: Patrol and security preparations for the assassination plan… So that is our mission this moon.
  • Huber: Kuku… Is our enemy’s objective really to assassinate the archbishop?
  • > 「What do you mean?」
    Edelgard: Oh my, Master, don’t you think something is wrong?
  • > 「They have another objective」
    Edelgard: Yes, I think so too.
  • Edelgard: The sloppy management of the secret message made it seem as if they wanted us to find it…
  • If that is going to distract everyone with the assassination plan, we must consider their true motives are something else.
  • Ferdinand: The Church of Seiros possesses valuable equipment.  Could they be after those?
  • Dorothea: I heard there’s a treasure vault in the monastery? Kinda seems like a place that would be targeted first.
  • Lindhart: Garreg Mach is vast. Not only on the surface but also underground… There could be something there.
  • Hubert: Why don’t we go around examining the monastery this moon and search for what could be the enemy’s objective?
  • Of course, we must also assume we’ll run into the enemy and cannot make errors in battle preparations.
  • Shamir: Is this a face-to-face conspiracy meeting, teacher?
  • Oh, I haven’t introduced myself. I am Shamir.
  • Edelgard: Shamir-san is one of the knights of Seiros. And this young man is…
  • Cyril: I’m Cyril, Lady Rhea’s servant and Shamir-san’s apprentice.
  • > 「Servant?」
    Cyril: I take care of Lady Rhea’s personal belongings.
  • > 「Apprentice?」
    Cyril: I’m getting training in things like sword and bow.
  • Cyril: I want to protect Lady Rhea too… so I became Shamir-san’s apprentice.
  • Shamir: Cyril loves Rhea-san, you see. Well, let’s do whatever we can for each other.[1]Shamir does not refer to Rhea with the -sama honorific, using only the polite -san.
  • Edelgard: Our mission this month is to patrol and set up defenses to stop the assassination plot.
  • Huber: I wonder if an assassination attempt is truly the goal of our enemy…
  • > 「What do you mean?」
    Edelgard: You must sense that something’s off about all of this.
  • > 「It’s a distraction.」
    Edelgard: Yes, I think so too.
  • Edelgard: A barely concealed secret message, trying to distract us from whatever’s really going on. Sloppy, to say the least.
  • And while everyone is out searching for a phantom assassin, they’ll be free to accomplish their true goal with ease.
  • Ferdinand: The monastery houses many valuable weapons. Perhaps that is their aim?
  • Dorothea: I hear the monastery has a treasure vault too. Seems like the sort of place a foe would like some alone time in.
  • Lindhart: Garreg Mach is immense, and not just above ground but below as well. Perhaps their aim lies beneath the monastery…
  • Hubert: It seems to me that we should search the monastery for a clue as to what the enemy might be after.
  • Of course, we must never underestimate the need for preparedness, in case a battle should ensue.
  • Shamir: A secret meeting, Professor?
  • Oh, we haven’t been introduced. I am Shamir.
  • Edelgard: Shamir is one of the Knights of Seiros. And this young man is-
  • Cyril: I work for Lady Rhea! And I’m Shamir’s apprentice! Oh, the name’s Cyril.
  • > 「You work for Rhea?」
    Cyril: Yep. I help Lady Rhea with all kinds of stuff.
  • > 「Shamir’s apprentice?」
    Cyril: Yep. She’s teaching me about the bow and the sword and all kinds of stuff.
  • Cyril: I’ve gotta protect Lady Rhea, so that’s why I’ve gotta learn all I can from Shamir.
  • Shamir: Cyril adores Rhea. That aside, if you need anything, ask.

Event: 女神再誕の儀・黒鷲の学級 (The Ceremony of the Goddess’ Rebirth)

  • > 《クエスト：敵の狙いを探して・未達成》
  • ヒューベルト: まもなく女神再誕の儀が始まりますが、
    敵の狙いは絞り切れませんでしたな。
  • エーデルガルト: 仕方ない……。
    臨機応変に対応するしかないわね。
  • フェルディナント: ふふっ、貴方らしからぬ言葉だな。
    ここは私が一肌脱いで……
  • カスパル: 誰がどっから来ようと、オレがぶっ飛ばす！
    レア様をやらせるかってんだ！
  • エーデルガルト: あのね、カスパル。
    私たちは大司教殿以外の狙いを……
  • –
  • > 《クエスト：敵の狙いを探して・達成済》
  • ヒューベルト: まもなく女神再誕の儀が始まりますな。
    我々も推測に従って動きますか。
  • エーデルガルト: ええ、そうね。
    師せんせい、自信の程はいかが？
  • > 「完璧だ」
    リンハルト: 先生、完璧な推測なんてあり得ませんよ。
    恥ずかしいこと言わないでください……。
  • > 「半々だ」
    ベルナデッタ: 半々なんですか？　あたし、五分五分だと
    思ったことが成功した試しないんですけど！。
  • > 「絶無だ」
    ペトラ: 絶無……です？　絶対と同じ、ですね？
    自信、絶対、頼もしいです。
  • ヒューベルト: フ……先生に自信があろうがなかろうが、
    敵は予定どおりに動くだけでしょうよ。
  • –
  • セテス: 君たち、緊張感が足りないようだが？
    間もなく女神再誕の儀が行われるのだぞ。
  • 我々が女神の塔に入っている間、警備が
    薄くなりそうな場所を特に警戒してくれ。
  • フレン: 先生、聞いてくださいます？
    お兄様ったら、酷いのです。
  • 心配だからお前は棺の中にでも隠れていたら
    どうか、なんて仰いますのよ？　ふふふ。
  • セテス: そ、それは冗談だと言っただろう、フレン。
    お前は私の後ろにずっといなさい。
  • ベレト、君は教師として
    しっかり生徒を指揮するように。以上だ。
  • フレン: 皆さん、失礼いたします。
    儀式の後でまたお会いしましょうね。
  • ヒューベルト: 棺の中、とは、面白いことを言いますな。
    実に面白い……くくく。
  • > 《クエスト未達成》
    エーデルガルト: 棺の、中……？　師せんせい、そういえば一ヶ所、
    気になっている場所があるの。
  • 他に当てがないならついてきて。
    修道院の地下……聖廟に。
  • > 《クエスト達成済》
    エーデルガルト: 師せんせい、早く身を隠して、
    聖廟へ下りる階段を見張りましょう？
  • 推測どおりに敵が入り込んだら、
    退路を断って一人残らず捕らえてやるわ。
  • > 《Quest：Find the Enemy’s Objective・Not Complete》
  • Hubert: The Ceremony of the Goddess’ Rebirth is starting soon, but we couldn’t narrow down the enemy’s objective.
  • Edelgard: It can’t be helped… We can only respond by adapting to the moment.
  • Ferdinand: Fufu, those words are unlike you. Here is where I pitch in and help…
  • Caspar: Whoever or wherever they’ll come from, I’ll send em flying! I won’t let them kill Lady Rhea, I say!
  • Edelgard: Um, Caspar. We mean objectives other than Mrs. Archbishop…
  • –
  • > 《Quest：Find the Enemy’s Objective・Complete》
  • Hubert: The Ceremony of the Goddess’ Rebirth is starting soon. Shall we also make a move according to our guess?
  • Edelgard: Yes, we should.  Master, how is your level of confidence?
  • > 「Flawless」
    Lindhart: Teacher, there’s no such thing a flawless guess.  Please don’t say such embarrassing things…[2]Lindhart is pointing out that the definition of a guess with no flaws is an oxymoron.
  • > 「Half and Half」
    Bernadetta: Half and half? But if I thought the odds of success were 50-50, I wouldn’t try it!
  • > 「Naught」
    Petra: Naught… ? Is that the same as, a lot?
    A lot, of confidence, is promising.[3]絶無 (Naught) is a lesser common word that shares the same first character with 絶対 (absolute).
    Petra confuses “zero confidence” with “absolute confidence”.
  • Hubert: Humph… whether or not our teacher has any confidence, all that matters is that the enemy moves as planned.
  • –
  • Seteth: Doesn’t look like you are taking this seriously enough. The Ceremony of the Goddess’ Rebirth will be performed shortly.
  • When we enter the Goddess Tour, guard the places where security appears to be thinnest.
  • Flayn: Teacher, would you hear me out? My brother is so mean.[4]Flayn addresses Seteth as onii-sama.  The line about him being strict/cruel is said jokingly.
  • He said “I’m worried, why don’t you hide inside a coffin?”[5]Seteth is talking about Flayn, not Byleth in this situation.  Seteth uses “omae” here, and he normally addresses Byleth as “kimi” while he normally addresses Flayn as “omae”.  Fufufu.
  • Seteth: I-I said that was a joke, Flayn. Stay behind me at all times.
  • Byleth, do your best as a teacher to strongly command the students.  That is all.
  • Flayn: Please excuse us, everyone. Let us meet again after the ceremony.
  • Hubert: “Inside a coffin”, such interesting words.  Truly fascinating… kukuku.
  • > 《Quest Not Completed》
    Edelgard: Inside, a coffin…? Master, now that you mention it, there is a place that I’m curious about.
  • If you have no other prospects, come with me. Underneath the monastery… to the Holy Mausoleum.
  • > 《Quest Completed》
    Edelgard: Master, shall we hurry and hide ourselves and stand guard over the stairs into the Holy Mausoleum?
  • If the enemy steps in according to our guess, we will cut off their retreat and capture every single one of them.
  • > 《Quest：Find the Enemy’s Objective・Not Complete》
  • Hubert: The Rite of Rebirth is about to begin, but we still don’t know what our enemy is after.
  • Edelgard: We have no choice but to deal with the situation as it unfolds.
  • Ferdinand: That does not sound like you at all. I suppose you’ll be needing my help on this one.
  • Caspar: It doesn’t matter where they go, they won’t get past me. I’ll never let them near Lady Rhea!
  • Edelgard: Ugh, Caspar, focus. Our mission is to find out what their true aim is.
  • –
  • > 《Quest：Find the Enemy’s Objective・Complete》
  • Hubert: The Goddess’s Rite of Rebirth is about to begin. Are we going to move forward with our plan?
  • Edelgard: I believe so. How confident are you in our theory, Professor?
  • > 「We’re not wrong.」
    Lindhart: No one’s intuition is perfect. It’s ridiculous not to have doubts.
  • > 「It could go either way.」
    Bernadetta: Oh, I don’t like those odds at all…
  • > 「I’m a little doubtful…」
    Petra: You have little doubts? That is good. We have no room for big doubts on this day.
  • Hubert: All that matters is how our enemy makes their move, not how our teacher feels about our plan.
  • –
  • Seteth: You seem a mite too relaxed for my liking. The Goddess’s Rite of Rebirth is about to begin.
  • While we are in the Goddess Tower, we are relying on you to secure the locations that are lacking in defense.
  • Flayn: May I let you in on something, Professor? My brother can be a bit…callous.
  • He told me that he was concerned about you, and hinted that perhaps you would be better off patrolling a coffin!
  • Seteth: That was said in jest, Flayn. And in confidence. Please just remain by my side and do not cause any more trouble.
  • As a professor, you would do well to remember that it is your duty to guide your students down the path of righteousness.
  • Flayn: Please excuse us, everyone. We shall see you again after the ceremony has concluded!
  • Hubert: A coffin. How fascinating.
  • > 《Quest Not Completed》
    Edelgard: A coffin… Professor, I do know of one location that has potential.
  • If you can’t think of another option, follow me to the Holy Mausoleum beneath the monastery.
  • > 《Quest Completed》
    Edelgard: Hurry, Professor. We must find a place to hide where we can guard the stairs to the Holy Mausoleum.
  • If the enemy moves as predicted, we should be able to cut off their escape path and capture every last one of them.

Battle: 女神再誕の儀襲撃戦 (The Ceremony of the Goddess’ Rebirth Raid)

  • > 戦闘開始時
  • 《クエスト未達成》
  • エーデルガルト: 一歩遅れた、というところかしら。
    招かれざる客が入り込んでいるわ。

    招かれざる客が入り込んでいるわ。

    わしが、棺の封印を解くまで時を稼げ！
  • 西方教会兵: ははっ！
  • > 1ターン目開始時
  • エーデルガルト: 敵の狙いは、奥にあるセイロスの棺ね。
    遺骨でも奪おうというのかしら？
  • 棺を開けられる前に、さっさと
    敵を一掃してしまいたいところだけど……
  • よく見て。
    床の一部に仕掛けがあるみたい。
  • 敵の武器に注意して、優位な場所で

  • > 1ターン目敵フェイズ
  • 謎の魔道士: 死神騎士よ！　おぬしは強いのだろう？
    奴らを蹴散らしてきてくれ！
  • 死神騎士: 貴様らの指図は受けん……。
    惰弱な者の相手など、退屈なだけ……。
  • エーデルガルト: あれは、強敵ね……避けましょう。
    戦わなくて済むならそのほうがいいわ。
  • > 4ターン目敵フェイズ
  • 謎の魔道士: 増援はまだ到着しないのか……？
  • 奴らの背後をついてくれれば、

    死にたいか……

  • エーデルガルト: 仕方がないわね。
    ……私が相手よ。
  • 死神騎士: ……ほう？
    これもまた一興か。
  • > メルセデス vs 死神騎士
  • メルセデス: あらあら、怖いわ～。
    手加減してちょうだいね～？
  • 死神騎士: 貴様は……そうか……
    この邂逅もまた……宿命か。
  • メルセデス: う～ん……？
    いったい何のことかしら～。

  • 死神騎士: 貴様ほどの者がいようとは……。
    良き邂逅だ……。

    おぬしらなど……な！？　この剣は……
  • > 《死神騎士未撃破時》
  • 死神騎士: その剣、まさか……。
    逸楽、見つけたり……！
  • エーデルガルト: くっ……逃げられたわね。
    それより師せんせいのその剣、どうして……？
  • ヒューベルト: おや、棺の中にあった剣、ですな。
    輝いていますが、それではまるで……
  • カトリーヌ: 侵入者はここか！？　……って、あれまあ。
    だいたい片づいてんな。
  • 者ども！　生き残ってる侵入者どもを、
    残らずふん縛れ！
  • セイロス騎士: ははっ！
  • > Battle Start
  • 《Quest Incomplete》
  • Edelgard: Guess we were one step too late. Unexpected guests have come in.
  • 《Quest Complete》
  • Edelgard: Looks like our guess was right. Unexpected guests have come in.
  • Mysterious Mage: So we were already noticed by the Central guys… Buy me time while I undo the seal of the coffin!
  • Western Church Soldier: Yes sir!
  • > Turn 1 Start
  • Edelgard: The enemy’s objective is inside the tomb of Seiros. I wonder if they will do something like take her remains?
  • I’d like to swiftly wipe out the enemy right before they can open the coffin, though…
  • Take a good look. Looks like there are some devices on a section of the floor.
  • Let’s pay attention to the enemy’s weapons and proceed to fight from advantageous locations?
  • > Turn 1 Enemy Phase
  • Mysterious Mage: Death Knight! You’re strong, aren’t you? Scatter those guys around for me![6]The Mysterious Mage speaks not unlike Sothis, referring to others as “yatsu” and “onushi”.
  • Death Knight: I do not take instructions from you… Feeble enemies like them are just boring…[7]The Death in Death Knight is actually “shinigami”, Japanese gods/spirits of death akin to the Grim Reaper.
  • Edelgard: That is a strong foe… let’s avoid him. It would be better if we can finish without fighting him.
  • > Turn 4 Enemy Phase
  • Mysterious Mage: Have the reinforcements not arrived yet…？
  • If they follow those guys’ rear, we might be able to flank them on both sides…
  • > vs Death Knight
  • Death Knight: So you approach wanting the flame, like an insect…?
  • After Death Knight Fight(On Non-Defeat)
  • Death Knight: Though I said I would not chase if you ran, …do you want to die…?
  • > Edelgard vs Death Knight
  • Edelgard: It can’t be helped. …I am your opponent.
  • Death Knight: …Hoh? Will you amuse me once again with this?
  • > Mercedes vs Death Knight
  • Mercedes: My my, so scary. Would you please go easy on me~?
  • Death Knight: You are… I see… Is this chance encounter… also fate?[8]The Death Knight refers to everyone, even Mercedes, as “kisama”.
  • Mercedes: Hmm…? What in the world are you talking about~?
  • > Death Knight Defeated
  • Death Knight: That there should be ones like you… A fortunate encounter…
  • > vs Mysterious Mage
  • Mysterious Mage: Humph, too slow…! The seal will be lifted before long…
  • > Mysterious Mage defeated or Turn 25
  • Mysterious Mage: You’re too late…! The seal is already lifted! The likes of you are… wha?! This sword is…
  • > 《Death Knight Not Defeated》
  • Death Knight: That sword, could it be… A pleasant discovery…!
  • Edelgard: Kuh… he ran away. More importantly, that sword of Master’s, how…?
  • Hubert: Oh my, that’s the sword that was inside the casket, huh? It’s shining, almost like it’s…
  • Catherine: Where are the intruders?! …Uh, oh dear. Looks like it’s mostly under control.
  • You all! Tie up every last surviving intruder!
  • Seiros Knight: Yes ma’am!
  • > Battle Start
  • 《Quest Incomplete》
  • Edelgard: We were one step too late. Our unwanted guests are already here.
  • 《Quest Complete》
  • Edelgard: We were right. Unwanted gusts have come to visit.
  • Mysterious Mage: Those Central Church dastards have spotted us… Buy me some time while I open the seal on the casket!
  • Western Church Soldier: I’m on it.
  • > Turn 1 Start
  • Edelgard: Our enemy appears to be after the tomb of Saint Seiros in the back. Are they attempting to steal her bones?
  • It would be best to defeat them before the achieve their aim.
  • Look closely… There are contraptions of some sort on the floor.
  • We must pay attention to our enemies’ weapons and advance while attacking them from advantageous positions.
  • > Turn 1 Enemy Phase
  • Mysterious Mage: Death Knight! Prove your strength and scatter these fools!
  • Death Knight: I don’t take commands. Or waste my time on weaklings.
  • Edelgard: That knight is a powerful enemy… Let’s do all we can to avoid him.
  • > Turn 4 Enemy Phase
  • Mysterious Mage: The reinforcements haven’t arrived?!
  • If they approach from behind, we can attack them from both sides…
  • > vs Death Knight
  • Death Knight: Like moths to a flame…
  • After Death Knight Fight(On Non-Defeat)
  • Death Knight: I told you that if you fled, I would not chase you. But it seems you wish to die…
  • > Edelgard vs Death Knight
  • Edelgard: There’s no way around it… I accept your challenge!
  • Death Knight: Oh? This will be fun…
  • > Mercedes vs Death Knight
  • Mercedes: Oh my, how frightening! Won’t you please go easy on me?
  • Death Knight: You… Was this meeting…preordained?
  • Mercedes: Hmm? What do you mean?
  • > Death Knight Defeated
  • Death Knight: I didn’t expect to encounter someone like you… How fortunate.
  • > vs Mysterious Mage
  • Mysterious Mage: You’re too late! The seal will be broken any minute now…
  • > Mysterious Mage defeated or Turn 25
  • Mysterious Mage: It’s no use! The seal is broken. You can’t– Huh? A sword?
  • > 《Death Knight Not Defeated》
  • Death Knight: That sword is…I see. What a pleasant surprise.
  • Edelgard: Ugh… he got away! That sword… Why is it-
  • Hubert: That’s the sword that was in the casket. Seems to be shimmering, almost as though…
  • Catherine: Is the intruder here?! Oh… Looks like you have this under control.
  • You! Round up any stragglers.
  • Seiros Knight: Will do!

Event: 裁き・黒鷲の学級 (Judgement – Black Eagles)

  • セテス: ……さて、貴方がたが犯した重大な
    背信行為について、大司教より沙汰がある。
  • シャミア: 王国領主の煽動、大修道院への侵入、
    大司教の暗殺未遂、聖廟の襲撃……。
  • 余罪を調べるまでもないな、
    西方教会の皆さん。
  • 司祭: なっ！？
    我々は西方教会などと関わりは……
  • セテス: すでに貴方がたの身元は割れている。
    見え透いた芝居はやめていただこうか。
  • レア: 神聖なる儀式を穢したことは、
    聖職にある者にとって、万死に値します。
  • もはや今生に救いの道はありません。
    潔く、その命をもって罪をあがなうのです。
  • 司祭: クッ、聞いていた計画とは違った。
    我々は騙されたのだ……！
  • シャミア: 何をぶつぶつ言っている。
    どう言い訳しても罪は変わらん。
  • レア: あなた方の魂が、つつがなく
    主の身許へ還らんことを……。
  • 司祭: や、やめろ！　我々を処刑するなど
    主がお許しになるはずがない！
  • 司祭: 女狐め……こうやって幾人もの同胞を
    殺してきたのを知っているのだぞ！
  • レア: 詮議は以上です。
    彼らを連れていきなさい。
  • エーデルガルト: ………………。
  • エーデルガルト: ……というわけよ。暗殺計画も聖廟の襲撃も
    すべて、西方教会の仕業だったようね。
  • 襲撃を指揮していた仮面の騎士は姿を消し、
    足取りも掴めなかったらしいわ。
  • ヒューベルト: セイロス聖教会も一枚岩ではない、
    ということなのでしょうな。
  • 西方教団の司教は、ガルグ＝マク主導で進む
    教団の運営に常から否定的だったようです。
  • 今回の件は、憎き大司教を消し、中央協会の
    権威失墜をも狙った策だったわけですか。
  • > 「西方教会……」
    > 「中央教会？」
    エーデルガルト: そういえば、師せんせいは教会には一切近寄らずに
    育ったってジェラルト殿が言っていたわね。
  • セイロス聖教会は、効率良く布教するため、
    幾つかの教会に分かれて活動しているの。
  • 中央教会は教団の運営を主導する最も大きな
    教会で、本部はここガルグ＝マクにある。
  • ヒューベルト: 西方教会はロナート卿が反乱を起こした
    ガスパール城より遥か西……
  • 王国一と称される城塞都市アリアンロッドを
    越えた先に本部を置いていますな。
  • エーデルガルト: ともかく、騎士団は西方教会上層部の 討伐に乗り出すみたいね。
  • 私たちにも任務の手伝いをする機会が
    あるかもしれないわ。
  • ヒューベルト: しかしフォドラに生まれながら、
    セイロス教と関わらずにいる者など……
  • 数えるほどもいないと思っておりましたが、
    先生は実に風変わりなお方ですな、くくく。
  • エーデルガルト: そんな人に生徒を指導させる大司教殿も、
    変わっているわ。何か思惑があるのかしら。
  • カスパル: レア様かー、怖え人だよな。一人残らず
    処刑なんて、流石に厳しすぎねえか？
  • ベルナデッタ: あ……あたしも、何かやらかしたら、
    厳しい罰を受けちゃうんでしょうか！
  • ドロテア: ……先生は、大司教様のやり方が、
    正しいと思います？
  • セテス: ここにいたか、先生。
  • 大司教から話があるそうだ。来てくれ。
  • Seteth: …Now then, regarding the lot of you committing serious breaches of faith, you will be given a sentence by the Archbishop.
  • Shamir: Incitement of a Kingdom feudal lord, trespassing into the monastery, attempted assassination of the Archbishop, raiding the Holy Mausoleum…
  • It’s unnecessary to examine any further offenses, all of you from the Western Church.
  • Priest: Wha?! Our relation to the likes of the Western Church is…
  • Seteth: Your identities have already been established. Would you stop with the obvious act?
  • Rhea: For those working in the church, the defiling of the sacred ceremony merits certain death.
  • Your life in this world is no longer on the path to salvation. You will gracefully offer your take your own life to pay for your crime.
  • Priest: Kuh, this isn’t how the plan we were following was supposed to go. We were deceived…！
  • Shamir: What are you going on about? No matter what your excuse, it doesn’t change the crime.
  • Rhea: May their souls return to the Lord, free of illness…
  • Priest: S-stop this! There’s no way the Lord will forgive you if you execute us!
  • Priest: You damned she-fox… we know you killed many of our brethren in this way!
  • Rhea: That is all for the investigation. Take them away.
  • Edelgard: …
  • Edelgard: …So that’s that. The assassination plot and the attack on the Holy Mausoleum were all acts of the Western Church.
  • The masked knight who was ordered to attack has disappeared and it seems we were unable to trace his movements.
  • Hubert: This means that the Church of Seiros is not a monolith.
  • It appears the priests of the Western Church were always opposed to the church’s leadership continuing to run things at Garreg Mach.
  • Was their plan in this incident aiming to kill the Archbishop they hated to topple the authority of the central organization?
  • > 「The Western Church…」
    > 「The Central Church?」
    Edelgard: Come to think of it, Mr. Jeralt said that Master was raised completely isolated from the church.
  • In order to effectively proselytize, the Church of Seiros moved to split into several branches.
  • The Central Church is the biggest branch which leads the church’s administration, with their headquarters being Garreg Mach.
  • Hubert: The Western Church, who incited Lord Lonato to rebel, comes from far west of Castle Gaspard…
  • Their headquaters lie beyond the fortress city known as the Kingdom’s greatest, Arianrhod.
  • Edelgard: Anyhow, it looks like the knights have set out to subjugate the higher-ups in the Western Church.
  • Maybe we will even have the chance to assist their mission.
  • Hubert: Still, to think that there are those born in Fodlan who are not affected by the Church of Seiros…
  • I thought people like you were few enough to be counted, but our teacher is truly an eccentric gentleperson[9]Gentleman or lady, kukuku.
  • Edelgard: And an archbishop who makes that kind of person instruct students is strange as well.  I wonder what intentions she has.
  • Casper: Lady Rhea, eh?  She sure is a scary person. Isn’t executing everyone way stricter than expected?
  • Bernadetta: I-if I also mess up something, does that mean I’ll end up getting a strict punishment?!
  • Dorothea: …Teacher, do you think the Archbishop’s way of doing things is correct?
  • Seteth: There you are, Teacher.
  • It seems the Archbishop has something to discuss. Come with me.
  • Seteth: As all of you have committed a breach of faith, the archbishop will now pass judgement.
  • Shamir: Inciting a Kingdom noble to rebel. Unlawful entry. The attempted assassination of the archbishop. An attack on the Holy Mausoleum.
  • It is unnecessary to go on, followers of the Western Church.
  • Priest: What?! We have nothing to do with the Western Church!
  • Seteth: You have already been identified. Please spare us your second-rate theater.
  • Rhea: Dishonoring a holy ceremony is worthy of death for a member of the church. You are well past the hope of redemption.
  • If you have any grace remaining, you will willingly offer your life as atonement for this crime.
  • Priest: No! This isn’t what we were told would happen! We’ve been deceived!
  • Shamir: It’s no use arguing. Whatever your excuse, the punishment stands.
  • Rhea: May your souls find peace as they return to the goddess…
  • Priest: Wait! Please! The goddess would never forgive you for our execution!
  • Priest: Monster! We know you’ve already slaughtered many of our fellow brethren like this!
  • Rhea: This concludes the investigation. Please remove these poor, lost souls from my sight.
  • Edelgard: …
  • Edelgard: That’s that, I suppose. The assassination attempt, the attack on the Holy Mausoleum… It was all the Western Church’s doing.
  • That masked knight who led the attack somehow managed to disappear without a trace.
  • Hubert: The Church of Seiros clearly isn’t as unified as it would hope to appear.
  • It seems the bishop of the Western Church was always opposed to the church being ruled centrally from Garreg Mach.
  • Perhaps they hope to remove the archbishop in order to completely strip the Central Church of its authority.
  • > 「The Western Church…」
    > 「The Central Church?」
    Edelgard: Ugh, that’s right. Jeralt mentioned that you were raised without any exposure to the church.
  • In order to function more efficiently, the Church of Seiros is split into several smaller entities.
  • The Central Church is the largest and leads the organization from Garreg Mach.
  • Hubert: The Western Church extends from Castle Gaspard, where Lord Lonato rebelled into the far west.
  • They can be found just beyond the most renowned stronghold of the Kingdom, the Fortress City of Arianrhod.
  • Edelgard: It seems the knights have been tasked with subduing the leaders of the Western Church.
  • We may be give an opportunity to help them with their mission.
  • Hubert: To think…our own professor was born in Fódlan and yet knew nothing of the church.
  • I never imagined explaining something so basic to an instructor of mine. You’re something of a special case, are you not?
  • Edelgard: How strange that the archbishop would ask someone like that to lead her students. There’s clearly more to that decision than we know.
  • Casper: Lady Rhea is pretty scary sometimes…but to execute that whole group just like that? It seems harsh, even for her.
  • Bernadetta: If one of us does something bad, I wonder what she would do to us!
  • Dorothea: Professor… Do you agree with the archbishop’s actions?
  • Seteth: There you are, Professor.
  • It seems Lady Rhea would like a word with you. Come with me.

Event: 闇に蠢く (They Squirm in the Dark)

  • ？？？: 大司教は生き延びたようだな。
  • 西方教会の豚どもになど、
    元より期待はしておらなんだが……。
  • ？？？: ……公よ、悲報と朗報がある。
  • 悲報は、セイロスの遺骸だ。棺には
    そのようなもの、何も入ってはいなかった。
  • 朗報は、その代わりにあるものが
    棺に入っていた……あの”天帝の剣”だ。
  • ？？？: ほう、あの盗賊の……
    いや、”解放王”の剣か。
  • ？？？: 盗賊……？
    まあ良い、手にしたのは新任の教師だ。
  • やはりと言うべきか、天帝の剣からは
    紋章石が外されていた。
  • ？？？: む……そうであろうな。剣と石、
    二つを一つ所に保管するなどはあり得ぬ。
  • ？？？: だが、その教師……天帝の剣の力を
    使ってみせたぞ。
  • 紋章石のない剣が、赤き輝きを放った……
    あれは紋章の適合反応と見て間違いない。
  • ？？？: 何だと？
    紋章石のない遺産を使えるはずが……。
  • いや、そもそも解放王の血筋は……、
    そのようなわけが……むう……。
  • ？？？: しばらく泳がせておくぞ。
    あの教師については情報が足りぬ。
  • それより貴様に頼まれていた件だが……
    死神を貸そう。上手く使え。
  • ？？？: なるほど、あやつか……。
    よかろう、楽しみにしておるぞ。
  • ？？？: It appears the Archbishop survived.
  • Not that I had any expectations to begin with for those pigs from the Western Church.…
  • ？？？: …I have some good news and some bad news for you.
  • The bad news is the remains of Seiros. There was nothing like that inside the coffin.
  • The good news is, there was something else instead of that… That “Sword of the Creator”.[10]天帝 (tentei), literally “heaven emperor”, is used to refer the the supreme god in any religion.
    This can be the Christian God, Hindu God, Chinese God, etc.
  • ？？？: Hoh, that bandit’s… No, the “Liberation King’s” sword?
  • ？？？: Bandit…? Whatever.  The one who obtained it is the newly hired teacher.
  • Just as I expected, the crest stone was removed from the Sword of the Creator.
  • ？？？: Hm… That makes sense. It would be unlikely for them to do something like store the two things, sword and stone, in one location.
  • ？？？: But that teacher… showed they could use the power of the Sword of the Creator.
  • The sword had no crest stone, but it released a red glow… Having seen it, there is no mistaking that was a reaction of crest compatibility.
  • ？？？: What did you say? It shouldn’t be possible to use an heirloom with a crest stone…
  • No, after all the Liberation King’s bloodline is… based on that conclusion… Hmm…
  • ？？？: We will allow them to swim for now. We don’t have enough information about that teacher.
  • But putting that aside, the matter of what you requested… I shall lend the Reaper to you. Use him wisely.
  • ？？？: I see, that guy, huh… Very well, I’m looking forward to it.
  • ？？？: The archbishop lives.
  • Not that I had ever placed much faith in those swine from the Western Church.
  • ？？？: I have news, both good and bad.
  • The remains of Seiros were not in the tomb.
  • However, something else was. The Sword of the Creator.
  • ？？？: Ah, the weapon wielded by that thief, the King of Liberation.
  • ？？？: Thief? Hm. At any rate, it is now in the hands of the academy’s new professor.
  •  I doubt you will be surprised to hear that the Crest Stone had already been removed from the sword when it was found.
  • ？？？: Hmph. As expected. It would be foolish to keep both in the same location.
  • ？？？: There’s more. The professor was able to awaken the sword’s true power.
  • Even without the Crest Stone, the sword glowed red. The professor’s Crest is compatible. There is no mistaking it.
  • ？？？: Absurd. Using a Relic without its Crest Stone should be impossible…
  • The King of Liberation’s bloodline should not even… Hmm.
  • ？？？: They must be allowed to keep it, for now. I do not have enough information about the professor to act.
  • As for your request, I assent. The Death Knight is at your command. Use him well.
  • ？？？: Good. I believe I will enjoy this a great deal…

Event: 報告・青梅の節 (Report – Blue Sea Moon)

  • レア: 聖廟への侵入者を撃退し、”天帝の剣”を
    守ってくれたこと、感謝の念に堪えません。
  • その天帝の剣は、英雄の遺産の１つであり、
    教団の所蔵品の中でも最も貴重な品です。
  • ……ですが、同時に恐ろしい
    武器でもあります。
  • その剣は、あなたに預けます。
    ただし、使い方を誤らぬように……。
  • セテス: 大司教、お待ちください！
    天帝の剣をこの者に託すと仰るのですか？
  • この者が、たまたま剣を扱えたからとて
    そう易々と預けていい物ではないはずです。
  • またネメシスのような者が現れれば、
    大地は再び戦禍に覆われるのですぞ！
  • > 「ネメシス？」
    セテス: “解放王”ネメシス……千年以上前に
    聖者セイロスによって討たれた人間の王だ。
  • かつてフォドラが邪神に襲われた際、
    主はネメシスに天帝の剣を授けたという。
  • ネメシスはその剣で邪神を退け、フォドラを
    救って、”解放王”とあだ名されたのだ。
  • しかし、その後は力に溺れていき、ついには
    自ら邪に染まって、聖者に討たれた……。
  • 大司教、どうかお考え直しください。
    この者の資質をもう少し見極めてから……。
  • レア: いいえ、私は確信しているのです。
    この者ならば邪に染まることはない、と。
  • ネメシスの死後、誰一人として使うことの
    能わなかった天帝の剣……。
  • 長きに渡って封印されていたその剣を、
    正しく使って見せたのですから。
  • セテス: ……わかりました。
    大司教が、そう仰せならば……。
  • ベレト、そういうことだ。
    大司教の信頼を裏切ることのないように。
  • ソティス: “天帝の剣”、”解放王”、か……。
    何やらわからぬ話ばかりじゃな。
  • わしにはあのレアという者の考えが、
    さっぱり読めぬ。
  • なぜ最も貴重な品だというその剣を、
    おぬしなぞにほいほいと託せるのじゃ。
  • > 「確かに……」
    > 「剣に選ばれたから……」
    ソティス: 本当におぬしは選ばれたのか？
  • ソティス: 何やら得体の知れぬ企みに、
    巻き込まれているのかもしれぬな。
  • それに……気がかりは他にもある。
  • 前に見た英雄の遺産と、”天帝の剣”には
    どうにも気になる差があるではないか。
  • その……ええと、何という名じゃったかな。
    カ……カ……
  • > 「カトリーヌ？」
    ソティス: そう、それじゃ！　そやつが見せてくれた
    “雷霆”と違って”天帝の剣”には……
  • > 「カッコウ？」
    ソティス: 違うわい！
    おぬし、鳥が好きなのか？
  • 確か、カトリーヌじゃ。そやつの持つ
    “雷霆”と違って”天帝の剣”には……
  • ソティス: ぽっかりと空いた穴がある。
    明らかに何かが足りておらぬのじゃ。
  • わしは、わからぬことが恐ろしい。
    ……じゃが、おぬしのことは信じておる。
  • おぬしならば、何があろうと
    道を切り拓いてゆける。そうじゃろう？
  • Rhea: I cannot overstate my thanks for repelling the invaders from the Holy Mausoleum and protecting the Sword of the Creator.
  • That Sword of the Creator is one of the Hero’s Heirlooms, and is the most valuable item among the ones in the Church’s possession.
  • …But at the same time, it is also a terrifying weapon.
  • I will leave that sword with you for now. However, I pray you will not misuse it…
  • Seteth: Archbishop, please wait! Are you saying you will entrust the sword of the creater to this person?
  • Just because this person can coincidentally handle the weapon, it cannot be a good thing to so readily give possession of it to them.
  • If someone like Nemesis were to appear again, the land would once again be consumed by the ravages of war!
  • > 「Nemesis?」
    Seteth: Nemesis, “The King of Liberation”… He was a human king who was defeated by Saint Seiros over a thousand years ago.
  • Long ago, when Fodlan was attacked by an evil god[11]It could be one or more evil gods., they say the Lord granted Nemesis the Sword of the Creator.
  • Nemesis drove back the evil god with that sword, saved Fodlan, and was nicknamed the “King of Liberation”.
  • However, the power got to his head afterwards and in the end, he himself was corrupted by evil and was defeated by the saint…
  • Archbishop, please reconsider somehow. After we determine this person’s nature, then we can…
  • Rhea: No, I have faith. Faith that this person will not be corrupted by evil.
  • After the death of Nemesis, not a single person has been capable of using the Sword of the Creator…
  • After all, they have shown that they can properly use that sword which has been sealed for a long time.
  • Seteth: …Understood.  If the archbishop says so…
  • Byleth, that’s that.  May you not betray the Archbishop’s trust.
  • Sothis: “Sword of the Creator”, and “King of Liberation”, huh… For some reason they’re all stories I don’t understand.
  • To me, I can’t read that Rhea person’s thoughts at all.
  • Why would she mysteriously and thoughtlessly entrust to you the sword that she says is the most valuable thing?
  • > 「It’s certainly…」
    > 「I was chosen by the sword…」
    Sothis: Were you really chosen by the sword?
  • Sothis: Maybe you’re being dragged into an incomprehensible scheme somehow.
  • Furthermore… There are other things that worry me.
  • Doesn’t it bother you that the “Sword of the Creator” is somehow different from the other Hero’s Heirlooms we’ve seen earlier?
  • That… umm, what was her name? Ca… Ca…
  • > 「Catherine?」
    Sothis: Yes, that’s it!　As opposed to the “Thunderbolt” she showed, in the “Sword of the Creator”…
  • > 「Cuckoo?」
    Sothis: That’s not it! Are you that into birds?
  • It was definitely Catherine. As opposed to the “Thunderbolt” she had, in the “Sword of the Creator”…
  • Sothis: There is a wide open hole. Obviously something is missing.
  • Not knowing things terrifies me… But, I believe in you.
  • Whatever arises, I know you will survive and cut open a path. Isn’t that right?
  • Rhea: I cannot thank you enough for defeating those invaders in the Holy Mausoleum, and especially for protecting the Sword of the Creator.
  • That sword is one of the Heroes’ Relics, and the most precious artifact in the church’s possession.
  •  It is also a weapon of terrifying power.
  • For now…I will entrust the sword to you. Please, use it wisely.
  • Seteth: Lady Rhea, wait! Do you truly mean to give the Sword of the Creator to this stranger?!
  • Surely it is not the sort of thing that one hands over so readily, even to someone who has the ability to wield it!
  • If someone like Nemesis were to appear again, all of Fódlan would be consumed by war!
  • > 「Nemesis?」
    Seteth: Nemesis, the King of Liberation. He is an ancient king of mankind who was defeated by Seiros over a thousand years ago.
  • When Fódlan was attacked by wicked gods, it is said that the goddess gifted Nemesis with the Sword of the Creator.
  • Nemesis used that sword to defeat the wicked gods, saving all of Fódlan. Henceforth he was dubbed the King of Liberation.
  • However, his power began to corrupt him until he, himself, turned to the darkness. Saint Seiros was forced to destroy him.
  • Lady Rhea, I beg you to reconsider. Given a little more time, we could more accurately assess this stranger’s abilities.
  • Rhea: No. I have faith, Seteth. Faith that our friend here will not be corrupted by wickedness.
  • Since the death of Nemesis, none have been able to wield the Sword of the Creator.
  • Now, after all those long years of being sealed away, it has returned and found a new master.
  • Seteth:  I…understand. As you wish, Lady Rhea.
  • There you have it, Professor. See that you do not betray the trust the archbishop has seen fit to bestow upon you.
  • Sothis: The Sword of the Creator. The King of Liberation. Each tale is more confusing than the last!
  •  And I really can’t read that Rhea at all…
  • That sword is clearly precious… So why is she so keen to gift the thing to you?
  • > 「It certainly is strange.」
    > 「The sword chose me.」
    Sothis: Is that a fact?
  • Sothis: I feel as though we have become entangled in a mystery…
  • And there is one more thing that has been plaguing me.
  • The Sword of the Creator… It somehow feels distinct from other Relics we have seen. Such as the one that…
  • Oh goodness, what was her name? Ca… Cat…
  • > 「Catherine?」
    Sothis: Yes! Her! The Sword of the Creator is different from her Thunderbrand in one key way.
  • > 「Cat?」
    Sothis: What is wrong with that head of yours? Of course it’s not a cat!
  • Her name is Catherine. The Sword of the Creator differs from her Thunderbrand in one key way.
  • Sothis: It bears a hole…where something should have been, but is no more.
  • I despise not knowing what is going on! It…it frightens me. And yet… I place my trust in you. I must.
  • Whatever comes to pass…please swear to cut a path that is your own.

↑1 Shamir does not refer to Rhea with the -sama honorific, using only the polite -san.

Petra confuses “zero confidence” with “absolute confidence”.
