Previous: Chapter 11 (Black Eagles) | Next: Chapter 13 (Silver Snow)

Event: 開戦・黒鷲の学級 (War Begins – Black Eagles)

  • エーデルガルト: 今は……退くわ。
  • ……ヒューベルト！
  • レア: どこへ逃げようとも、セイロス聖教会が
    総力を挙げて、必ずあなたを捕らえます！
  • あなたはこの聖墓を穢し、主を貶め、
    同胞たちを辱めたのです。
  • その罪は、たとえ煉獄の炎で焼かれようと、
    すべての血を流し尽くそうと、消えません。
  • レア: ……ベレト。
    上に戻り、今後の方針を立てましょう。
  • セテス: エーデルガルトとヒューベルトの２人は
    行方をくらました。帝国へ戻ったのだろう。
  • 捜索と偵察のため、騎士を遣ってある。
    新たな動きがあれば報告が来る。
  • 最悪の場合、帝国軍との戦端が
    開かれることは想像に難くない。
  • 《黒鷲の学級生徒を全員ロストしている場合、以下の会話は省略される》
  • セテス: そうなった時、帝国出身の……
    君たちに、祖国と戦う覚悟はあるか？
  • ……帰国を望むならば止めはしない。
    君たち自身が決めることだ。
  • フェルディナント: エーデルガルトたちが間違った行いを
    するのなら、私はそれを討つまでさ。
  • カスパル: オレらがあいつらを止めてやらねえと！
    このままじゃ戦争になっちまう！
  • リンハルト: 僕は、はっきり言って戦いたくないですね。
    彼女のためにも。だけど……。
  • ベルナデッタ: えっ？　いや、その？　い、いきなり
    決めろって言われても無理ですよおおお！
  • ドロテア: エーデルちゃんやヒューくんには悪いけど、
    私は先生に従います。
  • ペトラ: 彼女、誤り、やり方です。ならば……
    私たち、正す必要、ある、あります。
  • セテス: ……君たちにもそれぞれ、
    思うところはあるだろう。
  • 先生とよく話し合って、決めるのだ。
    戦いの始まる、その時までに……。
  • セテス: ベレト、フォドラの安寧のため、
    君の力を頼りにしている。
  • エーデルガルト: 教団は、フォドラを支配せんとする欲望の
    ために教義を利用し、人々を欺いてきた。
  • かつて帝国を分裂させて王国を作り、
    王国を分裂させて同盟を生んだのもそうだ。
  • それらはすべて人々を争わせ、民の安寧を
    脅かすことで己の権勢を保つためだった。
  • 女神に救いを求める人々の信仰心を利用し、
    金を掻き集め、贅を尽くす偽善者たち……。
  • 彼らはフォドラを導くことなどできない。
    そんな信仰は、打ち砕かれるべきだ。
  • ゆえに、私は決断した！
  • アドラステア皇帝エーデルガルト＝フォン＝
    フレスベルグの名において……
  • ここにセイロス教団との開戦を宣言する！
  • セテス: 信じられん事態だ……。
  • 状況を整理しよう、ベレト。
    君たちが聖墓から戻った後……
  • アドラステア帝国が、セイロス聖教会と
    我らに味方する諸侯に対して宣戦した。
  • 「宣戦？」
  • セテス: エーデルガルトは父王を退位させると、
    自らが皇帝になったのだ。
  • 彼女はセイロス聖教会こそがこの世の
    悪だとして、民衆に呼びかけているらしい。
  • 偵察に遣っている騎士が帰還次第、
    大司教を交えて対応を協議する予定だ。
  • それまでに君は、生徒たちが動揺せぬよう
    見ていてやってくれ。
  • Edelgard: I will… withdraw now.
  • …Hubert!
  • Rhea: No matter where you try to run, the Church of Seiros will amass all their efforts and capture you without fail!
  • For you have defiled the Holy Tomb,  disparaged the Lord, and disgraced your bretheren.
  • Even if you burned in the flames of purgatory and were drained of all your blood, you could not erase those sins.
  • …Byleth.  Let us go back up and set a course of action.
  • Seteth: Edelgard and Hubert have gone missing.  I’m sure they’ve returned to the Empire.
  • The Knights have been sent in order to do investigation and reconnaisance. They will let us know if there are any new developments.
  • In the worst case, it’s not difficult to imagine the start of hostilities with the Imperial Army.
  • 《If all students in the Black Eagles are lost, the following dialogue is omitted》
  • Seteth: When that time comes, those of you from the Empire…  Are you prepared to fight against your homeland?
  • …If you wish to return to your nation, I will not stop you.  The decision is yours.
  • Ferdinand: If Edelgard and her followers are doing misdeeds, then not until we end them[1]Ferdinand says それを討つ.  それ refers to things rather than people, and 討つ means to attack or defeat.  Ferdinand is likely talking about the misdeeds, rather than Edelgard specifically..
  • Caspar: We’ve gotta stop them!  If this keeps up, it’s going to become a war!
  • Linhardt: Like I said before, I don’t want to fight.  That goes for fighting for her too.  Although…
  • Bernadetta: Eh? Wait, what?  You can’t just tell us this all of a sudden and expect us to decideee!
  • Dorothea:  Sorry to do this to Edel-chan and Hubie-kun, but I’m following Teacher.
  • Petra: Her method, it is, a mistake.  Therefore… there is a need, for us, to make it right.
  • Seteth: …I’m sure all of you each have your own thoughts on this.
  • Meet with your Teacher to discuss it and decide.  You have up until the fighting begins…
  • Byleth, for the peace of Fodlan, we will be relying on your strength.
  • Edelgard: The Church, in an attempt to control Fodlan, have been using their doctrine to deceive everyone.
  • Long ago, the empire was divided to create the Kingdom, and it seems the Kingdom being divided to give birth to the Alliance was them as well.
  • The keeping of everyone in conflict and threatening the stability of the people was all for them to maintain their own power.
  • They are wolves in sheep’s clothing using the faith of people who sought the salvation of the Goddess, spending all their efforts raking in money and extravagance…
  • They are incapable of doing things like guiding Fodlan.  We must crush that religious faith.
  • Therefore, I have decided!
  • In the name of the Adrestian Emperor Edelgard von Hresvelg…
  • I hereby declare war on the Church of Seiros!
  • Seteh: This is an unbelievable situation…
  • Let us sort out the situation, Byleth.  After you all returned from the Holy Tomb…
  • The Adrestian Empire declared war against the Church of Seiros and the lords who support us.
  • 「Declared war?」
  • Seteth: When she made her father abdicate the throne, she herself became the Emperor.
  • It seems she is appealing to the masses that the Church of Seiros in particular is an evil upon this world.
  • We plan to discuss our response with the Archbishop as soon as the knights doing the reconnaissance have returned.
  • Until then, watch over the students for me so that they don’t get shaken.
  • Edelgard: I will withdraw… for now.
  • Come, Hubert!
  • Rhea: To flee is futile, wicked girl. The Church of Seiros will raise its entire army against you, until you have been captured and punished!
  • You have defiled the Holy Tomb, dishonored the goddess, and humiliated your brethren.
  • That crime will never be erased, even if you burn in the eternal flames, and spill all of your blood into the goddess’s soil!
  • Rhea: Come, Professor. Let us return and decide upon our next course of action.
  • Seteth: Edelgard and Hubert have disappeared. They will surely return to the Empire.
  • The knights have been dispatched to search and investigate. If there is any movement, we will know
  • We cannot ignore the possibility that there will soon be open hostilities between us and the Imperial army.
  • 《If all students in the Black Eagles are lost, the following dialogue is omitted》
  • Seteth: When that happens, are you prepared to fight your own?
  • If you wish to return to the Empire, I will not stop you. That is your choice to make.
  • Ferdinand: If Edelgard is acting afoul, then we have no choice but to strike her down.
  • Caspar: It’s up to us to stop them! We have a war on our hands!
  • Linhardt: I have no interest in fighting, not even for her. And yet–
  • Bernadetta: How are we supposed to decide just like that?
  • Dorothea: Edie, Hubie, I’m sorry about this, but… I’m siding with the professor.
  • Petra: Her doings are wrong. It is our duty to make everything right.
  • Seteth: I am sure you all have much on your mind.
  • I encourage you to confer with your professor and make a decision. You have until the fighting commences.
  • Professor, I am depending on your strength for the safety of Fódlan.
  • Edelgard: The leaders of the church have misused its creed to fulfill their true desire – to rule the world. They have fooled the people of Fódlan.
  • Long ago, they divided the Empire to create a Kingdom, and then, divided that Kingdom to create an Alliance.
  • They did all of this to make the masses bicker amongst themselves. They caused instability in order to reinforce their own authority.
  • They gathered gold and lived in extravagance. How? By preying on the devotion of those who wished for the goddess’s salvation!
  • Those corrupt hypocrites cannot lead Fódlan to true peace! Their foul belief system must be torn asunder so that true wisdom may finally prevail!
  • And so, I have decided–
  • by order of the Adrestian Emperor, Edelgard von Hresvelg–
  • the Empire hereby declares war on the Church of Seiros!
  • Seteh: I cannot believe it…
  • I cannot believe it… Let us recount the situation as it stands, Professor. After you returned from the Holy Tomb…
  • the Adrestian Empire declared war upon the Church of Seiros, as well as our allies.
  • 「Declared war?」
  • Seteth: Edelgard demanded her own father relinquish the throne, and then assumed the position of emperor.
  • She has deemed the Church of Seiros to be an evil of this world, and is calling upon the people of Fódlan to help her tear it down.
  • I must discuss our response to this declaration with the archbishop after the knights return from their investigation.
  • Until then, watch over the students. See that they remain calm.

Opening

  • 月明かりのさやけさを共に感じながら、人は一年の終わりを思い偲ぶ。
  • 別れを惜しみ、出会いに胸を膨らませ、それぞれの道を歩いてゆく。
  • 徐々に濃くなっていく春の気配をよそに、空にはただ孤月が浮かんでいる。
  • 何かを象徴するように……
  • While taking in the bright purity of the moonlight, the people reminisce the ending of the year.
  • They grieve partings, hope[2]胸を膨らます (literally to inflate one’s chest) means to have high expectations that something good will happen. for new encounters, and then each person goes off on their respective paths.
  • Gradually, despite the strengthening signs of spring, there is only a lone moon floating in the sky.
  • As if to symbolize something…
  • Together, the people of Fodlan relish the beauty of the brilliant moon overhead as another year ends.
  • They recall sad partings and new acquaintances alike, but each person must still walk their chosen path alone.
  • With each day, the presence of spring grows stronger and yet a lone moon still haunts the sky.
  • A silent reminder, perhaps, of some inescapable truth…

Event: 帝国軍起つ (The Imperial Army Rises)

  • レア: アドラステア帝国がこのような暴挙に
    出るとは……実に忌々しき事態です。
  • セテス: エーデルガルトの邪心を見抜けなかったのは
    痛恨の失態でした……。
  • 「本当に邪心なのか？」
  • セテス: 己が野心のために得体の知れぬ輩と共謀し、
    あろうことか聖墓までも穢したのだぞ。
  • これを邪心と言わずして何と言うのだ！
  • 「彼女の目的は？」
  • セテス: 言わずもがな、フォドラ全土の征服だろう。
  • そのために得体の知れぬ輩と共謀し、
    あろうことか聖墓まで穢したのだ！
  • セテス: もしや彼女は、セイロス教を否定することで
    自身を神格化しようとしているのか……？
  • レア: 神託をもって名づけられたアドラステアが
    女神に仇なすなど、断じて許されません！
  • 急ぎ、帝国の動きを止める手立てを……。
  • シャミア: 戻りました、レアさん。
  • レア: シャミア、ご苦労でした。
    帝国の動きは掴めましたか？
  • シャミア: ……帝国の本軍は、ガルグ＝マクを
    目指して進軍中です。
  • 途中、エーデルガルトの軍と合流し、
    あと２週ほどで到達するかと。
  • セテス: わずか２週間……！？
    いくら何でも早すぎる！
  • それでは防備を固めるので
    精一杯ではないか！
  • すぐに近隣の村々に通達を！
    ガルグ＝マクの住民にも避難を命じよ！
  • シャミア: はっ。
  • レア: ………………。
  • ……ベレト、お聞きなさい。
  • 敵がこの大修道院まで攻め寄せれば、
    私も戦場に立たざるを得ないでしょう。
  • 私に万一のことがあれば、その時は……
    あなたに、後事を託します。
  • 「なぜ自分が？」
    「後事、とは？」
  • レア: あなたはもう、自分が何者なのか
    気づき始めているはず。
  • いえ……記憶を取り戻しつつある、
    と言ったほうが適切でしょうか。
  • 元々、私はあなたの代理に過ぎぬ存在。
    あなたが、フォドラの民を導くのです。
  • セテス: ………………。
  • レア、すべて打ち明けてくれ。
    頼む。
  • レア: ………………。
  • セテス: あの者は……神祖なのか？
  • レア: あの者は……彼女の器。
    体の内に神祖の力を宿した者……。
  • やがて器は一つになり、
    彼女が……神祖が地上へと戻られる。
  • セテス: やはり君は禁忌を……！
    だが……後戻りは、できないか……。
  • レア: あなたにも、あの子を……
    いいえ、彼女を、助けてほしい。
  • 神祖が再び地上を統べるその瞬間を、
    私は待ち望んでいるのです……。
  • 《主人公とセテス、レア支援C/外伝「海の見える場所」クリア済》
  • セテス: ……わかった。
    今は君の言葉を信じよう。
  • フレン: レア様、お兄様！
    わたくしもあの方をお助けします。
  • セテス: フレン、聞いていたのか……！
    ああ、そうだな。
  • あの者は、お前の命の恩人で……そして、
    我らが同胞でもあるかもしれないのだから。
  • レア: 感謝します、セテス、フレン。
  • 神祖に連なる者として、
    その使命を共に果たしましょう。
  • 《条件を満たさない時》
  • セテス: ……やはり私にはできない。
    禁忌を犯すことなど……。
  • レア: そうですか……残念です……。
  • Rhea: That the Adrestian Empire has resorted to this kind of violence… It truly is a despicable situation.
  • Seteth: Not seeing the evil within Edelgard’s heart was a regretful mistake…
  • 「Is her heart truly evil?」
  • Seteth: She colluded with an unknown party to further her own ambitions and defiled the holy tomb, of all things.
  • If that isn’t evil in her heart, what is?!
  • 「What is her goal?」
  • Seteth: It goes without saying, but it is the conquest of the entire land of Fodlan.
  • In order to do that, she colluded with an unknown party defiled the holy tomb, of all things!
  • Seteth: Perhaps by disavowing the Church of Seiros, she is attempting to deify herself…?
  • Rhea: For Adrestia, who was named after an oracle, to do such things like being hostile to the Goddess, absolutely cannot be forgiven!
  • Hurry, to find a way to stop the movements of the Empire…
  • Shamir: I have returned, Rhea-san.
  • Rhea: Good work, Shamir.  Have you grasped the Empire’s movements?
  • Shamir: …The Empire’s main force is currently marching towards Garreg Mach.
  • I believe they will reach and merge with Edelgard’s forces en route in about two weeks.
  • Seteth: In just two weeks…?! That’s too soon to do anything!
  • In that case, isn’t strengthening our defenses the best we can do?!
  • Notify the neighboring villages immediately! Order the residents of Garreg Mach to evacuate!
  • Shamir: Yes, sir.
  • Rhea: …
  • …Byleth, listen well.
  • Should the enemy close in on this monastery,  I will also have no choice but to stand on the battlefield.
  • In something were to happen to me, then… I entrust future affairs[3]Specifically, affairs after death. to you.
  • 「Why me?」
    「What do you mean, future affairs?」
  • Rhea: You must have already begun to realize who you are.
  • No… I’m sure it’s more appropriate to say that you in the process of regaining your memories?
  • From the start, my existence has been nothing more than a substitute for you.  You are the one who will guide the people of Fodlan.
  • Seteth: …
  • Rhea, please disclose everything to me.  I beg of you.
  • Rhea: …
  • Seteth: Is that one… the divine ancestor?
  • Rhea: That one is… her vessel. One who possesses the power of the divine ancestor within their body…
  • Eventually the vessel will be one with her and then she… our divine ancestor will be returned to this world.
  • Seteth: So you did the taboo after all…!  But… we can’t turn back, can we…?
  • Rhea: I want you to also help that child…  No, rather help her.[4]That child refers to Byleth, and “her” refers to Sothis.
  • That is what I have been waiting for, the moment the divine ancestor rules over this world once again…
  • 《Seteth, Rhea C Support and Cleared Paralogue「An Ocean View」》
  • Seteth: …Understood. I shall trust in your word now.
  • Flayn: Rhea-sama, big brother! I will also help that person.
  • Seteth: Flayn, you were listening…?! Ah, that’s right.
  • Since that person is the one that saved your life…  And perhaps they may be one of us.
  • Rhea: You have my gratitude, Seteth, Flayn.
  • As ones linked[5]連なる means “to be an extension of”, and also means “related to”. to the divine ancestor, let us fulfill that mission together.
  • 《Conditions not met》
  • Seteth: …Even so, I cannot.  It would be akin to committing a taboo…
  • Rhea: Is that so… That is a shame…
  • Rhea: Unforgivable! I cannot believe that the Adrestian Empire would embark on such a violent course of action.
  • Seteth: The fault is my own. I failed to see the wickedness within Edelgard’s heart.
  • 「Is she wicked?」
  • Seteth: She plotted with ill-meaning strangers to achieve her own ambitions and defiled the Holy Tomb.
  • If that is not wicked, what is?
  • 「What is her objective?」
  • Seteth: There is no question on that front. She clearly wishes to conquer all of Fodlan.
  • And in order to achieve her own selfish ambitions, she plotted with ill-meaning strangers and defiled the Holy Tomb.
  • Seteth: Or perhaps her ambitions are even grander than we know. Perhaps she is planning to make herself a false deity by demonizing the Church of Seiros…
  • Rhea: Adrestia received its very name through a divine oracle. To injure the goddess is a sin most foul that shall not be forgiven nor forgotten.
  • We must stop the Empire…and quickly.
  • Shamir: I have returned, Rhea.
  • Rhea: Welcome back, Shamir. Were you able to discern the Empire’s movements?
  • Shamir: Their main troops are marching towards Garreg Mach.
  • It is said that they will join forces with Edelgard’s army and arrive within two weeks.
  • Seteth: Two weeks? That is not enough time!
  • It will require all of our efforts just to prepare our defenses before then.
  • We must send notice to all surrounding villages at once. We must order the residents of Garreg Mach to flee for their lives.
  • Shamir: It will be done.
  • Rhea: …
  • Professor…listen closely.
  • If our enemy invades the monastery, I will have no choice but to stand upon the battlefield.
  • If something happens to me…I am entrusting my sacred duties to you.
  • 「Why me?」
    「Sacred duties?」
  • Rhea: You must have guessed it by now. The truth of who you are.
  • Or perhaps I should say, your lost memories are surely beginning to return.
  • I have acted all these long years as a mere proxy for you. But the duty is yours and yours alone. Only you can lead the people of Fodlan.
  • Seteth: …
  • Rhea, please. You must tell me all that you know. I beg of you.
  • Rhea: …
  • Seteth: That one…is the progenitor god. Am I correct?
  • Rhea: In a sense. Our dear professor is…a vessel. One who carries the power of the progenitor god within.
  • In time, the vessel will become one with the power contained within, and the progenitor god shall return to this world.
  • Seteth: I see. I trust that you are aware of the questionable nature of this experiment? But I suppose there is no turning back…
  • Rhea: I ask that you help our friend…and in doing so, help her.
  • I am waiting and hoping for the moment when our creator rules this wayward land once more.
  • 《Seteth, Rhea C Support and Cleared Paralogue「An Ocean View」》
  • Seteth: I understand. As ever, I will take you at your word.
  • Flayn: Lady Rhea, Brother, I will do my part as well!
  • Seteth: Flayn! Were you eavesdropping? Regardless, I am glad to hear it.
  • You owe your life to the professor, after all. And in the end, they may prove to be our brethren.
  • Rhea: You have my gratitude, Seteth. And you as well, Flayn.
  • As followers of the progenitor god, it is up to us to see our mission through.
  • 《Conditions not met》
  • Seteth: I am sorry, but I cannot do this. I am not certain it is just…
  • Rhea: I see. That is a shame.

Event: 戦乱の幕開け・黒鷲の学級 (The Opening Act of War – Black Eagles)

  • アロイス: 皆、聞け！
    すでに帝国軍は目前まで迫っている！
  • 戦える者は武器を取れ！
    他の者は急ぎ避難せよ！
  • 我らには主の加護がある！
    恐れることはない、勝利を信じるのだ！
  • カトリーヌ: ベレト、準備はできてるか？
  • 「すぐに準備する」
  • カトリーヌ: そうしてくれ。わかってるとは思うけど、
    今の状況は最悪だ。
  • 近隣諸侯から援軍は得てるものの、
    敵は大軍、どう考えても分が悪い。
  • しかも向こうの大将はエーデルガルトだ。
    彼女の非凡さはよく知ってるだろ？
  • リンハルト: もちろん知ってますよ。
    でも今更、逃げられませんしねえ。
  • ジタバタしたって疲れるだけ……
    そんな睨まないでくださいって。
  • フェルディナント: ……私の父は、宰相を罷免され、
    今も帝都で軟禁されているという。
  • 私は、父の跡継ぎとして……
    彼女を止めねばならないのだ！
  • カスパル: あいつのやり方は間違ってる。
    俺たちがそれをわからせてやらねえとな！
  • ベルナデッタ: あの人に従わないって決めたから……
    でも逃げ……逃げません！！
  • ドロテア: エーデルちゃんはきっと本気で来ますよ。
    だから私たちも本気で応えないと、ねえ。
  • ペトラ: 彼女、強い人、です。しかし……
    わたしたち、強い……負けません！
  • フレン: わたくしも……皆さんと一緒に
    精一杯戦いますわ！
  • カトリーヌ: はは、みんな度胸が据わってて助かるよ。
  • もう生徒だ何だ言ってられないからな……
    アンタらも戦力として扱う。頼んだぞ。
  • ベレト、
    もちろん指揮はアンタに任せるさ。
  • 「わかっている」
    「生徒は自分が守る」
  • カトリーヌ: ま、言うまでもないか。
    アンタはこいつらの先生だもんな。
  • じゃ、生きてたらまた会おう。
    武運を祈る！
  • Alois: Everyone, listen up! The Imperial army is already closing in on us!
  • All who can fight, take up weapons! All others, hurry up and evacuate!
  • We have the blessing of the Lord with us!  There is nothing to fear, believe in victory!
  • Catherine: Byleth, are you ready?
  • 「I will get ready soon.」
  • Catherine: Please do that for me. I think you already know, but things are the worst right now.
  • We have received reinforcements from the neighboring lords, but the enemy is a large army and we’re at a disadvantage no matter how you look at it.
  • Furthermore, the general on the other side is Edelgard.  I’m sure you’re aware of the degree of her extraordinarity?
  • Linhardt: Of course we know.  Besides, at this point in time, we can’t run away anyways, can we?
  • Making a fuss would just tire us out… And, please stop staring at me like that.
  • Ferdinand: …They say that my father has been dismissed from his position as prime minister and is also now under house arrest in the Imperial capital.
  • As the successor to my father… I must stop her!
  • Casper: The way they’re doing things is wrong. We gotta make ’em understand that, ya know!
  • Bernadetta: I’ve decided I won’t obey that person… But I…  I won’t run away either!
  • Dorothea: Edel-chan will surely come at us for real.  That’s why we also have to respond for real, right?
  • Petra: She, is strong person.  However… We are strong… We will not lose!
  • Flayn: Me too… I’ll fight together with everyone with all of my might!
  • Catherine: Haha,  it really helps me out to see everyone with nerves of steel.
  • I can no longer say that you are students and whatnot, eh…? I will treat you all as capable fighting power as well.  I’m counting on you.
  • And Byleth, I’m leaving the commanding to you, of course.
  • 「Understood.」
    「I will protect the students.」
  • Catherine: Well, I don’t need to tell you that, do I? You are their teacher after all.
  • Alright then, let’s see each other again if we survive.  Godspeed![6]Praying for good fortune in war, specfically.
  • Alois: Listen up, everyone! The Imperial army is upon us.
  • If you can fight, pick up a weapon! Everyone else, hurry up and evacuate!
  • We have the goddess’s protection on our side. We have nothing to fear. Victory will be ours!
  • Catherine: Professor, are you ready?
  • 「Almost.」
  • Catherine: Well, hurry up. I don’t need to tell you that the situation is dire.
  • We have some support troops from the local nobles, but the army we’re facing is immense. No matter how you look at it, we’re at a disadvantage.
  •  To make matters worse, the enemy is being led by Edelgard. Do not underestimate how extraordinary her abilities are.
  • Linhardt: Of course we know, but we can’t let her get away.
  • Also, please cease your unwarranted glaring. We don’t deserve your judgement.
  • Ferdinand: My father was removed from his role as prime minister and is still under house arrest in the Imperial capital.
  • As his successor…it is my duty to stop her!
  • Casper: The way she’s going about all of this is wrong. It’s up to us to help her realize that!
  • Bernadetta: I won’t be following her, but…l won’t run away either!
  • Dorothea: Edie’s going to come at us with all she’s got. And that’s a lot. That means we need to fight her with all of our might too.
  • Petra: She is one who has strength, that has certainty. But we have strength also. We will not be losing!
  • Flayn: I shall fight with all that I have. It is an honor to fight alongside each of you!
  • Catherine: You students really have guts, don’t you?
  • Though, I suppose I can’t call you students anymore. You’re now part of our order. You have our support and our gratitude.
  • Professor, I’m counting on you. Go ahead and take the lead.
  • 「Leave it to me.」
    「I’ll protect the students.」
  • Catherine: These kids…they look up to you. I guess that goes without saying. Just look in their eyes and you can see it.
  • If we all make it through this, let’s meet again. Good luck out there!

Battle: ガルグ＝マクの戦い (The Battle of Garreg Mach)

  • 戦闘開始時
  • セイロス騎士: 報告！　敵が城郭内に侵入！
    防衛線を突破されそうです！！
  • セテス: 騎士団、生徒諸君、全兵士に告ぐ！
    援軍到着まで大司教と防衛線を死守せよ！

  • Turn 2

  • Byleth vs Death Knight
  • Death Knight: This battlefield is too chaotic… for us to kill each other upon…
  • Death Knight Defeated
  • Death Knight: The time is not right… I will wait for the next opportunity…

↑2 胸を膨らます (literally to inflate one’s chest) means to have high expectations that something good will happen.
↑3 Specifically, affairs after death.
↑4 That child refers to Byleth, and “her” refers to Sothis.
↑5 連なる means “to be an extension of”, and also means “related to”.
↑6 Praying for good fortune in war, specfically.
