一部1月散策・守護の節

Sothis

Sothis: If you must weep, then weep. I shall be here for you.

Choice 1: Thank you.

Sothis: Well, it would be ridiculous not to feel anything after something like that. Go on and let it out. I am here. (Blackout)

Choice 2: That won't be necessary.

Sothis: Are you already past it? You are unflappable. I will give you that much. In that case, I will remain silently supportive. You are right that we must keep moving ever onward.

Edelgard

Black Eagles route

I'm so happy to see you, my teacher...

Other routes

How terrible...

Hubert

Never been much for condolences...

Black Eagles route

Hubert: I've never been much for condolences. How about a little logic, instead? The knights have spread out around Garreg Mach in search of Jeralt's murderers. Thus, the monastery's fighting strength is, for the moment at least, depleted. Perhaps that was the enemy's real objective. We should be prepared for further confrontation.

Other routes

Hubert: I've never been much for condolences.

Ferdinand and Petra

Ferdinand: It's just a thought.

Petra: This is an impossible thing...

Petra: Professor, please lend us your ears. Ferdinand is saying impossible things.

Ferdinand: I do not see what is impossible about it. All I said was that if you want to go back to Brigid, you probably can. You are...the Empire's guest, so to speak. They cannot afford for something bad to happen to you. There would be a diplomatic incident. Someone close to us has turned up dead, so one could argue that you're not safe here anymore.

Petra: You were already told! I am learning here, from the academy. What are you thinking, Professor?

Choice 1: You do not have to leave if you do not wish it. (Relationship with Petra up)

Choice 2: You may return home if you please. (Relationship with Ferdinand up)

Petra: I am not returning to home until I have grabbed my goal! I will not be listening to the words of Ferdinand.

Ferdinand: No, look, I did not mean to pressure you. Apologies for the misunderstanding.

Linhardt

I wonder if there's anything useful...

Linhardt: I slipped quietly into the vault and rummaged about, looking for anything we might find useful. There is a group of people who want to kill us, after all. What? This is no time for asking permission. I learned long ago that one can ask permission or forgiveness. It is rarely useful to request the former. Still, it appears that the knights have already taken everything useful. There were Crest-related objects I thought might be worth studying, so– There you go again with that stern look. Of course I'll put them back when I'm done. Assuming they bear no additional use.

Caspar

I gotta get stronger!

Caspar: I'm not even close to being strong enough. I mean, Jeralt was so much stronger than me, but even he... That's enough. I can't dwell on the past. There's no way to know what my future holds but I do know one thing. Whatever happens, I have to make my own way in this world. I have to keep pushing so I can grow even stronger!

Bernadetta

Um... Professor?

Bernadetta: Professor? I, um, I brought some flowers for Jeralt.

Choice 1: Thank you. (Relationship with Bernadetta up)

Bernadetta: It's the least I can do. Sometimes I feel like all I do is run away...

Choice 2: You're out of your room...

Bernadetta: Hey! Sometimes I go out for, uh...walks...

Bernadetta: Anyway, I'll go lay them out.

Dorothea

Sir Jeralt must have...

Dorothea: I've sung lyrics lamenting death many times on stage... But when something like this happens in real life... I'm lost. I don't know what to say. But I do know this much... Sir Jeralt must have been very proud to have you as his child.

Dimitri

Blue Lions route

Your enemies are my enemies.

Dimitri: Professor! Welcome back... I was... We all were... (sighs) You've been on our minds. Know that your enemies are my enemies. I will do all I can to help you find justice. There is no one else I can... My strength is yours alone. I will fight as you command... I will kill anyone should you ask it of me.

Other routes

I haven't the words...

Dimitri: I'm so sorry about what happened to Jeralt... No...of course my sorrow is nothing compared to yours. The knights are even now searching for our enemies' whereabouts. They are to report back the moment they find something. If you desire revenge, Professor...you can count me in.

Dedue

It is a shame...

Dedue: It is a shame what happened to Jeralt. I am sorry. There are no words. Leave some flowers on his grave for me.

Felix and Sylvain

Felix: What do you think?

Sylvain: Dark expressions don't suit you, Professor.

やっぱ先生に暗い顔は似合いませんよ。ひとまず元気になったみたいで安心だ。

Sylvain: Dark expressions don't suit you, Professor. But I'm... Well, I'm glad to see you out in the world again.

It seems this month will be a quiet one around here. There aren't many knights around to liven things up.

Choice 1: It would be a shame if we were invaded. (Relationship with Felix up)

Felix: I agree. We can send some knights after our enemies, but so many? It makes the church seem reckless.

Choice 2: You're worrying too much.

Sylvain: Hopefully the knights finish their business and hurry back. I wouldn't mind having a few extra lances around.

Ashe

Why would they do this?

Ashe: Not just Tomas, but Monica too. We can't be sure who to trust anymore, can we? Who are these people, really? What do they want?

Mercedes and Annette

Mercedes: I was so worried!

Annette: Have some sweets!

Mercedes: I'm so glad you're OK, Professor. I was so worried!

Annette: Oh, Professor! You must be starving. Mercie and I made some sweets for you. We were thinking that if you were to eat something sweet, it might help you feel better.

Choice 1: Thank you for the thought. (Relationship with Mercedes up)

Mercedes: Baking sweets is my specialty. I'm sure they'll do the trick.

Choice 2: I'm fine. (Relationship with Annette up)

Annette: Well, of course you are! And if you have sweets you'll be even more fine.

Ingrid

I'm so sorry...

Ingrid: I'm so sorry... I never quite know what to say at times like these... Just...don't push yourself too hard too soon. It's OK to allow yourself to be sad right now. Losing someone dear to you... Well, each loss is unique, but it's a feeling I know very well. That said... Professor, I...

Claude

Golden Deer route

I see you're on the mend…

Claude: Hi, Teach. I see the storm in your eyes has passed… You're looking much better. I've been reading Jeralt's diary. The baby he mentions… That's you, isn't it? I can't understand about half of what's written on here… But Jeralt really cherished you. That much is clear.

Other routes

Don't forget, Teach…

Claude: I haven't lost a parent yet, so I can't even begin to understand how you must be feeling... But even while you're standing still, the world keeps on moving. I always find that oddly comforting.

Lorenz

Just give the word...

Lorenz: There is no one here who has not heard tales of Jeralt's valor. We have suffered a most dear loss. I do not know what the enemy's aim was, but I do know this–after what they have done, we cannot suffer them to live. If there is anything I can do to ensure that justice is brought swiftly, you need only give the word.

Raphael

When things get tough...

Raphael: You've gotta keep yourself active during tough times, Professor. Even if it seems impossible. That's how I got through when I lost my parents. If you need help with anything, just come and see me. Eating and training are my specialties.

Ignatz

I'm...scared.

Ignatz: I'm scared. I feel that I don't understand the world. How could something like that happen to Jeralt? He was so strong.

Choice 1: Even though you're scared, push through. (Relationship with Ignatz up)

Ignatz: You're inspiring, Professor. I"ll do my best.

Choice 2: What happens, happens.

Ignatz: I suppose, but... Please, take care, Professor! We can't afford to lose you too.

Prudence is the watchword.

Choice 1: But if we don't defeat them…

Choice 2: We should be careful. (Relationship with Lysithea up)

Marianne and Hilda

Golden Deer

Choice 1: Just ignore it. (Relationship with Marianne up)

Marianne: Of course. Thank you, Professor.

Choice 2: We'll defeat the bad guys. We'll show them. (Relationship with Hilda up)

Hilda: That would be the quickest way to resolve this. Come on Marianne, let's give it our all.

Marianne

Other routes

Dear Goddess…

Marianne: I'll say a prayer for Jeralt's soul. There's not much else I can do…

Hilda

Other routes

I'm worried.

Hilda: Professor, it seems like you're holding up OK, but… I'm worried about Leonie. She really loved Jeralt. I hope she can bounce back…

Leonie

How did this happen?

Leonie: Captain Jeralt's gone. He's gone. And we'd only just reunited... I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sure this is even harder on you. But I just can't– I can't believe...

Rhea

How are you holding up?

Rhea: Professor... How are you holding up? I know how heavily grief weighs upon one's heart... I lost my mother some time ago. It was... Forgive me my moment of weakness. Even all these years later, I cannot recall that time without feeling the pain as if it were brand new. Just know that I am praying for your mind and your heart to find peace.

Seteth

First Tomas, and now Monica...

Seteth: First Tomas, and now Monica. I do have a theory, though I admit it is nothing more than speculation. Both Tomas and Monica have each gone missing at one time or another. It was reported that when Monica returned from her disappearance, she began to act like a completely different person. As if, perhaps, the real Monica had been killed and replaced by an impostor. Thinking of it like that, it is possible that this Solon had been impersonating Tomas for some time. How they managed such a convincing change of appearance, though, I still do not understand.

Flayn

If there's anything I can do...

Flayn: You have lost your father... Now more than ever do I understand how very lucky I am that you were able to save me. Professor, I deeply appreciate what you have done. Thank you. If there is anything at all I can do in return, please tell me, OK?

Hanneman

I know you lost someone dear...

Hanneman: You've lost someone very dear to you... I'm so... You have my sympathy. Manuela and I can take on some of your workload this month. We can't do all the teaching, but at least we can lighten the load for you. I've always seen strength in your eyes. I know you'll recover. You're a very strong person.

Manuela

What was that weapon?

Manuela: I have something rather uncomfortable to discuss. It's about the weapon that killed Jeralt. Will you listen?

Choice 1: I'll listen. (Relationship with Manuela up)

Manuela: It was a dagger, but I know enough to know it wasn't an ordinary dagger. It wasn't made of iron or steel because... Well, because whatever it was, the wound it left wasn't normal. Who could make a blade like that, do you figure?

Choice 2: I won't listen.

Manuela: I see... That's probably for the best.

If spoken to a second time

Manuela: I wonder who they were...

Cyril

Professor...

Cyril: Oh Goddess, hear my prayer. Please receive this beloved person. When the cold rain washes the body, when the bird and wolf announce the dawn... Receive them into your blue blood. Receive them into a twinkling star. That's a mourning scripture from the Church of Seiros. Lady Rhea taught it to me. I pray that Jeralt is happy in the next world.

Anna

What a loss...

Anna: I heard Jeralt passed away... My deepest condolences. I knew him long before I ever even met you... He was always so much fun to be around... It's such a loss...

Gatekeeper

Sir Jeralt...

Gatekeeper: Professor... Thank you for all you have done for us. Nothing to report today. (sobs)

Student in Blue Lions Classroom

I'm worried...

Student: Um, Professor? Do you think we'll still be able to graduate? If dangerous things keep happening around here, who even knows... I'm worried. I hope that all the students and professors will be there to celebrate at the graduation ceremony...

Student in the Black Eagles Classroom

I wasn't all that surprised.

Student: When I heard that Monica was with the enemy, I was surprised by how unsurprised I was. Something was just off about her. It's hard to explain. That said, whenever she had free time, she was always hanging around with Edelgard. I wonder if Edelgard is also... Oh, I'm sorry! Now I'm just being paranoid. Please ignore me.

Soldier in the Entrance Hall

Jeralt was quite a character.

Soldier: The other night, I...I had the honor of sharing a drink with Jeralt. He was pretty tactless, honestly. He could be blunt at times. But... He always looked like such a proud, happy father whenever he spoke of you.

Soldier in the Knights' Hall

Isn't it awful?

Soldier: I trained with Jeralt just the other day... Why... Why did he have to go and die?! It's too awful! He didn't deserve it!

Priest in Library

Don't let your guard down.

Priest: First Tomas and now Monica... I am so sorry. The failing was clearly our own. We didn't notice the enemy's invasion, and now Jeralt... I...I apologize. There is nothing I can say to atone for our sins. Professor, please do not let your guard down even among the people of the monastery. There is no way to know where another enemy may be hiding...

Monk in Library

I just don't understand.

Monk: Monica von Ochs... There is nothing suspicious in her past that would suggest this change of character. Her transformation must have something to do with her disappearance last year... Sadly, that is the extent of my knowledge. I wonder who kidnapped her and why...

Explore: Abyss

Yuri

Must have been tough.

Yuri: Jeralt raised you, yeah? He was all you had... You must be feeling a lot right now. When a parent dies, it really leaves a mark. So feel what you need to, no matter how that looks. But know that your inner fire will keep you moving ahead through even the hardest times.

Balthus and Constance

Balthus: Get out there and get to it!

Constance: You have my condolences

Balthus: Hey pal. I see you're up and at 'em again, yeah? Good on ya. No use crying over the past and all.

Constance: Balthus, have some sensitivity! Who knows what the poor dear is going through right now?

Balthus: The ''poor dear'' can hear you, ya know. Talking about someone like they're not even there. How cold can you get?

Constance: Ah... A fair point. Please, Professor, forgive my indiscretion. You have my condolences.

Balthus: Remember, the first step to healing is a hefty dose of revenge. Get out there and get to it!

Hapi

Seems like you're having a hard time.

Hapi: Hey. It seems like you're having a hard time. Not that I can really understand what you're going through. I know this is painful, but don't lose hope for the future, OK? Someday, you'll be able to accept what's happened. And in the meantime, you have plenty of friends here to support you. Me included.

Abysskeeper

Maybe now isn't the time...

Abysskeeper: Hey, you. Listen up. I've got something to report. But maybe now isn't the time? You seem down. Got something on your mind? I hope you know I'm here for you, if you ever have your own stuff to report. That's what friends are for. Unless it's about money. In which case...I'm busy.

Hermit

I can't believe it...

Hermit: Captain Jeralt's been killed?! I can't believe it... From all I'd heard about the man... I thought he was indestructible. He was so strong. What could have possibly─Forgive me. I shouldn't speculate.

Resident

Whatever's about to happen...

Resident: This month feels different, doesn't it? Garreg Mach's all...tense. Like the whole place might explode. This is why I've kept to myself all these years. I don't wanna be anywhere near whatever's about to happen.

Quests

The Cream of the Crop (Cavalier in the Knights Hall)

Receiving the Quest

Cavalier: The Adrestian Empire's Imperial guard is looking for someone to train with. They're said to be the cream of the crop, but I'm certain you can hold your own.

Quest Completion

Cavalier: Professor, I know it was just a training exercise, but I can still hardly believe you defeated the Imperial guard. That was thrilling! They were so impressed, in fact, that they decided to support us here at the monastery.
