5. Confirming the current area’s situation. No biological reactions detected. This seems to be the right place... what should we do?
6.  
7. Raabe
8. Hmm...
9.  
10. Raabe
11. Will someone appear again just like Noel, or is the element hidden somewhere...
12.  
13. Raabe
14. At the very least, I’m not sensing any of the elements nearby.
15.  
16. Raabe
17. Let’s look around a bit.
18.  
19.  
20.  
21. Hazama
22. All things considered, it’s nice to be in such an open space again.
23.  
24. Raabe
25. You’re being optimistic. This is hardly the sort of level you’d want to have so much open air. Imagine if you were to be hit with a gust of wind from this height. You’d find yourself plummeting to the ground within seconds.

27. Kazuma
28. .........
29.  
30. >Is something wrong?
31. Kazuma
32. Ah, no, not at all. I’m just feeling a bit nostalgic.
33.  
34. >It’s dangerous to be so absent-minded all the time, you know.
35. Kazuma
36. Ah, I’m sorry. I was just thinking a little.
37.  
38. Kazuma
39. Back in Ishana I was by myself a lot.
40.  
41. Kazuma
42. There was a place I’d often go to kill time that had a nice breeze just like this one...
43.  
44. Kazuma
45. This place reminds me of the time I spent there.
46.  
47. Hazama
48. Oh my, we must have something in common then.
49.  
50. Hazama
51. More specifically, I feel a strong connection with high places such as this one.
52.  
53. Kazuma
54. Saying that’s something we have in common is a bit much... I... don’t really think we’re all that similar.
55.  
56. Hazama
57. Oh dear, I’ve been shot down already.
58.  
59. Raabe
60. Perhaps the place Hazama remembers is just as shady as he is.
61.  
62. Hazama
63. Please don’t say such cruel things when I'm standing right here!
64.  
65. Hazama
66. I’d like it if you guys thought of me as a friend.
67.  
68. Hazama
69. Haah, this is so tragic. I just wanted to get along with Kazuma-san...
70.  
71. Kazuma
72. O-Oh... My apologies.
73.  
74. Ciel
75. Kazuma-san, your heart rate has been steadily increasing ever since we arrived. Are you feeling unwell?
76.  
77. Kazuma
78. It’s nothing like that...
79.  
80. Kazuma
81. I apologize for my sour attitude. I’m just not sure Hazama-san and I are a good fit for each other...
82.  
83. ???
84. You likely never will be.
85.  
86. [enter Rachel]
87.  
88. Ciel
89. Rachel-san.
90.  
91. Ciel
92. Could Rachel-san have the next key?
93.  
94. Raabe
95. She’s emitting a similarly strong reaction to the one Noel did. There’s no doubt.
96.  
97. Rachel
98. You two may seem very much alike, but in reality you are both quite different.
99.  
100. Rachel
101. It’s only natural that you would feel rejection and unease around him.
102.  
103. Kazuma
104. Hazama-san and I are alike? Um... I’m not sure I understand...
105.  
106. Rachel
107. I’ve just told you. You are as alike as you are different. No matter what you do, the two shall never intersect. You will never be the “same.”
108.  
109. Kazuma
110. You’re... What do you know about me?
111.  
112. Rachel
113. .........
114.  
115. Kazuma
116. Please tell me. You know something about me, don’t you?
117.  
118. Rachel
119. I’m afraid I can’t tell you.
120.  
121. Rachel
122. If you wish to seek the truth, aim for the innermost part of this world.
123.  
124. Kazuma
125. The innermost part of this world...? What will I learn if I go there?
126.  
127. Rachel
128. Who knows?
129.  
130. Rachel
131. No matter your decision, you will need a key to get there. I presume you lot would like one?
132.  
133. Hazama
134. Yes, we certainly would.
135.  
136. Hazama
137. I personally would rather not spend the rest of my life here.
138.  
139. Hazama
140. Rei-san, if I could ask for your cooperation?
141.  
142. Hazama
143. This person as well... I feel like I won’t be much use here either. Please don’t expect too terribly much of my capabilities.
144.  
145. >I’ll fight so we can get the key.
146. Kazuma
147. ...Yes. The innermost part of this world... I’m not sure what we’ll find there, but we need that key.
148. Kazuma
149. Let’s find the rest of the elements and get ourselves out of here.
150.  
151. >I’m not sure I want to get involved in this one...
152. Kazuma
153. I understand how you feel but... Right now we need to find those elemental keys.
154. Kazuma
155. It may not be pleasant but... let’s do our best. So we can escape this world.
156.  
157. Rachel
158. Very good. A wise decision. Take this key and head for the innermost part of this world.
159.  
160. Rachel
161. This way I won’t have to do anything myself. Especially when it comes to dealing with you.
162.  
163. Hazama
164. Hmm? Me?
165.  
166. Rachel
167. Oh dear me, of course. I was honestly thinking about turning you into a nice flambé. It would certainly be the perfect opportunity to do so.
168.  
169. Hazama
170. W-Wait, doesn’t this development feel umcomfortably familiar? Is it too much to ask for things to be amicable for once...?
171.  
172. Rachel
173. Oh, do shut up. It would take much too long to explain why I despise you.
174.  
175. Ciel
176. Rachel-san’s battle level is increasing!
177.  
178. Rachel
179. Come... Show me how unsightly you are when you attempt to dance.
