What a beautiful spring.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Makes me want to jump right in![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 2 |
|
126 |
It does look inviting. It would[XENO:n ]
certainly cool us down.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 3 |
|
126 |
Are you all right, Melia? It looks[XENO:n ]
as if the heat's getting to you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 4 |
|
126 |
[XENO:sel sel=・You may be correct./・Why should the heat affect me?! ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 5 |
|
126 |
Maybe you should take a rest.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 6 |
|
126 |
That may be in order. I believe[XENO:n ]
I am starting to...see things...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 7 |
|
126 |
That doesn't sound good![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Maybe the forest air doesn't[XENO:n ]
agree with you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's very humid here.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 8 |
|
126 |
Don't worry. I just need a minute[XENO:n ]
to compose myself.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 9 |
|
126 |
Well, if you say so.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Oh, I've got a great idea! Let's[XENO:n ]
take a dip, just you and me![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It'll cool us both down, and it[XENO:n ]
might even make you feel better.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 10 |
|
126 |
[XENO:sel sel=・Are you sure?!/・No, that's a silly idea. ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 11 |
|
126 |
Sure I'm sure![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]We won't get another chance like[XENO:n ]
this, and the water's crystal clear![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 12 |
|
126 |
But...I... Well...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 13 |
|
126 |
Didn't you used to go swimming[XENO:n ]
outdoors when you were a kid?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 14 |
|
126 |
No, never. Father would not have[XENO:n ]
allowed something like that.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 15 |
|
126 |
Then why not make up for lost[XENO:n ]
time? It's the perfect chance![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 16 |
|
126 |
You are right. Let's go[XENO:n ]
swimming, Sharla.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 17 |
|
126 |
[XENO:type type=think ][XENO:jaw jaw=off ]I hope Shulk doesn't see me...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 18 |
|
126 |
I will wait here, but feel free[XENO:n ]
to go in yourself.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 19 |
|
126 |
This is just a wild guess, but...[XENO:n ]
Melia, can you swim?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 20 |
|
126 |
That is not why I refuse![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Have you any reason to doubt[XENO:n ]
that I can swim?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 21 |
|
126 |
So it's just because you're[XENO:n ]
embarrassed, then?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 22 |
|
126 |
W-well...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 23 |
|
126 |
It's OK. No one's watching.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I even brought swimsuits for us![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 24 |
|
126 |
All right then...[XENO:n ]
If you think it's safe...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 25 |
|
126 |
Great! Let's go swimming, Melia![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]We'll both keep a look out[XENO:n ]
for Reyn and Shulk.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 26 |
|
126 |
W-wait, Sharla![XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I feel certain this isn't[XENO:n ]
going to end well...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 27 |
|
126 |
Don't get your knickers in a twist![XENO:n ]
I'm just worried about you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 28 |
|
126 |
It is not as if I am...seeing double[XENO:n ]
or anything...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 29 |
|
126 |
You don't have to put on such[XENO:n ]
a brave face all the time.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I'll bring you some water.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 30 |
|
126 |
That would be...nice.[XENO:n ]
Thank you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 31 |
|
126 |
It's nothing. You've earned it.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Just because I'm used to this heat[XENO:n ]
doesn't mean everyone is.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 32 |
|
126 |
[XENO:sel sel=・I doubt you are used to it./・How come you are used to it? ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 33 |
|
126 |
Think about it. I was born and[XENO:n ]
raised in Colony 6.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 34 |
|
126 |
I do not understand.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]How does that make you[XENO:n ]
accustomed to this heat?[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 35 |
|
126 |
Oh, that's right.[XENO:n ]
You wouldn't know.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Underneath Colony 6 is[XENO:n ]
a huge ether crystal mine.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]At the very deepest point, there's[XENO:n ]
an ether river. It's hotter than hot.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 36 |
|
126 |
An ether river? I have heard[XENO:n ]
of this phenomenon.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]When ether particles collide,[XENO:n ]
it causes a chain reaction.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]The heat produced by all those[XENO:n ]
reactions can be extraordinary.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I did not realise you lived[XENO:n ]
so close to such a place.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 37 |
|
126 |
Thinking back, the Central Pit[XENO:n ]
was far hotter than Makna.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I wish I could have shown you...[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 38 |
|
126 |
I may have had to decline[XENO:n ]
in any case.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I don't think I'd have lasted[XENO:n ]
a minute in there.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 39 |
|
126 |
Hehehe. Shame we'll never know![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 40 |
|
126 |
I'm from Colony 6, which is home[XENO:n ]
to a gigantic ether crystal mine.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]An ether river runs through[XENO:n ]
the very deepest point.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]It's scorching down there![XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 41 |
|

| 42 |
|
126 |
Looking back, this place is a cool[XENO:n ]
breeze next to the Central Pit.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]I wish I could have shown you.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 43 |
|
126 |
Perhaps you could show me some[XENO:n ]
of your colony's other sights.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]Ones that don't involve me[XENO:n ]
fainting from heat exhaustion.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 44 |
|
126 |
I'd love to, but most of them were[XENO:n ]
destroyed by the Mechon.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 45 |
|
126 |
That's awful.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 46 |
|
126 |
The colony was built on top[XENO:n ]
of the mine.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]And the mine's still there,[XENO:n ]
more or less.[XENO:wait wait=key ][System:PageBreak ]With any luck, we can rebuild our[XENO:n ]
home bigger and better than ever.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
| 47 |
|
126 |
I am sure you will, Sharla.[XENO:wait wait=key ][XENO:del del=this ] |
