DynasmonTaking an army with you is proof that you have no confidence in your own swordsmanship!

LordKnightmonHow many times must I tell you?! The Knight Corps help enhance my beauty.

DynasmonAnother excuse. While we were waiting at the rendezvous point, your corps was glitching!

DynasmonHow could you fall behind in swordsmanship to the knights of your own corps?! Pathetic.

LordKnightmonThat is not true! I simply accepted their offer! I did not ask for their help!

LordKnightmonI could've handled it on my own without a problem! Do not underestimate me!

DynasmonYou are all talk. I bet you would have lost if it were not for everyone's help.

LordKnightmonH-How dare you?!

PlayerCalm down, already...

PlayerWhy are you fighting?

Player[I should leave them alone.]

LordKnightmonHow can I calm down?! I haven't felt so insulted in a very long time.

LordKnightmonIt's Dynasmon's fault for saying my swordsmanship is lacking!

LordKnightmonHow unbearable. This conversation is not over yet!

LordKnightmon...Hm? Oh, it's you again.

LordKnightmonYou've witnessed my beautiful exploits, haven't you?

DynasmonPerhaps you mean "witnessed your disgrace."

LordKnightmonI've had it with you! ...Very well. I'll prove to you what I am capable of.

DynasmonIs that so? And how are you going to do that?

LordKnightmonThere is an opponent who will more than prove my strength. Grademon, a renowned knight.

LordKnightmonCould you bring Grademon to me? I am not sure of its location, however...

LordKnightmonSince you have been all over the world, I am sure you will be able to find Grademon!

LordKnightmonGrademon would be the perfect opponent! Oh, where can I go to cross swords with it?

PlayerI know Grademon's location.

PlayerAre you sure you can win?

PlayerMaybe I should help out again...

LordKnightmonWonderful! So you know where Grademon is! Now I can prove my strength and beauty!

LordKnightmonI am not going there to fight. I am going to win. Do you understand?

LordKnightmonI've decided to fight on my own. I no longer need a corps. I'll win on my own strength!

LordKnightmon...I see. So Grademon is at the Paradise Colosseum? Thank you for telling me!

LordKnightmonAll right, then. I'll go right away and challenge Grademon to a duel.

DynasmonAre you sure about going alone? What can you possibly do with your waning swordsmanship?

DynasmonWhy not simply admit your weakness and get help before you get seriously injured?

LordKnightmonDynasmon, you can stay here and wait for the results... The news of my victory, that is!

DynasmonHey, wait...

LordKnightmonI must go now! Farewell!

Dynasmon...Too late. LordKnightmon is gone.

DynasmonYou have been witnessing all of this. I would like to hear your honest opinion...

DynasmonWas I too hard on LordKnightmon?

PlayerYeah, maybe.

PlayerDo you regret it?

PlayerIf you're worried, you should go after it.

DynasmonI see... I knew I had gone a little overboard...

DynasmonWell, a little... Very slightly.

DynasmonNo... I cannot do that. It would make things even more complicated.

DynasmonI simply wanted to stop this recklessness, but apparently I ended up inflaming the situation instead.

DynasmonAnyway, I'm worried that this whole affair ends in veritable disaster.

DynasmonI am sorry to ask, but could you go after them? Someone needs to help them keep a cool head.

LordKnightmonWhy not, Grademon? Why won't you fight me?!

GrademonI have no reason to point my sword at you.

LordKnightmonI, LordKnightmon, am challenging you to a duel. What if I call it... a practice match?

GrademonI cannot fight someone in such a high position. There is more than you to consider.

PlayerNot fighting is chivalry, too.

PlayerWhy not just fight and get it over with?

PlayerIs it actually a bit of a hassle?

GrademonAh, it is you. I am glad you understand true chivalry.

GrademonAh, it is you. Well, I heard LordKnightmon gives the opponent a hard time, win or lose.

GrademonWell, rumor has it that LordKnightmon gives the opponent a hard time afterward.

LordKnightmonArgh. If it is chivalry not to fight, then I can't force you to do so. But still...

LordKnightmonWell... How do you think this should be settled?

PlayerI've defeated Grademon before.

PlayerYou might as well just give up.

PlayerWhy not compete in a game?

LordKnightmonWhat?! Tell me more about that!

LordKnightmonNo, I can't back down! If not fighting is Grademon's chivalry, not giving up is mine!

LordKnightmonIndeed, it's the age of e-sports. Competing with technology sounds fine... but not now!

LordKnightmonNow, I want our sword skills to compete! But I will eventually fight via e-sports as well!

LordKnightmon...What? So you've fought with Grademon before and won?

LordKnightmonGrademon! Is that true?

GrademonIndeed.

LordKnightmonIf that's the case, then why can't you...? No. I must think differently here.

LordKnightmonI must respect your values, Grademon. Forcing you to fight would not be chivalrous.

GrademonI am glad you understand.

LordKnightmonSo! I will fight YOU instead!

LordKnightmonYou have won against Grademon. That means if I defeat you, I have also defeated Grademon!

GrademonI did not see that coming... I apologize...

LordKnightmonI'm as ready as can be. You, too, should go prepare yourself for this challenge!

LordKnightmonArgh. I have lost! You were strong. But, then again, Grademon has also lost to you.

LordKnightmonIf that's the case, then we still don't know who is stronger—Grademon or I.

LordKnightmonIn your opinion, which was the stronger of the two?

PlayerYou, LordKnightmon.

PlayerGrademon.

PlayerYou were both strong.

LordKnightmonIs that so? I knew it! It must be true if you say so.

LordKnightmonOof... I see... Grademon was... stronger...

LordKnightmonIs that kindness, or honesty? If it is your chivalry to honor both, I will ask no more.

LordKnightmonThanks to you, I'm satisfied with the result. I appreciate it.

LordKnightmonI shall return to the rendezvous point, then. Don't worry. I'll make peace with Dynasmon, too.

LordKnightmonWell, then, I will see you again.

DynasmonLend me your ear. You must not tell anyone that you heard this from me. Understood?

DynasmonGrademon is at the Paradise Colosseum. I heard he is competing in a tournament.

DynasmonIt cannot fight LordKnightmon as long as it wins. Someone must defeat it. You, perhaps?

DynasmonGrademon is at the Paradise Colosseum. I heard he is competing in a tournament.

DynasmonAgain, do not tell anyone I told you. Let LordKnightmon get this out of its system.
