Tales of Zestiria the X

I knew you'd come.

Well, you're helpless without me.

You should talk, Mikleo.

Think so?

You've become strong, Sorey.

They sure work hard, those two.

The purification of the water is crucial for the recovery of Marlind.

#10 Alisha Diphda The purification of the water is crucial for the recovery of Marlind.

The purification of the water is crucial for the recovery of Marlind.

The water boy helps a lot too.

That's the foundation of their relationship.

The air seems more stagnant.

It's around here.

Let's begin.

Well, Mikleo?

Looks good. I'll free it shortly.

Oh Water, thou divine mother...

In accordance with way of all things, bring forth the power to purify!

Water flows continuously, so there's no end to this...

Yet, we have to do it... Right?

Leave it to you, Mikleo.

We've been at this for three days now.

Having you, the Water element, here is a huge help...

If I were alone, I wouldn't be at this point even after a month.

Fine.

I'll stick around for a month.

Oh, come on.

Shall we go above ground?

We were just saying how you're becoming more like a Shepherd.

Right, Edna?

Were we?

More than a Shepherd, Sorey is...

- Is what? - Master Shepherd!

Master Shepherd! Master Shepherd!

I'm exhausted.

You didn't do anything.

I tagged along. Be grateful.

Listen, you...

The name's Edna, boy.

Now, now...

Alisha went out of her way to find us this place to relax.

Rohan, how are you feeling?

I'm much better, thanks to you all.

I'm glad.

I'm the one who should have protected Marlind as its seraph...

Yet I ended up becoming tainted.

It couldn't be helped.

In this age of calamity, it's extremely difficult

for man to co-exist with the seraphim.

Can you tell me why this happened to Marlind?

I'm sorry, but I don't remember much.

I think, at first, it was very minor.

Like someone took a valued book without permission.

I can understand...

It was a small village, but I know what it's like to lose a village.

And it began with the triflest of things.

But suddenly, it spread!

I recognize you to be a Normin seraph.

Yes, I am.

Long ago, there were Normins in every place and they helped us out.

How could I have forgotten even that...

If there was one seraph to a town,

there was one of us in every village.

We were like the coordinators.

Is that so?

There used to be so many of us.

Now, there's just a smattering.

- Sorey, I brought dinner. - Thank you.

Do you mind if I join you?

Of course not!

Sorey, thank you.

The well water has been transformed!

According to Lailah, the rain seeps through the trees and soil...

To be truly cleansed, it takes over a year.

I guess creating a new environment is a big task.

Thank you, all of you Seraphim.

The people welcome your presence here.

I believe everyone hopes that we can live here together.

Please continue to help and support us.

How are things in town?

We won't be able to rest easy for a long time...

but people are smiling again.

Hope is very important, after all.

Is there anything else we can help with?

Are you okay? You seem tired.

- The same goes for you, Alisha. - Such a hard-working Shepherd.

- She's amazing too. - I'm fine. I really have stamina

And that's a fine trait, Sorey.

- But... - But?

No, it's nothing.

Hot!

Sorey...

The supplies for reconstruction are starting to arrive from Ladylake.

I'd like your help to sort them out.

Here you go.

This is the last one...

Emergency supplies will be equally divided among the people.

Tell everyone that hoarding will not be tolerated.

All right, get to work.

Alisha's working so hard.

The princess herself doesn't have to do these things.

Isn't that what makes Alisha special?

Oh, you know her very well.

Don't insinuate.

She's from that time...

Hey, you!

We're belong to Sparrowfeather. We brought food supplies from Ladylake.

Where should we put it?

Thank you!

Hey! You're the princess of Ladylake!

Here, I'm just a knight.

I've heard lots of rumors about Sparrowfeather.

And I know all about how popular you are.

- Please look on us kindly. - Hi there!

Hey! Long time no see!

Oh, you know her, Sorey?

We met at Ladylake, um...

It's Rose.

Looks like you became a Shepherd.

Oh, by the way, remember that debt?

Yeah...

What should I ask for? You being a Shepherd and all.

Just because I'm a Shepherd doesn't mean I have money...

Well, I don't expect much from you, Sorey...

But it seems you have a friend!

Just kidding!

So? Where should we unload?

Oh, right up ahead, please.

Got it.

Alisha!

What's the matter, Maltran?

Sirel wants to talk to you.

Sirel? Is it urgent?

Yes.

But...

It's all right if he listens in. He is Sorey the Shepherd.

I'm Sirel, and belong to Princess Alisha's personal cavalry.

Princess...

Lord Bartlow has ordered troops to Glaivend Basin.

Glaivend?!

The buffer zone between our border with Rolance?

Anticipating the worst, I had Sirel and others slip into the ranks,

but I never thought he'd go this far.

Word has leaked out that he has ordered officers to prepare for war.

Prepare for war?!

With you out of the way, Lord Bartlow can do anything he wants.

But why now?

He conveniently pushed you out of picture.

And emergency supplies are running seriously low.

It's certain that...

He plans to resolve it by plundering?

What is he going to do after stealing from them?

A second unit is being dispatched today from Ladylake.

There's no time.

No, I'll go and stop them.

Alisha...

I'm coming too.
