Tales of Zestiria the X

Lailah! Inside the tornado...!

- Impossible... - No way!

A dragon!

It's on the move!

Alisha! Alisha!

Alisha, it's coming this way!

Guards! Where are the guards?!

It's heading towards the palace!

Alisha!

#07 To Each His Own Thoughts

#07 To Each His Own Thoughts Allow anyone seeking shelter into the palace!

Allow anyone seeking shelter into the palace!

- Understand? - Yes!

Huh? Look...!

Sorey!

It's too dangerous!

Sorey, do you have a plan?

No... No, I don't! But...

Sorey!

Are we safe?

The dragon, a symbol of bad luck, that brings death and destruction.

Say, Lailah... Is that dragon also the manifestation of Malevolence?

Yes, probably.

But I can't believe my eyes... that a dragon actually appeared.

Sorey!

Alisha!

Thank you for saving Ladylake!

N-No, I...

Sorey, look!

The dragon disappeared!

It's the Shepherd!

Master Shepherd! Master Shepherd!

The Shepherd!

Wait! Calm down, please!

Oh, Shepherd!

Thank you!

You stopped that dragon with your powers, Shepherd.

I didn't do anything.

Such modesty.

Shepherd, I have a request to ask of you.

As a token of our appreciation, will you join us for a meal?

What do you say?

Lord Bartlow, what are you up to?

Why, it's just common courtesy.

All I'm doing...

is offering the Shepherd a little repast.

Sure, I'll take you up on it.

Oh! The Shepherd has accepted my invitation!

Sorey...

Will you come too?

Master Shepherd!

I'm sorry, can you stop?

- Lailah... - Yes.

Malevolence hasn't consumed Ladylake yet, but there's not much time.

That's the feeling I get.

We must do something.

Welcome!

Please stay right there, Princess Alisha. I will escort you.

Escort?

I have a message from His Majesty the King...

"Come immediately to the Palace."

- No one told me! - His Majesty...

awaits.

It seems you are not wanted here, Lady Alisha.

Forgive me, Sorey, but...

I'll be fine.

Master Shepherd...

Welcome, Shepherd.

Hello.

How are you acquainted with Princess Alisha?

We're friends.

Friends?

It hasn't been long since we met, but I consider her a good friend.

I see. Can we be friends too?

You want to be a friend?

That's not the impression I get.

Here's a toast.

Sorey...

Be careful of what you partake.

It's good.

Yeah, this tastes good.

Is it to your liking? It's the pride of Hyland.

Although with one disaster after another, the harvest has been small lately.

Why did you want to see me?

What are you going to do from now on?

We would be most happy....

if we could rely on your help.

I'm sorry, I have plans.

May I ask what they are?

I'm going to pursue the dragon.

Pursue and do what?

I don't know what I can do, but...

if the dragon is the symbol of bad luck...

I may be able to find a clue to make the world better.

Sorey...

Alisha!

Here you are.

The sun is setting. I guess we'll call it a day.

Sorey, I am being sent to Marlind.

It's a direct order from His Majesty.

Is that because of that Bartlow fellow?

I don't know. But even if it is...

I can't ignore the people who are suffering from the epidemic.

Was it wise to let the Shepherd leave like that?

If he's leaving Ladylake, there won't be any bloodshed here.

Then what about the war preparations?

Of course, we proceed.

Lailah, can we talk?

What's wrong, Mikleo?

Watching Sorey today made me think...

That since becoming a Shepherd, Sorey is facing his destiny head on.

Do you feel that he's become unreachable?

I wonder... I'm not sure.

Well then, what do you feel you must do from now, Mikleo?

I don't know that either.

I don't know, yet...

I feel like this current relationship isn't going to work.

Sorey has become a Shepherd, so what am I supposed to do?

I left the village thinking I would travel with him.

Will you return to Elysia?

No, although it did cross my mind.

If Sorey is going to travel the world as a Shepherd,

I cannot let him go alone.

You really love Sorey, don't you, Mikleo?

We're stuck with each other, that's all.

What you can do for Sorey?

There's definitely something.

Lailah, we're going after Mikleo right away!

What if a hellion appears? He can't handle it alone!

He should know that by now!

Why'd he go alone...?!

I guess Mikleo had a reason...

to go alone.
