Mithra: ......It’s so cold......
Snow in the portrait: Well done, Mithra!
White in the portrait: Waves are spilling out from the door in space! Now’s our chance— ......
Violet: I won’t let you do as you please.
<< Volo Habere >>
Mithra: ......!
Snow & White in the portrait: Oh no, you don’t......
All right! We left our painting!
<< Noscommia >>
Violet: The twin children came out of the painting and protected the red-haired man......!?
Snow: Ohoho! Aren’t you surprised!
White: Mithra, concentrate on holding the door open! The least we can do is set up a barrier around you.
Mithra: I’m counting on you!
Snow: Child, state your name.
Violet: Violet.
Snow: Violet, huh. Let us repay our dues from the other day.
Violet: I’m not interested in bullying children.
Snow: What a kind child you are. I’ll make sure to dote on you thoroughly — for I am not kind in the least.
White: Ohoho. I’m hardly kind either.
Violet: << Volo Habere >>
Snow & White: << Noscommia >>
(Woosh)
Rutile: Mister Mithra......!
Mithra: ......Rutile!
Figaro: Keep the door open just like that......! We’ll take Levi to the sea and deal with it there!
Mithra: Levi? Well, okay. I’ll leave it to y......
.......Hang on a moment!! Leave Rutile behind, Figaro......!
Rutile: It’s fine, Mister Mithra! Trust me.
Levi, this way......!
Mithra: You’re kidding me......
Figaro: Come along with us if you’re so worried, Mithra! You’re good at swimming, aren’t you?
(Waves splashing)
Figaro: Leap through the door, Rutile! Hold your breath!
Rutile: Okay......!
(Growling) (Woosh)
Violet: ......! Where are you going......!?
Mithra: ........Argh, no way! I’m going too! I’m taking you guys along with me!
Snow: Don’t get our painting wet!
White: Take care of us!
Mithra: << Arthim >>!
Violet: Hold up......!
✦✧☾✧✦
Rutile: ......hh......!
(It’s so cold! I’m underwater...... Which way is up!?)
(Dr. Figaro...... Where’s Mister Mithra!?)
(............! There’s something clinging to my feet......!?)
(............! Now someone is grabbing my hand!? Are they trying to pull me up!?)
(......What do I do! I’m being pulled from both ends......! I’ll be torn apart......!)
(Ah......The hand grabbing my arm let go......)
(Splash)
Rutile: ......Cough......! Cough, cough.....
Figaro: Are you okay, Rutile!? Mithra, that was Rutile’s foot! Hold onto his arm the way I did!
Mithra: There’s no difference...... Thank god..... You’re safe......
Rutile: Cough, cough...... Sorry...... For making you worry...... Cough, cough......
Figaro: Stop holding Rutile upside-down! His face is underwater......!
Snow: Look.......!
White: It’s the Leviathan......!
(Growling)
Rutile: ............
......It’s gigantic......
......It’s as vast as the rocky mountains in my hometown...... It’s like a deity......
Mithra: Hmm...... It’s big, and that’s all there is to it.
Violet: You went out of your way to bring this creature all the way to sea, where its powers can be unleashed at full force......
What could you possibly be thinking?
Figaro: There was no other way. I know people who would be sad if that castle was destroyed.
Besides, I’m good at swimming too.
Mithra: Me too. I was raised by the lake, you see.
Figaro: Then shall we go for a swim?
Violet: Onwards, Lord of the Seas......!
Mithra: << Arthim >>
Figaro: << Possideo >>
✦✧☾✧✦
Arthur: I wonder if the Sage is all right......
Faust: They wouldn’t have taken him away if they planned on killing him.
Lennox: But who could have taken the Sage? If they have the power to transform the castle in an instant......
Faust: Shylock mentioned that it was someone who held a grudge towards Murr, but...... Oz, can you sense the others?
Oz: ............
I cannot tell.
Lennox: If only the Sage were here, then Sir Oz would be able to use his magic.......
Arthur: He can’t help his injury from the < Great Catastrophe >.
Sir Oz, please take care to not chant your spell out of your usual habit.
You’ll grow sleepy if you try to use your magic. And if you hit your head, you will get hurt.
Oz: Got it.
Arthur: Please take this sword in case anything happens.
Oz: ......Are you expecting me to swing a sword?
Arthur: Yes. I’m sure you’ll look cool wielding a sword, Sir Oz!
Oz: I see......
Faust: The opposite goes for you, Lennox. You have a habit of moving your body first, but.....
Since Oz cannot use magic right now, I’ll need you to support my attacks with magic.
Lennox: Yes.....
Faust: You don’t think you can do it?
Lennox: No, I can.
Faust: Yah!
Lennox: Hah!
(Punch)
Faust: See? You stopped me with your fist. Utter your spell before moving your hands.
Lennox: ..... Yes, sir.
Faust: Yah!
Lennox: Hah!
Faust: .........
Lennox: << Forsettao Meiuvat >> !
Faust: Yes. That’s what I’m talking about.
Lennox: .....Old habits die hard.....
Oz: I agree...... A sword, huh......
Arthur: I’d be happy to teach you if you’ll have me. Though I’m not as proficient as Cain is.
(Crash)
Faust: ......! The briars! They’re attacking!
Arthur: << Pernoctant Nixzo >>!
Faust: << Satillquinart Mullcreed >>
Oz: << Vox Nox >>
Zz......
Arthur: Sir Oz!!
Lennox: Hah.....!
(Thump)
Faust: Leno!
Lennox: Ah, shoot!
Arthur: ......These briars won’t stop attacking us......
Where on earth could the Sage be!?
✦✧☾✧✦
Akira: ............
Where am I......?
......Did I fall asleep somewhere......?
(Flashback)
Cain: Oops, sorry for waking you up. Did you have interesting dreams?
Akira: It feels like I did, but I can’t quite say...... Ahaha. I’ve forgotten.
Cain: I get that feeling. You forget your dreams the moment you wake up.
(Car horn blaring)
Akira: ......Huh? This is......
(Meowing)
Akira: Ah, a cat’s meow...... What was I doing? ......I can’t remember......
......Even though I didn’t want to forget......
Murr: But somewhere in your heart, you think, "Oh well. Nothing I can do about it." Right?
Akira: ......Who are you......?
Murr: I’m your cat! The heart is all about survival of the fittest, after all. It’s an environment where weak emotions are consumed by powerful ones.
Like a good, understanding child, you will swallow a cup filled to the brim with tragedy, without leaving a single drop.
If forcing your opinion upon others will cause them trouble, you would rather suffer the wounds yourself.
Oh, gentle spirit. In order to be with others — or, in order to be all alone.....
You slowly and gradually yielded every piece of yourself, wearing down your very soul.
Even though you had every right to protect your own soul.
Akira: ...I......
Murr: Did nobody tell you that?
That you yourself are one and only? That nobody can replace you?
(Car horn blaring)
✦✧☾✧✦
Talia: Say it again......
Murr: Nobody can replace you.
Talia: ......Murr......
Murr: Tell me your story, Talia. A tale that belongs only to you.
(End flashback)
✦✧☾✧✦
Akira: ............!
This is......
I open my eyes, and find myself in a mysterious dimension: a pure black realm of space, with swirling flowers of light dancing before my eyes.
Obsius: I see you’re awake.
Akira: You are......!
Standing in front of me is — the man in the black silk hat I met in the Central marketplace.
Obsius: We met at the marketplace, Sage from a different world.
It makes you feel good, doesn’t it? A heretic like you being revered by a bunch of fools.
Akira: ......I......
Obsius: My name is Obsius. You shall stay here and watch as the castle of briars is resurrected.
Akira: ............
.........Are you the one who did all of this to Granvelle Castle......?
Why......? You said you would show me your completed puppet show......
Obsius: The performance is underway as we speak. Take a look through the rose windows.
Obsius points at the glowing flower patterns, and I strain my eyes in the direction of what he called the rose windows.
Beyond the disparate flower patterns, I catch sight of the Sage’s wizards.
Cain and Owen beating back the briars as they attempt to break into the castle......
Chloe and Rustica flying in the air close by...
Above the seas, I see Rutile and Mithra face to face with a giant monster.
And Figaro and the twins with them.
I see Arthur and Oz, as well as Faust and Lennox in the castle hall.
In the labyrinthine courtyard, Shino battles a bovine monster......
As the figures of Heath, Mitile and Riquet race desperately through the maze.
A giant bird flies dizzying circles in the night sky, with Nero and Bradley on its heel.
Joined by Murr and Shylock, all giving chase on their brooms.
Akira: ......Everyone......!
Obsius: Now, Talia. Accept the sacrifices I offer to you.
Hurry! Wake up, and show yourself to me!
The man named Obsius laughs, a distorted sound that resounds in space.
With my limbs still entangled in briars, I —.......
I can do nothing but hold my breath and watch over the scenes unfolding beyond the rose windows.

It should be Faust instead of Figaro, thanks for the tl as always!
