＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
...I never thought I would[sr]have to resort to this altar.[bgm BGM_EVENT_48 0.1]
[k]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
How unfortunate that only the trivial matters went smoothly, while my true desires remain frustratingly out of reach.
[k]

＠Ashtart
[charaTalk D]
...Nn...
[k]

＠Ashtart
[charaTalk D]
I...can't move...[sr]Munenori, what...is this place?
[k]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
Ah, so you have awoken, my goddess.
[k]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
This is the altar where the Primordial Goddess fell into a deep slumber[line 2]the holy ground of the Ancient Shrine Bel Maanna.
[k]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
On this altar, your body will serve as a catalyst with which to awaken the Primordial Goddess.
[k]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
That is to say...you will be sacrificed.
[k]

＠Ashtart
[charaTalk D]
...I see. So instead of making me into the perfect goddess, you're going to offer me up to her...
[k]

＠Ashtart
[charaTalk D]
Before I go, just let me ask you this.[sr]Why did you raise me?
[k]

＠Ashtart
[charaTalk D]
You said yourself that Ishtar was a better match for the Primordial Goddess.
[k]

＠Ashtart
[charaTalk D]
So if you knew that all along,[sr]why didn't you take her instead of me?
[k]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
Given how matters have unfolded, yes, perhaps that would have been the more prudent course of action.
[k]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
She would even have been a better evil commander than you, as you took it much more seriously than you should have.
[k]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
But none of that matters now.
[k]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
We discovered you in Tokiomi's house when you were still just an infant. An infant that had been sealed away to ensure you would never awaken.
[k]

[charaFace G 1]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
There was something stern and ill-tempered about your expression that told me you had the potential to be a fine swordfighter.
[k]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
I have grown sentimental in my old age, and it was that sentimentality that led to my choosing you.
[k]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
Now that your skills have exceeded mine, I know that I chose right. Compared to the joy of seeing you surpass me, nothing else matters.
[k]

＠Ashtart
[charaTalk D]
...I see. Thank you, Munenori.
[k]

＠Ashtart
[charaTalk D]
I am the half of the goddess that humans rejected.
[k]

＠Ashtart
[charaTalk D]
The half that reincarnated as a human to try to reach an understanding with them, only to be told I had no place in their world.
[k]

＠Ashtart
[charaTalk D]
But you, Munenori, have served me well,[sr]so you are now free to do with me as you wish.
[k]

＠Ashtart
[charaTalk D]
I... I'm just sorry that...[sr]I couldn't live up to your hopes for me.

It would seem the end is close at hand.[sr]Wouldn't you agree, Master-slash-catalyst?

The other Ishtarin's been laid out on the altar!

Does that mean you're going to sacrifice her!?[sr]I thought that was [%1]'s job!

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
It was, on Dark Maanna. But here in this ancient shrine, Lady Ashtart is a better fit.
[k]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
I was hoping she could obtain the Primordial Goddess's power for herself...
[k]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
But now that a Master and the goddess's good and evil halves are all gathered at this shrine, there is no stopping what comes next.
[k]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
Two thousand years ago, the Primordial Goddess, Ashtart Origin, was resurrected and defeated on this very spot.
[k]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
Now, she will be resurrected once again,[sr]using Lady Ashtart as her Spirit Core.
[k]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
Next, Ashtart Origin will absorb Ishtar, her remaining half, and the Master will become the keystone keeping her materialized.
[k]

[charaFace G 1]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
...Heh. I could hope for no better subordinate than a Primordial Goddess with our evil commander at her core.
[k]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
There is no stopping her resurrection now. Your only choice is to run to the far corners of the galaxy, or[line 2]

Very well. I was getting tired of my usual “or your blood will serve to whet my blade” spiel anyway.

[charaFace G 5]

＠Warrior of Darkness Munenori
Come then, have at you. [bgm BGM_EVENT_24 0.1]I will use my Space[sr]Shinkageryu to reunite you with your father.
