Captain Jeralt? I have a request to make of you.
link Jeralt volume_up
Someone's formal today. Well? Out with it.
link Leonie volume_up
When this war is over, please let me join your mercenary company!
link Leonie volume_up
You'll go back to wandering the world, right?
link Leonie volume_up
So please, Captain. Please let me come with you.
link Jeralt volume_up
...
link Jeralt volume_up
I'm happy to hear you want to join us, Leonie. But that's not enough for me to say yes.
link Leonie volume_up
No? Why not?
link Jeralt volume_up
There are two reasons.
link Jeralt volume_up
The biggest is that I'm thinking about stepping down from my position as captain, so the ultimate call isn't really mine to make.
link Leonie volume_up
Then...who will lead the mercenaries?!
link Jeralt volume_up
Couldn't tell you. That's up to them.
link Jeralt volume_up
The second reason is that I think you should start your own band of mercenaries instead.
link Leonie volume_up
You...do?
link Jeralt volume_up
You're a mercenary in your own right now, and a fantastic general in this army.
link Jeralt volume_up
With that kind of experience, there's no point in going to work for someone else.
link Leonie volume_up
Do you really think so?
link Jeralt volume_up
Of course. Someone with your skill set would be a fine addition to any group of mercs, including mine.
link Jeralt volume_up
You're planning to surpass me and the kid, right?
link Jeralt volume_up
You can't exactly do that if you're working for us.
link Jeralt volume_up
You'll have to build your own band of mercs from the ground up and win your reputation just like I did.
link Jeralt volume_up
You'll need to give it your all if you want to create something better than what I've built.
link Leonie volume_up
...
link Leonie volume_up
Then that's what I'll do.
link Leonie volume_up
I'll form my own band of mercenaries that's every bit as good as yours!
link Jeralt volume_up
That's why I'm proud to call you my apprentice.
link Leonie volume_up
But in exchange, I have a condition.
link Leonie volume_up
You have to remain as captain until I catch up to you!
link Jeralt volume_up
Well, I guess it's a captain's job to live with an apprentice's reckless decisions.
link Jeralt volume_up
But I don't have all the time in the world. This body's falling apart as it is.
link Jeralt volume_up
So get yourself up and running before I shrivel away. Got it?
link Leonie volume_up
It's a promise!
link Jeralt volume_up
I'm looking forward to the day.
