Shining Force III Scenario 3 Translation - Chapter 1

Section 3) Destonia Harbour ~ Translated by Lineage


Scholar :
I have been waiting for you, Julian battalion.

Bresby :
I have returned as promised, Scholar.

Scholar :
I was getting worried you might not make it on time, Bresby.
If this invasion wasn't from the Bulzome Sect, it would
have been better for the Empire to be destroyed.

Bresby :
A man with abusive language as usual... Although I know your
goal is to reform Imperial prejudiced society, I'll cut it
short here for now.

Kate :
...It was you, Father... you are always kind and gentle...
I didn't expect to hear extreme words from you.

Donhort :
Is this man really a priest? I can't trust this priest who
speaks dangerously. How about you?

YES

Scholar : Are you really Lord Julian? I'm really
a priest. However, I do have another face too.

NO

Scholar : Are you really Lord Julian? So, you don't
see me as a priest... However, I really am a priest
on the surface.

Bresby :
Are you sure you can speak of it freely? What if the soldiers
hear? You are man on a wanted list, you will be captured.

Scholar :
I came here risking that. I heard Sir Gracia is with you, so
I wanted to stop you until you saw me.

Gracia :
If you stop us from going to Destonia castle, the castle will
be taken over...and that would be the last of the Empire. Why
would you do such thing? And...

Scholar :
Are you talking about me? I used to be a scholar and advisor
serving under Destonia. Grantack and Bresby were my contemporaries,
and we used to be competing rivals.

Bresby :
Scholar was the best among us. When he was working in the
castle, he discovered the contradictions associated with the
prejudiced society. So, he abandoned his studies in order
to reform this prejudiced society.

Scholar :
I have received an education as a priest in Elbesem and returned
here as a priest in Destonia church. In the meanwhile, I have
been building a Resistance force against the Empire.

Kate :
Then, the mysterious leader of the Resistance whom the Imperial
Military Police is seeking is…?

Scholar :
That's me, young lady.

Donhort :
How surprising. So, you are a leader of an anti-imperial
organization. Even more so, Bresby has been hiding such a fact
as an advisor.

Gracia :
So, with telling us such important secret, what is the reason
to stop us from going to the castle?

Cyclops :
We have received information that the Empire is plotting
against you and to take away the Staff of Besem. Actually,
an army known as Rainbloods...

Scholar :
So, you have already fought them in Elbesem. If that is so,
you do know how dangerous it is to march onward to
Destonia castle, right?

YES

Scholar : So, the Rainbloods have taken damage from the
Staff of Besem. If they are not present in the castle,
we still...

NO

Scholar : So, you are saying Bulzome and vandals are
more dangerous than them, Lord Julian?

Cyclops :
They are aware of everything, yet they wish to march ahead.
There is no way to stop them anymore.

(If Edmund has joined the force)

Isabella : It's your defeat, Father Scholar. It seems
like Julian battalion is ready for the risk.

Scholar : It's you, Isabella. It's unfortunate, but
it's true.

Cyclops : Do not go easy, Father! Lady Isabella is
trying to go to castle along with Julian battalion!

Isabella : ...Please do not stop me, Cyclops. I...
I am worried about Madam Aunt Melinda.

Scholar : Why is Princess Isabella here... That's right.
You came to the church in remembrance to your
mother who was a nun, correct?

Cyclops : Prince Medion's mother, Madam Melinda has
raised you as her real daughter, so I understand how
you feel.

Isabella : I have Bridget with me. As long as she is
protecting me, there is nothing to worry about.

Gracia : It seems Princess Isabella is going to the
castle with us.

Donhort : Priest, you are not thinking of making us
bodyguards for a princess, are you?

Bridget : What? How dare you! Sir, what kind of behaviour was that
in front of the Princess? I won't tolerate such rude
behaviour towards the Princess!

Scholar : Even though you know of Julian Battalion's
determination of going to the castle, you are still
worried, Isabella?

Isabella : I have promised with Madam Aunt when
Destonia fall in peril, that I would protect her.

Scholar : but, I can't allow you to go. At least...
instead of you... How about it, Lord Julian. Will
you take Bridget instead?

YES

Scholar :
Julian has agreed. Bridget will be protecting
Madam Melinda instead of you. Now, everything
is alright?

Bridget :
You'll soon realize you've made a wise choice
deciding to take me.

NO

Scholar :
If even Bridget is not allowed to go along with
you, there is no way I can stop Isabella.

Bridget :
If you don't take me with you, we two will be
going to the castle alone.

Gracia :
It seems she's serious... I think we should take
her with us.

Bridget :
You'll soon realize you've made a wise choice
deciding to take me.

(If Edmund did not join the force)

Isabella : It's your defeat, Father Scholar. May I
receive a permission to go with Julian Battalion as
promised?

Scholar : Isabella...

Cyclops : Can you allow it?! Sir Scholar! How can you
allow the Princess to go to such dangerous place...
I...I can't agree!

Isabella : ...Please do not stop me, Cyclops. I...
I am worried about Madam Aunt Melinda.

Scholar : Why is Princess Isabella here... That's right.
You came to the church in remembrance to your
mother who was a nun, correct?

Cyclops : Prince Medion's mother, Madam Melinda has
raised you as her real daughter, so I understand how
you feel.

Isabella : I have Bridget with me. As long as she is
protecting me, there is nothing to worry about.

Gracia : It seems Princess Isabella is going to the
castle with us.

Donhort : Priest, you are not thinking of making us
bodyguards for a princess, are you?

Bridget : What? How dare you! Sir, what kind of behaviour was that
in front of the Princess? I won't tolerate such rude
behaviour towards the Princess!

Scholar : Isabella has inherited her mother's talent... It seems
your army is in dire need of soldiers with healing ability. She
should be a valuable asset for Julian Battalion.

Isabella : ...Then, Sir Scholar, will you allow me to…?

Scholar : Because I want to protect your honor, I have to do
this... How about it, Lord Julian. Will you take her?

YES

Scholar : Since he has heartily accepted, both of you ladies,
as members of Julian Battalion, please remember by heart, that
indulgences won't be forgiven.

Isabella : Wait for me, Madam Aunt Melinda. Before the castle
is taken over, I will absolutely come to your aid, Madam Aunt.

Bridget : You'll soon realize you've made a wise choice
deciding to take me.

NO

Scholar : ...I guess you won't give in, even after being
rejected. Your determination is as strong as to saving your own mother.

Bridget : If you do not take us, I will do my best to stop
Julian Battalion here. You wanna fight with me? Or take us
with you? You decide!

Gracia : It seems she's serious... I think we should take
them with us.

Isabella : Wait for me, Madam Aunt Melinda. Before the castle
is taken over, I will absolutely come to your aid, Madam Aunt.

Bridget :
You'll soon realize you've made a wise choice
deciding to take me.

Bresby :
Now that the story with the Princess is concluded, shall we hear the
situation of the Empire?

Scholar :
It seems the Imperial army is helpless because the Flying Weapon controlled
by the Bulzome Sect is way too strong.

Gracia :
That's Walcuray. It's impossible to destroy it with ordinary weapons. You must
destroy the staff controlling it.

Cyclops :
So, that's called Walcuray? If you mean the controlling staff, it seems like
the staff the High Priest possessed. After he ordered the Masked Monks to
guard, he stuck in the staff on the centre, and he was giving some orders or
something. It seemed weird to me. So, such a thing will control it?

Gracia :
Is that so... so, unlike Vandals, even the High Priest has to stay away
from the staff because the power radiating from the staff is too strong.

Bresby :
It seems the solution to defeat Walcuray was found, Sir Gracia? Now,
let's depart quickly, Julian. Let's defeat them before the castle is
taken over.

Scholar :
You don't have to be so impatient, Bresby. They will be showing off
their powers for the time being. They certainly would like to get the castle
without any damage to it.
