ｏｎｅ。 ａｕｄｉｏ。
[ There are a few slight moments of silence - perhaps, if you listen closely enough, you can hear some slight sounds of nature from the forest's edge in the background - before a girl speaks up with a quite deadpan (and calm, considering the situation) tone. ]
Am I being reduced to this again this soon already? I really must be popular with all of you witches. So, which one of you do I have the honor of dealing with this time? Bernkastel again, or even that Featherine witch? ... Either way, you can come out and start laughing now. If you're looking for your cue, this is it.
[ She pauses for a moment, as if she actually does expect someone to pop up. But when it doesn't happen, she just continues talking. ]
It's pretty inconsiderate to let someone waiting after dragging them in, you know. Although I guess I should expect as much from the lot of you.
And what's up with these wings? 'Sure, let's give her pink wings this time just to see the look on her face, ahahaha' or whatever, right? I'm not laughing, but surely you predicted as much.
... Any normal person would start to think I'm going insane by now, like I'm talking to myself. Ah.. it's useless, it's all useless. Does anyone who's not me feel like speaking up already?

[Voice]
Pretty much. I never said we were in a good position here. It could be worse. It can always be worse. But it isn't good either.
[Voice]
... Although even in that case people would argue that's yet better. [ It's not as if she particularly cares for life anymore either, after all. ]
[Voice]
[Confidence. He has it. Perhaps a foolish amount, but it's carried him through a lot of hell like any good shounen sort of guy.]
[Voice]
Sometimes when you don't have any goal or possibility to make things right anymore, you probably realise it's for the best to just give up. That being said, there's still one thing left I have to do too, so I have no intention of dying either.
[Voice]
Well, not having a goal means you probably already won. And there's always something new around the corner waiting!
But I like the sense of resolve you have.

[A genuinely good idealist idiot hero. Better get used to them Ange, they're all over the place.]
Yeah, life may be short if you look in the cosmic picture. But it's still worth protecting, fighting for, and enjoying.
[He shakes his head a bit.]
Not sure how we got into philosophy so quickly, but that's what I think on the matter.
[Voice]
[ A tiny sigh. How does one deal with idealistic idiot heroes.. ]
Some circumstances just can't be helped or improved. I thought for a while that relying on outside help might be the solution, but that's no different at all. That's exactly the thing that stabs you in the back the moment you put your guard down.
I just can't find myself agreeing with such idealistic ideas.
[Voice]
Not surprised about disagreeing, though. I got a lot of that back home.
[Voice]
[ This is the result of a streak of bad experiences, honestly. ]
... Geez, I wonder why.
[Voice]
But keep an open mind. You might one day be pleasantly surprised.
[Most certainly bad experiences, and Adell's had his fair share of them as well, but...
He actually smirks a bit at her sarcasm.]
It's worked well for me so far.
[Voice]
... I'm willing to compromise though and say that I'll believe you that some people here might be fairly decent for now.
[Voice]
Fair enough. I just hope they don't prove me wrong!
[Voice]
If they do, I'll be sure to tell you about it so you can realise my point.
[Voice]
You'll find me to be really stubborn.
[Voice]
[Voice]
But I know we can be pretty frustrating.
[He's kind of proud of it, admittedly. But being bullheaded hero is what got him this far in life.]
