Just like switching channels

I was trying to escape from the reality before my eyes

Still not knowing the meaning of freedom

I'm held back by the rules that I cannot see

I want to see what kind of future only I can build for myself

I want to see what kind of future only I can build for myself

I cannot simply stop, so I call upon the hidden sun

I cannot simply stop, so I call upon the hidden sun

GO TO THE LIGHT

I want a burning passion within me that is greater than anyone 's

And have even distant dreams shine forth everywhere

And have even distant dreams shine forth everywhere

GO TO THE LIGHT

I want to embrace a strength that can wipe away all frustrations

Over the many dawns

In order to find out what it is to be me

Why, that's...

That's Lake Col!

All right!

We're here!

According to the map...

...the entrance to the shrine...

...is to the right as we come out of the forest.

To the right?

To the right!

Right! Right! Ri...!

Sure it's to the right?

I don't see anything here.

Huh? That's strange.

Guys! Over there!

This is to our left!

So that's the mountain palace.

That's strange.

Who was that person I saw a moment ago?

On ourjourney to El Continent...

...we met a warrior by the name of Ashton.

Shortly afterwards, we saw Ashton...

...become possessed by a two-headed dragon...

...and we reluctantly decided to help him get rid of it.

We learned that the King's Teardrop needed to free him...

...can be found in the depths of the mountain shrine at Lake Col.

The King's Teardrop is in here.

I know what I saw.

But I can't imagine a woman coming to a place like this alone.

It must've been something else you saw.

Or maybe you saw a ghost.

The palace should be on the right.

Is this map wrong?

That was no ghost.

I'm sure there was somebody here.

Hey! Let‘s hurry and go!

Relax.

We're going in.

There are three paths.

It says, "depths of the mother's body"...

...which suggests that we go to the farthest room from the entrance.

The middle path should be the shortest path to our destination.

Okay. Then, let's go.

This scent.

What is it, Claude?

Oh, what a nice scent. It's like perfume.

Which would mean the woman that Claude saw...

It means the lady I saw was not a ghost.

There was something unusual about her.

What kind of woman visits a palace in the thick of the forest?

I'm sure there is a good reason behind it.

You guys are so cruel! You left me alone!

That didn‘t seem to be a problem to me.

You're so cold-hearted!

Have you forgotten?!

It was you guys who turned me into this!

Fire Bolt!

Let's get out of here!

Don't get in my way!

Leave that demon to me!

How'd you like that? Impressed?

Are you all right?!

They weren‘t watching.

This is who I saw earlier.

Let‘s get out of here for now.

I think that would be wise.

What a beautiful lady.

She has a sense of style.

What kind of fabric is that?

I've never seen anything like it.

How do you use this?

What's this?

Where am I?

We're outside the palace.

You were attacked by monsters and fell unconscious.

Ernest!

Take it easy!

You won't get far with that leg.

But I can finally see Ernest.

I can handle this pain.

You're not from this planet, are you?

That kind of weapon doesn't exist here.

I'm not from here, either.

I'm amazed.

Rena has healing powers.

Thank you.

The pain is gone.

No problem.

Um... Could you tell us your name?

My name is Opera Vectra.

I‘ve come looking for the man I love.

His name is Ernest Reviede.

He's an archaeologist.

He gets so excited about his work...

...and whenever he hears about some ruins...

...he forgets about me and leaves right away.

How terrible!

But that's one of his charms.

Any man who isn't serious about his work...

...isn‘t going to be serious about his love life either.

A man who isn't serious about his work, huh?

To think back how serious I was about my work...

The ship's breaking apart!

Positron cannon charge complete!

I searched all over, and finally tracked him down to this palace.

And then...

I found this in a store at the foot of the mountain.

A diagram of the palace?!

That's better than the one I have.

It appears to be written by Ernest.

According to the store clerk...

...Ernest told him that he was living here and studying the ruins.

It's quite extensive.

Um, can I ask you a question?

What is it?

What perfume are you wearing?

It‘s called Aphrodite...

...named after the Golden Goddess of Love.

It's supposed to nurture love.

Wow. That sounds wonderful.

And...

How did you meet Ernest?

E-Ernest...

Where did you buy that outfit?

Tailor made?

Was it love at first sight?

I love your jewelry.

How did he first tell you he loved you?

What gem is that?

I can't keep up with them.

Huh? Ashton?

Are you angry about something?

Of course I am!

We should've gotten the King's Teardrop by now...

...and I'd have this weight off my shoulders!

Ow!

Stop it! Hey! Stop it!

So you were destined to be together.

I wasn't the only one.

Someone else is from another planet.

I have to suffer because you guys won't hurry.

I'm going to sleep!

Your scales are tearing my skin.

You're up early.

Good morning, Opera.

Morning.

What's that?

A transmitter.

I check to see if I can reach my colleagues.

I do it every morning.

But there hasn't been one response yet.

I see.

Opera.

What quadrant in space is this planet located?

Well, I don't know that either.

Huh?

You came in a spaceship, right?

The space chart should...

I arrived all right...

...but failed on landing.

Then you mean...?!

I was barely able to flee with my belongings.

I thought I‘d finally come across a means to return.

Doesn't it make you anxious?

No, because I believe that I will meet him.

Huh?

We love each other, after all.

You‘re a strong woman.

E231]

Why are we going that way?!

We get the King's Teardrop today, right?!

We can‘t leave Opera alone.

You want to send her off alone?

Where's your compassion?

How about some compassion for me?!

I'll be all right alone.

I have my weapon to help me.

Not allowed!

Wh-What about you, Claude?

IE]

All right, then! I'll go alone!

H-Hey, Ashton!

I'm really going, you know.

Have a nice trip!

I'm really, really going!

As I said, have a nice trip!

Take care.

I'll be on my way.

0h, Ashton!

Huh?! What is it?! You want to come with me?!

I'II lend you my map of the palace.

I‘m going!

You think he'll be all right?

Well, he is a swordsman.

And he has Gyoro and Ururun with him.

I don't mean that.

I didn't see it on your map...

...but there are traps set in that direction.

But I doubt anyone would fall for simple traps like that.

Promise?!

As soon as we meet Ernest...

...we're going back...

...to search for the King's Teardrop!

Yes, yes. We understand.

It worked out.

It's best that we all stay together.

From here on in, we need to be extra cautious.

Fire Bolt!

Get out of my way!

Okay! Let‘s charge through!

I'm almost there. I'll be seeing you soon, Ernest.

There are too many monsters here.

How could anyone be living here?

This is it.

Ernest's lab is on the other side of this banquet hall.

I can finally see you.

Ernest!

Opera!

That‘s Flare Lizard!

How crude of it to come between two lovers!

I request the assistance of you and your shining skills.

Mitauron, King of Thunder, son of the King of Nothingness...

...the one who resides in the spiral world of nothingness.

I call upon you to use your golden hammers...

...to viciously crush the toughest of metals!

Thunder Bolt!

Kuhazan!

We did it!

Ernest!

But it was definitely dead!

Is it the Sorcery Globe again?

No.

Flare Lizard is one tough guy to begin with.

You can kill him many times...

...but he has the uncanny ability to self-recover.

What‘s the matter, Ashton?

What's with that cool attitude?

I've been itching to see some action.

My body was getting numb from waiting!

He's been possessed again!

I'II crush you to pieces so that you can't recover!

That wasn't enough.

What do we do now?!

Ernest is on the other side!

You will pay.

Whoever may get in my way!

Please do that again!

You've got the nerve to give us orders.

Hurry!

All right!

Now!

I won't allow you to stand between Ernest and I!

Yes.

In pieces like this, there's no way he'll recover.

What a woman.

Huh? Where's the Flare Lizard?

Ernest!

Ernest...

It does look like someone was living here.

Ernest...

Opera, who's that?

Ernest.

I missed him again.

We've got the worst timing.

He says he left a week ago to some other ruins.

That's awful. After all the trouble.

He's that kind of guy, and that's why I love him.

He hasn‘t been shaving again.

I keep telling him to shave.

Take care of yourself.

Why is it?

How come Flare Lizard got killed all of a sudden?

Seriously...

Thank you.

But I'll be fine.

I can't figure it out!

Until I meet the man I love...

...I will survive.

That was beautiful.

So romantic.

I hope you experience wonderful love.

Should our paths cross, we shall meet then.

Yes!

For sure!

What happened?!

Tell me! Come on!

HEART TO HEART

Iwant to turn the switch on to my soul and wipe away my tears

Ican feel the wind blowing freely across my body

I'll take my love and thank you into the future

Who am Isupposed to thank for the miracle of meeting you?

I want to be proud of having someone so important

I want to be proud of having someone so important

Everyone has things that they want to hide

We 're notjust live mannequins, after all

Reality is not a game

You can 't cop out and reset it

I want to turn the switch on to my soul and be happy

I want to embrace kindness as many times as I kiss

Let's all cherish the dreams we have for this town

As yesterday came to nothing, the future is about to begin

However the days go, Iwill continue to live with my eyes wide open

However the days go, Iwill continue to live with my eyes wide open

I'm Ashton Anchors.

The summit of the Lasgus range.

So that's where the King's Teardrop is.

m

If I say vows to purify myself...

...Gyoro and Ururun will die?!

The legendary Demon Bird Jean.

What should I do?!

On the next episode of Star Ocean EX...

..."Teardrop".

Teardrop

Teardrop

The truth is, I've become fond of Gyoro and Ururun.

Teardrop
