Find the Philosopher's Stone!

Kill all who resist!

Split into three groups!

Where's the Philosopher's Stone?

An elemental cat?

It's no match for us!

You're safe now.

Lumines is caught up in war again...

My master must be worried.

Are you trying to cheer me up, Tama?

Aria, purr-k up a bit!

I'm here, we're all here for you!

Including me.

Wearing this coat reminds me of when I was called Frozen Anna, the snow queen!

Out of retirement, then?

More like just here to see Cedric.

Oh, stop it! You're not wrong!

Aria, you are not the frightened girl you once were.

Lady Alisha...

I hear you learned a new skill.

Excalibur, yes.

With that power, it is now your turn to save your homeland.

I will!

Entranced by your now

A perfect match

With my ultimate heart

I'm already by your side

In a world of words none can spy on

Wound up making up for jealousy with cuteness

Prepared for days of embracing and giving to each other

Days when secrets maintained balance

Small contradictions scattered around

Don't worry, I'm big enough to love those too

Entranced by your now

A perfect match

With my ultimate heart

I'm already by your side

In a world of words none can spy on

Even if we're reborn lets watch the latest episode together

Holding, holding on to the pain and love that come as one

With a big S Rank heart

This is where little-kitty Aria grew up!

Look at that huge tree!

I feel a great power here!

That's our sacred tree.

It has watched over this place since long before I was born.

Is it edible?

Please don't...

You honor us to travel here.

Nothing could make us feel safer.

We appreciate the welcome.

Aria, I am glad to see you well.

Tales of your accomplishments have reached us here.

Oh, I haven't done much.

You look well too, Chief.

So this is Lord Elvun...

He looks much younger than I expected.

Sword Saint Alisha, let us thank you once more for saving our village from demon onslaught.

No need for that

I see you have improved your defenses since then.

Indeed. We've brought in reinforcements from other villages, as well.

The Philosopher's Stone is an elvish treasure.

The demons cannot be allowed to take it.

I thought I saw faces I didn't recognize. That would explain it.

Stella, what is it?

That there is a strong one.

Is she?

Please, come inside.

There they are!

Wow!

Aria and the Sword Saint!

Aria!

The Sword Saint!

Lady Sword Saint!

Aria, welcome home!

Thank you!

I'm so glad everyone is safe, Tama.

I'll introduce you to my mother later.

I'm certain she's a wonderful woman.

Wow, there's so much green in here!

I feel so at home.

Wanna go exploring?

Sounds fun!

Hey, where did Lily and Feri go?

Good question...

Feri, we should play hide and seek!

Okay!

You there! Halt!

Hmm, I don't recognize you two. Where are you from?

Uhh... Very far away!

We're exploring!

There you are!

Oh! Fionne!

Is that you, Aria?

It's been so long!

Look how you've grown!

And who are they?

My companions!

Pleased to mewcha!

Running off like that is a big no-no!

We're sorry...

At least they're safe and—

What now?

No way! Leo is always way too stubborn to show his belly!

"Leo?"

The very same who once saved my master?

I must show my thanks!

Oh, my! Tama and Leo together!

Two cool cats!

If Tama's acting like that, they must be tough!

I wanna join in!

So big and fluffy!

Let us get straight to discussing our defenses.

Do I really deserve a place here?

Master, you've proven yourself in the fight against the Demonic Four. Stand proud!

There are three points to discuss.

Your evacuation plan, your military strength, and the defense of the Philosopher's Stone.

Our people have been regularly drilled in our evacuation plans.

We have stocks of food in case of a siege, as well.

As for our might, have a look.

I am proud to say we are ready, even in the face of a demonic attack.

You mentioned bringing in forces from other villages.

Many of the best, yes.

Such as the Amazoness team Gusiona is part of in particular.

Never knew we had an Amazoness team.

They formed only this past year.

And are led by someone you know quite intimately.

Huh?!

Oh, how I've missed you, Aria.

Mother?!

Master's birth mother?

H-How can this be?

You've never held a sword. How are you the captain?

Sorry to surprise you.

It all happened soon after you left home.

Like this, then? Hup!

Goodness, does this mean I'm powerful?

I discovered myself capable of a skill which turns my normal attack into two full-area attacks.

Your huh? That does what? And how?

I can't make heads or tails of it, but it must be powerful.

Apologies for springing this on you.

I would see you reunited under different circumstances, if not for war's approach.

I-I see...

Master...

Yay!

Are they done yet? I'm bored.

This meeting's purr-etty important. Hold your kittens.

Hey! Hey!

Are you all really strong?

Will you beat the big bad demons?

Course we will!

You can be paws-itively sure!

And we've got a friend even stronger than me!

Yeah? Who?

His name is—

Tama!

Quit butting in!

Tama's super strong!

The demons don't stand a chance!

He was something else...

Like a big, holy beast.

So rest at ease!

Few even in our village know where the Philosopher's Stone is kept.

That is why the demons did not find it during their last raid.

I've never even seen it myself.

It is kept hidden, then...

But where?

Incredible!

The tree itself can move!

We alone will head inside. You stand watch.

Very well.

Talk about dark...

Oh, my...

It's massive...

The fragment in the labyrinth was nothing in comparison!

Incredible!

Do be careful.

The stone is protected by a powerful barrier.

Never hurts to be extra safe.

With defenses this strong, we can focus solely on our battle.

Wow! You're Aria's mommy?

You're so pretty!

Goodness me! What adorable fairy friends you have.

Right?

I'm seeing four im-purr-essive sights!

The melons don't fall far fur-om the vine!

Indeed...

Are you hungry?

Starved!

I'll fix something right up.

I'll lend a paw!

Us, too!

I'll cook up the meat!

Mother, can we talk after?

Master...

Of course. I wanted to talk as well.

When did we last bathe together?

Tama, how's the water?

Mother, I still can't believe you'll be on the battlefield...

Are you worried?

I get it, though! I know we all need to help. That I'm being selfish.

But what if something happened to you?

I know how you feel.

I was worried when you left home, too.

You were?

But I had watched you train.

And I wanted to be supportive.

I believe my powers manifest from a desire to keep this village safe for you to return to.

My power is as strong as that desire.

That must be it.

She unlocked a new skill the same as my master did–to protect what she holds dear.

Do you think you can be supportive of me this time?

Me?

Yes.

Just as you have grown, so have I.

Let's work together to defend our home.

Mother...

Tama, are you saying you'll look after her?

What a brave knight, small as you are.

Wow, she's good with her hands!

I'm in heaven!

Thank you, Tama.

I feel ready now.

Let us defend Lumines together!

Together.

I... can't breathe!

A knight can't die before the battle!

What's that?

I can't hear them!

Don't push!

What are you all doing here?

You were acting purr-etty strange and had us worried.

We're here if you need to talk!

But you'll have to let me hold Tama!

My, what lovely friends you have.

It's true!

I wanted to take a walk and stay on guard, but I can't move...

Oh, stop, Tama! It's so wrong to have your way with me in your holy beast form!

M-Master? What are you dreaming about?

I wonder what she's dreaming about.

Her mother is awake?

Tama, thank you for always protecting her.

You're all she writes about in her letters these days.

You might be the reason she's grown so much.

I deserve no such kind words.

My master has come this far through her own hard work.

I'm sorry to ask this of one as young as you,

but do please care for her.

But of course! I will defend her till the life is taken from me!

Hmph!

That's far enough.

Alisha the Sword Saint...

I figured Vasaago's pawns would try to sneak in.

How did you know?

Your disguise was impeccable.

A gift of the Demon King, I'm sure.

However...

that wicked flame in your eye could not be fully subdued.

ALISHA!

Lord Vasaago...

I will inform the town that a demon intruder was eliminated.

The Philosopher's Stone...

Hmm?

Excellent work, Gusiona.

It's time to march!

They're here! We're under attack!

There are too many...

What's that bell?

Mother!

It's finally time!

What is it?

The demons are coming...

Let's go.

Begin!

FIRE!

They've come.

Lord Elvun, lead your people to safety!

It will be done!

Master, lend me your power.

Engage–Black Prison!

FIRE!

Is that a darkness barrier?

Their attacks...

They're vanishing!

That's Alisha's work!

What incredible power!

She's made a massive barrier all alone!

Brave soldiers!

The battle is upon us.

The fate of Lumines–of the whole world is in our hands!

We must stop the demons' advance at all costs!

Only we can reclaim tomorrow–and hope!

CHARGE!

Just from touching it?!

Do not falter! We can make as many monsters as we need.

Push on!

My Black Prison will hold most of them off.

The rest will have to handle those who slip by.

All gate defenders, march!

That's the call to battle!

I wanted to fight alongside my darling...

The captain will be here soon enough!

Leo, this is it!

Aria, it's time.

Mother, please be safe.

Blessing of the Lion King!

Thanks for the purr-tection!

I can't wait!

No turning back now!

We will defend the village!

Tama, everyone, it's time!

I feel the pulse of your breath, the warmth

Our special life is here

Hey, getting close to try and show

I like that lack of confidence

I must be so happy now

Inside a cage of destiny no one can know

behind you

Laughing and crying a little

My purpose is born again by your hands

Look, (look) see?

I love you

I love you

I love you

Once this battle is over,

I want to introduce Tama to the whole village.

He's my knight and my future...

If you've made up your mind, I fully support it.

Thank you, Mother!

Did she just give the full go-ahead?
