Anastasia:  “Still, I didn’t know there was such a distinction when it comes to dragon’s blood… Incidentally, if we had the Holy Dragon here die for us and took its heart’s blood…”

Julius:  “L-Lady Anastasia? !”

Anastasia:  “Kidding, just kidding. Don’t get mad, Julius. I wasn’t serious.” Anastasia raised her hands and quickly walked back her suggestion once she saw Julius’s wide-eyed reaction. The joke caught Emilia by surprise, but she was naturally against that idea, too.

Emilia:  “I don’t think it’s right to sacrifice Volcanica to do it.”

Anastasia:  “Fine, fine. It’s not like I’m eager to do it, either… It’s just a possibility,” Anastasia said, sticking out her tongue.

Echidna:  “Dear, oh dear,” Echidna sighed from around Anastasia’s neck. “Anyway, let’s review. There was some great dragon who was Volcanica’s equal in the past, and the dragon’s blood in Lugunica Castle comes from that dragon. Volcanica swore a covenant with the royal family of Lugunica and gave them that blood as a sign of friendship. That’s the truth behind the history, then?”

Anastasia:  “Now that dragons are almost entirely extinct, it would be difficult to confirm, I suppose. But yes, it’s true.”

Anastasia:  “The Holy Dragon is right here, though. If we can’t have the lifeblood of a dragon, then we can at least get some fresh blood from the Holy Dragon and see if we can help the people in Pristella.”

Anastasia:  “According to the legends, a single drop of the dragon’s blood in the castle could restore vast swaths of land, so maybe it will make a powerful medicine?”

Beatrice:  “Fresh blood and heart blood are different things, I suppose. But there is no proof that simply pouring it on something will have an effect. It’s nothing more than a starting point for figuring out a treatment,”

Anastasia:  “It’s still a major step forward compared to not having any idea of what to do next. If it really can be an elixir that works on anything, then it’s worth investigating.” As she listened to them talk, Emilia began to feel some hope again.

Emilia:  “Mm-hmm, okay. In that case, let’s try asking Volcanica. We might not be able to communicate, and there’s a chance they’ll go berserk again if we try to take their blood, but it’s still worth a try.”

Beatrice:  “All that sounds less than appealing… Emilia, you should have been recognized as the new administrator of the Pleiades Watchtower, yes? Can you not use that somehow, I wonder?”

Emilia:  “The administrator… I don’t really feel any different, though…” After they’d all solved the riddle of the third floor, Emilia had gotten past Reid on the second floor and demonstrated her will to Volcanica on the first.
