Kris	Let's...try this one more time.
Kris	Yes...let's.
Kris	My name is Kris. I'm a soldier in the 7th Platoon of Altea's army.
Kris	My name is also Kris. I'm also a soldier in the 7th Platoon of Altea's army.
Kris	What is the name of the village you grew up in?
Kris	Sera. Who is your grandfather?
Kris	MacLear.
Kris	Our lives are...identical.
Kris	It seems so.
Julian	Same names, titles, histories... Only difference between you is gender. Neat. What do you think, Lena?
Lena	At a glance, they are different people. But looking closely... They do seem to have the same presence.
Kris	Let's try some deeper questions. How do you prefer to deal with your injuries?
Kris	Training right through them is the only thing that's comfortable. What was your grandfather's wish for you?
Kris	"Kris, become the sword of Altea. Acquire an unbreakable strength and devotion."
Kris	We are the same person.
Kris	Two different worlds, but the same exact life experiences...
Julian	Askr's never short on surprises.
Lena	From what I understand, this sort of occurrence is actually rather commonplace here... Kris, Kris, I look forward to working with both of you moving forward.
Kris	Julian, Lena, it's very good to see you both. Let's continue to combine our strength together on the field.
Julian	Ah, well...for us, this is actually more of a first meeting, since the Kris in our world was... Oh, that's not important! It's great to meet you.
Kris	You mean the Kris you knew was a man. Both of you?
Lena	Yes, that's right.
Kris	So no one here is actually... from my own world? To you I am only some kind of... alternate version?

クリス	生まれ育った村の名前は？

ジュリアン	名前も生い立ちもまったく一緒。 違うのは姿形と性別だけ… レナさんはどう思う？
レナ	たしかに姿形と性別は違いますが お二人とも雰囲気が似ていますね…
クリス	質問を続けさせてくれ。 身体が痛いときは、どうやって治す？
クリス	そうね、訓練して治すことにしてる。 こちらからも質問するわ。 祖父から言われていた言葉は？
クリス	『クリスよ、アリティアの剣となれ。 決して折れぬ力と忠義を身につけよ』
クリス	間違いないわ。私たちは… 違う世界からやってきたクリスなのね。
クリス	ああ、そうみたいだな。 それにしても… ここまで同じ運命を辿ったとは。
ジュリアン	驚いたな… 男女二人のクリスさんが アスク王国にいるなんて。
レナ	ええ。でも、そうしたことは このアスク王国では珍しいことでは ないようですし… 二人のクリスさん。 今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。
クリス	ジュリアン殿、レナ殿… 私も二人に出会えてうれしいです。 また力を合わせて戦っていきましょう。
ジュリアン	えっと、そのことなんだけど… オレたちが知っているのは 男のほうのクリスさんなんだ。 女のクリスさんは、はじめてで…
クリス	えっ？
レナ	はい、わたしが知っているのも 男のほうのクリスさんで…
クリス	じゃあ、私のことを知っている人は この世界にはいないっていうこと？ ……

Kris	They went that way! Circle 'round for a pincer attack!
Kris	Way ahead of you! Yah!
Anna	Some spirited training happening here. Their fighting styles are so alike too. It's uncanny.
Julian	Yeah, this isn't surprising. The Kris we knew in our world always trained insanely hard.
Lena	Their grandfathers instilled this in them, as did a number of near-death experiences, I hear. It seems that's just one more detail they both share.
Anna	That's right—you two were only acquainted with one of the Krises. To my eyes, they're almost exactly the same. Posture, bearing, attitude, swordplay, footwork... The difference in gender is nothing compared to the similarities.
Kris	Time for a breather, I think.
Kris	Sounds good. ...
Kris	Does it still bother you, not having anyone here from your own world?
Kris	I'm fine. Fighting for Askr's peace is far more important than a sentimental thing like that.
Kris	I'm sure that Heroes from your platoonwill be summoned here eventually. It's only a matter of time.
Kris	Maybe you're right. I'd like that. Anyway, enough rest for now. Let's get back to it!
Kris	Right.

ジュリアン	男のクリスさんは アリティアにいたときから とんでもない訓練をしてたからな。
レナ	おじいさまに鍛えられて 何度も死にかけた…と聞きました。 それほど、苦しい訓練を 自らに課してきたのでしょう。
アンナ	あなたたちは男のクリスしか 知らないと言ってたわよね？ でも、姿形や性別は別にして 二人は本当に似ているわね。 剣の振り方、足のさばき方が 同じ人物みたいに見えるわ。
クリス	クリス、休憩にしようか。 ここらでひと息入れよう。
クリス	ええ、わかったわ。 ……
クリス	…まだ気にしているのか？ 君を知る人物がこの世界に いないってことに。
クリス	ううん、大丈夫よ。 今は自分のことよりも アスク王国の平和のために 尽くすことが大事だから。

Julian	If there's anything I can do for you, Lena, I hope you won't hesitate to let me know.
Lena	Thank you, Julian. You are as kind and thoughtful as ever.
Julian	Learned from the best. You're always thinking of others. Don't think I don't see you fretting over the new Kris.
Lena	Ah... I just worry about her. To her, we were so immediately familiar...but to us, at first, she was almost a stranger. It had to hurt.
Julian	Yeah, but we got past that pretty quick. And did you hear her version of the story of how she met us? It was exactly what I remember. She helped us save you in exactly the same way our Kris did, Lena. Every detail was identical. Don't get hung up on appearances. She's the same person.
Lena	I know that. And I feel the same kindness from both of them. Their spirits are indistinguishable.
Julian	Yeah. So, if they're the same... Let's just treat them the same.
Lena	You're right, of course. No matter their gender or appearance, Kris has always been a Hero worthy of our complete trust. Let us pray that she is as blessed by Askr as Askr is blessed by her.

Kris	Whether the friends I knew come to this world or not...my goals remain the same. I will support Prince Marth. I will fight for the people of Askr. I will do what must be done.
Marth	Hello, Kris. I hope I'm not intruding.
Kris	Prince Marth! Of course not. What can I do for you?
Marth	I need nothing but for you to listen. There is something I think you need to hear. And that is...I know you.
Kris	You do? Does that mean... Are you the Prince Marth from my world?!
Marth	No, unfortunately I'm not. However... I don't believe I need to be. Hair, skin, face, body...none of these details of physical appearance matter at all to me. Kris and I fought and bled together. Kris and I share an unbreakable bond. And I know that you are Kris.
Kris	It's...a little strange to hear you say it like that, but it pleases me to hear.
Marth	Whatever world you come from, I have faith that you are the same Kris I've always known. You'll take up your sword to protect the people. You'll support me with wise counsel and a will of steel. Your spirit is the same, whatever physical body it may occupy.
Kris	I could not agree more, Prince Marth. We may be from different worlds, but we share the same spirit.
Julian	Glad we're all on the same page. Personally, I'll take as many Krises as I can get. The more the merrier.
Lena	I feel the same way. I trust in you completely, Kris. Please think of us in the same way as you thought of your companions in the world you came from.
Kris	Thank you, Prince Marth. Thank you, everyone.
Marth	Now, I hope I can count on both of you to lend me your strength in bringing peace to Askr.
Kris	Upon my sword, Prince Marth, for you and for Askr, I will always be prepared to fight.
Kris	Upon my sword, Prince Marth, I swear the same. I will not rest until Askr knows peace.

Kris	Sir Jagen!
Jagen	Ah, Kris! Found your way to Askr at last, I see.
Kris	Indeed I have...if only just. It is rather overwhelming, to be honest. I hardly know my way around. But I'm glad to see you well! I must say, I'm feeling reassured already. If there is any guidance you could provide me, I would eagerly receive it.
Jagen	I can tell at a glance that you don't need any advice from me, Kris. You have grown into a fine knight. No matter what danger befalls you here, I've no doubt that you will shield Prince Marth from it.
Kris	Yes, of course. Upon my life.
Jagen	You may have already seen this for yourself, but the people of Askr are much like those of Altea. They are this kingdom's greatest treasure. And they are constantly under threat.
Kris	Then let us work to bring peace to this land just as we did in Altea. It is a knight's duty to protect the people, and I am prepared to do it.
Jagen	I know. When the war of Heroes came to an end, you disappeared to support Prince Marth in the shadows.
Kris	...
Jagen	I am not the only one in Askr who remembers. There are other knights of Altea here. Even Katarina.
Kris	Katarina... That is a name I did not expect to hear.

Katarina	Kris! Is it really you?!
Kris	Katarina. It is indeed. After all this time... It's wonderful to see you.
Katarina	Now that you're here, I can finally continue my quest for redemption. I know I can never make up for my betrayal of you and Prince Marth, but I do not feel right unless I can try. For that reason, I have searched for you constantly since my arrival here in Askr. I'd begun to think I'd never succeed.
Kris	Katarina...
Katarina	There is only one thing that continues to trouble me.
Kris	What is it?
Katarina	Askr's libraries are comprehensive and vast. They record the exploits of Heroes from other worlds in detail. Kris... Your name does not appear anywhere in their records. Not once.
Kris	Ah.
Katarina	That isn't strange to you? You accomplished more in the War of Heroes than almost anyone. Why are your deeds not documented? Princess Sharena has a compendium of all Heroes, and even she could not explain it to me. It's as if you never existed.
Kris	I think I may be able to explain this. It was my wish, after the war, that my name and deeds not be venerated by history. If I am not mentioned in these records, it is likely because I asked not to be.
Katarina	Why would you do that?
Kris	I don't want to be called a hero. It is better if that title is bestowed on others instead of me. My place is in the shadows.

Kris: Unknown Hero - A

Nameplate	Text
Background image: 002_PlainForestInside
Kris	Prince Marth, when this war is over, the people will be in need of a hero. After so many years of fighting, they will be restless. The slightest provocation could lead to chaos. In a climate like that, it is essential that they have someone to put on a pedestal. Someone to be an ideal. It has to be you, Prince Marth.
Kris	I told him what needed to be done, then I took my leave from the world stage.
Katarina	You thought it best to disappear...
Kris	Prince Marth was opposed to the idea at first. It was against his instinct for fairness. For the people's sake, however, he was persuaded to accept his role as their savior.
Katarina	Even so...there's something odd about this. Askr is reliant on its records for information about all its Heroes from other worlds. If you are absent from them, how was [Summoner] able to summon you?
Kris	Interesting question. I don't know. Maybe I can ask my counterpart. She might know something that I don't.
Kris	Nope. Sorry.
Kris	Kris!
Kris	And sorry for eavesdropping too. Couldn't help myself. I'm still feeling like the odd one out here. I've been wondering the same thing, though. We're from two different worlds, so it can't be just a fluke.
Katarina	It should be impossible. How did the both of you get here?
Sharena	Hi! I can answer that!
Katarina	Princess Sharena?

Sharena	The latest version of my compendium actually does have Kris in it!
Katarina	It does? But how? The last time I went to the library, the name Kris wasn't even mentioned in there!
Sharena	That's right, Katarina. And what did you do when you discovered that? You came and told me all about it. You told me all about Kris's life!
Katarina	Of course I did. Askr needs to know that Prince Marth had a valuable friend at his side to support him at every step of the way!
Sharena	Now that you mention it, there was someone else who felt strongly that Kris's name deserved to be known. He made quite a passionate plea that Kris ought to go down in history as a true Hero.
Kris	You mean...
Sharena	Yup. Prince Marth. In your world, he reluctantly agreed to allow your name to be forgotten by history. But he has always felt strongly that your deeds should be recognized.
Kris	...
Sharena	He respected your wishes because of the unique situation in Altea. But this is Askr. The specifics of that situation don't apply here. There is absolutely no reason you can't be known here as the Hero you truly are.
Kris	So you added our information to your compendium based on what Prince Marth and Katarina told you...
Sharena	And a few others. Yup.
Kris	So it's thanks largely to Katarina and Prince Marth that we were able to be summoned here.
Sharena	Right you are! One look at the compendium and [Summoner] was certain you'd be a great help.
Kris	And that caused both of us to be summoned here. Not just him. So that means...
Kris	We're exactly the same person, and our spirits are indistinguishable. There's no other explanation.
Katarina	Princess Sharena... Thank you. Thank you for helping me and Kris reunite.
Sharena	Oh, I hardly did a thing. It was thanks to the unbreakable bond that you, Kris, and Prince Marth share.
Kris	Prince Marth, Katarina, and the summoner, [Summoner]...
Kris	Let us swear to do all we can to meet and exceed your expectations of us. To make this world a better place.
Kris	Yes. On our honor and our lives, we will fight for Askr!

Ylgr	Come on, come on... Why won't you open?
Julian	Princess Ylgr, wasn't it? You look like you're having some trouble.
Ylgr	Ah! You're one of the new Heroes.
Julian	Julian's the name. Not sure how heroic I am. Used to be a thief, in fact. Got better, though.
Ylgr	You used to be a thief? Oh! Does that mean you could open this chest for me?
Julian	So a stubborn lock is what's got you all flustered? Let me see. Just that little box, huh? Sure, no trouble at all.
Ylgr	Really? You wouldn't mind? Thanks so much! I can't find the key, and I don't know how to pick a lock, so...
Julian	Give it here and I'll take a closer look. Hmm... Iron exterior. Sturdy little thing, aren't you... Still, nothing these trusty old picks can't handle. Let me just... Hmm, why doesn't that... Aw, come on! Hey, you're a lot tougher than you look!
Ylgr	So... Can you open it?
Julian	I can, but I'll need some time. Can I borrow it for a while? Promise I won't run off with it or anything.
Ylgr	Sure, sure.
Julian	I'll take good care of it. And don't worry. I've never met a lock that bested me.

Chad	Fancy little chest you got there. Who'd you lift it from?
Julian	Hey, it's not like that! Princess Ylgr entrusted me with this. She lost the key, that's all. I promised to get it open for her.
Gaius	What's taking so long, then? Just pick the lock. Here, let me do it. Huh—that's odd. Must have slipped. No, there it is again. I see your problem now. This is a weird one.
Julian	Right?! It looks simple from the outside, but it's really complicated in there! I've never seen this kind of lock before. Maybe it's unique to her homeland or something. Either way, I promised to get it open and that's what I'm gonna do. Soon as I figure out how...

Julian	Yeah, I was afraid you'd say that.

Julian	Out of the question. Princess Ylgr trusted me with this. I'm not going to break it.
Gaius	Seems we're at a loss then.
Niles	I have to admit, such an intricate lock has made me very curious as to what's inside.
Julian	I didn't ask. It must be something precious to her, though... I'll bring it up while I update her on our latest failures.
Ylgr	You want to know what's inside? Sure, I don't mind telling you. It's a memento of my mother. My country, Nifl, was...destroyed by Múspell. When that happened, we ran and...this chest was all I could carry.
Julian	I'm so sorry.
Ylgr	I'm not lonely here, because I've got the Order of Heroes, and because I've got my sister, Fjorm. But there are lots and lots of great memories of my mother in here, so I have a little piece of home too! So even though it's just a small thing, I'm really glad I was able to take it with me.
Julian	All the more reason for me to get this open for you. I gave you my word, Princess Ylgr, and after what you've told me there's no way I'll give up. I'll keep my promise, no matter what.

Chad	Yeah...
Julian	The memories inside this chest are precious and irreplaceable. I gave her my word we'd get it open, and that's what we're gonna do. So let's put our heads together and come up with something. There's got to be a way!
Gaius	When all else fails, it's back to basics. We need to know the shape of the lock, so let's take an impression.
Julian	Great idea. If we can impression a mold, we can make ourselves a key.
Chad	I've got the kind of clay we'll need for that in town. I'll run and get it!
Julian	Now we're getting somewhere...
Julian	All right, here's our key. Let's hope this works... Yes! It fits! What a relief—we did it!
Chad	Some kind of charm, huh? Shaped like a star. Pretty.
Gaius	A gift from Princess Ylgr's mother, I'm guessing.
Julian	We've got what we needed. Let's bring this to her.
Ylgr	You did it! You got it open! I thought it was going to be impossible! Oh, I'm so glad! Thank you so, so, much!
Julian	That lock was tough, but the smile on Princess Ylgr's face made it worth the effort. We did a good thing.
Chad	Thieving skills aren't just for thieving. They can help folks too.
Julian	A better reason than most to keep my fingers nimble. I may have washed my hands of that life, but I'd hate to lose my touch over a thing like this.
Fjorm	Excuse me... Forgive the interruption, but can you spare a moment?
Julian	Princess Fjorm! What is it?
Fjorm	My sister tells me you can open any lock. If it's not too much trouble, could you take a look at another one? This chest won't open no matter what I do...

Julian	Here's some hot water! Need more?
Lena	Thank you so much. Would you mind getting one more bucket, just in case?
Julian	No sweat. How's the mom? Still bad?
Lena	Worse, I'm afraid. Her condition has put her into labor prematurely. I'm doing all I can with my healing staff, but she is in a lot of pain.
Julian	Ah—heads up! There's a black pegasus headed this way. Wait, is that Princess Eir?
Eir	It is. We've come to lend a hand. I thought Midori's expertise would be useful here, so I brought her to you with all speed.
Midori	Happy to be of service! Show me to the patient!
Lena	Princess Eir! Midori! We will gladly accept your aid. This way.
Midori	Yeah, she's definitely in a lot of pain.
Lena	She is fighting, though. For her child's sake, she is holding on.
Midori	I'll start with a sedative to make her more comfortable. For the rest... I'm going to need fresh water. The cleanest we can find.
Eir	I know a place.
Lena	Princess Eir?
Eir	We passed over a mountain spring to the north on our way here. I could reach it quickly.
Lena	That would be greatly appreciated.
Midori	I'll start mixing the medicine!
Julian	I'll fetch that second bucket.
Lena	Thank you, everyone. With all your help, we have a chance. Let's give it all we've got. No one needs to die today!

Lena	Once again, I cannot thank you enough, Princess Eir. Without you, Midori, and Julian, we would not have been able to bring this new life into the world.
Eir	And your friend? Is she...?
Lena	She is stable and recovering! Thanks to the fresh spring water you brought, Midori's medicine was very effective.
Eir	What matters is that the newborn child will know the warm embrace of a mother. I am...glad.
Lena	Me too. Even if the worst should happen later...even if the baby retains no memory of it... The warmth of a parent leaves an indelible mark upon a child's heart.
Eir	Perhaps someday I will be able to pass such warmth on to another...
Lena	Of that I have no doubt. You have experienced it for yourself now. It will come naturally.
Eir	I do hope so. I think it would make me...happy.
Lena	Everyone knows that Heroes have the power to change history. But history is more than a series of big events. It is an amalgam of each and every life, pieced together. When you consider it that way, the weight of every life is equal. I never want to think of anyone as expendable.
Eir	We must not only protect life, but also cultivate it...
Lena	Absolutely. Princess Eir, let us always ensure that the lives of others are able to thrive in our care.
Eir	Of course. Thank you, Lena. This will be...a learning opportunity for me.

Kris	All right. That should be enough preparations for the moment.
Kris	Hello, Kris! What are you up to over here?
Kris	Great timing, Kris! I was just about to go looking for you. I thought we could help with the cooking. There seems to be a need for more food lately, so I'm thinking we can make a big pot of soup.
Kris	Oh, wonderful. I'd love to help out. Are you, uh... Are you sure this is wise, though? If we're really the same person, that must mean we share the same cooking skill...or lack thereof.
Kris	I will admit to some mishaps in the past, but...it's just soup! How hard could it be? Caeda's taught me a few things since then, and I've had plenty of time to practice. It'll turn out fine. Look, I've got a sample batch ready to taste now. See for yourself.
Kris	I...could do that, sure, but... Oh no. I know that smell. Trust me, I've made this exact same soup before. It's awful, OK? It's like burnt iron. We can't serve this to people.
Fjorm	What is that aroma? Oh, Kris! And... Kris! Are you cooking something?
Kris	Princess Fjorm! Indeed we are. To help support the camp, we're making our signature soup.
Fjorm	I must say, I am very curious what a special soup from you two would taste like. May I?
Kris	Please do! This batch is particularly good, if I do say so myself.
Fjorm	Thank you very much. Ah, the scent certainly is...intriguing.
Kris	This is all too familiar...
Fjorm	Here goes... Oh, it's... I'm...
Kris	Princess Fjorm! Are you OK?! Oh, no! I knew I should have stopped her! She's dead on her feet, Kris! We've killed her!
Kris	Relax. She's fine. How is it, Princess Fjorm? Uh, hello? Can you hear me?
Fjorm	Oh, yes. Sorry to...alarm you. I am, as it happens...still alive. Though after tasting that, I admit... For a moment, I wasn't so sure. I felt as if my spirit had left my body...
Kris	Sounds about right. Here, have some water.
Fjorm	Thank you...
Kris	Forgive me, Princess Fjorm. I was certain I'd done well this time. The soup had such an appetizing color...
Kris	Right? That's what I said! I always thought color was the surest way to judge a soup!
Kris	It's clear we have a lot to learn...

Kris	It should be clear enough to you now that our cooking is...terrible. But plenty of folks in the castle are great cooks. Why don't we ask one of them to instruct us?
Kris	Good idea. Hmm... What about castle servants? Cooking is a key aspect of their job, after all. I run into them around the castle frequently. Let's go find one!
Felicia	You want to learn to cook? Easy! Leave it to me—a perfectly capable and totally competent maid!
Kris	Oh, that's um...great! Did you hear that, Kris? "Totally competent" is just what we need!
Kris	Yeah. Anyone with the confidence to call herself "perfectly capable" has to be good, right? Thank you, Felicia.
Jakob	What nonsense is this? Felicia, "totally competent?" Her work is an affront to the very notion of service.
Felicia	Jakob!
Jakob	Telling someone to learn cooking from her could be considered a form of poisoning.
Felicia	Hey! I've never poisoned anyone on purpose, I'll have you know!
Jakob	Sabotage, then. Cooking with her would be a fantastic way to learn to annihilate a kitchen. Hmm. This gives me a thought... I'd always considered it advantageous to keep my culinary secrets to myself, but perhaps teaching others... Yes, I am certain that providing this service would increase the master's renown in this world! Very well, I will impart to you my culinary expertise. Please direct your appreciation to my employer, Corrin. Now then, allow me to get a sense of your current skill. Make for me your very best dish.
Kris	Understood! Let's get to it, Kris!
Kris	You won't be disappointed!
Jakob	...
Felicia	...
Jakob	Perhaps this is a misunderstanding. I asked you to prepare food, not... whatever this is. Chopped laundry?
Kris	It's a stew! We made a stew.
Kris	That's right. Our signature stew.
Felicia	Even I know that stew's supposed to have water in it! This is... Yep, this is rock solid! This stew is even more disgusting than mine. I didn't think that was possible!
Jakob	The only impossibility here is one of improvement. I'm afraid you are beyond my help.
Kris	No! Don't say that!
Jakob	That is not to say it is a lost cause. In fact, I know someone who may be able to help you. Yes... Surely even this devastating culinary weakness is not beyond his ability to correct...

Oscar	Ah. So you'd like to learn to cook. My work with Greil Mercenaries has called on all sorts of skills, but I have to say, this is a first.
Kris	Jakob suggested you might be able to help us overcome our "devastating culinary weakness." His words.
Oscar	I'm certainly willing to try. Why don't you start with a simple soup? I'll give you an ingredients list.
Kris	We'll get it this time, Kris!
Kris	All finished!
Oscar	Okay, let's give it a taste. ... Now I understand what the others were saying about rusty old iron.
Kris	Again?! Ugh, what a shame.
Oscar	Maybe it would help you to see me make a soup using the exact same stuff. Let's try that.
Oscar	Sorry to keep you waiting. Here you are—enjoy.
Kris	How did you make this so delicious?! The flavor is so subtle...
Kris	Mmm, I feel warm all over! This is amazing, Oscar!
Oscar	I glad you both like it. Let me ask you something. What do you two think about when you cook?
Kris	Not much, really. Just hoping that it tastes good, I guess.
Kris	Yeah. Or not terrible, at least.
Oscar	Hmm. For me, what's even more important than taste is how happy people will be when they're eating it. I look forward to people's pleased reactions. Their smiling faces. That's what motivates me.
Kris	I hadn't consider that...
Kris	Me either...
Oscar	No one is born a good cook—least of all me. I was awful at it...until I had to feed two younger brothers. Pleasing them was difficult, but all the hard work was worth it to me.
Kris	That makes a lot of sense.
Oscar	Everyone wants the food they make to taste delicious, but a great cook aspires to more than that. Imagine the bigger picture. Think of the people you care about seated at the table, enjoying what you've made.
Kris	That's a beautiful image. I'd never thought to envision it before.
Oscar	Once your heart is in the right place, skill is sure to follow.
Kris	So we just have to put heart into it! Thank you, Oscar! I hope you'll continue to teach us!
