Umbraton is a city of freedom, but should freedom have boundaries? No one can say.

Soldiers are very different from mercenaries. Executing orders is mandatory, whereas the observance of credibility is a choice.

Shadows... They're everywhere, watching you.

Sorry, but Eclipsites do not count as life to me. I feel nothing when I see their corpses.

Allura likes things that convey a sense of time. I discovered this a long time ago.

Istvan... Whether it's maintaining the balance between gangs or communication between people, there are many things I can learn from him.

Insects, like Aurorians, are products of nature. All creatures should have the right to break free from their cocoons and become butterflies.

Those who do not respect life, do not deserve to live.

I hear it's a mixture of machinery and biology...? What a magnificent structure...

This could be used as a mercenary contact point.

Please wait until I hand over the last bit... Alright, now I can execute your commission wholeheartedly.

I must work harder...

This is the might of a mercenary squad!

Fog of death!

Exterminate!

Life is eternal!

Your commission is very welcome.

They are silently clinging on to me.

Unite and prosper!

New life... shall constantly be born!

This place is so neat and tidy... Can I let my little friends out for a while? Uh... As long as you're not afraid of them, that is.

The White Flame Mercenaries are growing stronger.

Alchemy Stars.

Happy New Year! I hope everything goes ever more smoothly in the new year.

What is our new commission? When will it be delivered? Please rest assured that I will complete it promptly.

Umbraton has no laws to enforce or rules of survival to memorize. There is only credibility. This is the reason I will always be here.

So that more people know of us and believe in our might, we need to become a more influential organization... Huh? Sorry, I didn't see you there.

More commission means we'll need more members... but that also means more casualties. At this stage, however, we must learn to choose. So, let's choose to take on more commissions.

Are you looking at my cloak? If you must know, I painted it myself. If you like it, I can paint a copy for you when I finish processing this commission.

The White Flame Mercenaries survive in Umbraton through their credibility. This makes us very different from organizations and nations guided by public power.

Are you... looking at my mask? I have been wearing it since I was very young. It was a souvenir left to me by my senior.

I used to be so disgusted with underground dealings... but I have outgrown those feelings. Cooperation with them brought us much more profit. Moreover, many of my men still rely on this to fill their bellies.

Can I paint a portrait for you? Don't underestimate my painting skills. Sometimes, I can even make deals with underground gangs through my artwork.

I respect the rules of Umbraton. Although some transactions... Forget it. It is precisely why that my mercenary squad exists.

I saw some little things flying around here... Do you like bugs, too?

I am very grateful to the commander of the White Flame Mercenaries for his care and support. Without him, I would not be who I am today.

Happy New Year! I hope everything goes ever more smoothly in the new year.

You must work very hard here... Please make sure you balance work and rest. As for how to relax... would you like to see my butterflies?

Good morning. It's good to see you up so early—this means that your sleep schedule is quite different from that of most mercenaries. You're healthy.

The night rises... This is a good time to complete a commission.

It's late. You must know that some creatures were not born to be up at such an hour.

Happy New Year! I hope everything goes ever more smoothly in the new year.

Hello, I'm Luke. Can I help you with something? Please rest assured that any commissions you entrust to me will be handled professionally.

Thank you. I'll put it on my desk.

I've always wanted one of these... I don't know how to thank you.

Whatever commission I pursue, I will take this with me.

I will treasure it. Please give me a chance to return your kindness.

Suffocate beneath this power!

Shackles! Unlock!

They are all under my control!

Waiting is never easy, especially when you know that the person you're waiting for will never come back. Fortunately, those days have passed, and I will never dream of that night again.

The Commander is not only a wonderful father, he is also a competent leader. Under his instruction, I have come to fully understand that he who speaks without conviction can never succeed.

Are you curious about the origin of my ability? It's actually very simple—because I respect life, and life respects me. I live in peace with all life.

I will strengthen this team!
