Prologue: Intro

(This plays after entering Prologue Level 1, before the battle begins.)

Lamp: We must find the Summoner quickly, as soon as possible...

Match: You really believe that Summoner is in such a place like this?

Lamp: D...Don't say something like that! We don't have any other methods aside from this right now.

Match: Methods, huh... You mean finding a Summoner that we don't even know whether that person exists?

Lamp: ....You agreed to do this when we left the Temple, didn't you, Match?

Match: Well I also thought the Temple's methods of doing things was wrong at that time,

Match: but I never thought you'd trust some ambiguous legend.

Lamp: ....Even so, we're the only ones that can do something about this.

Match: That may be true.... For the time being, let's get some rest. We've been wandering for a while now, haven't we?

Lamp: We don't have time for that! We have to be quick... Hurry! We have to find the Summoner... (fell)

Match: Lamp!? Ahhh, I told you so. Can someone helpーThere wouldn't be anyone in a place like this now, would it....

(Rustling)

Lamp: Huh? Match.... was it you just now?

Match: No, it wasn't the sound of me standing just then... Eh? That's wasn't you, either?

(Rustling)

Lamp: The sounds are getting louder....?

Match: What in the world is thaー It wouldn't be... A monster!?

(Rustling)

(Kirara appears)

Kirara: ...Umm, are you two okay?

Match: ...A person?

Kirara: Eh? Yes, I'm indeed a person...

Match: ...what a relief. Mind giving us a hand? My companion collapsed and we're in a pinch.

Kirara: Of courseー You okay? Do you need some water?

Lamp: Umm.... (stomach growls)

Kirara: Ahaha, perhaps you need a meal as well.

Lamp: I'm sorry about that... You are?

Kirara: I'm Kirara. As for the food... I don't have anything fancy except for simple foods, but please have it if you like. Ummー

Lamp: ...I'm Lamp. Uh, are you really fine about that? Kirara-san wouldn't have much left after this...

Kirara: Ah, don't worry about that. Here you go.

Lamp: Thank you so much... (munch)

Match: It's impressive that you managed to find us here. This path pretty much leads to the outside, right?

Kirara: I felt that someone was in here... It's common for someone unfamiliar with here to wander astray.

Match: That would be us...Thank you, you're a real help. Ah, pardon me. I'm Match. Nice to meet you, Kirara.

Kirara: Same to you. Nice to meet you two as well, Lamp and Match.

(time passes)

Kirara: By the way, why did you two come to a place like this?

Kirara: This might be strange coming from a local, but there's nothing here, you know?

Lamp: ...We came in search for the Summoner.

Kirara: Summoner... Perhaps you mean the one from the legends?

Lamp: Eh!? Kirara-san, you've heard about it?

Match: You knew this!?

Kirara: Y...Yeah. Legend says that the village around here is where the Summoner lived, or something like that.

Lamp: In other words, the Summoner is really around here somewhere, right! I knew we were on the right track, Match!

Match: Calm down now, Lamp. You've just determined it's here without seeing the Summoner itself, haven't you?

Kirara: Umm...Yeah... I haven't seen it myself either, maybe...

Match: I knew it. This legend is nothing more than a fairy tale...

Kirara: Sorry... but why the two of you are looking for the Summoner?

Lamp: ...There are those who wish to be summoned by it.

Kirara: "Those"?

Lamp: The Crea Mates.

Lamp: The Summoner possesses the magic "Call", which can bring these girls over into this world.

Kirara: Crea Mates... those from the Scriptures?

Lamp: You knew about it! Excellent! Yes! It's exactly that! Do you like it? You do like it right? I love it a lot!

Kirara: Y..Yeah...but not really, I can't remember the contents well.... Um, Match what's up with her?

Match: Pay no attention to her. Lamp is so obsessed with the Scriptures that she can't stop herself, it has become more like an illness.

Lamp: It's not an illness! It's just that I love it a lot! I will continue this time.

Lamp: The Call is a magic that asks the Crea Mates for their powers and acquire them. This magic is really like a fantasy!

Kirara: Then perhaps, you are looking for the Summoner, because you love the Crea Mates as well?

Lamp: N..No I don't! Of course, I think I'd really love to try talking with them...

Lamp: but if we are unable to find the Summoner, this world will be in great danger!

Match: That's why we left the Temple, and came all the way here.

Kirara: ......Umm, what do you mean?

(Heartbeat)

Kirara: ...!? That just now....

Lamp: Kirara-san, is there something wrong?

Kirara: N...No, it's nothing. It's just...I had a strange feelingー

Kirara: It's...probably because you just said that the world might be facing a great danger soon.

Kirara: That... Is the danger happening right now, or is it something that might happen in current times?

Lamp: Have you noticed something?

Kirara: Noticed... Yeah, I felt it.

Kirara: ...Umm, I suppose I have to apologise first. I'm sorry. It wasn't a coincidence that I met you two.

Kirara: From a long time ago, how should I say this...I was able to feel the connections between people.

Kirara: Just now, I somehow felt the bonds between 2 people, so I came and see what was going on.

Match: Impossible...so that's what you wanted to say, but to think if there's any actual help you can provide us that we can utilise....

Lamp: Match, perhaps what Kirara-san was feeling, was the "Path"...

Match: The "Path"!? That's impossible....though, there's no denying it, either.

Kirara: "Path"....?

Match: ....that's what we call the connection between people.

Match: Who would've thought we'd find someone who can feel the "Path", when we actually came in search for the Summoner...

Lamp: Still, I think to be able to feel those connections is truly a wonderful ability to have.

Lamp: So, what did you feel back then?

Kirara: An incredibly strong, umm... it was probably the "Path" that I felt. Up until then, it felt like something not of this world.

Match: "Not of this world"!? ....Then it has probably begun.

Lamp: Match, could it beー

Match: Kirara, mind if you can tell us a little more? Like what you sensed, for instance.

Kirara: Okay. Umm.... I sense it from over there.

Match: "Over there"ーYou're able to sense something as precise as that too!?

Lamp: Kirara-san, please lead the way! You can explain more later!

Kirara: A..Alright! This way!

(time and traveling passes)

Kirara: Around this direction...

Match: Could something terrible be happening there?

Kirara: Just up ahead is my village.

Lamp: ! Let's hurry!

(more time and traveling passes)

(Kuromon appears)

Kirara: What... is that black thing....?

Lamp: They're Kuromons, but why are they here....

Kirara: Kuromons?

Match: They are monsters who react strongly towards "Crea", but there are so many of them, what are they trying to do?

Lamp: Up ahead is the village where Kirara-san lives, right?

Match: Seems strange. It seems like they are probably attempting to attack the village....

Lamp: If that's the case, the villagers will be in great danger! We have to stop this!

Kirara: But, how?

Lamp: That... I have no idea. But I definitely can't just sit around and watch!

Lamp: Our goal is to protect the Goddess and this world.

Lamp: Kirara-san's village, is one of the places that we would like to protect as well.

Lamp: That's why... I'm going to stop it.

Lamp: Kirara-san, I humbly thank you for sticking with us all the way here. Let's go, Match!

Kirara: I... I should do something too.. Ah...

Match: Our strategy is..... Well it's Lamp's issue after all, we really have none.

Lamp: Even so, we're not gonna let them go away with this. The Kuromons... maybe they'll stop on their own.

Match: ...We have no choice but to move, instead of believing they'll stop, but what are you planning toー

Lamp: Kuromons, stop right there!

Match: That doesn't mean you can just suddenly jump right in front of them!

Kuromon: Kuー....? (Alerted)

Lamp: They stopped?

Match: No, they're just looking over here.... Somehow I have a bad feeling about this.

Kuromon: Kuー! (Angered)

Match: I knew this is gonna happen! They are charging towards here! We have to evade them quickly... Wait, Lamp!?

Lamp: ...I cannot back down from here.

(Kuromon attacks Lamp)

Lamp: Kyaa!!

Kirara: Lamp!?

Match: Lamp! Get up, quick! You'll be sorry if you're sent flying again!

Match: Kirara! You can't come here! Ahh, you're really such a moron, Lamp!

Kirara: But!

Kuromon: Kuー....? (Alerted)

Match: ....Hey, Kuromons! Over here! Kirara, now's your chance to get away!

Match: Good grief, if I'm doing something like that too, I wouldn't be calling Lamp a moron now would I....

Kirara: Wh...What should I do? If this goes on, Lamp and Match will be... Ahh, Nooo!!

Kuromon: Kuー! (Angered)

Kirara: Please, just stop!!

Match: Kirara, get your hands off from the Kuromon! At this rate, you're gonna get dragged down before long!

Kirara: But, if I don't, you two willーKyaa!!

Kirara: I beg you, so please just stop! Please... Someone, please lend me your strength! We'll stop the Kuromons together!

(The Summoning happens, and the battle commences.)
