The Living Legend
The Dragon Fang Games.

A tournament held regularly by the Red
Dragon Knights.

Teams of warriors face off. The murder of
an opponent is forbidden.

Contestants battle not only for prize money,
but armament from the Red Dragon forge.

The Pandemonium grips the lands, despite
the last being 18 short years past.

As such, the excitement of the people is
low compared to previous games.

But Commander Luther predicted this, and
prepared.

The long-established tournament will see
the return of one of its heroes...

Spectator
Look, there in the red armor! There's no
mistake!

Spectator
She's back! The legend of the Dragon
Fang Games!

Ludmilla
...

Spectator
Kyaaah! Lady Ludmilla!

Ludmilla
Ah, hah...

Ludmilla
(I did not think I would ever find myself in
this arena again.)

Ludmilla
(Commander, you know how busy I am with
the Pandemonium! What are you thinking?)

Ludmilla
(H-However, I suppose this might give
heart to the people...)

Elf Knight
Heh... I only came here for some light
sparring. I wasn't expecting such fanfare.

Ludmilla
(He closed the distance between us in an
instant!)

Akatsuki
The name's Akatsuki. Master of battle and
soon to be victor of this tournament.

Akatsuki
Sorry it had to be you, but your defeat will
be the foundation of my legend in the West!

Akatsuki
I suppose these games are propaganda for
your order, but you best give up now and—

Ludmilla
How nostalgic.

Akatsuki
Hmm?

Ludmilla
This attempt at intimidating me before our
battle. It reminds me of the academy.

Ludmilla
But those who waste their time on such
drivel tend to fall quickest in battle.

Akatsuki
You think the humbler warrior always wins?
This isn't some bedside tale.

Ludmilla
You would not amount to a chapter in the
epic of the Red Dragon.

Akatsuki
Ha ha. There's only one way to find out.

Akatsuki
Will your defeat be the spark of my legend?
Or will I be nothing but a line in your epic?

Ludmilla
Very well. I pray that attitude will carry
you to the finals.

Akatsuki
Heh. Just try not to lose to anyone else.
Are you sure you haven't gotten rusty?

Ludmilla
It has been too long. I believe I shall enjoy
myself today.

Ludmilla
I suppose this is my chance to make up for
lost time!

Fruits of Training
Akatsuki
So here we are, Crimson Valkyrie. I knew
you wouldn't disappoint.

Ludmilla
Akatsuki. I must apologize for the wait.
Don't worry, I shall end this quickly.

Akatsuki
Let's see you try. Before we begin, are you
versed in the Eastern rules for battle?

Ludmilla
I have recently added them to our training.
Not just the style, but also the etiquette.

Akatsuki
Excellent. Well then...

Ludmilla
By the rules of combat...

Ludmilla & Akatsuki
We meet!

Fates Entwined
Spectator
She did it! Lady Ludmilla won!

Spectator
The Crimson Valkyrie stands tall!

Female Spectator
Lady Ludmilla, marry me!

Ludmilla
Thank you all for your support!

Audience
(cheer)

Akatsuki
Well, there's no fairer judge than battle.
Today, I play second fiddle to you.

Ludmilla
Akatsuki... I...

Akatsuki
Conciliatory words to a loser don't warrant
the thought you are giving them.

Ludmilla
Then allow me to speak freely.

Ludmilla
Akatsuki. Join the Red Dragon Knights!

Ludmilla
Your blade is keen and your spirit bright.
Help us to defend those in need!

Akatsuki
I'll pass.

Ludmilla
Why? If it is a problem of remuneration we
can negotiate as much as you please.

Akatsuki
If you spend time with someone whose skill
you wish to surpass, you only grow duller.

Akatsuki
Besides, I can't be satisfied unless I say,
"Next time, I will defeat you here."

Akatsuki
You know what I mean, I'm sure.

Ludmilla
You wish to challenge me in the arena once
more? But I have duties as a Captain...

Akatsuki
It's time for me to start training again.

Ludmilla
Hold on, Akatsuki, I did not agree to—

Akatsuki
For this occasion, I shall borrow the words
of my teacher.

Akatsuki
"Through this meeting, our fates are now
entwined. We are destined to meet again."

Akatsuki
Farewell for now, Ludmilla.

Ludmilla
...

Ludmilla
What a curious man.

Ludmilla
(I too must train for our next match. No...)

Ludmilla
For the future of the Red Dragon Knights!
