Full retranslation of the XENO Rush Event, Area 1

SPOILER WARNING: Plot and/or ending details ahead. Proceed with caution!

1-1: Middle Manager

???: During Fuka XENO's attack, even though we used Desco XENO, it was a failure... Mao XENO and Raspberyl XENO tried a surprise attack, but they were also repelled... Sicily XENO's attack even resulted in her brother Thunderlord Laharl intervening... We've tried using force, but we have little to show for it, not even useful intel. What do you intend to do about this?

Emizel XENO: W-well... that is... you see... Those useless subordinates just won't follow orders properly! If they'd only listen to me, then...

???: Making excuses?

Emizel XENO: Eep! M-my apologies!

???: You don't seem to be much use as a commander. Perhaps you'd rather be scrubbing the toilets?

Emizel XENO: N-no! Anything but that! This time, I'll go and lead them personally! I'll definitely capture that Saint Etna! Consider the operation underway! We'll begin attacking their Netherworld right away! Please, just... one more chance!

???: Very well. But do try not to fail me again?

Emizel XENO: A-ah, yes! Of course!

Emizel XENO (thinking) : Oh man, there's no more chances after this. Whatever it takes, I must catch Saint Etna...! This is it, my chance to show my true power!


1-2: XENO Capture

Mao: Eureka!! The fruits of my research are complete - a device that can capture the otherworld invaders calling themselves XENO!!

Saint Etna: Oh, truly...?! Then with this, those XENO ruffians are...

Thunderlord Laharl: Whoa, amazing... I was pretty skeptical of those bold claims, but it looks like you came through. And all without any scary side effects on Saint Etna. I admit I was opposed to her being a research subject of some mad experiment.

Saint Etna: Prince Laharl, and Prof. Raspberyl, and you too, Player. You all have my thanks for watching over me in this dangerous endeavor.

Mao: Oh come on! You and Beryl didn't have to watch over me THAT closely while I was experimenting on the Saint... Thanks to that meddling, my desire to research is barely satisfied... C'mon, why not be a good saint and get back on the lab table?

Thunderlord Laharl: No time for that. There are others besides just the Saint and the XENO coming from the other world. It seems likely that they'll be here soon.

Mao: Don't interrupt while the adults are talking. As I said, with the fruits of my research, I have created this miraculous device to solve our problems - the XENO Capture!

Saint Etna: I must say it resembles those pest control devices for trapping bugs.

Mao: Precisely! Using the power of the Saint, this is a device for trapping XENO pests. As many and as often as you like!

Thunderlord Laharl: Can something this size really be used so haphazardly?

Mao: Well, this is just a prototype, so it can only hold one at the moment. But I'm drooling with anticipation to see how effective it is! *huff huff* Player, Saint Etna, and all of you... get out there and start capturing those XENO!

Emizel: You guys, BIIIIG TROUBLE!!


1-3: Extortionist President

Emizel: You guys, BIIIIG TROUBLE!!

Mao: Who do you think you are, the President of the Netherworld? Can't you see I'm busy with this unprecedented experiment right now? Get out.

Emizel: What? Oh come on, just listen, will ya?! I don't know or care what Mao's up to, but I'm looking for Player. There's two suspicious demons roaming the Netherworld now and one of them looks exactly like me. They're causing the low-ranking demons to run amok by bribing them with weird promises...! And now everyone is calling me the "Extortionist President" because of their tricks! This is no laughing matter! Player, you were able to defeat those weird Fuka and Desco creeps from before, right? This has gotta be more jerks like them... ...Hmm, by the way, Laharl and Etna, what's up with those getups? Some kind of cosplay?

Saint Etna: Oh my, how rude, this is most certainly not Cosplay! These are the proper vestments of a Saint!

Mao: Clean out your ears, Emizel. These two are the Laharl and Etna of that other dimension. They're here to submit themselves to, I mean, aid me in my research.

Thunderlord Laharl: Strop trying to make us into specimens again!

Emizel: A-another dimension?!


1-4: The True XENO Faction

Emizel: A-another dimension?! So like some kind of alternate Netherworld?

Mao: Strictly speaking, it isn't much different from normal interdimensional travel. But since their world is very similar to ours, it's like a parallel dimension.

Emizel: I get it. Huh, a Laharl and Etna from another dimension... They look the same, but you can tell they're completely different.

Mao: Indeed. This Etna is a Saint, and Laharl is her guardian, the Thunderlord. They have the same faces, but they've definitely lived different lives. I even met the me from this other world, and he was such an embarrassing meathead, obsessed with fitness and body sculpting! Yech!

Thunderlord Laharl: And obsessed with catching Saint Etna. And conquering this world. They are known as the XENO Faction.

Saint Etna: This is just a guess, but perhaps among the demons that Emizel saw was Emizel XENO?

Thudnerlord Laharl: Emizel XENO... that guy used his family connections to weasel his way into a high-ranking spot in the XENO Faction, as a Middle Manager. He hasn't shown any aptitude as a commander, and only gets his hands dirty when the opponent is a weakling.

Saint Etna: But still, his family's power cannot be underestimated. He is so unashamed of abusing their power, it is terrifying in its own way.

Emizel: Oh come on, when you say it like that, it sounds so un-cool! Why can't my other-self be a little less lame?

Emizel (thinking) : And I can't admit it, but I used to be a bit like that myself... I guess I don't have much room to talk...

Thunderlord Laharl: Aside from the commander Emizel XENO himself, if this intel is correct, then there's multiple XENO faction members here this time. A coordinated attack by the XENO... they must be really serious about getting Saint Etna...

Saint Etna: Because of me, your whole world has been put at risk, I cannot ask you to take on this burden alone. Please, let us fight together...

Mao: Heh heh heh, this is perfect! An excellent chance to capture one of these XENO! I can't wait...!

Emizel: Whew...! I guess I made the right choice coming to get Player! But is this gonna be okay? Just one of those XENO guys is really strong, how are we gonna take on a whole group?

Mao: No need to worry. I have prepared just the thing to close the gap in your power levels. Let's go already.


1-5: Holy Guardian Lords Summoned

Emizel: This is where I was told to go, but what am I looking for here?

Adell: Hey there, sorry to keep ya waiting!

Emizel: Oh, Adell, right? What's with that ridiculously huge pot?

Adell: This is a Summoning Pot. Mao and Saint Etna asked me to bring it here from the village.

Saint Etna: You have my gratitude, Adell. I'm amazed you could carry such a large item here by yourself.

Adell: Heh, no big deal. It's just some extra muscle training for me.

Mao: Yes, your brawn has served its purpose. You'd get along with that me from the other world.

Adell: Right, well, here's your clunky cauldron... Now what are you going to do with it?

Saint Etna: We shall use it to call forth our other comrades on the same power level as Prince Laharl, the "Holy Guardian Lords."

Thunderlord Laharl: In our world, so that no one demon has control over everything, the world is tended by four Holy Guardians, who also watch over the Saint.

Emizel: It's still strange seeing such a reliable guy talking with that face. And he's even a Holy Guardian? Too weird.

Mao: I believe the specifications for the summoning are complete. With the Saint's power, we can now begin.

Saint Etna: Understood...! In the name of Saint Etna, I call thee! Frostlord! Flamelord! Shinelord! Holy Guardians Assemble!


Frostlord Rozalin: ...Frostlord Rozalin reporting. I come in response to the voice of the Saint.

Adell: Wha- R-Rozy!?

Flamelord Majorita: Whoa-! Awe-some! Is this that other world that Laharl was talking about!?

Emizel: No way...! It's that super-dangerous Demon General, Majorita!

Flamelord Majorita: Ooh, well if it isn't Emizel! Good to see ya, I was getting bored with no one to fight. C'mon, put up your dukes!

Emizel: W-wait!? I'm not one of the XENO! Stooooop!


1-6: Mistaken Identity

Frostlord Rozalin: Come, we must apologize, Majorita. It seems this Emizel is not the one we know. They look so similar, it is an easy mistake to make.

Emizel: Maybe you should check that BEFORE you start beating people up!

Flamelord Majorita: Right right, my bad. Darn, I thought I'd finally gotten to beat him up, too.

Emizel: 'Finally?' Do you make a habit of harassing the me from the other world?

Saint Etna: Oh it is so good to see you, Flamelord Majorita, Frostlord Rozalin!

Flamelord Majorita: Yo! Flamelord Majorita, at your service. I'll always show up for the Saint!

Frostlord Rozalin: Once again, I'm called Frostlord Rozalin. You can call me Frostlord Rozy if you'd prefer. Peace.

Adell: What a surprise... Rozy as one of the Holy Guardians. I'm still not sure how to react.

Frostlord Rozalin: *stare*

Adell: Ah, uhm... what?

Frostlord Rozalin: Ah, I see. So you are the Adell of this world. I see, I see. ..It is nice to meet you.

Adell (thinking) : Th-that was an oddly elusive answer...

Saint Etna: By the way, Majorita... Have you seen the Shinelord?

Flamelord Majorita: The Shinelord? Out on a journey to train I think? Should be back before you know it!

Thunderlord Laharl: Oh, really? I guess I shouldn't be worried about the Shinelord, but it's a little strange...

Mao: So we're missing the fourth Holy Guardian? Oh well, it should be fine. Against the threat we know so far, just the power of these three should be sufficient for now. Now let's hurry it up and capture a XENO! Science cannot be kept waiting!!
