This has to be enough.
Sandra, I...
Why are you shaking?
You understand, don't you?
If we complete the project, this glimmer won't have gone to waste.
It'll simply go back to where it belongs.
Yeah.
It's all right.
I'm sure it's painful right now, but you won't regret it.
Sandra...
You'll help me, won't you, Seraphina?
Yeah.
Good girl.
Now, let's go to the Lord of Jewels.
Alexandrite
Elazul, we need to take a break.
No.
We have to go Pearl...
To Lady Blackpearl.
We need to get some rest, otherwise we'll never make it.
Shiloh...
You're right.
We should be safe here.
Shiloh...
Don't we need to go find Seraphina?
Elazul...
I'm sorry.
I can see why you trust Seraphina so much.
But we can't let our guard down either, can we?
Yeah.
You aren't wrong for being suspicious of her, either.
It's not that I trust her, so much as...
You might be running away.
From learning the truth.
The truth...
Yeah. That might be it.
I am, too.
About Lady Blackpearl?
Yeah.
I hadn't even tried to know her.
Even though she's my closest friend.
Do you think Pearl would have told us something if we'd asked her?
I don't know.
She seemed to have completely lost her memories after becoming Pearl.
Yeah... She did.
But I hadn't even thought to do anything about it until now.
I'm going to meet Lady Blackpearl and ask her for the truth.
I'll come with you.
After that, I'll go find Seraphina.
I see.
Okay.
I'm good to go.
Okay, let's go.
Yeah.
So many gems bearing the glimmer...
It wasn't that difficult.
Your Highness, can we save Florina with this?
Yeah.
I'm sure it can be made to happen.
Please.
Then, let's begin.
Oh, faint glimmers of stones...
Become one within me and form the teardrop crystal to heal the jewel princess.
It has to work.
What's wrong?
What's happening?
More...
Just a little more.
We need more to create a teardrop crystal.
What?!
You said we only needed a thousand cores!
I don't want to take any more than I need to, either!
I'm sorry.
Wait here.
I know where to get one.
I can only sustain this glimmer within my body for several days.
Hurry. The cores!
Hey, can the Lord of Jewels really make a teardrop crystal?
He can.
I see.
But why are you so sure of the Lord of Jewels?
Because I've seen it.
It happened on the battlefield.
After a great battle...
No...
It can't be...
My knights...
They're all...
Is anyone still alive?
Damn it...
This is how it ends.
I've caused so many casualties.
But, at least, I've stopped the enemy's battalion.
We've certainly bought enough time for our princesses to escape.
Oh, heavens, are you shedding tears in my place?
Florina...
I wish I could have seen you one last time.
Are they crying?
My knights...
Are you telling me not to relent?
To return to the princess?
Back... Back to Florina!
Wh-What's happening?
You're...
The Lord who amasses the sorrow of the knights?
The knights'...
And then the Lord consumed the lightless stones and created a new glimmering stone.
A new glimmering stone?
You mean a Jumi?
Yes.
With enough glimmering cores, it's even possible to make a teardrop crystal.
I see...
Then...
We're almost there.
And then we can rescue Florina.
We almost have enough cores for the Lord.
By cores, do, you mean...
Seraphina...
Yes?
This is it.
Find out where they're headed.
Got it?
Yes.
Elazul!
Go, Elazul!
Judgment has been rendered.
Proceed.
Elazul!
Are you all right?
Sorry...
You're always helping me.
No.
Let's take a break.
No.
Pearl is there.
Elazul?
Pearl...
Your objective is to take the throne of jewels.
Yes.
Pearl...
You will take the throne of jewels and become the princess of jewels.
Yes.
You will succeed Florina in giving yourself to the service of our people.
Yes.
Pearl...
You will share your life with everyone, in the form of a teardrop crystal.
Even if your life is to end, you will continue creating teardrop crystals.
No...
Do as I say.
This is our best hope.
He will surely come home with the Mana Sword.
We only need to hold on until then.
No...
I don't want to die.
Stop!
Elazul!
And Big Brother Shiloh!
Are you all right?
Yes.
Lapis lazuli Jumi, do not interfere.
This is for me to deal with.
Pearl is my princess.
I won't let you do anything against her wishes!
Have I not told you?
This is for me to deal with.
Lady Blackpearl...
Just who are you?
What were you discussing with Pearl?
Elazul...
What good would it do for you to know?
You won't like any answer I give you.
Now, hand over Pearl.
You can't have her!
Stand down, or you'll die.
I pledged to protect her.
I won't stand down!
Please, Big Brother Shiloh, help Elazul.
Right.
Very well.
I don't want to tarnish this place.
Come downstairs.
We'll settle this there.
All right.
Pearl, you wait here.
You have nothing to worry about.
Your destiny is already determined.
Pearl, don't worry.
I'll be back for you.
Okay.
Go first.
Prepare your equipment and wait for me there.
I'll follow you there.
Elazul...
Big Brother Shiloh...
Pearl...
It's your destiny to become the princess of jewels.
Princess of jewels...
Teardrop crystals...
For everyone...
What is it, Shiloh?
Lady Blackpearl...
Even Sandra didn't want to fight her.
It'll be all right.
If the two of us together...
You think you would stand a chance?
Lapis knight, are you prepared?
Elazul!
Yeah.
Lady Blackpearl, there's one thing I want to ask.
Which is?
Will Pearl still be unharmed, if I'm to defeat you?
You don't need to worry.
You couldn't so much as hit me with a pebble.
How dare you?!
Let's say...
If you do succeed, I'll give up on Pearl.
I see.
I'll make you regret those words!
Come!
What?!
Is that it?
You disappoint me!
Elazul!
I'm fine.
Disappoint?
What is that you want?
Why did you spare my life?
Spared his life?
What else, besides pity for my own kind?
Young Jumi...
I see you can no longer move with your core being damaged.
I see you managed with just one arm.
Get away from Elazul!
Shiloh.
Why do you aid Elazul?
It doesn't seem as though you've been made aware of everything.
Elazul is a precious comrade.
A friend!
I'm sure he has his reasons for not telling me!
I see.
But you have no chance of defeating me.
So why do you fight me?
What do you mean, why?
I don't need a reason!
I don't want to take your life.
Surrender.
I won't!
Such meaningless resistance.
It's over.
Admit defeat and leave Pearl behind.
I refuse!
You'll never be able to hold a sword again.
How dare you deceive me...?
You said a pebble, didn't you?
Shiloh...
Elazul.
You've made a good friend, lapis knight.
We have a promise.
I'll let go of Pearl.
Shiloh, did you...
Yeah.
But only for a short while.
The instant anything happens...
All who shed a tear for the Jumi become stone.
Shiloh, you'd best beware.
The legend is true.
You mustn't involve yourself with us.
Now, if you'll excuse me.
Elazul!
I'm all right.
Elazul!
Big Brother Shiloh!
Pearl!
Shiloh, don't be with us anymore.
Elazul!
Elazul?
Huh?
Let's go.
What's wrong?
Is something wrong?
Shiloh...
Thank you.
For everything.
Thank you, Big Brother Shiloh.
I...
I'm ho--
Master! Welcome home.
Welcome home!
Thank you for having us, Shiloh.
Valerie.
We've made ourselves at home already.
Oh, also—
Seraphina's here.
Shiloh!
I finally get to see you.
Seraphina...
Why did you vanish like that?
Esmeralda is missing.
No one at the academy knows anything, either.
And this was the only place I could think of to look for you.
Thank goodness.
Oh, sorry.
I'll talk to you later.
Now, then, let's have dinner.
Hooray!
We all prepared it together.
Help us bring it to the table.
Okay, got it.
I see...
So Sandra got Esmeralda.
Elazul was suspicious of you.
I can't blame him.
She was disguised as me.
Yeah.
After I was separated, I searched the gem shops for her core.
I think the shopkeep would support me if you asked him.
I see. Then...
Where do you think Elazul and Pearl went?
I'm not certain, but I think they went to see Diana.
Diana?
There was a Jumi at Kristie & Company that was turned to stone.
Please bring Lady Blackpearl here.
Then I will answer your question.
Lady Blackpearl?
Pearl had two forms as Jumi.
Two forms?
Lady Blackpearl is strong.
She could probably beat Sandra.
So the two are safe?
Oh, no...
She's in Pearl's form right now.
So then, if Sandra were to attack now...
Elazul and Pearl are in danger.
Aren't you going?
All who shed a tear for the Jumi become stone.
Shiloh, you'd best beware.
The legend is true.
Let's go.
Elazul and Pearl are both my dear friends.
Me, too, then.
I want to clear my name.
Yeah.
