Lagdou Ruins 3

All generic enemies in this chapter have the name “Kaga” and use a photograph of Fire Emblem series creator Shouzou Kaga as their portrait.

Opening

lyon
...Why all the generals?
novala
It's the next challenge!
lyon
All generals? What kind of challenge is that?
novala
Well...

They have Great Shield!
Ooo, isn't that terrifying.

lyon
You're the worst sidekick.
(Novala fumes.)
novala
Sidekick? How dare you! If anything, I'm the real protagonist!
I'm way more likeable than you are, for one!
lyon
You tried to feed children to a giant spider.
Like, even Riev was never that twisted.
riev
He's right, you know. Heh heh heh...
You just can't stop losing, can you, Novala?
Even when you're given a pithy role like this, you still manage to turn it into a mockery of yourself.
It is truly quite the talent. Heh heh heh...
novala
Bah. Simpletons. Let's just go kill some armors.
riev
Heh heh heh... I'm glad I got to bully Novala one more time.
It truly is one of my favorite pastimes.
Alongside summoning monsters and stealing candy from babies.
That last one was said in jest, I assure you. Heh heh heh...

lyon
Now let's see who you really are.
(Lyon removes Derrick's helmet.)
lyon
Gasp!
(Derrick is revealed to actually be Murray.)
lyon
Murray's Brigade?!
murray
(smiles) That's right, my liege. It's me!
I was Derrick all along.
lyon
But why?!
murray
(frowns) I just thought it would be funny.
(Tirado approaches.)
tirado
Muuuuuuuuuuuuuuurray!!
(Murray startles.)
murray
L-Lord Tirado...!
tirado
How DARE you embarrass me in front of the emperor!
murray
Wait, I can explain!
...Wait, how did I embarrass YOU? You had nothing to do with--
(Tirado advances threateningly.)
tirado
Come here, you imbecile!
(Murray flinches.)
murray
Gah!
(Tirado chases Murray across the ruins.)
lyon
......
(smiles) I thought it was rather funny.
duessel
I think it would have been funnier if it had been me.
Obsidians are black, much like that knight's armor.
It would have been quite the colorful joke.
lyon
You're not a silly character like Murray's Brigade, though.
It's more immediately funny if it's a silly character.
duessel
Mm... Alas.
Duessel's Platoon scores a loss on this day...
