Trivia

• I dunno

Kati's Story

• Opening

 Kati, a German little girl who went missing while going out,
 was somehow protected in the hinterland of Tibet, but instead of returning home to her parents
 she set out on a new journey wielding a strange wand after recovering from a debilitating condition.

• VS Generic

 Uwaa, I won...

• VS Sai

 Ah, mister long legs...? (*)

• VS Perfecti

 Are you okay?
 Wait there for a moment...

• First Interaction

 Suddenly, piercing the South Pole's permafrost, the form of a huge structure appeared.

 Perfecti:
 So you are still alive... but why did you come to this place?
 Oh well... This must also be destiny. I will personally grant your soul salvation.

• Second Interaction

 Valkyria:
 To think you could defeat the Perfect One Mycale... Was it the power of that wand's evil eye?
 However, this ends here. Accept your death archaic human.
 I am Valkyria, the one who brings death to the Old World.

• Ending

 Kati:
 Perfecti-chan... no, Mycale-chan, wake up!
 Kati understands very well that Mycale-chan has been lonely for a long time.
 That's why I came to see you... and... I hope we can be friends.

• Translator Notes

• (*) 足長おじさん (ashinaga ojisan) (1) anonymous scholarship system for orphans whose parents have been killed in traffic accidents (from Daddy-Long-Legs, a 1912 novel by Jean Webster); (2) harvestman; daddy long-legs (arachnid of order Opiliones). Sai helped Kati (I assume he had something to do with either her being found safe in Tibet or her return to her parents), so they know each other and they use Japanese familiar terms when they speak to one another. Kati uses おじさん (oji-san) [old man; mister] for Sai so in Japanese this is a pun that has both the same meaning of "Daddy-Long-Legs" and "mister long-legs". Sai refers to Kati as お嬢ちゃん (ojou-chan) a familiar term from the polite お嬢さん (ojou-san) [young lady] which I've seen translated as "missy" or "little lady". Both also have the meaning of uncle and daughter (not family related) respectively but using those terms would lead to confusion.
