Well,I should add this too.
Since when Player-Chan stopped Hitsugi from killing Kohri.
Dialogue choice appeared(again)
Since you've translated the 2nd,so I'll translate the first choice.

Spoiler!

-At the 1st choice.Player-Chan'll ask Hitsugi if she's really going to kill Kohri.She'll answer that of course she want to help her but she doesn't want to see Kohri suffers like this.
-Just when she try to kill her,Player-Chan've come to stop her again.Hitsugi then ask Player-Chan "Are you still not giving up in me?"
-Before Player-Chan can answer her,Xiera cut-in and says that the one who stands before Hitsugi(Meaning Player-Chan of course) is the one who'll never give up no matter what kind of situation he/she is in.
-Player-Chan will give her a nod.(Well,as expected from Player-Chan)And then Enga'll say his line that already translated above.

Please note that this is a rough translation from my tiny little Japanese skills.So don't expect it to be 100% accurate. :V

Oh yeah, forgot about the first choice.
Thanks

Where was this story icon about Erdem again?

[Zeroem]

Where was this story icon about Erdem again?

121-C. Unless you were referring to Poyonche's datamined icon

Haven't really watched myself, what's the story with Erdem?

No idea about the Poyonche one but the one on 121-C (rough translation) was when Xiela was explaining about Mother's origin and how Aether came to be on Earth. Ardem (or Erdem) response was he pretty much did not care about Mother's origin; (while saying sorry to everyone at ARKS) and his concern pretty much on how Mother's arrival spark the evolution of Earthlings, and how the recent events are a wall Earthlings must overcome to reach evolution and development.

I mean, that was a quite different tone when compared to when we first met him. Not drastic, but still spark some question.

Here are the datamined pictures (only uploaded the one that seem interesting)

holyshit ... that look like it will be awesome

[Zephyrion]

We could infer that while not being completely evil, Erdem is questioning mankind development in the EXACT same way that Ophiel does when being confronted by Aratron.. So we can pretty much assume that they'll gang up at some point, or have been allies for a while. They probably see Mother's current state as a way to bring a new era of progress for mankind, pretty much like Photoners did with XIon....and we all know how that ended.

Aratron is definitely a badass!

...Is that Kohri in the background if the final pic, ready to help against Mother...ugh....*throw up*

Or Ophiel is the spy working for Earth Guide from the beginning.And they both plan to overthrow Mother and take Aru's power for themselves. :V
Ophiel is being quite suspicious and very manipulative from the beginning.
While he always state that he'll do only for Mother but I have a feeling he has to be more than that.
Even Aratron still don't know about his true intentions.(While he claim that is for humanity's evolution,but he never say about how will he achieve that)
Killing Bethor but spare Hagito might proves that he might have some plans in his stock.And he needs Hagito but doesn't need Bethor.
