Lady Harken (Japanese:レディ・ハーケン)[1] is the fourth track from the WILD ARMS Drama CD. It stars Kunihiko Yasui as Jack Van Burace/Garrett Stampede, Matsuno Taiki as Hanpan, Akiko Hiramatsu as Lady Harken/Elmina Niet, and Tooru Ookawa as Alhazad. The radioplay is Japanese-language only and is mostly a dialogue between Lady Harken, who is troubled by the blank spot in her memories of her past life as Elmina, and her peer in the Quarter Knights Alhazad who turned her into a fellow Metal Demon himself. Jack, meanwhile, is dreaming about Elmina and has the realization that she and Harken are the same entity.

| 0:08 | Lady Harken/Elmina Niet | 「あのとこの太刀筋…
なぜこれほどまでに似ている？ これまでにあったのか？いや、待ってよ… いや、待ってよ… これまで… 私のこれまではどこにあるんだ？ 私の戦いの奇蹟は… なぜだ？ なぜ何もう浮かんでこない？」 |
"That place we dueled...
What’s the resemblance? Did I exist before? No, hold on... Until now... Up until now, where have I been? My miracles on the battlefield... Why? Why does nothing come to mind?" |
| 0:32 | Alhazad | 「拒絶反応か。
色々と難しいこと考え過ぎるから、 身体が付いていけないのですよ、 レディ・ハーケン。」 |
"Transplant rejection, I see.
It’s because you think too much about all sorts of difficult things that your body can’t keep up, Lady Harken." |
| 0:44 | Harken | 「アルハザード！
背後に近付くなといったろう！ ここでアズラーイールの刃に散るか。」 |
"Alhazad! I told you not to approach me from behind!
Do you want to fall to my blade Azrael in this place?" |
| 0:51 | Alhazad | 「へへ、私はただ助言」 | [He laughs.]
“I merely thought I’d offer my counsel.” |
| 0:56 | Harken | 「貴様の小賢しい策など。
斬り姫 には必要ない。」 |
"You scheming wretch!
The Sword Princess needs no counsel." |
| 1:00 | Alhazad | 「そうでしたか。
なによりも気高く美しいあなたには 助言など不要でしたなぁ。 ははは…」 |
"Is that so?
The sublimely beautiful Harken doesn’t need anyone’s advice? Ha ha ha..." |
| 1:14 | Harken | 「相変わらず卑怯な奴目。
また…頭が…」 |
"He’s as craven a spirit as ever.
My head...not again...” |
| 1:32 | Elmina | 「臆病なのよ。あんたはね。」 | "You’ve lost your nerve. That’s just like you." |
| 1:36 | Jack Van Burace/Garrett Stampede | 「エルミナ、お前に聞きたいことは…！」 | "Elmina, I want to ask you something...!" |
| 1:39 | Elmina | 「復讐という言葉に逃げてるの。力を手に入れてもあなたは使わないね。」 | "You’re using the word ‘revenge’ to run away. Even if you obtain power, you won’t use it." |
| 1:46 | Jack | 「ハ…ハーケン…？！
あっ！夢か？」 |
"H-Harken...?!
Aah! It was a dream?" |
| 1:57 | Hanpan | 「何だよ…ザック…」 | [drowsily]
"What is it, Jack...?" |
| 2:03 | Jack | 「あぁ、すまねぇ。
ハーケンが…いや、 そんなはずない。 そんなはずないんだ… あいつは、あいつだったら…」 |
"Uh, sorry.
Harken is... No, that can't be. That just can't be. If...if it really is 'her'..." |
| 2:23 | Hanpan | 「ザックの苦悩の始まりがそこにあることも知らずに。」 | "Jack’s pain began back there, without him even knowing it." |
