I know we haven't been gone for long but I have to say that still feels good to
be back can I get you pansy some tissues or can
we go to the end now I'm so hungry alright alright
I can't take it anymore I'm seriously gonna starve can I eat it
gel no the pooch look a little scary to anyone else
he's probably just hungry for his wild instincts to kick in the pooch isn't the
only one about to go wild I'm no good at diets seriously this isn't a diet it's a
fast why don't we have to stop eating - we can have delicious smells just
wafting by we're just as hungry as you are ah what a tyrant
I save your energy Carol you'll just make yourself hungrier sharp stomachs
make short greaseless Carol what does that mean it means hunger can make you
rude and that leads to angry people attacking you with sharp things I think
you're a little off but whatever URI and Rita seem to be pretty calm despite not
having eaten in a while I'm used to it there's a delicious steak right on top
of repeats back it's a trap don't succumb to temptation maybe we should do
something about this URI your mate I found a green piece of veggie bread in
my bag I can eat it right right what that no Carol don't
seriously this is getting dangerous let's eat something already
huh so even the Union can't sit still when it knows a princess of the Empire
is out on the loose then the dawn knows that I'm a candidate
for the imperial throne - yep that's why he told me to come keep an eye on you so
you're here to observe her that's kind of creepy
really what is it just me anyway here I finally catch up with you and I wind up
sticking my foot in that mess back there it hasn't been easy for old Raven but
why worry so much about a cell it's only natural considering the state of things
between the Empire in the Union each side is trying to feel the other out the
dawn just wants to keep track of their movements so you're all planning on
looking for this Pharaoh by going to the sands of qug or yes do you know what
sort of place a desert is well it's hot and dry and they've got a lot of sand
there that's putting it lightly it's not as easy as all that though
our plan is to get to the area together first
and then then I guess we'll go around and ask where Pharaoh is I don't even
know where to begin commenting on that plan so it's not just that you don't
want to go back to the castle anymore right um well it'd be easier on old
Raven if you did though I'm just saying no I'm sorry but I have
to know the truth behind Pharaoh's words huh well the desi err continent actually
suits me just fine why is that I've got to go to Norah
Pollock ax for another errand I'm running for the Don have to deliver a
letter to belly as' whoa that's pretty important that's the boss of the
Coliseum and ruler of Norda Pollock ah isn't it technically speaking he's
called the duche
do you know what's written in the letter hmm it's got something to do with those
monsters that attacked angrist in particular about that Ferro chap you
all are following the Don thinks beli Aslam know something about that monster
looks like it just became worth our while to pay this belly as a visit too
right so if you don't mind Raven here we'll just tag along with you
that's fine but you'll have to follow the laws of brave Vesperia got it it's
not like I can go join in your guild you know you understand why can't you join
brave of spiria it's against the rules for anybody to be in two guilds at the
same time and I guess technically speaking you are a member of all Tosk
what do you mean technically so are we done I'm gonna go get some rest then
okay
what do you think Rita's gonna do hmm what indeed does this mean we're on our
own until we leave tomorrow yeah we'll meet down at the harbour then what's the
matter boss hmm I don't know if I like you calling me that the boss is the boss
what would you have me call you instead just call me whatever you called me
before this boss thing seems a little over the top it makes me feel silly to
have you calling me that don't you think you'll get used to it well maybe well
you know way more about Guild's than I do right I guess the boss of the guild
has to stand as a role model for everyone else I wonder if I could be
that great of a person come on it's not like you're expected to be the best boss
ever from the very beginning you can take it a little at a time
for now our Gil has a job to complete you're right first we need to take a
style to meet Pharaoh but do you think we'll be able to meet him our guilds job
is to figure out a way to meet him if we can't meet him we won't get our reward
and people will lose confidence in our abilities
that's all there is to it I think we may have picked something a little too tough
for our first job it's more of a challenge that way and our reward will
be that much bigger too let's make the best of it yeah
I said that I will deal with things in my way of doing but I let Q Moore escape
that easily what a shame I don't know how I could explain this to Flynn I know
I know we have guilds job to deal with rather
than Q more yeah I just can't let him loose men of his kind will never learn
and will always repeat the same thing forever I'll have to do something I left
the empire and formed a guild for this kind of purpose
he will get what he deserves
well I can't believe we have to travel with you what you ain't happy
well not exactly jumping for joy you're too Kalam lighten up you can I
stand together with you in the face of evil that was only because you had to I
still haven't forgotten about what you did at noir Harbor you still remember
that some people just don't know when to give
up I'm not about to make a list of all your offenses saying that I'd rather not
have your company on our trip was already more than enough don't worry
don't worry I'll be on my best behavior I behaved myself at Cape mock and Gasper
Ross didn't I yeah that sure would be nice what should worry you more is
whether or not these old bones will be able to keep up with you young uns for
much longer you plan on sticking with us until Estelle goes back to the castle
the DA ordered me to keep an eye on the girl they ain't got much choice in the
matter sounds like a tough job I wonder if I
could hand her over to the Imperial Knights somewhere I can see it in your
eyes old man you're thinking bad thoughts again no not at all
well it's really too bad that you're gonna be travelling with us but might as
well make the best of it what do you mean really too bad hmm well whatever
anyway Raven the grade is going back to the end later boy
I'm just incorrigible whenever something or someone catches my
eye they forget all about everything else I really lose sight of everything I
was planning on doing beforehand yep that's about right I came to my senses
after Judith told me until now I've been dragging the rest of you around with me
like there's no tomorrow yeah it could be worse if you were Empress one word
from you and the entire empire would run off to do your bidding
yeah hmm I kind of feel like coming with you was the right choice oh yeah I've
been able to see all sorts of new things I still don't know whether I'm going to
take the imperial throne but there are still so many things left to learn about
in this world and Pharaoh's one of those things it scares me to think about it
but I have to know who I am I have to know what he meant by saying that was
the insipid poison of this world it sounds like you've made up your mind
URI hmm I might end up trying to order you guys
around again next time I do that yell at me would you
sure it's not the sort of personality trait that's easy to fix by yourself
though there's another guy who's also a tough nut to crack so I think we'll let
him be the one we vent our frustration on well I'm going back to the end I'll
see you
oh are you going to look for that cue more guy by any chance no just going on
a walk where were you just out for a walk like you what you
said to Estelle earlier hasn't been gnawing at you has it what I said
earlier then you say some pretty harsh things to Estelle oh right sorry to beat
you to the punch like that what you didn't beat me to the punch on anything
you were going to tell her the same thing that I did weren't you client you
figured it out you don't have to apologize for something like that
alright so weren't you going off to look for cue more after feeling bad about
hurting Estelle with what you said no I wasn't
you don't believe me you care for other people's feelings a lot more than you
let on I think no not at all well whatever what about you aren't you
going out to look for him I told you already I'm just going for a walk
do you really plan on helping Estelle find that fair oh whatever
yeah I guess so didn't that thing say that Estelle was an insipid poison or
something yeah I heard after something like that I guess you can't just tell
her to forget about the whole thing but it won't help her if she uses that as an
excuse not to deal with the issue of the succession to the throne yeah I'm
worried that might happen what are you talking about that's what is happening
yeah maybe but you're saying I should take her back to the castle yes that's
exactly what I'm saying it was her decision we have to let her figure out
what she should really do you realize it might come to blows with this Ferro guy
right she won't get to figure out anything at all if she dies she's not
gonna die that's why I'm going with her no have it your way then
ready to go what should we do about Rita that one has her own matters to attend
to that sounds about right so first of the harbour and then find a bomb
huh you mean are you coming - yeah wasn't there something you had to go do
you are going to investigate the air-crane air weren't you it turns out
the one at caves Mach the Commandant asked me to look into has already been
researched I hadn't really made up my mind about which route to take to
research the others so you'll be using us to help with your investigations well
there's no guarantee I won't run into trouble like back at Hell Yard anyway
it'll be safer for me this way than going alone nice to see you're glowing
personality hasn't changed this means we'll be able to travel together again
I'm so happy yeah I um well you know it's no big deal anyway we were going to
the harbor right ah to be young again I tell you if it's something you want to
say whoa down girl to the harbor then
Oh Yoder oh it's you all we meet again so what's
a successor to the imperial throne doing in a place like this I've been working
with the dog to officially seal our Treaty of Friendship is it going well
well I wish I could say it we're going better I can imagine that Herakles
monstrosity kind of made the Union really not like the Empire yes
and now prominent members of the Empire voicing their doubts regarding the
friendship treaty the conditions that Don gave the Empire were for a Treaty of
equality after all and they are certainly not on equal footing with
something like that yes had I known about Heracles beforehand I
could have stopped him but you didn't know about that thing you're in line to
be Emperor I know but I have no authority over the Imperial Knights the
Imperial Knights act on orders from the Emperor alone they do not report to
anyone else well then it's easy just become ever you mean
becoming Emperor isn't as simple as that why not to ascend to the throne one must
possess the Imperial treasure gain Nomos but dame Nomos went missing around the
time of the great war ten years ago so that's the real story while we still
don't have an emperor and that's why Rico wanted to get his hands on de Nomos
what was that yuri forget it it's nothing anyway is it really okay for an
imperial candidate to be wandering the streets like this I was just on my way
to hell your that is closer to dawn dress than this place is negotiations
would probably go smoother there I believe so too
Master Yoda we should be off if you'll please excuse me
the queue barrier blastia of this city and noir harbor were originally a single
blast yet did you read that in one of your books back in the castle yes
actually there were three pieces the last piece sunk in the sea between
the two cities I wonder if he could raise that blastia and if you sold it
you could live like a king forever the Empire would have already done it if
they could any idiot could come up with that idea you don't have to be mean
about it
but just that many you've gotta be crazy I wouldn't do that even if I had nine
lives what's going on oh if you won't do the
work I've paved you for that I want my money back
add the indigo beasts to the black list of guilds yes madam president
is that the woman we met it Aden hold yeah that's her all right
why we just met her once a while back is she a friend of yours I wouldn't say I
know her she's the president of fortunes market one of the five master gilt in
other words she's one of the top dogs in the Union hey I just got an idea
what's up Carol maybe she could get a boat for us to
take her cross to desi air
well if it isn't mr. Yuri Lowell you've come at just the right time I guess
those wanted posters really do work listen I've got a job that would be just
perfect for you hard labor huh I like a man who can cut
to the chase as you may have heard schools of mermen often attack cargo
ships at this time of year huh but I thought there was another Gil that
always served as your escort it seems the leader of the mercenary
guild I hire passed away suddenly so they aren't available the other guardian
guild simply has no backbone I don't know what to do even that Guardian guild
you mentioned
the Blood Alliance GM wonder what could it happen to them
Jules guilty as I am
hate to disappoint you but we're in the middle of something right now so see you
around wait URI what about the boat hmm did you
say boat we've made a guild of our own Vesperia that's a wonderful name well
then shall we talk business mutual gain is one of the basics of all business you
know you scratch my back I'll scratch yours sorry but like I said we're in the
middle of a job you can't take on anything else right now we won't call it
business then let's just say will cooperate does two guilds helping each
other out that way we won't be going against any guild principles there are
various incentives for getting along with me you know all right we can talk
but we need to go to Nora Pollock ah we can't afford any detours fine with me
the mermen are only a problem in the waters near here as long as I get to
another port I'm good once we arrive I won't have any trouble
making arrangements with another ship wow she means business
literally so do we have a deal they have the sinking feeling we just got tricked
into something fortunes market isn't known as the best group of salesmen
under the Sun for nothing this isn't so bad now we have a way to cross over to
desi air I'll even throw in a bonus for all of you bonus what do you mean if we
arrive safely in Norda Paulo kheh I'll give you the boat we used to get there
really the boat looks pretty beat out but it's still a good deal right
so these mermen must be pretty tough customers if you're willing to part with
the boat I leave that to your imagination
figured as much marvelous we have a contract then now that we've settled the
details I'd like you to get to work right away just let me know when you've
made your preparations
this is the fear TIA she'll be your ship as soon as you've
escorted her to Norah Pollock ah and this man is token Agha of Gulf song a
maritime guild affiliated with fortunes market I'm Tokunaga very nice to meet
you he's only on board for this voyage so
next time be sure to hire your own pilot we're not in a hurry but these are
important negotiations so I really appreciate the help
what is the ships cargo that's confidential information
it's nothing we should be worried about is it relaxed you've got it covered all
right head towards Norda Pollock oh go directly south west from tourim harbor
and you'll see the desi urkontinent noir Nepal iike is at the eastern edge I
hope you won't mind if I go over the fear tias controls for you you can only
disembark from the ship where you see a dock a port or a beach you won't be able
to get onto land where there are cliffs of course the ship can't pass over rocks
but you'll also have to keep her out of the shallows around islands you might be
able to take her into some rivers if they're deep enough however if there's a
bridge spanning the river you won't be able to take her under we wouldn't want
to clip off our mast
and that's about it
we just started out and we're already working with one of the five master
guilds this is good yeah you're one step closer to making your dream a reality
Carol aren't you happy you talking to the kid
he's over there mumbling about something Merman the first thing had to be merman
brave Vesperia has some bad luck what's the president in fortunes market gonna
think of us if we fail this is bad this is so bad I don't think he's very
happy he's just being careful that's all
that's not being careful that's running and hiding
it'll be nice if we don't run into the mermen Walnut hmm that's pretty wishful
thinking you're quite the pessimist for your age girlie I'm just a realist
anyway thanks for your help looks like we're gonna make it there on
time yeah leviathans claw is going to beat us
there if we hadn't found an escort for the ship
leviathans claw that's the name I seem to be hearing a lot lately oh they're
the guild that's specialising in sales of Hope 'land blastia oh that explains
the situation in Hell Yard lately they've been trying to steal our clients
from us if we weren't able to cross the sea they would have swiped up another
one of our major customers still you can't help but wonder where those
slimeballs are getting their products from indeed hope the blastia isn't
exactly the easiest thing in the world to get ones hands on you don't think the
Empire is behind this no that couldn't be its mages that are
supervising the blastia distribution
right on time everyone be careful
the world spinning they think I'm getting seasick
did that monster just say something
familiar aren't you a chatty monster
so is that okay beautiful
you're true to your reputation I was right to bring you along
I tell you rate Vesperia doesn't have any shame in working an old man down to
the bone even while I'm looking for apatheia and doing all sorts of other
things apatheia isn't that what you were looking for back in noir Harbor that's
right that's nothing but a fairy tale I researched it a while back but
eventually I realized that there's simply no way it can theoretically exist
I am well aware people think it's a fairy tale why are you looking for it
well because the Don told me to it's still alive
patty
well that was a pleasant voyage can you really call it a voyage when
you're in a monster's belly what are you doing all the way out here I was hunting
for treasure when I fell into the ocean but a nice monster came to play with me
I'm glad he didn't become part of a complete breakfast this is all well and
good but can we get the ship back on course yeah sure
so that wasn't all of them
I've healed him but he should still rest for a while
well this is a real problem I don't suppose any of you know how to pilot a
ship paddy you can if you're gonna travel around the world you'd better be
able to at least pilot a ship then I'd like to ask you to be in charge of
piloting this vessel you gotta be kidding me
now of course we've made much better time than I thought we could even afford
to make a side trip or two I'll leave the course up to you
with a ship we can go practically anywhere we want stuff I know you want
to look for Pharaoh but don't you think we have more important things to do for
the moment do you think I'll do what I want don't worry about me
we just started our guild we should err on the safe side don't you think Carol
yeah
the fogs gotten awfully thick yeah it's creeping me out fog like this is
usually a sign something Bad's about to happen talk like that long enough and
something bad will happen
hmm we're going to hit them
what is that
that's an old ship I've never seen that type before I think it says the after
room
that's weird there's no sign of people it it's like it's calling to us no way
come on get the fear tube going hmm no can do I don't know why but the saris
blast yeah and responding at all what do you mean what the hell is wrong with it
you think this thing's the problem ooh
maybe it's a cursed ghost ship you don't really think so do you why don't we go
take a look it'll be fun I love this sort of thing what well we don't know
what's wrong with the blastia we got to go take a look are you planning on just
leaving the fear to you like this all right why don't four of us go
investigate while the rest stay here and keep watch that should be fine okay so
repeat and I'll go
and who's the third person I'm not going no wait
URI why don't you decide gotcha
we need to think about balance and splitting the party understand
the ship could also be attacked by monsters at any time
I'll do my best
no you stay right here and watch the ship
exciting
I have to fix the saris blastia
if anything happens yeah love so that we can hear
all of you be careful we'll set up a smoke signal as soon as the Cirrus
plasti is fixed Thanks
do you think the others are alright we should probably worry a little more
about how we're doing there's no telling what might happen on a boat this sketchy
you see that but you saw what you're enjoying all this maybe that's why I
don't feel all that scared myself oh man this isn't gonna be half as fun if
you're not properly terrified fine never mind
the sign of victory yet pretty good
hold still I'll make this quick
that's what happens when I get serious
that's what happens when I get serious you
you
you
you
hold still I'll make this quick
easy
you
you
a little
I got no time to think
you
we're done
repeat your tale
you'll be gone soon enough
you
you
I got no time to think
the sign of victory
repeat
you
get ready I'm taking you down
sorry for being sister
the sign of victory
you
I think I just heard a weird noise look at that
it's no good you won't open it looks like we have no choice but to keep
moving all right let's keep moving then there's no use sticking around here yeah
let's go I wonder if everyone we left behind it's okay oh my what happened I
can't believe the mast would suddenly collapse like that we're fine but I hope
you and the others are okay maybe surprised if they came out of an impact
like that without a few scratches those troublesome kids you mind if I go and
make sure they're still alive
now hold on just a second we'll protect the ship while you're gone
I'm sorry but by ourselves we wouldn't be much help in protecting the ship
anyway hey I ain't the guild anyway I don't have to look after your ship if I
don't wanna okay with just the three of us
that's where I come in weren't you told to stay put not that I
really care or anything those words are powerless to put out the
blazing fire that burns in an adventurers heart so basically you just
want to explore the ship treasure I don't smell anything an adventure sense
of smell is sharper than the teeth of a man-eating shark well then you can come
along but if we find any treasure we're splitting it up equally yes I suppose we
don't have a choice be sure to come back I don't want to be adrift out here
forever it does feel a bit hopeless with just the two of us don't say things like
that talk about something more fun oh sorry
I'm pretty nervous but I feel awful if anything happened to the others we have
to go save them alright let's do this
Oh guess we're done
you
yeah
it's dangerous to go too fast
I'm not said rely on Carol not that you hold the
candle Thierry whoa patty there's no need to slob
are you done already
hey lass wait welcome so far away from me what idea might that be
that's all well and good but you're outside my defensive range
my charms of me
you don't scare me
you
thank goodness you're okay hey hey you decided to come along for
the ride too and hey why are you bringing along more
people we didn't exactly have a choice in the matter well you certainly got
guts though that's nothing new I know if you didn't you wouldn't have marched
knew that old geezers mansion all by yourself you mean what goes palace is
our ship gonna be okay
let's get out of here quickly
I'd wager you've gotta be kidding me the ship's evil spirits are surely at
the bottom of the ship wanting to make us one of them don't make up stories
like that no wait that's impossible
you'll just have to look for another way out right on let's go
Rita are you okay what do you mean of course I'm okay that's why I'm gonna get
out of here right now oh but we worked so hard to get here we
should take our time and soak in the atmosphere we can't take our time here I
have the important mission of investigating the air situation it's not
like there's any other reason I'd want to leave here huh the strange face on
the other side of the mirror no it can't be I feel kind of sorry for her come on
let's finish what we came to do for Rita's sake yes that might be best
you
all right let's go
hold still I'll make this quick
the best defense is a good or something
you
u-232 of a sewer 13th day of blue air the 'soul period and the month of blue
error from a time before the empire so over a thousand years ago that law a
draft five and forty days food and water used up men's coming to thirst and
starvation i cannot give in though I must see the clear sale crystal safely
to your again this crystal holds the power to banish the monsters and with it
the town may yet be saved I have stored the clear CL crystal in my red chest
a gift from my dear you of fun it won't be much longer until I am in her arms
again and then we will all be saved but he wasn't able to return to his town he
passed away here come on Estelle it was more than a thousand years ago so this
ship's been wandering they open seas for an awful long time sounds lonely
I've never heard of a town called jörgen if this record is really that old
there's no guarantee the town even exists anymore yeah I guess that's true
what about that clear seal crystal
I've never heard of it the power to banish monsters come i wern't if it's
something similar to a barrier do you think it might be here somewhere
let me see if I can find it
see how much better it is when we're all together it's times like these that give
you a sense for how important cooperation really is yeah I guess the
runt said something smart for once not that we've done anything all that
cooperative yes that's all right just being together makes this place less
frightening I wonder if it's really that simple
ah it's a four-legged hell Beast oops my bad must have just been the pooches
shadow no you are so dead I'm gonna kill you and leave me wanting this
