I've just gotta whack those two royal brats from the Phyllius Kingdom.

Activate skill: Presence Sense.

Great. Nobody's caught onto me.

And their security is light. This should be a cinch.

Hm?

A hitman?

Yep, he was muttering to himself about killing the Prince and Princess.

Then I'll make him tell us if he's in cahoots with those Blue Cats.

Hey, wake up.

Wh-what happened to me?!

We knocked you out and tied you up.

Wh-when did that happen?

Wh-what the...?

You can't cut Teacher's mana threads. Now tell us everything you know.

Shit. Guess I'm boned.

Jeez! He just took a friggin' poison pill!

Nice try, but that won't work.

Antidote.

Seriously? Did you just neutralize my ultra potent death toxin?!

You better start talking, right now.

Oh, hell! He bit his tongue this time!

Middle Heal.

I've got a knack for recovery spells.

What's it gonna be?

Keep suffering until you feel like spilling the beans?

NOOOOOOO!

So, he was just a freelance hitman

with no ties to the slavers, huh?

Well, we better let Salut deal with him.

'Kay.

A hitman?!

Yep. He said he was here to kill Fult and Satya.

Oh?

Is somebody after them?

Hmm. Well, the Phyllius royal family has special significance.

Special?

We'll discuss more tomorrow.

Your efforts will be rewarded. Look forward to it.

I'm more excited about breakfast!

I bet you are! It's all you can eat!

Fran. I heard about what you did last night.

That's the second time you've saved us. Thank you.

Hey! At least have the decency to reply when your mouth isn't full!

Where is your next destination, Miss Fran?

Ulmutt.

By ship, I presume?

Mm-hmm. But I'm going to Bulbola first.

I see.

In that case, Fran...

Have you already booked your travel?

Many people travel at this time of year for the Moons Festival,

so I imagine all the ships around here are full.

Seriously?!

I had no idea.

Thankfully, there's more than one way to board a ship.

May I interest you in traveling to Bulbola with us as part of our security?

You mean, as a bodyguard?

We'll pay you for it, of course.

Outrageous, Your Highness!

We cannot trust your safety to this strange and dubious adventurer!

Fran saved our lives! We consider her a friend!

Teacher?

Sounds good to me. A free boat ride is more than worth it.

All right. I'll take you up on that.

You will?!

Perfect. We're glad to have you!

Hmph! Don't come crying to me when everything goes downhill!

Fran could use some friends her own age.

I hope they'll become close.

It may look like we're in total vacation mode, but we're actually on guard duty.

Two monsters off the port quarter!

Alright, I'm on it.

Go, girl!

You get 'em!

Time for the ol' bait and blast!

Roger!

Grilled fish is on the menu tonight!

Totally!

Now's our chance!

Flare Blast!

Oops, they burned to a crisp...

It's okay, I can still make something out of the one we caught earlier.

But it won't be enough...

We haven't seen another monster since.

Well, a safe journey is a good journey.

Pardon, Miss Fran. We're getting ready to go fishing, would you like to join us?

Yeah! That's better than waiting around for nothing!

Plus, I'm super good at fishing.

Since when?

Wow, amazing!

Now that's a haul.

So many fish!

You all make it look easy.

I bet they're yummy.

Teacher...

Nothing's biting for me. It's cuz my rod sucks, right?

Playing the blame game isn't gonna help you, sweetie.

We caught a bunch!

What's taking you so long, Fran?

I guess it's time to show you my real power!

Transmogrify: Super-duper fishing rod!

Uh, roger.

Her sword transformed!

I've never seen anything like that!

I only catch big fish.

Get ready for a deep-fried buffet!

For some people, they say gluttony is what fuels growth.

We've already got a bite!

Yep!

It's a fierce one!

I think we've got a serious whopper on our hands!

Fran, hit it with some skills!

Elemental Blade: Thunder!

And now, Waterstream Manipulation!

Atta girl!

Wind Magic: Air Burst!

That thing is huge!

Monster name: Shipbreaker Tuna.

It's known for having a head as hard as mithril.

It whizzes through the water at high speeds and destroys ships by ramming them.

Threat Rank: D. It is considered a delicacy for its incredibly tender and savory meat.

I bagged it!

I knew Fran was a skilled fighter,

but this feat is on another level!

She beat a D-rank monster!

That proves she's even tougher than Salut! Incredible!

I could eat this forever!

It melts on the tongue!

Can I have another one?

Wow! This is just raw slices of fish on top of rice, but it tastes super good!

It's called "sushi."

Tastes even better with a pinch of salt or soy sauce.

You can also sear it. Then add some cheese and avocado...

Hey, thanks for the feast!

Mighty good to meet you, Miss Fran.

I'm Rengill, the captain of this vessel.

Nice to meet you.

I've never seen an adventurer who could beat a Shipbreaker Tuna, much less serve it for dinner!

If it's all right with you, please take this as a token of friendship.

Some kinda coin?

I'm a member of the Lucille Trade Association, which is headquartered in Bulbola.

That coin will earn you some perks if you show it there.

Teacher?

I say you take it!

Thank you, Rengill.

Please continue to keep the ship safe from monster attacks.

Bye for now.

Impressive, Fran!

The Lucille Trade Association is famous!

It's one of the top places for business, even in the Granzell Kingdom!

Whoa, for real?

And you've just earned the respect of one of their elite.

Captain Rengill's a sharp fella. He took quick notice of your potential!

What's the matter, Fran?

We've got incoming.

Huh?

Captain! Have you seen any monsters?

By thunder, I don't believe it!

It's the Midgardsormr!

Midga-what now?

All hands, brace for impact!

The Midgardsormr is a leviathan known as the "scourge of the sea" among sailors.

Many regard it as a natural disaster

and historical records show that it once wiped out the naval fleet of an entire country.

What's going on, Captain?!

It's dangerous, Your Highness! Please go back inside!

Status report!

Damage to the starboard aft! It hit the cargo hold!

Now it's chasing after the food we lost!

- Close the bulkheads in the cargo hold post-haste!

- Crap. We might have drawn its attention with the smell of that tuna we sliced up.

- Keep us from taking on water!

Get the ship as far away from it as you can, Rengill.

I will, but we can't hope to outrun that beast.

Fran?

Think we can make a meal outta that thing, Teacher?

Hmm...

What're you doing, Miss Fran?

We'll never know if we don't try.

Mm-hmm! Let's do it!

You and I are gonna make mincemeat of that giant monster!

A-are you mad?!

You can't beat the Midgardsormr!

Let's seize the initiative!

Right! We'll blast it outta the water with everything we have!

Jet! Go piss it off and bring it up here!

Fran, it's Telekinetic Catapult time.

Okay, it'll be a one-hit kill!

Use a mix of Wind Magic, Throw, and Elemental Blade to boost our attack power.

Okie-dokie!

Here goes!

Double Mind! Transmogrify!

The best form for the biggest impact... something like a bullet.

Harden, Vibrofang, Venomfang!

Gotta punch it up even more by tempering my mana!

I'm running out of mana fast,

but we're not gonna beat this thing without going full throttle!

Are you ready, Fran?

Mm-hmm! Just say the word!

Alright.

Good job, boy! Come back!

Now!

Do it!

Wind Magic: Sonic Shooter!

Suck on this, ya oversized maggot!

Hell yeah!

Bet that hurt! Identify!

Y-you gotta be kidding! This thing still has over 30,000 HP?!

That means my attack hardly made a dent!

So, this is what a Threat Rank A monster is like, huh?

Hold up! Where'd its head go?!

Aw man, it already healed its friggin' wounds.

What the hell was that?!

Analysis suggests that is stomach acid enveloped in mana.

Well, that's annoying.

Alright, screw it! I'm gonna whoop your slimy ass so bad that you can't heal from it!

Telekinetic Catapult combo chain!

Take that, sucker! Now you're fin-

Enemy HP stands at 30,087 of 38,709.

Oh, gimme a break! It still has that much left?

Fran! I'm making a strategic retreat!

Okay!

The sword came back!

Are you using a skill to control it?

Yeah, pretty much!

How'd it go, Teacher?

I couldn't finish it off with Telekinetic Catapult.

Is it super strong or what?

Nah, more like... super sturdy.

Now what?

Gotta get creative.

Teacher?

We'll pull from our armory.

Let's use the magic sword we took from the skeleton knight on Sky Island:

The insta-kill Death Gaze!

Just sucks we gotta rely on a sword

other than, you know, me!

What's that, Miss Fran?

A sword that has insta-death on it.

Insta-death?

Activate skill: Dual Blade Dance!

Oh, that's got a nice ring to it!

C'mon, Deathykins! Let's send it packing!

You got this, Teacher!

Bet! Leave it to me!

Congrats, you made me bear the shame of using another sword.

So die nice and quick, ya fat bastard!

Slash, slash, slash!

Insta-death has been triggered.

Sayonara, sucker.

Hooray! Teacher does it again!

Oh crap! You can't be serious!

C'mon! What happened to insta-death?!

Miss Fran, you ought to know the Midgardsormr has more than one heart!

I'm not sure insta-death will work on it!

Seriously?!

Teacher! They said the wormy-thing has a bunch of hearts!

Oh, jeez. I think I saw that written somewhere when I used Identify...

Fine then. Me and Deathykins will just keep slashing at it until it has no hearts left!

Insta-death has been triggered.

Insta-death has been triggered.

Insta-death has been triggered.

Insta-death has...

...been triggered.

Shit! It just won't die! How many hearts does this thing have?!

It is possible for damaged hearts to regenerate while insta-death is being inflicted on others.

Ugh, screw this!

It's closing on us fast, Cap'n!

Full throttle on the manatek engine!

Miss Fran is trying to fight it off! Stick to your stations and do your jobs, men!

Teacher...

Wait, ya fat bastard!

My little Fran's on that ship!

Stay the hell away from it!

Shit.

It's not slowing down.

Forget about killing this thing, I just need a way to stop it!

Poison? No, it's too big for that.

What else can I do?

Being out here is too risky! We need to take cover inside!

Fran!

Please pull back!

Teacher...

I need a plan. What would Amanda do in this situation?

Or Jean?

Wait a second! I've got it!

This could make or break everything. Time to roll the dice!

Open wide, ya big maggot!

C'mon, say "ahhh!"

Mana Barrier, max power!

Teacher!

Ew, gross.

Its insides are totally slathered in digestive fluid.

The barrier isn't gonna protect me for long!

HP currently at 930... 929...

- 928... 927...

- I've gotta go deeper! And fast!

All ahead full!

We can't go any faster, Cap'n!

Teacher!

Damn, guess this is as far as I get.

All right, you hungry? Cuz I'm about to give you a full course meal.

And it's a real gut buster!

Made from something special I picked up recently!

Pocket dimension, open!

Gorge yourself on some Sky Island debris, sucker!

Those fragments of Sky Island are steeped in undead mana.

You best dispose of them where another element is stronger, such as a volcano or sea.

I was just gonna dump it in the ocean, but your fat ass can have it all instead!

What's going on?

It's acting weird!

Well, I'm all tapped out.

Good luck digesting that, bastard.

Later. Spacetime Magic: Short Jump!

HP currently at 97.

For real?!

Whew, talk about a close call.

Hot damn, I'm surprised that didn't actually bust your gut.

Is your stomach galaxy-sized or what?!

Well, that's a wrap.

It's started to get sluggish.

We can outrun it now!

Aw, yeah!

Outstanding, Fran!

It seems your attacks did a real number on that monster.

Well, it's not dead. I only managed to slow it down.

Still, what impressive swordsmanship!

Teacher is-

I mean, that's my super amazing sword for you!

You're amazing as ever, Teacher.

Ya think so? Thanks, sweetie.

Say, Teacher?

What's up?

Whaddya think that worm tasted like?

Like total garbage, I bet.

Really? I dunno. Wish I could've tried a bite.

Okay, enough chit-chat. The sun's almost up.

You should get some sleep.

I'll stuff myself full after I wake up!

And that's how we survived the biggest threat of our seafaring journey.

Or so we thought...

We've invited trouble by drifting too far from the established southern sailing route.

My deepest apologies.

You made the right call, Captain Rengill.

In any case, it was imperative that we take a detour to the Seedrun Kingdom for supplies and repairs.

Batten down the hatches!

Non-combatants take cover in the hold!

Pirates are an unwelcome surprise.

We can't make any sudden moves or they'll start shooting.

Come standby in a lifeboat with me, Your Highnesses.

Fran, join forces with my men to fend the pirates off.

Forget it. We're not leaving anyone behind.

We're staying on the ship!

Our best option is to surrender.

Sellid?

They won't be foolish enough to cross swords with us once they learn you represent the Phyllius Kingdom.

Ridiculous! Pirates are capable of anything!

We shouldn't make assumptions!

Your opinion holds no weight here!

What? But I'm their bodyguard!

It doesn't change the fact you're an outsider.

I don't buy your story about defecting from the Raydoss Kingdom.

I'm betting the truth is that you're after our Godsword, aren't you?

I take that as an insult.

- Hold up, did he just say "Godsword"?

- Then stop putting His Highness in harm's way and do your job, fool!

Does that mean the Phyllius Kingdom has one?

I wanna hear more about that Godsword later.

Let me deal with these pirates first.

Watch over the ship, Jet.

Oy, Cap'n!

Huh?

Uh, well...

Somebody left the ship. They're flying over here on a sword.

Huh?!

Just take it easy, Teacher. You still need to recover.

Sure you'll be okay?

Yep! I can handle them by myself!

- Blow me over! Who's this barnaclehead?!

- Here goes.

- Prepare to walk the plank, missy!

- I'm gonna turn all these pirates into shredded pelk.

I think you mean "kelp."
