I'm Mavis Vermillion.

For the past seven years, I've been studying military tactics in order to fight wizards.

I'm sure I would be useful.

Hey, Mavis, what are you saying?

Please take me with you.

The Tenrou Jade is a symbol of this island,

and we citizens of Tenrou have protected that jewel for generations.

Please! I want to take back the jewel of Tenroujima with my own hands!

Mavis...

We're treasure hunters.

Even if we get the Tenrou Jade, I can't guarantee we would return it to you.

When that time comes, let's have another contest over it.

Until then, we have the same goal.

Besides, you promised I would meet a fairy. You haven't forgotten, have you?

Yeah! This is the beginning of an adventure!

The sea!

It's so vast!

And big!

The sea breeze feels wonderful, doesn't it?

Hello!

They're in the middle of migrating!

You've been gazing out at the sea for hours.

I'm surprised you're not tired of it yet.

Looking out at the sea from the island

and from being in the middle of it are totally different views!

If you say so...

I do! It's marvelous!

Now let's head for Halcyon!

After getting information on Blue Skull there, I'll get the Tenrou Jade back for sure!

Yeah, we'll help you get that far.

Although we're gonna take it from there.

Treasure Hunt

Do you change

the angle of the sail in accordance with the wind's direction?

That's right. I'm good at making minor adjustments.

Really...

I've barely read any books about ships...

Um...

Huh?

With this wind, I think you should have it face

about five degrees more towards the stern.

Oh, really?

One more degree, just a little bit...

Like this?

The wind just shifted to north by northwest!

Now I think you should shift it two, no four degrees...

Like I said, I'm good at making minor adjustments!

I've got this under control, so go away!

I was interfering with your work, wasn't I?

I'm sorry!

Let's go, Zera.

Go where?

Exploring!

Exploring?

If you get in the way, they'll be mad at you again.

Let's go!

Tight space...

Doesn't it smell moldy to you?

It's kind of exciting, isn't it?

What kind of tool is that?

A gun used to catch prey.

You shoot them?

Sure. Blam! One shot, a clean kill.

And I'm just kidding! Only kidding.

A net shoots out, not bullets.

This is just to capture them.

I see!

How big is the net?

Boom! It stretches out bigger than an iceberg.

It's that big?!

Nah, I'm just kidding! Only kidding.

But it can ensnare a pretty big beast.

How fast does it fly out? Is the angle important?

Um, well, first...

The angle is a guesstimate...

Do you stand up when you fire? Or kneeling?

Uh... Knees...

Warrod! I need some help up top!

I'll be right there!

We can continue this later.

Right! Whenever you're free is fine.

You keep interfering with everyone's duties.

You're right. I'd better be careful.

So where should we explore next?!

You're not being careful at all.

The wind stopped.

Damn pain in the ass!

There's no sense in whining about nature.

I know!

They'll get annoyed again if you don't keep quiet.

Yes, I know!

Do you really?

That one's a little scary.

What are you doing?

We lost our wind,

so we're folding up the sail for a spell.

The sea breeze in this area

will probably keep blowing and stopping on a two or three-hour cycle.

If you wait a while, it should blow again.

You know a lot about it. Did you read about the wind in books?

Yes! And about currents, too.

Yuri, Mavis is right.

Let's have a siesta 'til the next wind comes along.

All right.

Is there anything I can do in the meantime?

Nope, not especially.

Really?

Don't mess with anything over there.

Okay.

See? You got told off.

Go ahead and seagaze some more.

Can I talk to you a second?

I said get back to seagazing!

Okay...

So what's up?

I've pretty much finished cleaning the tools.

Good work.

But what good is maintaining them if we don't use them?

Between buying this ship and the expedition to Tenroujima, we're strapped for funds.

I know that.

Once we get to Halcyon, we can make a little money.

What was that?

Zera! Dolphins!

Dolphins?

They live in the sea, but they're mammals like us.

They're gentle, full of curiosity,

and love playing with people.

H-Hey!

When did you get a swimsuit?!

I thought something like this might happen.

And what goes better with the sea than a swimsuit?!

Mavis!

Hello! I'm Mavis!

You're greeting me, huh?

Dolphin skin is surprisingly rubbery.

It's totally different from what I imagined after reading books.

A-Are you okay?!

I'll be back in a little while!

B-Back in a little while?

H-Huh?!

It's beautiful.

So much space...

What's that?

Could it be...

Mavis! Are you okay?!

Of course!

More importantly, I found something good!

Please wait here a minute, dolphin-san.

"Something good?"

Wh-What?

You'll see.

What's that?

Magic diving equipment.

When I put on this helmet, I can move about as I like underwater.

Yuri-san and Warrod-san were talking about it.

They said they need to make money soon.

What does that have to do with a magic diving helmet?

There's a shrine at the bottom of the sea.

A shrine?!

And what do shrines contain? Treasures! Fortunes!

Oh, please, this is no legend or fairy tale. Of course there won't be...

If I get my hands on a treasure,

it'll be of help to Yuri-san and Warrod-san.

Wait! Were you even listening to me?

If they wake up, ask them to keep the ship here 'til I'm back.

Would you even listen to me?!

See you later!

Mavis!

I can't be a burden to them.

We're here, dolphins!

I wonder where the entrance is.

You're not going with me?

Okay. Well, please wait here.

It's got to be over there.

That pattern...

As I recall, it's from the ancient Kuril civilization.

Fish?

From this point on, it was built in an orderly fashion.

A dead end...

Only this is a different color.

That's...

...an altar?

This room must have been used for rituals...

And if that's true, I bet they used a crown and stuff like that for the rituals.

This is ancient Kurilic.

This writing probably gives a hint about the treasure.

"This is the house of the god of Kuril.

Only those who are worthy may enter this sacred space.

Those with a wicked heart that trespass here shall incur divine punishment."

D-Divine punishment?

A-Are you protecting the shrine?

At this rate...

Dammit!

All the magic bombs can do underwater is distract it.

There's something else we can do.

Yuri-san! Warrod-san!

We'll talk later!

Get to a safe place!

Right!

Bastard!

Now! Warrod!

All right!

You did it!

My prized casting net!

Crap!

Now we're sealed in here!

What were you doing here by yourself in the first place?!

Actually...

We can talk about it later!

Right now, search for a way out of here!

What is it?!

Maybe this is...

What the hell is it?!

It must be...

Listen!

Don't ignore me!

If I can decipher more of this,

I might be able to find some kind of hint!

All right! We'll take care of the fish. You work on cracking that writing.

W-Will you be okay?

We're treasure hunters.

A pinch like this is nothing to us!

And pinches make you stronger!

"If you are lost, first repent.

Then the path will open naturally.

And when all gazes are directed at the star,

the path will be indicated."

Star?

Star...

When all gazes are directed at the star...

Aren't you done yet?!

Meaning... everyone's looking in the same direction?!

Hurry up!

Then maybe...

...that's what it is!

Hey! What the hell are you doing?!

It says "When all gazes are directed at the star,

the path will be indicated!"

Until now, these statues had their backs turned to the altar!

In other words, they were all gazing in different directions!

Directions?

But if they're all turned inward,

that is, if they're facing the direction of the star...

"The path will be indicated?"

I haven't confirmed it,

but all we can do now is gamble on that!

All right! Now we may be able to escape from here!

N-Nothing's happening...

U-Um...

W-What the...?!

The altar is sinking.

What the hell...?

Hey, does this mean...

...it's a trap designed to wipe out all intruders?!

And I set it in motion?!

Oh, come on!

Sheesh.

I-I'm sorry.

Thanks to you, we were put through the wringer!

Although if it hadn't been for Mavis, we might've been in that fish's belly by now.

Well, the fact remains that you saved us.

That being said...

...we didn't find any treasure, and got blown back to the surface in an explosion.

Except for...

Um, and this...

For real?!

W-Wow...

Here.

You can use it to fund our voyage.

The wind...

Let's go, everyone!

After a long ocean journey,

Mavis and the others arrive at the town of Halcyon.

Her first port town. Her first marketplace.

With that and all kinds of first-time hustle and bustle, Mavis is thrilled.

But she also needs to get on the trail of Blue Skull,

so with her silent comrade, Precht,

Mavis begins to search for information.

Next time: Dancing with a Sword.

Complete mastery of weapons!
