I see it!

Zera, look! Over there!

You're right.

Yuri! Yuri! I spotted land!

I'm looking forward to walking around town!

I can't wait!

I wonder what kind of place it is.

Quit carrying on.

With this tide, we should arrive in an hour.

The first town Zera and I will encounter after leaving Tenroujima...

That's the port town of Halcyon.

What are you doing there?

Tying what's called a bowline knot.

Bowline knot?

Well, I make a loop

and tighten it so the ship doesn't drift away.

I see. You're good at that.

I haven't read any books about ships,

so I don't know anything about them.

Can you do that too, Yuri?

Don't ask!

Well, there's your answer.

Why can't I ask him?

It means he can't do it.

Oh, you can't do it...

Never mind. Let's disembark.

I'm first!

Welcome! Welcome! Fresh fruit, straight off the tree!

Buy it now! The early bird gets the worm!

This is a town...

The first new town I've ever seen!

Hey, you're holding up the line.

Sorry!

I'll tell you one more thing.

What is it?

You're not the first off the ship.

He got off first, right?

Oh, that's right.

Dances with Blades

This is amazing!

I-It's so crowded...

Look! A fisherman!

I wonder if he's good at catching fish.

I've never seen this before!

But it smells horrible!

Look at this, Zera! It's so beautiful!

He'll get mad at you for putting it on without asking!

They smell so good!

I've only seen these flowers in a picture book.

Beautiful! They're like jewels!

Are they all sweets?

What's this? You've never seen them before?

Yes. They're all homemade.

Here, try one.

Are you sure?

Yes, go ahead.

It's delicious!

This is the first time I've experienced this taste and feeling on my tongue!

It's wonderful!

Zera! Zera!

Try one!

No thanks.

Huh?

I'd rather get some rest.

Nothing impresses you, does it?

After all, we read about all this stuff in books.

You can't experience the whole world through books alone!

You have to look, touch, feel!

She's not just some country bumpkin...

This really is her first time off the island...

I'm surprised.

Yuri!

Zera found us a place to stay!

That's good. We'll probably hang around here for several days.

What's wrong, Precht?

We're on a voyage with an untrustworthy child.

Hey!

I'll gather information on Blue Skull in town.

I'll go to the inn later.

Then I'll go with you!

After all, I haven't really had a chance to talk to you yet, Precht.

Do as you please.

Zera, wait for me at the inn!

Mavis!

See you later, Zera!

Good grief...

Be careful around that man! I don't trust the look in his eye!

What's that?

Look! That looks interesting.

I found something cute!

Hey, that looks delicious!

Wait for me!

You're quiet, huh?

Are you conserving words?

I just have nothing to say to you.

Oh, is that it?

Thank you for telling me!

But there's no need to be so serious.

I don't know this town. You do.

So all you have to do is answer my questions.

That way, I can learn,

and you're just answering from your sphere of knowledge.

Where are you going?

I'm not your guide.

I came here to gather information.

So I'm going to a place with a lot of people.

There you go! All you have to do is answer like that!

Wait!

And it went like this!

There certainly are many people here...

Do you know anything about Blue Skull?

He ran away, huh?

Hey.

Do you know...

...anything about...

...Blue Skull?

Why?

Is Blue Skull feared that much?

I think you're the one who's feared, Precht.

What?

Why?!

You're... a little too close.

I'm scared! I'm scared!

What?

Why did you suddenly cut down that tree?

Well...

Hey! What happened?!

Somebody cut down that tree!

Did that guy do it?!

The clamp on that wheel is loose.

Hey! What are you thinking?!

Well, your wheel...

What about my wheel?!

The clamp on that wheel is loose.

Hey, they're right.

What?!

This is dangerous! You'd better fix it right away!

Lucky you spotted it. Let's go!

Um...

Are you okay?

You suddenly stepped in front of that carriage...

I thought maybe you were ill.

I'm fine.

Look out!

What are you doing?!

You're a pervert!

Hey!

What are you up to?

I bet you were actually trying to make me have an accident!

Wrong. I was...

You sure are drawing a lot of attention.

In a negative sense...

This always happens.

You shouldn't let it bother you.

You haven't done anything wrong.

Knock it off. I don't need your pity.

It isn't pity!

I just say what I feel!

You're socially awkward, which makes people misunderstand you.

But the truth is you're more pure than anyone.

And because of that, you do things that are kind of risky.

Even so, you act out of conviction,

just choosing to do what you think is right.

If that conviction doesn't make you feel shame,

you should walk with your head held high.

I read that in a book about personality assessment.

Looking at you brought it all back.

Huh? The boy from before...

I've been looking for you, sir.

The inside of that tree is rotten.

You saved me, didn't you?

Thank you!

I see. So it was rotten...

Yep. An adult who was nearby told me.

I'm sorry. I was rude to you.

Please, wait. I would like to show my gratitude...

I don't need gratitude.

Actually, we're looking for a guild...

A guild?

There's a bar at the edge of town. It may be a good idea to ask about a guild there.

How do you know that?

The old man over there was talking.

He said only outcasts gather there.

And that the owner knows a lot of people, but he's strange.

It sounds like it would be worth checking out.

Yeah.

Thank you!

Precht... So this is a bar, huh?

It has a unique smell.

What is that smell?

What do you want, little girl?

Nothing.

Hey, guy, this place doesn't serve kids.

But we just want to talk to the owner.

You heard her, barkeep. They want you.

Who are you?

I'm Precht, a treasure hunter.

What's a grave robber doing in a joint like this?

But if you just wanna talk,

naturally...

I'll have a drink.

On the rocks okay?

Sure.

I came because I heard you know a lot of people.

Well, that's the business.

Naturally.

We're looking for Blue Skull.

Do you know them?

Blue Skull?

Nope. I haven't heard of a guild like that in these parts.

Naturally.

Anything would be fine. I want information.

Ask somewhere else.

I thought they'd be a well-known guild.

There've been so many wizard guilds poppin' up lately that I can't remember 'em all.

Naturally.

You want a glass of milk, little girl?

No. I want information.

Then take a hike, babysitter.

Naturally, leaving the doll behind...

I'll check somewhere else.

Wait.

How did you know Blue Skull was a wizard guild?

There are fighter guilds, merchant guilds,

industrial guilds, and many more, but out of all of them,

you said Blue Skull was a wizard guild.

You actually do know them, don't you?

Yeah, um...

Bastard!

What are you trying to do?

Tch! It's only one guy! Get him!

Wow!

I dance with blades.

I have complete control over them.

One lousy treasure hunter...

...can beat a wizard, you think?

A magic ring!

That's Blue Skull's emblem!

Then this man is a member of Blue Skull?

Scum!

Whoa. You'd best not move.

Naturally, if you step outside of the magic circle, you'll be blown to pieces.

Blue Skull is a Dark Guild.

Naturally, we don't get formal job requests.

That's why somebody's needed to gather dangerous intel

here at this local bar, naturally.

And naturally, that somebody is me.

So you're an underling?

Naturally!

No... Don't twist my words, asshole!

So what are you doing?

This character is wrong.

I think it's a kind of magic force field

mainly written with Razon characters...

...but Rogue characters are used only here.

They look similar, don't they?

In other words...

Hey! Don't!

...this magic circle doesn't work!

I stepped outside of the circle, but nothing's happening!

Who are you?!

And I can use magic, too!

Magic, you say?

I studied for seven years.

Naturally, I can use magic like this!

Come!

Sacred guardian beast, descend the stairs of heaven!

Sirius!

Where is Blue Skull's home base?

Please tell me.

O-Okay!

It was an illusion?!

That's right!

Then that giant wolf was a bluff?

That's my magic!

Between this magic and your blades,

I'm sure we'll be able to take back the Tenrou Jade from Blue Skull.

Now we know the enemy's location.

In the town west of here, Magnolia!

We have to tell the others!

You'll fall running off like that.

Ow!

I warned you!

I said you'd fall.

I couldn't hear you!

While on the way to Magnolia, Mavis and the others

spend the night in a forest.

Yuri, Precht, and Warrod talk to Mavis by a mysterious lakeside.

They share the tale of a past adventure,

a tale that demonstrates the strength of their bond.

Next time: Moonlit Lake.

Friendship is strong and kind.
