Captain, there's no moon out!
We should drop anchor for the night!

Go for it!
Oh!

Oh!

Snip snip
What do you guys think?

Page 49

Pete said it would be easier to travel like this.

You're so cute, Milka! Right, Coco?
...

Not really.

Whoa!

!?
W-What was that!?

Eek!
Oh!

Eek! Did you see anything...?
...You're panties? Yeah, I saw'em.

Pervert!
What's the big deal? It's just panties.
Kamara didn't care who saw hers.
Did we hit land, Bakuchi?

Page 50

My bad.
It seems we got beached.

Geez. *I should slap you.*
Captain.

According to what's written here...
...This seems to be the right place.

Jump

Step

Man, you can't see anything in this darkness.

Page 51

Nose, is there anything is written there?
Aye.

"I... am the key to the Modarei"

Modarei...?
I haven't the foggiest.

Modarei...
is a desert creature the Falconians worshipped as a god.

Hoo! You're a smart one! Unlike another shitty brat we know.
I just know a few things about the Falconians.

...Tch!
...Tch.

...


We're setting up camp for the night, ya scurvy dogs.
We'll search the island first thing in the morning.

Barts.
The stars sure are bright tonight.
...

...Hey, Coco.
When you look out into the infinite sea of stars...

Do you ever think about how people meet?

...
Meet?

For example, you could live your life and never run into someone in the same town.
Or you could run into an enemy and lose your life...

Page 53

Out of all those people we could have met, we found each other and ended up together on this ship.

It's miraculous.

*Hup* And the stars teach us one more thing.
Is this about Milka?

Out of all these infinite meetings, some are nothing short of miraculous. However, some never realize this and fail to cherish them.

People who do that may miss out on the most important people of their lives.

Look.
If you live like that...

Page 54

There will be only darkness.

...

Page 56

Yaaawn...
It's hot.

Captain, this island...
Yeah.

It's a desert.

You can say that again.

Page 57

It's just one giant beach...

Nothing but sand as far as he eye can see.

How should we search...?

Why didn't you guys wake me?
Huh?

Now this is what I'm talking about! *Explore! Explore!!*
You shouldn't run off on your own!
Shut up!!

Page 58

Huh?

Eeeek!

Coco!?

Quicksand!?
Dumb brat!!

Wahhhhh!

Coco!

Quick! Grab the rope!
Eek!
Eek!

Page 58

Grab
!?

That's not quicksand!

A giant antlion!?
Draw your swords!!

Wahhhhh!!!

Is that... Modarei?
It looks like a giant cricket.

It's disrespetful to call the God of the Desert a giant cricket.

Page 64

!?

It went under...

Where is it?
Who knows?

Yeah... If this were the sea, we'd be still able to see it.
