Chapter 56: Labyrinth

Page 88

Rock, paper, scissors!
Rock, paper, scissors!
Rock, paper, scissors!
This isn't getting us anywhere! Let's try something else...

Page 89

After finally unlocking the door in the Modarei, we were greeted bythree entrances to a maze, so we decided to split into three teams to continue our search!
We're doing this until we get somewhere! Rock, paper, scissors!!

Rock, paper...

...scissors!
Yes!!

Page 90

We'll be Team One! We'll go through the right door.

Team Two, middle door!
Aye!!

The rest of you get the left door!
Hey!
Captain, please look.

Page 91

There's some Falcon script on the back of the door...?

"First wake the watchman"... That's it.

Watchman...?
What're you doing, Pete?
This'll do!

Everyone please take one of these spools before you leave.
Roll
Hold it by the handle like this.

The end of the spool is tied to a rock over here.
Roll roll
This way if you get lost, you can just follow the string back here!

Ho...That trick, huh?
Huh?
No... It's nothing.

...
...Hey...

Page 92

Why did I get stuck with the brats?
I'm already eight years old!
I'm nine! *I'm older than Coco.*

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's just go.
I look forward to it.
Wait, Bakuchi!

Do we have to bring Milka with us? I don't feel like babysitting...
Geez, you should just wait back on the ship! Girls shouldn't be pirates anyways!

Is Kamara not a girl?
And Spard?
That's only two...
And I wouldn't call them girls...

Hmph!

Are you saying Kamara and Spard have penises?
Huh?
Huh?
Have you seen them?
What the heck are you saying?
...

Page 93

Why don't we leave it up to Milka?
Whaddya wanna do?
I wanna go!
Clench

But she'll slow us down!!

...! ...!
Then you better pick up the slack!

Okay... Okay...
Then it's settled!

If you find something, cut your string and meet back here!
When we all meet up again, we'll continue down the most promising path!
Sound good!?

Let's set out!!

Page 94

How wonderful. It's hard to believe that outside of this maze is a desert.
Roll roll
It's a bit cramped in here.

Are the kids gonna be all right with just Bakuchi watching them...?
Roll roll
I dunno. Probably.

"Dunno"...? Well, they do have Alice, but it's still dangerous.

Age has nothing to do with it.
Danger is what makes it exciting!

...

That's not how normal people think...
Really?
Roll roll

Page 95

Da!
Roll roll
Daradada Daa Daa!!
Haha, you sure are in high spirits!
What the hell is that song?

Which way now?
Right?
Left?
Hey, Milka. Why don't you tell us some more about the Falconians?
Ah... There has been more I wanted to tell you guys...

The Falcon civilization flourished thanks to the Power Stones. And during that time, there existed two factions...
In time, tensions grew between the two factions, and that's what brought about the end of the Falconians.
Both sides developed their own living weapons.
One side developed the Titans; and the other, the Changelings...

Page 96

Coco can control both the Titans and the Changelings.
Coco must be a very special person...

Stop it!
Don't talk like that!

But I really do think you're special...

Shut up! I'm just an orphan from Inogasweeda and now I'm being treated all special! First I find out I'm an Oldblood!!
Now on top of that, I'm some sort of special Oldblood...!

Hold on a sec!!

...

Page 97

I gotta pee.
Let's keep talking after I'm done.
Eeeeek! Bakuchi!!

Sorry about that. You guys go on ahead.
Wait, did you see his penis? Huh? Huh?
Geez! You're the worst!!

Geez, I guess I shouldn't have whipped it out in front of a nine-year-old girl.
Whoops!

Is that all it takes to bother a girl? Taking a piss!?
...
Pete's penis is huge, you know.

You have to treat us special.
Huh?
You have to treat women special!

Page 98

...I do.
As a man, I protect all women.
...

Bakuchi's running late.
Roll roll
No worries. He can just follow the string to us!

I'll protect you until Bakuchi gets back! I promised Barts!
Ping

Grind

Snap

So let's go!!

Page 99

Is this the watchman...? It's just a statue...
I don't think it's just a statue.

"First wake the watchman," huh...?

Okay!! Let's wake it!!

Throb
Throb

Page 100

Ouch!
It's surprisingly sturdy. I guess it isn't just a statue.
Guess not.
Shall we head back?

Ahhhhhhh!!!

Ching
All that excitement for nothing.
You're still trying?

Page 101

It's just a statue.
Dammit!!
Please stop.
Watchman!
It's not gonna wake up.
Oi!

Pant
...Cut the string.
Let's go back.

...

Crap...
This is a disaster...

Co-...

No, calling out is just going to get them more lost...
What should I do? Should I go back!?

Page 102

The Oldblood ability can only be passed on if both parents are pureblood...
And even then, it's not always a guarantee.

That's why there are so few of us... Oldblood, I mean.

And that's why...

Meeting you...
...was a miracle!

Out of all these infinite meetings, some are nothing short of miraculous.
...

Tch! Like I know what you're saying!!
Blah, blah, blah.
Coco, wait! That's...!

Page 103

This... This statue...
Is it the watchman...?

Should we head back?
We'll leave the string here and...
Huh...?

Pull
What's wrong?
Pull
Pull

It got cut...

Crack
Crack
Crack

Page 104

Eeeeeeeeek!!

Milka!? ...Coco!
