We've got to seal it off somehow!

What's going on?
Any sunken treasure
down there?

Yeah, but you're late
so I'm not sharing.

Hah hah. How nice.

Hey, its sink or swim in this world.

Looks like that blue-blooded mage
we hired to fix the blastia left the
job half done.

Glad you could find the
time to stop by, Yuri!

Take it easy with the water
sports, old man. You're not
getting any younger.

You're up next. Not
afraid of a little
water, I hope.

Yikes.

Come on now, put your backs
into it! Heave, ho! Heave...

Hanks is really
going at it.

He feels responsible. He's the one
who pushed the people to get the
money together for the repairs.

And now he's the one who's all wet.

It's not Hanks' fault that mage did
a two-bit repair job though.

That's true. He even parted
with his wife's keepsake to
help raise the money.

Hey, Yuri! If you're not
gonna help out, stand clear!
This is dangerous!

Hanks, did you see the blastia core anywhere?
You know, that shiny piece in the center.

Huh?
...Is it gone?

Yeah. The blastia
won't work with
the core missing.

That aristocrat who came to do the repairs was
the last person to touch the blastia, right?

That's right, a Mr. Mordio.

And he lives in the royal quarter?

Yeah, so?

Forget about that Yuri,
give us a hand here!

...Sorry Hanks, I just remembered
an errand I've gotta run.

Hey, wait just a minute!

You're not seriously thinking
of going to Mr. Mordio's
place are ya?

The royal quarter? Me? I wouldn't
be caught dead going to a place
like that. It gives me the creeps.

Damn it, Yuri... Just because you can
do a few tricks with that bodhi blastia,
you think you're invincible.

Here's hoping he doesn't
do anything crazy...

He always seems to cause
problems when the lower
quarter's involved.

Even the Knights have started
keeping an eye on him...

Well, it's just an average day for
Yuri. I'm sure he'll be fine.
