Haven't sawed logs
like that for a good
long while. *Yawn*

Yeah, it's called oversleeping.

We're ready to hit the
road, so get that sleep
out of your eyes.

Old man, your eyes
look bewitched.

What?! That's bad!

Geez...

...Huh? There are fewer
knights than before...

Yeah. Flynn and his
crew went back to
Nordopolica.

That must mean they were
traveling by night.

Was there some emergency
they had to deal with?

They wanted to eat some fish, so
they went back to Nordopolica.

They're not you, Patty...

Maybe they had to take
care of the monsters
from the coliseum.

I'll bet Palestralle requested
the help of the knights.

Hmm, we'll have to wait and see.

...?

Well, it's just that Flynn said
something about a barricade.

Barricade? What could that mean?

Are they out to arrest
Belius for what happened
in the Great War?

I can't imagine that Palestralle
would be outmaneuvered that
easily by the Knights.

I get the feeling this is
going to get messy.

Maybe we should think
twice about headin' back
ta Nordopolica for now.

But the new moon's almost here.
If we miss this chance who knows
when we might meet Belius again.

If I don't get to Nordopolica,
I can't board a ship.

It would be the end of my
search for the Maris Stella
and my lost memory.

That's all well and good. I'm just
not in a hurry ta get tangled up
with that armor wearin' bunch.

Me neither.

We'll just have to be
careful, like always. No
use panicking about it.

Don't forget, I want
to take a look at the
aer krene in Cados.

Don't worry. I haven't forgotten.
All right, let's head out.
