Man, the weather sure changed in a hurry.

Let's find an inn before
we get soaked.

Estelle, what is it?

Oh, I-I just thought a
harbor town would be
more... lively than this.

Yeah, this isn't exactly how
I imagined it either...

But it feels like the kind of place
that core thief you're looking for
would hang out.

Dedecchi was headed
for Torim Harbor.

I'm sure the two are pretty similar.

No way. It's only Nor Harbor
that's scummy like this.

What do you mean?

Nor Harbor is... It's all
because of the empire.

I told you what would happen
to that little brat if you
didn't have our money!

Please, sir!! Not that!
Please give me back my son!

With this awful weather the last few months,
we haven't been able to launch the boats.

Surely you realize sir, we can't
hope to pay our taxes like this.

You'd better hurry up and
capture that Rhybgaro beast
then, shouldn't you?

That's right. If you sell his horn, you'll
never have to worry about taxes again.
How many times do we have to tell you?

Savages...

Is that the sort of scum you
were talking about, Karol?

Yeah, the empire's influence
is really strong here.

I heard things got even worse with the
new magistrate. He's some imperial big
shot who does whatever he wants.

Which means there's no one to
complain to if his henchmen
act like that.

...

But how can that be...?

Teagle, that's enough!
You're hurt... You might even
get yourself killed this time!

But it's our son!
If I don't go...

Oow... What are you
trying to do?!

Oh, sorry about that.
Didn't see you there.

Yuri!!
...My apologies, sir. Let
me take care of that.

B-but I... I can't afford
this treatment...

Don't you have something
else to say?

Huh...?

Jeez...You guys been
robbed of your manners
along with your money?

...I-I'm sorry.
Thank you most kindly.

...

Huh...? Yuri?
