Wow...

What are you so
amazed about?

So this is what a princess' suite
looks like... You lived in a room
this nice, Estelle? Amazing...

Karol, it's rude to ogle at
a lady's personal effects.

Back when I first came to this room,
Estelle threatened me at sword-point.

...Yuri?

I didn't really mean
to threaten you...

There are so many books here...
You must really love reading.

Oh, I'm still in the middle
of reading that one.

It's the tale of a nameless pirate's
grand adventure. It's very thrilling!

Oh ho? A pirate, you say?
Aye, I couldn't possibly pass
this up! Hmm? What's this?

Huh? What's up?

This book... it's the
Tale of Gran Carei!

Gran Carei?
Isn't that...

Gran Carei?

He's the great pirate that founded
Serpent's Dream, the pirate guild
that preceded Siren's Fang.

Legend has it that he discovered
a paradise known as the
Garden of the Waning Moon.

Aye, and the Maris Stella and
Maris Gemma are said to be
the keys to reach that paradise.

Huh. So there was a reason they
gravitated towards each other.

Aye. It's a well-know legend among
seamen. I was planning on searching
for it myself some day.

And this book can tell us
exactly how to find it!

Lemme have a look-see...
“Head for the heart of the ocean and
present the keys. Once the keys are
so enshrined, recite the incantation...”

“Know thee the tranquility of the ocean,
where stars shine, and coral blooms.”

Stars... Coral...
Do you think this
could be all true?

I dunno, sounds like nonsense to me.
This book was probably written way
after the fact.

But still, doesn't that mean
there really was something
about stars and coral?

That's right. This may just mean
the paradise really does exist.

Aye! Looking for paradise is
every pirate's dream! Who could
resist an adventure like that?

Really? Paradise?
Great...

Can't you indulge in daydreaming
just once, Rita?

Well excuse me for
being pragmatic!

We'll never know unless we take
a look for ourselves. Aye, we've
got to take action!

Easy, there. Where exactly
are you planning to search?

Um... The heart... of the ocean?

And where's that, exactly?

If I recall, we found the Maris
Stella in the Shrine of Zaude.

Perhaps we can find a clue
somewhere inside Zaude.

Um, we found the Maris Stella
in the Shrine of Zaude, right?

Maybe there's a clue
somewhere in Zaude.

Now that ya mention it, I've heard
the area 'round Zaude's been called
“the navel of the world” before.

That's kinda like bein' the
heart of the ocean.

Hm? That's odd. There's
nothing in this book about
the paradise itself.

I wonder if there's
a reason for that.

It must be a place so magnificent
that it can't be described in words!

Yeah, yeah, I get it. Next
time we hit Zaude, we'll
look into your paradise.

Oh, what's this?

Something someone stuck between
the pages and forgot?

It's so pretty...
Can I bring it with me?

Sure, why not?
Why are you asking me?
Isn't that your book?

Oh, you're right!
