Chapter 10: Hunchback of Cessabit
With the upper right wing burning, Ishida tried his best to control the plane. Just then, he spotted a raincloud.
It’s never safe to fly near a raincloud. The plane could be struck by lightning, he thought.
But seeing that there was no alternative and that the bullets were coming closer to them by the second. Ishida turned the biplane and headed under the grey cloud.
At once, the fire was put out by the heavy rainfall.
All of a sudden, just when Ishida thought they were safely out of the battleships’ firing range, a stream of bullets crashed into the plane’s fuselage.
Strr-CLANG!

“My parents told me that they hid a secret item inside this cave and that in the far future, a young man and a girl with star-shaped earrings would come to this island. They told me that when that day came, I was to lead them here,” Nina told Ishida and Rhina. “I believe that day has come.”“I’m scared, Grandma,” Jameck said, trembling with fear.“Don’t get worked up, Jameck, you won’t have to go inside,” the woman assured her grandson.“Now, young man, you must go in by yourself. Next, when you walk into the cave and reach the point where you can no longer hear us talking, you must cry, ‘Arise, Great Rexius! Show me the path to Ajens!” Nina instructed.

The next morning, Ishida adjusted the ship’s course to the northeast.Breakfast that day was brief and silent. No one said a single word; each of them seemed to be thinking.The rest of the morning was rather uneventful. The afternoon, however, was quite the opposite.At half-past two, Ishida spotted a plane— a seaplane, actually— in the sky. It appeared to be flying around in circles.Looking through a telescope, Ishida discovered that it was a Piletan aircraft.“How unusual!” he remarked. “The Piletans nev

The cliff that Jameck pointed to was a relatively small one; perhaps it should be called a rock ledge. This landform was surrounded by steep hills and overlooked the ocean. Below the ledge was an area covered in dense fog. Through the openings in the fog, Ishida could see a patch of sand. As Ishida and his companions gathered around the tiny cliff, they discovered something peculiar. It was a cube-shaped, rock-like object that was sticking out of the ledge. It had straight sides, smooth faces, and sharp edges. The thing certainly did not resemble any naturally occurring rock formations, for it had a pyramidal top with a sharp point. Ishida placed his ha

Ishida stood on the deck of his ship, cruising gently through the silent waters.He took a deep breath, inhaling large quantities of the sea air. A cool afternoon breeze began blowing from the west.There was not a single cloud in the sky nor was there any land in sight. Hundreds of kilometers away from civilization, he felt mixed feelings of fear and excitement— along with an uplifting peace of mind he had never felt before.Of course, if he and his friends did not find the great sea city’s treasure vault in time, his hometown would be burnt to ashes. But if they did… perhaps he would find out the truth about what happened to his father.

Ishida and his companions were locked up in a small, damp cell on the flying ship. If it weren’t for a window that let in the dim moonlight, the cell would have been completely dark.Ishida stood leaning against the mossy wall on the opposite side of the window. He stared at the blue crescent moon that seemed to be very close— close enough for him to touch it.He reached his hand out in vain, trying to grab hold of the moon in the cloudy night sky.Sitting next to him was the girl he rescued a long time ago, with her head down and her eyes closed— at least they seemed to be closed.

Ishida did as he was told and immediately went to free his friends. He told them that the pilot who had taken him to “fix the engines” was his elder brother.Soon, the Piletan pilots and prison guards were awake. When they saw three prisoners running down the hallway, they instinctively jerked out their guns and started a shooting frenzy.BANG! BANG! BANG!Clink clink clink!BANG!CLICK!Rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta!BANG! BANG!

As the three brave adventurers were flying over the Gulf of Cessabit, Ishida spotted something very unusual. It was a long, yellow strip of land, perhaps a sandbank or a shoreline. Ishida took a closer look with his binoculars. He saw a sandy beach with coconut trees blowing in the gentle breeze and round pebbles scattered all over the place. “How is this possible? We’re about to fly inland!” Ishida said in dismay. “Ajens is a sea city, it can’t be on land!” “Maybe we flew over it when it was hidden beneath some clouds,” Rhina suggested. “We might have to fly lower.” “No, we’re already flying low. And Ajens is a huge floating island. No cloud can be large enough to hide it. Besides, Takao said that we need to fly a h

At the same time, the Piletan captain anxiously paced the decks of his warship.He watched uneasily as the suspicious plane with the Piletan star painted underneath its wings circled above them in the air.One part of him wanted to shoot the plane down or at least order the people flying to land for a thorough investigation.Another part of him was reluctant to do anything, for the aircraft had the seal of a well-known Piletan admiral painted on its fuselage.Therefore, the captain dared not open fire. Instead, he foraged through the containers in his cabin, in search of something that would help him contact the pilot.“Captain Paxis, is this what you are looking for?” a sailor abrupt
