Chapter 32: A Summer Memory
The three travelers waited until everyone was done moving before getting onto the train. Rhina sat down next to an elderly lady whose head was covered by a shawl. Ishida and Master Aram remained standing and let the other passengers take their seats.
“Hello there,” the old lady said to Rhina. “Would you like to have some cookies?”
The lady handed a small chocolate chip cookie to Rhina. “If you like it, I’ll give you another one.”
“Thank you.” Rhina smiled. She took the cookie and bit into it. “Amazing! Did you make this yourself?”
The lady nodded happily. “Here, gi

The rest of the train ride was relatively uneventful. Ishida and Rhina stared out the window, marveling at the astonishing scenery.Everything was so flat— it was like they were on a whole new planet with just flat plains extending in all directions. Some of the plains were agricultural ones while some were flower fields, and the rest were just grass.But even the grass here was different from the grass on Mount Lagoda. It was taller, reflected more light, and looked gold-like.After the plains finally vanished, the travelers saw what they were expecting to see: the Holy Mountains.Twelve peaks— one in the middle and the others surrounding it— rose from

A few moments later, Rhina was on the other side of the canyon with Ishida. Just two seconds after she jumped, the entire bridge collapsed and plummeted down to the river.Both of them were silent, staring at each other. After they had recovered from the shock of nearing death, they headed up Mount Siwalai.The first part of the journey was not very difficult; although there were parts of the mountain slope that were covered in dense, overgrown forests, it was pretty flat— at least for the most part.A certain portion of the trip required Ishida and Rhina to climb a cliff face, which was less enjoyable than walking through thick jungles.Ishida climbed up the cliff with his bare hands, as it was not ver
Lost City at Sea Chapter 35: The Avalanche Strikes
The opening of the cave was less than ten meters away. The avalanche, meanwhile, continued to increase its already inconceivable speed and was just a few hundred meters away from the two travelers.Five meters to go! Rhina continued pushing forward. She was not about to give in to Mother Nature. A few seconds later, her vision was obscured by the huge clouds of snow that rushed ahead of the avalanche.Even though she could not see beyond her own nose, she remained calm. Three meters!Soon, Rhina could feel the opening of the cave with her own hands. She lifted Ishida from the “snow raft” and promptly threw him into the cave. She was about to rush in as well wh

Ishida had not regained his consciousness, but he was still breathing and his pulse was not fainting.Rhina went around searching for the “snow raft,” only to find that it had been smashed to pieces by a huge boulder that was brought down the mountain with the avalanche.She then tried to find a log to use as a new “snow raft,” but all of the logs on the mountainside were either splintered, cracked, or much too large to pull.Rhina had been trapped underground for about three hours, and she was now running behind schedule. It would only be a matter of time before the sinks under the horizon and the darkness settles in.Rhina lifted Ishida onto her back, and, with a miraculously renewed and empower
Lost City at Sea Chapter 37: A Chaotic Conference
It mustn’t be forgotten that far beneath the clouds, during the climax of the journey of the two young explorers, one of the largest wars the world had ever seen was raging on the continent of Piletus.When Rhina was trapped underground by the avalanche, an emergency assembly was held in Piletus City, with all the Piletan generals and admirals summoned to the palace of Emperor Khartoum the Seventeenth.There, the leaders of the Piletan military forces began arguing over whose strategy should be put into effect and about whether the Piletan forces should be saved to defend the capital or used to launch a counter-attack on the rapidly-advancing Medietans.General Iskenderson, who was the highest-ranking general in the Imperial Piletan Army, sat at the emperor&rs
Lost City at Sea Chapter 38: Walking on Water
Ishida and Rhina were journeying down the steadily declining slope of Mount Siwalai, walking hand in hand. They had journeyed past the meditating sage of Mount Siwalai, making as little sound as possible as they went. The sun was now about halfway between the uppermost part of the sky and the horizon. Below them was a valley in which a vast lake stood in between the feet of Mount Siwalai and Mount Nawarat. The lake’s water was clear blue, enriched by mineral deposits that came flowing down the slopes of the Holy Mountains every spring in the form of melted snow: water. The two travelers said nothing to each other. They simply smiled and continued down the grassy slope of the mountain. “Lake Azure,” as Ishida called it, was soon within an arm’s reach
Lost City at Sea Chapter 39: The Last Mosaic Painting
Lieutenant Monte’s agent was surprised to find his boss in Rexia Castellum shortly before sundown. It was at the least favorable moment that the lieutenant spotted his agent, clad in an all-black suit and relaxing in a cafe.The lieutenant was unsurprisingly furious. He ordered Sarem and Alamein to wait outside and stormed into the cafe. He trashed the place, turning tables over and smashing several chairs to oblivion.The owner of the cafe and the Del Cealans who had nothing to do with the matter took flight and rushed out the door in a stampede. With no one else around, Lieutenant Monte was free to let all of his rage explode onto his indolent agent.“Agent Lazy-Head!” Lieutenant Monte yelled in rage. “I did
Lost City at Sea Chapter 40: The Final Challenge
“Bring it on!” Ishida and Rhina said in unison.The Guardian nodded. “As you wish— let’s get started. The question may sound simple, but it is far more complicated than you can imagine. The question is: what is the purpose of your search for Ajens?’ I repeat: this question is far more complicated than you think.”Ishida turned to Rhina. “I have the answer. You know it too, don’t you? Do you want to say it?”Rhina shook her head. “I know what the answer you’re thinking of is, but I think we should think very carefully before answering.”Ishida ignored Rhina’s advice and said to the giant, “The purpose of our journey was for us to have a talk wit
