I could hear Vizio’s shrill voice from somewhere above.

“My ship!!!”

“Kyiiiiiii…”

Ponta had tumbled from my neck during the fall. It slowly got to its feet, shaking its head all the while.

I readjusted my helmet and glanced around as my eyes adjusted to the darkness. At my feet, I found a bundle of long, thick rope. It was only then that I noticed just how big the cabin seemed for a ship this size.

Since Ariane was convinced that there were people being held captive here, I figured I should trust her judgment and begin my search of the inner holds.

“We’re here to rescue you! If you’ve been kidnapped, please respond!” I called out as I made my way through the ship, but I didn’t run across anyone other than a few armed crew members who tried to attack me. It was possible that whoever was imprisoned here thought my calls were some ssort of trap.

After knocking out the crew, I continued my search of the ship, trying a different tactic this time.

“I am here on behalf of Miss Toreasa! Frani Markham, please respond if you’re here!”

This time, I received a reply.

“I’m Frani Markham! Are you really here from Miss Toreasa?”

Following the sound of the voice, I found a grate built into the floor of one of the other cabins. I could see fingers poking up through the holes.

Convinced that the rescue attempt was, in fact, real, other voices joined Frani’s.

“Help!”

“Help us!!!”

I easily sidestepped the two crew members guarding the grate and used my sword to cleave the padlock in two. Several relieved-looking people flooded out.

A woman with black hair tied back in a bun, wearing the livery of the servants I’d seen back at the castle, looked up at me with large, shining eyes as she approached me.

“I… I’m Frani Markham. Are you the knight sent by Miss Toreasa?”

“My name is Arc. I am no knight, merely a mercenary honoring a lady’s request.”

It was clear from the look on her face that she didn’t believe me.

“We don’t have long. Everyone, follow me!”

I made sure to keep Frani safely behind me as I kicked down the cabin’s door and stepped out into the hall.

Several crew members tried to fight me as I led the prisoners through the ship, but a swift punch was enough to knock each of them out.

Once we’d made it to the stairwell leading back up to the main deck, I stuck my head out for a peek to find that Ariane was the only one still standing.

“Only you could tear through a ship’s deck without even needing to use magic, Arc. Did you find Frani?”

Ariane’s hair fluttered in the ocean breeze, her amethyst skin shining in the sunlight. She made her way toward us, a bright smile on her face as the crowd on the stairs behind me gawked at her, some cheering, others choking back surprise. It didn’t look like she’d suffered even a scratch.

“Ah, yes. This is Frani, the one Miss Toreasa was looking for.”

Frani stepped forward and bowed her head as I introduced her.
