Midsummer Island Adventure: Part II

Summer Vacation: Proceed With Caution


Summer Vacation: Proceed With Caution
Though these islands seem completely cut off from the rest of the world, they are somehow chock-full of hidden secrets and mysterious mechanisms. The party settles here for now and starts to get a taste of island life in the summer...
Paimon:
Ahh... The weather's so nice. Still feels like Paimon's dreaming.
Paimon:
Good morning! Wh—Wha, what's with everyone's clothes!?
Barbara:
Hehe! So, how do we look?
Barbara:
We changed into summer clothes! Although we didn't come here to have fun, we don't want to miss out on a beautiful summer day by the sea!
Jean:
Th—This doesn't look weird, does it?
Jean:
Such light and summery clothing definitely doesn't suit me... Ah, hehe... pardon me.
Jean:
Really...? Thank you, Traveler.
Paimon:
It's surprising that Master Jean would specially pack summer clothes.
Barbara:
Oh no, my big sister would never pack these herself. Lisa and I picked them out for her.
Paimon:
Blurting out "big sister" and not even realizing it... Barbara's drunk on summer already!
Jean:
There's quite a story behind these summer clothes...
Jean:
I thought Lisa's pouch was to be used for an emergency. I didn't expect it to contain a set of summer clothing.
Paimon:
All these accessories, too... Definitely Lisa's handiwork.
Jean:
Everyone in the Knights of Favonius is always trying to have me take leave. I suppose I do push myself too much...
???:
Everyone, come over here!
Jean:
That's Klee's voice!
Klee:
I saw something weird.
Paimon:
Huh? What's going on? What do you mean by something weird?
Klee:
Look at the ocean!
Klee:
See? There's something weird floating on the water!
Jean:
That narrow device... It seems to be a buoy.
Barbara:
But we didn't see anything when we arrived here yesterday...
Klee:
Dodo-King must have put them there!
Paimon:
Strange devices that just appear overnight... Something doesn't add up.
Klee:
Well, since he hasn't revealed himself to us, does that mean he's changed his mind? Or maybe...
Klee:
Maybe these buoys are a clue and he's waiting for me to find him!
Barbara:
So could that be why these buoys have suddenly appeared?
Traveler:
Let's take a closer look and find out.
Paimon:
Right, we won't solve anything by guessing on-shore.
Barbara:
Is it okay to go out there though?
Jean:
Perhaps, but we must investigate the buoys regardless.
Jean:
It's hard to say what will be waiting for us at sea. Just in case, prepare yourselves for combat.
Jean:
Once you are ready, please assemble here, and we'll head over on the boat together.
Traveler:
That's our Master Jean!
Jean:
N—Not at all. This is... just my duty.
Jean:
Now then, I'll entrust the preparation efforts to all of you.
Jean:
What could those buoys possibly mean...?
Jean:
These islands are isolated from the outside world, like a secret Domain crafted by nature itself.
Jean:
We were guided here by the letter and with the assistance of Venti and Dvalin... Everything seems a bit too serendipitous. I'm a little concerned.
Jean:
But I'm here to protect you all, so please don't worry. Come what may, I will face it head-on.
Jean:
Have you finished your preparations?
Jean:
There is no need to rush. Take your time organizing your things. I will wait for you all here.
Barbara:
Hmm? Is there anything I can do?
Barbara:
I just want to say that the ocean here is beautiful!
Barbara:
Sea and sun — a summer dream come true!
Barbara:
I really want to have a seaside performance! It would be amazing, I just know it!
Klee:
Hmm, I need to bring Jumpy Dumpties, Dodoco, and... myself!
Klee:
Dodo-King must have placed those things in the ocean! He's a bad guy!
Klee:
But I will bravely face him and do my best for Dodoco!
Klee:
Mr. Honorary Knight, thank you for helping me.
Paimon:
Ah, what's going on here? This part of the ocean is way too mysterious!
Barbara:
This whole stretch of land just rose out of the water!
Klee:
Dodo-King, Dodo-King, I'm gonna catch you! Hehe!
Paimon:
Looks like Klee's as energetic as ever.
Jean:
Before the ground started shaking, I heard the sound of machinery. I believe there may be an immense mechanical structure under this region of the ocean.
Jean:
With the entire archipelago situated on a mechanical framework, it could be activated to raise each island from beneath the water.
Barbara:
Something like that would be nothing short of a miracle... Could it be the power of the Anemo Archon, Barbatos?
Paimon:
Hmm, probably not. Paimon feels like this is more likely a deliberate set-up...
Jean:
It's incredible, no matter how you think of it. Using a letter to draw us here and these challenges involving various mechanisms... This so-called Dodo-King is no amateur.
Traveler:
I agree with Jean.
Barbara:
Aw, there goes the holiday mood...
Jean:
...
Jean:
Well, either way, I will do my best to remain vigilant.
Paimon:
Wow! Master Jean's so cool when she's determined!
Traveler:
Paimon and I will also exercise increased caution.
Jean:
Thank you for your understanding.
Klee:
I found him! It's Dodo-King!
Klee:
He's over on that island! Hee-hee, gotcha!
Klee:
You wanted Klee to come find you, so here Klee comes! Jumpy Dumpties, get ready~! Let's go!
Barbara:
Is that... a platform in the middle of the ocean?
Jean:
Something has appeared. Everyone, we can take a closer look, but please be on guard.
Jean:
Everyone, please be careful!
Paimon:
Huh? Is that a really tall person?
Barbara:
It resembles a human, but something's not quite right.
Klee:
Dodo-King, I see you! You can, uh, Arb... Arbi...
Paimon:
Arbitrate!
Klee:
Right! You can arbitrate Klee!
Paimon:
Ugh! What is this kid saying!?
Jean:
She obviously doesn't understand what that word means...
Klee:
Hey, Dodo-King! Why are you ignoring me?
Klee:
Is it because I took too long and made you angry? Then... I'm sorry!
Barbara:
Huh, and now she's apologizing? I didn't see that coming...
Klee:
Hello! Dodo-King!
Barbara:
It looks like they're not interested in Klee at all.
Jean:
It's some kind of humanoid machine. No response... It must be damaged.
Barbara:
Oh, do you recognize it?
Jean:
No, I can only guess. It looks completely out of place on this island... Look at its clothes. It appears like it came from Inazuma.
Paimon:
Inazuma? But isn't that really far away?
Traveler:
So this machine isn't from around here?
Jean:
It would appear so. This area of the sea is independent and does not border any country, so it certainly seems out of place here.
Jean:
But given Inazuma's current situation, how could something like this occur...?
Paimon:
An abandoned machine... Weird! Did someone bring it here?
Klee:
Oh no! Dodo-King isn't moving anymore!
Jean:
Klee, maybe Dodo-King is tired.
Paimon:
Right, right, Dodo-King is probably asleep. He was waiting so patiently for you and then *yawn* — nap time!
Barbara:
Let's go with Klee to play elsewhere and come back once Dodo-King wakes up.
Klee:
Really?
Barbara:
Of course!
Klee:
Hm... No, I get it now!
Klee:
This isn't Dodo-King. The real Dodo-King is somewhere else.
Jean:
Huh? I—Is that right?
Klee:
I won't give up. Dodo-King, just wait! We'll find you!
Paimon:
And there she goes again... Whew, she's got a lot of spirit.
Barbara:
Klee, wait for us!
Barbara:
Honorary Knight, look here!
Paimon:
Huh? What's this?
Barbara:
Look at these stacked-up stones and small flowers...
Barbara:
It feels like a memorial for someone.
Barbara:
Hey, you're embarrassing me...
Paimon:
But the only other thing around here is that machine in Inazuman clothing.
Barbara:
Could the memorial be for the machine?
Jean:
Perhaps it once performed some deed that merited a memorial.
Barbara:
...
Jean:
Everything we've seen here indicates that there was once a human presence in these waters. Still, there isn't enough for us to infer what kind of civilization it was.
Jean:
And up to now, we still have yet to see any people or gravestones.
Klee:
Master Jean, can I go over there and have a look?
Jean:
Yes, but be careful!
Klee:
Okay!
Traveler:
How many secrets do these islands hold?
Jean:
Klee is too young to have a proper sense of danger. Traveler, the rest of us must stay alert to the situation.
Jean:
Honestly speaking, I thought that letter was only a prank at first.
Paimon:
That's what we thought.
Barbara:
I suspected as much too, but who would send a prank letter to a child?
Jean:
A letter that guides us to activate mechanisms on a deserted archipelago... It's bizarre.
Jean:
It makes me wonder whether this isn't some kind of trap, long in the making. We must keep our guard up.
Klee:
Miss Barbara!
Barbara:
Klee, what's wrong?
Klee:
Do you think that Dodo-King doesn't want to see Klee?
Barbara:
Why would the Dodo-King not want to see you, Klee?
Klee:
Dodoco loves me, an—and I love Dodoco, so Dodo-King can never separate us. That's why Dodo-King doesn't want to see us...
Klee:
*whimper* Klee doesn't want him to separate us.
Barbara:
...
Barbara:
Hey Klee, do you know what this is?
Klee:
It's a harpastum!
Barbara:
I heard my big sis— Uh, Master Jean say that Klee always wanted to play harpastum, right?
Klee:
Yeah! Klee was just thinking about Ludi Harpastum!
Barbara:
I made this harpastum especially for you. Now every day can be Ludi Harpastum, hee-hee!
Klee:
Yay!
Traveler:
The kindness of a deaconess...
Barbara:
So keep your chin up, Klee! After we meet Dodo-King, we can all help you convince him to let you and Dodoco stay together.
Klee:
Okay!
Traveler:
Let's double our efforts. We have to find him.
Klee:
Yeah!
Paimon:
Leave it to us Klee. This Dodo-jerk can't hide forever.
Paimon:
Even if it takes a thousand years and a thousand searches... uh, w—we'll get him! Ahem...
Paimon:
But until then, let's have a good look around the area!
