Banshee's Lament

Damn it... You're abusing your power to bully others, it's absolutely despicable!

It's far more despicable that you secretly poisoned us...

Macha Macha, let's go!

Oh......

Don't let them get away!

I'll go after them, you guys keep up!

Alright!

Uh... Aren't they running a bit too fast...?

Indeed, a normal yacht doesn't have such horsepower...

Let's head in a certain direction first. It seems to be... towards the East Island.

Hold on, what about Captain Macha's treasure?

Let's not worry about that for now...

Isn't it said that the treasure is under the ''brilliant morning sun''? It's still early now, let's return for the expedition at sunrise tomorrow.

Nevertheless, I object! The security in your scenic area is simply appalling! I demand a refund!

I'm sorry, it's our fault for not taking good enough care...

If it weren't for Morgan, I would have almost lost my life...

Hmm... On the contrary, I believe we should be delighted.

We really encountered a sea monster guarding Captain Marcha's treasure... Don't you think this fits perfectly with the development of an adventure story?

We should pursue that sea monster, the clue to the treasure might just be hidden on its body!

No doubt, it's Gryph's sister!

Such an abundance of energy... Everyone, hold tight!

Toot toot~ The ship has arrived at the East Island~

It seems that the resort over here is even more luxurious...

Psh, it's just a few more houses... It's really not a big deal!

There are also more food and entertainment options available here~

The resort on the East Island is close to the small town, which adds a touch of liveliness...

Hmm... indeed, running a business in a competitive market is quite challenging.

Who knows what Niz is thinking.

Speaking of which, where has Garula gone?

Hello!

Is there anything you need help with?

We are looking for a girl from Nebu, she is a bird Case. She just surfed to this island...

There are many people with dark skin on this island, aren't you and I among them too?

There are quite a few people who enjoy surfing, and with just these Bio-Chips, I might not be able to help you find someone.

It sounds like you're a Nebu person as well?

Yes, the inhabitants of this island come from all over the world, with Nebu people making up a small portion.

That's really strange, this island is actually closer to Bifrost, isn't it...

What's there to fuss about? You're also having fun on this island, aren't you?

The Nebu tribes living in the desert all yearn for the experience of life by the seaside.

Hence, many people seized the opportunity to move here after the turmoil of war. The climate here is far more pleasant than that of the desert!

So, which faction's jurisdiction does this area fall under?

This is not a territory controlled by the four major powers, but a small town exclusively operated by the Vanguard Group.

The Vanguard Group? That would mean...

Our place has been managed by the Outpost Group for many years, and the island's residents are either tourists or employees of the Outpost Group.

All kinds of supplies on the island are transported from the mainland, which led to a rather tight living condition in the past few years. Consequently, many people have left the island...

...Over the past few years, thanks to the tourism industry, our development has been quite satisfactory, definitely better than staying in Nebu.

However, one or two disappearances occur on the island every year, to which we have become quite accustomed.

Does it happen every year?

Indeed, this place is close to the sea, and it's inevitable to encounter storms and sea monsters when going out to sea...

Do you know about sea monsters?

Who isn't aware of the formidable sea monsters? After all, we live in an era where the emergence of various creatures is a common occurrence.

Doesn't the vanguard group take care of the frequently appearing sea monsters?

Dare not meddle with it! I've heard, you see, these sea monsters are the cherished minions of the Banshee Lady.

They emerge once a year to consume two unfortunate souls, and in return, the Lady Banshee ensures the island enjoys a year of favorable weather and smooth sailing.

Some also say that those who are captured by sea monsters are able to enjoy a life of luxury on the island of the Siren Queen. Some people even wish to be captured, preferring that to suffering in this apocalyptic world!

Perhaps your friend is the chosen offering for this year's Banshee Lady!

...I see. Could you tell me if the Vanguard Group has an office here?

Yes, it's right there at the port ahead. If you're considering immigration, that's where you can handle it.

Thank you for your kindness.

Hmm... Unexpectedly, after distancing from Nebu, the tradition of human sacrifice has been passed down in another way.

Lady Banshee, I implore you to release Garula and take me instead...

Don't rush to pray, there must be something fishy going on here.

I don't trust the Vanguard Group at all.

Hello? May I ask...

Hey! Don't you recognize me?

You seem somewhat familiar, but I can't quite place it... Have you been on television before?

Just a heads up, I'm a professional eSports player.

I see! You're Babs, the champion player of the game ''Vanguard Shadow''! What brings you here?

Calm down, calm down, what am I here for again? Agent, could you please answer that!

Ahem, Miss Babs is visiting Long Summer Island this time to shoot the promotional video for the new season...

Eh? I haven't received such a notification yet...

What's going on? Is this how you welcome me? There must be someone who hasn't done their communication job properly!

Bring your supervisor over to me!

Please calm down, I'll immediately inquire who forgot to synchronize the message with everyone...

Don't waste time, just call everyone over here immediately!

Alright, alright...

The opportunity has arrived, everyone hurry up and search their warehouse!

Where is the warehouse......

Is the division of the Vanguard Group also built on such a grand scale? That's really lavish.

I'm so envious of such a working environment!

Hmm, there seems to be someone up ahead... dressed in white.

Be careful, sister, it could be an enemy!

Ah... It's the White Banshee that sister Camelia has seen before!

Huh? So, the witch is also an employee of Rasparta...

It appears as though that enchantress is seemingly guiding us on our way.

At this point, we really don't have much of a choice left. Let's hurry up and catch up with her!

Alright then!

Unusual, oh so unusual...

What's the matter, Miss Yora?

Miss Camelia has indeed shown a rare display of courage...

Look, the Garula has been tied up!

Garula, wake up! We're here to rescue you!

How did you all get here? Run, quickly!

Hehe, a bunch of fools, hooked again!

This familiar feeling... it's back again!

Hehe, a bunch of idiots, as expected, you've taken the bait.

Do you think I only know how to deploy signal transmitters at the observation station?

This time, on my home turf, don't even think about causing havoc easily!

We're completely at a disadvantage now... But do you think we'll fall for the same trick twice? Do you take us for fools?

Why do I feel like I'm being insulted...

Are you suggesting that you've damaged the company's transmission tower? This can't be possible...

Your transmission station is all being used to broadcast Babs' assault live...

Hello everyone, happy summer! I am the league champion of Vanguard Secret Shadow, Babs!

Today, we made a surprise visit to the Dongdao Resort, an investment of the Outpost Group. Together, we experienced the local scenic beauty and delicious cuisine...

Damn it! I didn't expect you guys to be playing video games too, such a dereliction of duty!

No worries, I have a spare radar stashed away in the dock...

Here I am!

And who might you be?

Damn it, I was tricked into coming to Dongdao for a business trip, missing out on the fun of going out to sea with everyone else! And it turns out, even the work was a sham!

I clearly asked them to treat you to a meal...

I've already digested it!

...

Drop dead!

Awakener, how did you suddenly appear out of nowhere?

I was hoodwinked into taking a business trip to the East Island, only to find out that there was no work at all.

Little Ye told me that you guys have arrived at Dong Island, so here I am, waiting patiently for you.

After a busy day, let's hurry and return by boat!

I need to go up and provide some support for Babs...

Oh, what's this on the ground? A white cloak?

Stop looking, stop looking! With such a big commotion, the vanguard group might be rushing over here any minute now!

Ah, alright...

Interestingly, it seems we haven't alerted the people from the outpost group.

They're probably all busy accompanying Babs on her travels.

Let me inspect their computer to see if there's any evidence that could substantiate their guilt!

If it could be found, that would indeed be a great achievement~

I'll lend a hand as well, to see if I can uncover any evidence related to the maritime disaster that occurred here...

Top-secret Bio-Chips folder... Island Tourism Plan... What kind of top-secret Bio-Chips is this?

Eh, why is this document signed by General Bifrost Niz?

I'll go after them, you guys keep up!

Alright!

Uh... Aren't they running a bit too fast...?

Indeed, a normal yacht doesn't have such horsepower...

Let's head in a certain direction first. It seems to be... towards the East Island.
