Capture Captain Kidd's Treasure

Master, Mash, we're here. Time to get off.

Okay Doctor, please check the communications system.

It looks fine. I can't believe we're looking for Captain Kidd's treasure! How exciting!

Do you feel in your element, Dr. Roman?

Well, my name is Romani Archaman. "Roman" for short.

Adventures like looking for pirate treasures are part of what makes humans "romantic."

Just before Kidd was caught, he told a fellow pirate the whereabouts of his treasure.

But he was a pirate, you know? Stories you hear from a drunk aren't all that trustworthy.

So nobody ever found where Captain Kidd's treasure lay.

How do you know where it is, Mary?

Oh, I found out later the treasure I previously gave up on belonged to Captain Kidd.

You gave up on it?

By chance, I ended up on this island a little before I became a pirate.

Since I was here, I decided to look around and I found the treasure.

...Yeah, I think it was treasure. I only saw it from a distance.

At a distance? You didn't get close?

...There was a reason I couldn't, you see. OkayLet's go!

Hehehe, I'm looking forward to this.

Um, first we have to get through this forest, I think...

Oh my, oh my. There's something here.

Gweh... Money... Ladies... Treasure...

Gweh... Meat... Ale... Treasure...

I guess even pirate zombies are still pirates, huh...

Some things never change. Now let's send them on their way to heaven.

Amen!

There we go. Hmm... Hey, Master.

I feel a little bad for them... Is it okay if I bury them?

？！

Thank you, Master.

You're very kind. Come on, Mary. I'll help.

I'll help too.

Okay.

If I may...

May the saints of heaven preserve them, may the dominions welcome them, may their souls be taken up to heaven

Take pity upon us, and save our souls. ...Amen.

Thank you. Sorry for taking so long. Most pirates end up thrown into the sea.

I thought it might be nice to actually have someone pray on their behalf for once.

Let's keep going!

Past these wilds is a cave at the bottom of the mountain. That's where the treasure is.

I'm amazed no one found it if it's that easy. Those pirates came so close.

Hmm, well it's probably

Because of things like that wandering around.

Hehe, Mary. You need to tell us stuff like that ahead of time.

Yeah, sorry.

P-Preparing for combat!

...Whew. We got them. What's a chimera doing on an island like this?

Those zombies back there acted a little strange too...

Um, Master...

？！

Me too, yes. Doctor? Doctor?

...Zzz... ...Treasure...

Doctor Roman is asleep. When we get back, we should punish him.

Okay, we're here!

Good, looks like no one's been here but me.

So no one's touched it? That's great.

Um, so Mary. Why didn't you take the treasure?

Even if there was too much to carry, you could've at least stuffed some jewels in a bag...

Oh, well you see... "He" wouldn't let me.

He? Who?

Um... I think we'll see him any minute now... Oh, there he is.

Curse ye... Curse ye all...

None can have me treasure... It's mine... It's Captain Kidd's treasure...

C-Captain Kidd...! That's a ghost, isn't it?

That's right. He was here, so I gave up.

In life, I had no way to fight a ghost.

Though thinking back, maybe I should've brought a silver sword, or a cross, or some holy water...

No one can have me treasure... It's all mine... Not yours...

None can have!

Hi, I'm a pirate. I've come to take your treasure.

I'm also a pirate. That treasure's just rotting away here.

So, old man, give it to me♪

...I'm very sorry, but that treasure is of no use to you now.

We're going to take it back and use it to help the living, the era, the world.

Curse...ye! NONE CAN HAVE ME TREASURE!

Oooooh... Impossible! M-Me treasure... Me treasure!

I-I-I! Damn it... Oh, damn it all!

That's right! I'm dead! I guess I've got no choice... But I hate it!

Whew... That was a hard fight.

Whew! Finally! Treasure time!

Y-Yeah! This is a little exciting.

Um... The ghost was over here, so... Found it! Look at all these chests!

Opening!

It'd be something if after all this, the punch line is "Try Again" or "Your experience en route was your treasure."

...If that happens we'll bring his ghost back and torture him.

Okay... I'm opening it up.

...Hooray!
