Episode 4 005 Welcome home!

"Phuaaaah! That was a nice dive!"

Riaa took a deep breath as she surfaced from the long, long underwater mine. Four and Ilisono followed up later.

"Phaaah... I wish I could take my time more looking around. That place was really interesting," Said Ilisono.

"Heeh, earlier you looked like you're gonna drown at any minute! You sure you want to stay longer there?" Riaa teased Ilisono.

"Said the person who urged Kave to hurry to the surface."

"W-wha?! When did I...?"

As Riaa and Ilisono made a ruckus, Four looked around. They arrived at the stony part of a beach. Kave explained that they're already arrived at their destination. The 'shortcut' the team took was Kave's little secret when she wanted to train her breatholding. Jokingly, Kave said she was still really young and daring back there.

"But Kave, that stream earlier..."

"Ah, that. That was the 'Vessel'. In the mine, Vessels are spread around the area. Diving deeper, you might find another Vessels, it could lead you deeper into the mine or the reverse. Without using the vessel near my shortcut, there's no way we could reach the beach! It's far too long to dive."

"The vessel, huh...?" Four pondered.

"Kaaaave!"

Suddenly, a voice could be heard for afar. Two swimsuit-clad girls were heading towards Four and the others. One was a blonde girl, and the other was a brunette. The blonde one was looking really excited as she ran closer.

"Ah, Listya! Elen! Long time no see!" Kave greeted them.

While the brunette just nodded, the blonde girl gave the team a really wide smile, welcoming them. Then, the blonde girl named Listya outstretched her hand to help the team climb to the beach.

"Welcome home, Kave!"
