"Captain...?" Bandages had somehow appeared behind Charles, looking at his grave expression.
Charles took Lily out of his pocket and placed her in the palm of his hand. "Wake everyone up. We have a situation."
While the crew was getting up, Charles suppressed his unease and carefully read the page that had appeared out of nowhere in his diary.
「June 9, 808」
"Aside from this one extra, unusual entry, my diary shows no other anomalies. I'm considering whether I should throw this diary away or burn it.
It holds many of my past memories, but if it causes trouble, the loss will outweigh the gain.

This is risky and will likely stir up trouble quickly. I'm not even sure if Lily has enough rats to spare for this, but we're out of time."
