Early morning.
Everyone gathered in the captain's cabin.
Looking at the pile of documents on the table, Ed, though he didn't know the exact reason, roughly guessed their purpose.
It must be about the mission the church had given the night before.
Sure enough, Andre said, "The church assigned us a mission yesterday. You all saw it, right? This time, our task is to retrieve a Holy Relic."
"A Holy Relic?!"
Everyone except Ed and Jason exclaimed in surprise.
Even Sankaka suddenly stood up, his head hitting the ceiling, almost making a hole in it.
Seeing the intense reaction, Ed and Jason glanced at each other.
Andre didn't pay the outburst much mind, instead explaining to the two puzzled men, "A Holy Relic… you can think of it as a special treasure. Or half a treasure."
In that instant, Ed understood the surprise.
