**[00:09] ---**
Eugen!
**[00:27] ---**
Where the heck did you go, Eugen?
**[00:51] ---**
I want to become a helmsman, see.
**[00:53] ---**
But that's not all.
**[00:59] ---**
I will make my dream come true. Promise!
**[01:23] ---**
Rackam.
**[01:25] ---**
Rackam!
**[01:27] ---**
Huh? Something wrong, Gran?
**[01:30] ---**
You're not acting like your usual self.
**[01:32] ---**
So I, uh, thought that something happened, maybe.
**[01:36] ---**
Oh, nah. I've just been having
these bad dreams.
**[01:40] ---**
That's all.
**[01:46] ---**
We're getting close.
**[01:52] ---**
That's Golonzo.
**[03:50] ---**
What's the deal with that huge crane?
**[03:53] ---**
This place is packed with airships!
**[03:56] ---**
Are they all here on the island
to undergo repairs?
**[04:00] ---**
Yeah, but the engineers here
don't stop at maintenance and repairs.
**[04:04] ---**
They can build you a whole ship to boot.
**[04:07] ---**
Oh, yeah?
**[04:09] ---**
Indeed, this island plays host
to the best shipyards in the sky.
**[04:14] ---**
Hey, Eugen!
**[04:16] ---**
Hey. 'Fraid I've got a job for ya.
**[04:22] ---**
Are you... Rackam?
**[04:25] ---**
H-Hey.
**[04:27] ---**
Well, blow me down!
**[04:29] ---**
Look what a fine man you've grown up to be!
**[04:31] ---**
That little kid who used
to tag along behind Eugen...
**[04:34] ---**
Hey, hey! Talk about ancient history!
**[04:37] ---**
Oh? So even Rackam was
a sweet little boy once!
**[04:42] ---**
"I'm gonna fix the Grandcypher!
I wanna go to Golonzo no matter what! Take me there!"
**[04:47] ---**
He was in tears, begging me.
**[04:49] ---**
Yeah, he was always sniveling.
Getting lost all the time and stuff.
**[04:53] ---**
Oh?
**[04:54] ---**
Good grief, I can't wait
to get off this stinking island.
**[05:02] ---**
Looks like you had to go through hell to get here.
**[05:04] ---**
I'm amazed that you were able to fly this far at all.
**[05:08] ---**
It was a helmsman's skill
that got it here in one piece.
**[05:11] ---**
Rackam, you did good!
**[05:14] ---**
Never mind that, how much will this cost?
**[05:18] ---**
Oh, right, let's see...
**[05:20] ---**
A couple of days for repairs,
and the cost should be, roughly...
**[05:24] ---**
Something like this.
**[05:28] ---**
Um, one, ten, hundred, thousand...
**[05:33] ---**
Th-This much?
**[05:35] ---**
Hey, hey, it's not like I'm gouging you!
**[05:38] ---**
I know that. Well, I'd say that's reasonable.
**[05:42] ---**
But...
**[05:43] ---**
Look here, he says he's going
to help out with the repairs.
**[05:47] ---**
So you think you could knock a little off,
for old time's sake? Please?
**[05:54] ---**
If it were anyone else, Eugen...
**[05:57] ---**
All right!
**[05:59] ---**
To commemorate Rackam's triumphant return...
**[06:01] ---**
How's this?
**[06:03] ---**
We owe you big time!
**[06:05] ---**
We're grateful.
Still, that's a hefty expense.
**[06:11] ---**
If that's the case...
**[06:16] ---**
I have a lucrative job you might like!
**[06:18] ---**
Sierokarte!
**[06:20] ---**
Long time no see, everybody.
**[06:23] ---**
I'm glad that you're all looking well!
**[06:25] ---**
You look as well as ever yourself, Sierokarte.
**[06:28] ---**
Popping up out of nowhere, as usual!
**[06:31] ---**
So what kind of job is it?
**[06:33] ---**
Right!
**[06:35] ---**
Fortunately, I'm swamped with requests,
and I'm just so short-staffed!
**[06:39] ---**
If you could take on this job, it would help a lot.
**[06:44] ---**
What do you think?
**[06:45] ---**
- Please let us do it!
- We'll do it!
**[06:46] ---**
I guess this is what
"getting what you wish for" means.
**[06:49] ---**
All right, I'm gonna stay behind
and get started on the repairs.
**[06:53] ---**
You guys go out and
make us some serious money, okay?
**[06:56] ---**
All right! Let's give it our all for the Grandcypher!
**[07:01] ---**
Right!
**[07:03] ---**
All that's left is the contract, right?
**[07:05] ---**
Huh? Oh, that.
**[07:07] ---**
No need for anything like that!
**[07:10] ---**
Don't worry, I'll get it done, all right?
**[07:14] ---**
Are you sure about this?
**[07:17] ---**
Sure. Here in Golonzo...
**[07:19] ---**
This is how things are done.
**[07:22] ---**
There's a legend about a god who's been
enforcing promises on this island since ancient times.
**[07:29] ---**
Even in the case of verbal promises,
no one has ever reneged, not once.
**[07:37] ---**
Yeah, but...
**[07:38] ---**
That's just a legend, right?
**[07:41] ---**
It might be a primal beast.
**[07:45] ---**
Ever since we got to this island,
I've been sensing a primal beast's power.
**[07:51] ---**
A primal beast on Golonzo, too?
**[07:53] ---**
Yes.
**[07:55] ---**
Enforcing promises...
**[07:57] ---**
Perhaps a primal beast that governs contracts?
**[08:01] ---**
Then we can't make any casual
or offbeat promises on this island, huh?
**[08:05] ---**
Right. If we make any outrageous promises
without thinking, it could mean trouble.
**[08:11] ---**
Right.
**[08:13] ---**
It'll cost you, but I've got some
cutting-edge materials, quality stuff.
**[08:17] ---**
Wanna try 'em out?
**[08:19] ---**
No, the same stuff will do.
**[08:22] ---**
Could effect our balance if the weight changes.
Now I just need...
**[08:26] ---**
You've joined a top of the line...
No, an elite crew, haven't you, Rackam?
**[08:33] ---**
Life must be smooth sailing for you, huh?
**[08:35] ---**
Huh?
**[08:36] ---**
A man with your skills,
I bet you could find a job anywhere.
**[08:41] ---**
So what are your plans?
**[08:43] ---**
You could show off your mastery in
a skyfaring crew renowned throughout the skies!
**[08:47] ---**
Or you could become a freewheeling traveler,
just you and your ship!
**[08:51] ---**
Any man would kill to live that life
just once, am I right?
**[08:56] ---**
No, I don't really...
**[08:58] ---**
Whoa, my bad, my bad.
**[09:00] ---**
Guess that was uncalled for, huh?
**[09:02] ---**
After all, a guy like you
must've decided your future long ago, eh?
**[09:09] ---**
Well...
**[09:19] ---**
Rackam?
**[09:21] ---**
Hey. Are you guys done now?
**[09:25] ---**
Yeah, for today.
**[09:31] ---**
Hey, Gran...
**[09:34] ---**
Listen, where are we headed?
**[09:36] ---**
Huh?
**[09:37] ---**
Uh, rather, after we're done with the repairs.
**[09:41] ---**
You still planning to head for
the Island of the Astrals?
**[09:44] ---**
The Island of the Astrals
is where my dad's waiting.
**[09:48] ---**
I have to go there.
That's the point of this journey.
**[09:52] ---**
But that's not the only reason anymore.
**[09:55] ---**
I also promised Lyria that
I'd take her there, no matter what.
**[10:02] ---**
What about you?
**[10:04] ---**
If there's anything that you want to do,
I'd be glad to help out.
**[10:13] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[10:15] ---**
A kid your age needs to think
about his future first!
**[10:19] ---**
You've got a hell of a dream, right?
**[10:21] ---**
Then keep your eye on it,
and keep chasing after it.
**[10:29] ---**
All right, I'm getting back to work now.
**[10:33] ---**
There you go. I got it back for you.
**[10:39] ---**
You did, indeed!
**[10:41] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[10:43] ---**
You took care of it with exceptional speed!
**[10:47] ---**
Just what I'd expect from a skyfarer
of your experience!
**[10:53] ---**
By the way, about that thing
I asked you to look into in Auguste...
**[10:59] ---**
Right, about that...
**[11:22] ---**
So as you can see, after Golonzo,
the trail has gone cold.
**[11:27] ---**
Please forgive me!
**[11:30] ---**
No, that's more than I hoped for.
**[11:33] ---**
Just finding out that they've been to this island...
**[11:42] ---**
Man, I'm hungry!
**[11:48] ---**
Food tastes even better
after a hard day's work, doesn't it?
**[11:52] ---**
Eugen hasn't come back yet?
**[11:54] ---**
Could it be that he's
not done with Siero's request?
**[11:57] ---**
He did say it was just an errand...
**[11:59] ---**
Here you go. This is on the house!
**[12:04] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[12:05] ---**
We're grateful for your kindness.
**[12:08] ---**
Hey, don't mention it.
**[12:10] ---**
That little squirt, who couldn't drink anything
but milk, came back a grown man.
**[12:14] ---**
So sure, I'm thrilled beyond words!
**[12:17] ---**
Hey, come on, enough of that!
**[12:21] ---**
Just look at you.
I'm so envious of you young guys.
**[12:26] ---**
The sky's the limit.
**[12:27] ---**
All you gotta do is
soar closer to your dream, huh?
**[12:54] ---**
This whole area here,
every part needs to be changed.
**[12:57] ---**
Doesn't matter how much wear-and-tear,
just switch each one out with new ones.
**[13:03] ---**
How'd the overhaul of
the auxiliary engine go?
**[13:05] ---**
You're good to go.
It's like brand-spanking new!
**[13:09] ---**
Then I guess we should load that one up first.
**[13:12] ---**
If all goes well, we could be done by today, huh?
**[13:15] ---**
Mr. Rackam! Is it alright
to remove this scaffolding now?
**[13:20] ---**
Sure!
**[13:21] ---**
Rackam, go grab something to eat while you can.
**[13:24] ---**
When you're back, I want you to
do a final check of the power unit.
**[13:27] ---**
Right.
**[14:42] ---**
What is it that I want to do after this?
**[14:45] ---**
Why am I still on this journey?
**[14:58] ---**
A treat, did you say?
**[15:01] ---**
Yeah. I'm a little worried about Rackam.
**[15:06] ---**
He's been kind of absent-minded lately,
and seems glum.
**[15:11] ---**
I thought if we could cheer him up even a little...
**[15:15] ---**
I get it! Everyone feels happy
when they eat something delicious!
**[15:19] ---**
I guess so, but...
**[15:21] ---**
Come to think of it, we don't know
a whole lot about Rackam's past, do we?
**[15:28] ---**
We did hear about how he's always wanted
to fly the Grandcypher.
**[15:33] ---**
Mr. Rackam?
**[15:35] ---**
Please do the final check!
**[15:37] ---**
Sure, I'll be right there.
**[15:52] ---**
Oh, this brings back memories...
**[15:55] ---**
I'm so glad that I got to see you again.
**[16:02] ---**
Grandcypher.
**[16:05] ---**
Siero!
**[16:08] ---**
Well, well! If it isn't Lyria and Gran!
**[16:11] ---**
Where are you going, Siero?
**[16:13] ---**
I have some business to attend to
in my office on the docks!
**[16:17] ---**
We're on our way to the docks, too.
**[16:19] ---**
We finished that job sooner than expected,
so we thought we'd help out with the repairs.
**[16:24] ---**
I guess the work is going smoothly,
so they might not even need us anymore.
**[16:28] ---**
So the overhaul was "haulready" over, eh?
**[16:48] ---**
Rackam!
**[16:50] ---**
Oh, the smell of new parts and oil...
**[16:54] ---**
I see that you've repaired the Grandcypher.
**[16:58] ---**
You've made her look so beautiful...
**[17:00] ---**
Taking such pains,
right down to every nook and cranny.
**[17:04] ---**
The furnace is in great condition, too.
It's moving so lightly.
**[17:08] ---**
I can sense just how eager she is
to take to the skies.
**[17:14] ---**
You modified this part, didn't you?
**[17:18] ---**
It's a bit inelegant, but I think it will do.
**[17:21] ---**
Inelegant?
**[17:23] ---**
Yes. Though she seems to like it... the Grandcypher.
**[17:28] ---**
Look how you've grown, Rackam.
**[17:33] ---**
Thank you...
**[17:35] ---**
For letting me see the Grandcypher again.
**[17:39] ---**
H-Hey, hold up a second. Who are you?
**[17:44] ---**
I should have figured. You, too, I see.
**[17:48] ---**
Me, too?
**[17:49] ---**
Hey, I'm not following you. Just what...
**[17:53] ---**
I'm sorry, I don't have time
to give you all the details now.
**[17:57] ---**
This ship, the Grandcypher, is in imminent danger.
**[18:01] ---**
What? Hey, what do you mean by—
**[18:03] ---**
We're back!
**[18:05] ---**
We're here to help you
with the Grandcypher's repairs!
**[18:19] ---**
Don't move!
**[18:21] ---**
I do say!
**[18:28] ---**
It's him!
**[18:30] ---**
You again?
**[18:32] ---**
I've had all that I can take
of this fruitless game of tag with you people!
**[18:38] ---**
However, today will mark the end
of said revelry, I do say!
**[18:43] ---**
Dark Essence!
**[18:46] ---**
Like I'd fall for the same trick...
**[18:53] ---**
Hey! What's wrong?
**[18:55] ---**
Stay away... Rackam...
**[19:06] ---**
Rackam!
**[19:21] ---**
Stop... it...
**[19:23] ---**
Stop it!
**[19:25] ---**
Now then! Reduce this annoying ship
to a pile of rubbish, on the double!
**[19:30] ---**
As the shipwright primal beast,
you must put your powers on full display!
**[19:37] ---**
Primal beast?
**[19:50] ---**
The Grandcypher!
**[19:54] ---**
It's exactly... the same...
**[20:12] ---**
*I'll make the Grandcypher fly myself,
no matter what!*
**[20:18] ---**
*And then I'll let you ride, too!*
**[20:21] ---**
*Noa!*
**[20:32] ---**
You... You're Noa?
**[20:52] ---**
Lyria!
**[20:54] ---**
His... voice is...
**[20:56] ---**
Hang in there!
**[21:05] ---**
Gran!
**[21:11] ---**
Dear me, you people truly are a handful!
**[21:16] ---**
But now we've successfully retrieved
the top secret girl, I do say!
**[21:22] ---**
Withdraw! Do you hear me?
**[21:24] ---**
I order you to pull out!
**[21:33] ---**
Noa!
**[21:39] ---**
Stop—
**[21:40] ---**
Out of the way!
**[21:41] ---**
I have no use for those people.
Just discard them!
