The citizens stare upward and scream, "Sea Kings?!!!" and "They're carrying the Noah!!!" Others panic, "They're gonna eat us all up!!!" The Sea Kings discuss the ship's terrible state: "The ship is in a terrible state... D'you think it can be fixed? Is it still usable?" Another answers, "Who knows..." Their hope rests on craftsmen: "Our only hope is the skills of that clan... but times have changed." One still says, "Can it really be fixed? I sure hope it can... before the promised time comes..." Page 6: At Ryugu Palace, a minister reports urgent news: "Minister of the Left, we have urgent news to report!" The mermaids who were kidnapped have been recovered, though they are still shaken from the ordeal, and they remember the face of their kidnapper. The report continues with a second disaster: "But that's not all. The palace treasure stores have been emptied bare!!! There isn't a single piece of treasure left...!! Even that great royal treasure, the Tamatebako, is gone!!" The palace itself, just reclaimed from chaos, has been robbed while the royal family was away.
