*Tino runs to them while they nearly left the city.*
Tino: Wait!
*They look behind them to see her.*
Snow looks confused.
Snow: Aren't you the person who gave Jill a weird look?
Tino: *out of breath* Yeah, huff...
Snow: What do you want then?
Tino: You huff... can't breathe underwater when you are not in the city anymore, huff...
Snow: Right, I totally forgot about that.
Tino:... Huff... Here.
*She gives everyone a little bottle of a potion.*
Tino: Drink this, and you will be able to breathe for half an hour.
Snow: I don't think half an hour is enough time.
Tino: I don't have much more, so you guys need to hurry.
Kayo: I don't know if we can trust her. You said that she gave Jill a weird look. Maybe she wants to poison us.
Yasu: I don't think so.
Kayo: Huh?
Yasu: She saved me from getting arrested.
Tino: He's right... Also, I gave Jill that look because there are rumors about the TCC that they only do bad stuff. But I saw how they are just normal people when you guys were helping her.
*She points at Sophia's body.*
Mino: It looked more like murder to us, but when you know why they did it, it makes sense.
Tino: I could hear you guys talking.
Snow:... How close were you? Also, why did you follow us?!
Tino: I- wanted to tell Silvia where the hideout is... But I won't since I found out the truth.
Snow: We hope so... But we need to go now.
Tino: Alright. See you again, maybe.
*They continue walking and wave to Tino.*
*They arrive at a sign that says "Percy's Peak."*
Snow: Alright, I guess we are at the end.
*Snow gives everyone a potion, and Mino makes you drink it too.*
Snow: At 3. 1, 2, 3!
*Everyone drinks it at the same time.*
Snow: Alright, now let's hurry.
*They walk as fast as they can.*
*After 15 minutes of walking, they find a huge monster lying on the ground.*
Spezi: Eww, what is that?
Snow: Doesn't matter right now. Let's just continue before we run out of breath.
Kayo: Liz told me something about a monster escaping from Percy's Peak, but why is it dead here now? Oh, and also she told me that this thing drags us underwater.
Snow: Makes sense since it has such thin, long arms. But that also means that we are close to the beach!
*At the god hideout.*
*Yunari teleports back to the hideout after defeating that monster.*
Yuli: Jeez, don't scare me like that.
Yunari: Sorry, how is it going? Were you finally able to copy Yunichi's power?
Yuli: No, but maybe soon.
Yunari: I hope so.
Yuli: Ugh, we all hope it, big brain.
Yunari: Hmm, sorry.
Yuli: Also, did you meet him?
Yunari: Who?
Yuli: You know, Snow, hero of Oakheart.
Yunari: Oh, him. Hmm, nah, I saw him coming toward the monster, but I came back here at that time.
*Yuvaan in his cage*: Hah, Yunichi told me much about him.
Yunari: Tsk-
