The Last Scrap (after battle)

According to Vergilius...

The people at the boatworks have been saving up for a trip back to V Corp's Backstreets where their Fixer Office used to be.

After experiencing a WARP train malfunction, they apparently decided they'd rather take the car.

...I considered telling them the truth I learned from a number of Identities, but I figured ignorance is bliss and kept my figurative mouth shut.

...Maybe I feared that the things I said could bring bad results again.

Like how Ishmael has fallen out with me.

C'mon... Get working...

Ohh, we've got 'em now!

Phew... Looks like our job's done.

And... lucky you, the tide is in. You should be able to set off now.

Now, then... Switch to boat mode!

Oooh?! It transforms thusly, then!

I've got to say, I have great admiration for whoever designed this vehicle. I heard stories of it, but to see it in motion firsthand...

If you tried, it could most certainly change into other forms, as long as the core is intact.

How can such a core be real? I'm just... amazed, for lack of a better term.

Indeed, Faust is amazing.

Alright, now... Get in your vehicle. You can switch the mode again once you're in the water.

Aboard the now boat-shaped Mephistopheles, we forged ahead, into the ever-rising waters.

My relationship with Ishmael was still precarious, which was something I still wasn't sure what to do about...

But since some of the Sinners were also trying to be supportive towards Ishmael, I decided that it would be best if I tried to come up with a solution in the meantime.

Maybe I'll find out more the further we get from the shores of the Great Lake.

Mm. It's sailing, all right.

Does that mean we can get paid and go out for a meal now?

We actually got our money a minute ago. As soon as we fulfilled our end of the contract, a delivery Fixer from the Devyat Association came by and paid us the remainder.

Oho~ Our contractor turned out to be a pretty big deal, huh?

Hot damn, now that's a catch! How about we take a break from trash crabs and splurge for some pork? Pork belly barbecue!

Sounds good, Big Sis.

Hahaha! ...By the way, Mika?

Yes?

When did we add a submersible mode to the modifications?

We... didn't?

The ship looks like it's listing...

Oi! Get the water out, quick!

Buckets! Where are the buckets?!

I have found a hole! This must be...

T. D.

We're off, glub glub.

Sigh...

...I'll get the lifeboat.

Guess we should also prepare to pony up penalty fees...

Haha... We're so screwed.

...With our frantic attempts to drain the bus, and Charon's skillful rowing...

We managed to get back to the boatworks and have the bus repaired...

With that, our voyage on the Great Lake began somehow in earnest...
