Gachapin, Mukku, and the Azure Adventure - Chapter 3: Gachapin Keeps Saving the Day - Episode 4

The crew visits the Lumacie Archipelago again to save the kidnapped Orchis from Freesia. With Yggdrasil Malice defeated, Freesia flies into a rage and unleashes Akasha, leaving the crew with no choice but to retreat from the island.

---

Separated from the Black Knight, the girl Orchis is held captive by Prime Minister Freesia.

The crew follows the information they receive and arrives at Lumacie to save Orchis.

However, this only leads them to fall straight into Freesia's trap.

Black Knight: Just what are you plotting, Freesia?

Freesia: I wish for nothing more than a proper world. A world restored to its former order.

Gachapin: Its former... order?

Vyrn: Huh? Hey, what's wrong, Gachapin?

Gachapin: I'm starting to remember something...

Vyrn: Wha, again? Come on, at a time like this?

Gachapin: You're right... Sorry...

Freesia: My deepest desire is the revival of the Erste Kingdom—using Akasha's power to change history.

Black Knight: Akasha! Don't be a fool... Are you saying it actually exists?

Io: Wait, what exactly is an Akasha?

Black Knight: Supposedly it was created by the Astrals near the end of the War to be their ultimate weapon.

Black Knight: It is a primal beast with the power to interfere with history itself, a power to rewrite the world as we know it.

Gachapin: Change history... A power to rewrite the world...

To use the power of the primal beast Akasha to erase the history of the Astrals' invasion and restore the Erste Kingdom.

That is Freesia's ultimate goal.

As it turns out, both Lyria and Orchis are needed in order to activate Akasha.

Freesia: Let's wrap up the chitchat here. I'm going to use Malice.

Soldier: P-please wait! We will handle the ruffians, so, I beg you... Please refrain from using Malice!

Freesia: Your efforts will only prove to be futile. I never expected much from any of you.

Soldier: M-ma'am...

Freesia: Now, awaken—Yggdrasil Malice!

Yggdrasil Malice: ...!

Black Knight: What is that?

Freesia: This is the epitome of our research on dark essence! This primal beast is completely under my control!

Io: Is it just me or does that look... really strong?

Soldier: Aaaah!

Rackam: Even their soldiers are freakin' out! Just how bad is this thing?

Gachapin: Hmm... Its former order... A power to rewrite the world...

Vyrn: Gachapin! It's dangerous over there!

Gachapin: Mm... Just a second... I'm trying to remember...

Lyria: Gachapin, hurry! This way!

Gachapin: Hmm... Hmmmm...

Yggdrasil Malice: ...!

Overhead, Yggdrasil Malice unleashes a powerful attack that heads straight for Gachapin.

Gachapin: Cut it out!

Freesia: What!

Gachapin: I feel like something's coming to me, so just wait, okay!

Yggdrasil Malice: ...!

With its attack absently deflected by Gachapin, Yggdrasil Malice recoils.

Eugen: What in the skies!

Io: This just might work out after all!

Gachapin: Huh? Wait, what just happened?

Vyrn: Well, how should I put it... Glad you're still alive, buddy!

Lyria: I'm glad you're okay!

Freesia: Tha... Tha... Thaaa!

The Three: Tha?

Freesia: That's where you're supposed to lose! That's how things usually go, don't they!

Freesia flies into a rage. Using the dark essence, she directs Leviathan and Mithra to attack the crew.

It is then that something unexpected happens.

Lyria: ...!

Orchis: I request, under protocol of Arcus, the activation of the primal beast Akasha.

Lyria: Administrative authentication complete. Request to activate the primal beast Akasha accepted.

Vyrn: Hey, Lyria! What's the matter with you?

Lyria: Transferring full administrative privileges from Byleistr Arcus...
Complete.

Lyria: Activating the primal beast Akasha.

Akasha: ...

Freesia: This is Akasha...

Gachapin: ...!

Io: Wow! Wow! What is this? Why is there water everywhere? Is this the... ocean?

Ferry: We'll probably disappear. But the current situation is against nature. I'll just be returning the island to its natural state.

Freesia: I wish for nothing more than a proper world. A world restored to its former order.

Furry Red Soldier: That's right. We wanna find a middle ground for going forward, yah see.

Rackam: Hey, Gachapin! Get ahold of yourself!

Gachapin: Huh? What? What's going on?

Rackam: We definitely don't want to be messin' with Yggdrasil Malice... And I'll bet that Akasha's no joke either!

Vyrn: Lyria's back to normal! Let's take this chance and get outta here!

Gachapin: Y-yeah!

Rosetta: I'm sorry. I can't go with everyone...

Rosetta: Yggdrasil has been overloaded with power from dark essence... Someone ought to be at her side...

Rosetta: You all have the power to save her. Vyrn, that includes you.

Vyrn: Huh! What am I s'posed to do?

The crew has no choice but to board the Grandcypher and watch as Rosetta's figure grows smaller and smaller.

The Grandcypher soars above the Lumacie Archipelago, barely escaping by the skin of its teeth.
