A Catastrophic Bow
During the wake, the crew and Chichiri sense a malevolent presence. Chichiri stops the wake and decides to discuss the odd happening with the other Cardinal Saints. With one more explosive bow, Chichiri expresses her appreciation to the crew, and chooses to join them on their journey.
Chichiri: Concentrate...
Chichiri has carried the burden of completing her duty for so long.
Soon it will be settled.
Lyria: Gasp! What was that?
Choose: I couldn't make it out!
Chichiri: Huh? You guys felt it too?
Vyrn: What in the skies...
Chichiri: I have no idea either, but it was ten times scarier than Zhuque...
Chichiri: I don't think I should finish the wake.
Vyrn: But if you don't, Zhuque's power won't be relieved...
Chichiri: No, look.
Chichiri shows the crew a feather.
Lyria: Is that the feather that was hanging in your training grounds?
Chichiri: Nope. It's a fresh one dropped by Zhuque.
Vyrn: Now that you mention it, this one does look way nicer than the other one.
Chichiri: Probably because this is what it's really supposed to look like. And since Zhuque dropped this kind of feather...
Vyrn: Its power has been dissipated?
Lyria: Really? Then what's the purpose of the wake?
Chichiri: What a mystery!
Vyrn: Not another one... Wish someone would just give us the answer key...
Chichiri: Bad idea! We must not complete the wake! Not after experiencing that toughy-woughy, spooky-wooky aura!
Chichiri: Actually, maybe the improved me could take it on now... And let's not forget (Captain), the original powerhouse!
Vyrn: Look who's back to her old self again.
Chichiri: I don't think I can do anything about the yupei right now anyway. Maybe I should have a chat with the others...
Lyria: Who else would know about this?
Chichiri: The other Cardinal Saints. They're incredible, so they're bound to know more than me.
Chichiri: Hehehe, we meet up for tea parties and picnics on the regular!
Lyria: Haha, sounds like a tight-knit group.
Chichiri: We sure are! Only thing is we agreed not to bring up duty-related stuff.
Chichiri: They haven't been carrying out their duties because they've got their own things going on.
Chichiri: So we never talk about it, especially since they can sense my inferiority complex...
Vyrn: But you want to ask them about the yupei anyway? Is that a good idea?
Chichiri: Nope. I can already picture 'em yelling at me. It's... not pretty.
Chichiri: But this is too important to be worried about getting chewed out! You guys taught me to stand up for myself!
Chichiri: Thanks again for the valuable lesson!
Lyria: Hehehe, you're welcome!
Everyone is all smiles, but the cheery mood is about to take an unexpected turn.
Chichiri: Hup!
Chichiri suddenly drops to all fours and positions herself into a prostrating posture.
Vyrn: Nooo! What did we do to deserve this!
Chichiri: I'll never forget everything you've done for me, and I won't be satisfied until I've made myself useful!
Chichiri: My gratitude knows no bounds! Thank you so much!
Chichiri: I'm doubly committed to working my butt off to make my gurus proud!
Chichiri: Just gimme a holler whenever you need a massage! I'll knead the aches and blues away!
Vyrn: C-can we not? I can't tell if the pain that comes first is worth the payoff...
Chichiri: Let me knead! Let me kneeaad!
Lyria: O-okay! We understand!
Vyrn: That catastrophic bowing of yours is gonna be the death of us all!
Chichiri: Yay! We have a deal! I'm looking forward to the fun adventures ahead!
Thus Chichiri officially—and coercively—joins the crew.
The Cardinal Saints and the cardinal beasts. The golden primal beast Chichiri saw, and the contrastive shadowy existence.
Many mysteries abound, but with Chichiri on the team, surely everything will come to light... eventually.
In the meantime, the crew will try their best to have their newest member keep her head up on what is shaping up to be a massage-filled voyage.
