Beach-Bound Maidens
The head priestess speaks of a prophecy calling for Diantha to join the current maidens for a beach concert. The crew is on guard duty as the maidens change into their outfits and proceed with venue setup.
After sifting through the contents of a letter from Sierokarte, (Captain) and company make their way toward Xochitl Island.
It is home to five maidens and their adherents known as ichnia.
Having handled an incident there previously, the crew is getting ready for a return visit after learning of further trouble on the island.
Rackam: Whew... Here we are, guys—Xochitl Island at last.
Lyria: Teehee, it's been so long since we last saw these sights! I can't wait to see the maidens again!
Rackam: I'll be doing maintenance on the Grandcypher with Eugen. You guys go on ahead.
The crew wax nostalgic as they saunter along the city streets of Xochitl Island.
Diantha (Promo) is a crew member
Diantha: It's been so long since I last saw these dorms...
Diantha looks up pensively at the dorms she used to inhabit. Just then a girl with a petite figure opens the door to the entrance.
Linaria: Ah... Diantha... Welcome back...
Diantha: Haha, Linaria. It's great to see you again.
Linaria: Ehehe... Everything good with you? You seem different somehow.
Diantha: More skyfarish, you mean? Daily adventures do a lot to toughen me up.
Linaria: Teehee. We know all about that thanks to your letters.
Harie: Diantha, great to have you back.
Canna: Ooh! Missed ya, Diantha! Hope the skyfarer life's been treating you well!
Diola: Bwuhhh... The snack of the day... is waffles... I hope.
The remaining maidens have appeared in turn, lured by Diantha and Linaria's conversation.
Diantha (Promo) not in crew
On arriving at the entrance to a dorm, (Captain) raps the door knocker, after which two girls respond.
Diantha: Long time no see, (Captain).
Linaria: Teehee. Guess what, (Captain)? Diantha's been restless ever since we heard you'd be coming!
Diantha: C'mon, Linaria... I'd rather not give them the wrong idea here...
Linaria: Hehe. It was so obvious when you didn't give it your all at practice.
Diantha: That's only because I was still surprised by the prophecy!
Harie: Ahaha... Let's calm down, you two.
Canna: I've been looking forward to seeing you guys again too. Can't wait to hear about your adventures on other islands!
Diola: Bwuh... I could really go for something soft and chewy right now...
Lyria: Hey, good to see you all again, everyone!
A joyous reunion ensues as the maidens gather around the crew.
Harie: Hehe, we were so worried when you first said you'd be leaving the island, but one look at (Captain)'s face shows that any fears we had were unfounded.
Canna: No surprise there! I bet (Captain)'s crew just plows through all the dangerous missions!
Diola: Bwuhhh... An island of fish...
Vyrn: Speaking of missions, our job this time is to escort you girls to Auguste. What's the deal with that?
Head Priestess: Allow me to explain.
Head Priestess: It all started a few days ago. Prophecy revealed that our next performance is to take place at a beach.
Lyria: And Auguste would be the ideal place for that, huh... Has the next maiden been chosen yet?
Head Priestess: No. Although Diantha is no longer a maiden, a special exception is being made for her to participate this time.
Lyria: Huh? But I thought the rules were held above all else...
Head Priestess: Well, this exception comes directly from Xolotl himself...
Diola: I'm sure there's a reason for it though. Stranger things have happened.
Harie: This'll be our first time performing outside the island, and that's why we thought we'd ask for protection.
Vyrn: With us rockin' the job, you girls'll be safe. But since this is going to be a first for you all, we'd best be prepared.
Canna: Hehe, it'll be fine! Set up, rehearse, perform, and bam—we're done!
Diantha Fan: Don't forget we're coming along too. We'll make sure all the setting up goes smooth as butter.
Entire droves of ichnia with their bags packed and ready to go on a flight appear before the crew.
Vyrn: What the... That's a few dozen ichnia right there... Are they all coming aboard? We'll already have our hands full protecting the maidens...
Linaria Fan: A beach performance and we get to see Diantha on stage again. We wouldn't miss it for the world!
Canna Fan: Hahaha! A bit of danger makes it all that much more thrilling! Don't worry too much about us.
Vyrn: We'll have one super-crowded Grandcypher with all these islanders aboard...
Harie: Ahaha... I know it'll be tough transporting us all, but I sure hope it works out.
After getting everyone on board, the crew departs Xochitl Island.
Diantha: Phew... We somehow all managed to fit... Good work, everyone.
Linaria: Wow... The sky's just crazy huge!
Harie: So this is what (Captain) sees out here all the time.
Head Priestess: I'll be discussing flight arrangements with Rackam and everyone else in the cockpit.
Canna: Ah! You mean Rackam, the helmsman! I wanna come with!
Diola: Me too...
(Captain) sees them off. The captain thinks for a moment and then decides to...
The maidens are all enjoying themselves despite the potential threat of an aerial monster attack. (Captain) remains on deck to keep watch.
Diantha (Promo) is a crew member
Diantha: Ah, (Captain). What's up?
Choose: Watch out for monsters.
Diantha: Right. Flying monsters don't show up much in this area, but I suppose we should keep a lookout for wyverns.
Diantha: Especially since we have to make sure the ichnia can also make it to Auguste safe and sound.
Diantha: It sure does feel strange riding together with everyone though.
Diantha: Almost as if everyone's staying in my house. Heheh.
Diantha (Promo) not in crew
Diantha: Ah, (Captain). What's up?
Diantha: Hm? You want to know if I'm nervous about performing outside the island?
Diantha: I've been practicing all along for this, so I'm sure it'll be fine.
Diantha: Especially with you to watch over me, (Captain).
Diantha: The head priestess has even prepared special outfits for the occasion. I hope you'll like the design.
While standing vigilant, (Captain) passes the time shooting the breeze.
Rackam's Voice: We're almost there. Get ready to unload your gear, everyone!
Upon landing, the crew and Xochitl islanders unload the cargo and immediately get to setting up the venue.
Head Priestess: Should we proceed with preparations by ourselves while the maidens are changing?
Head Priestess: Yes. I placed a special order for new outfits befitting a performance on the beach. They should be done changing soon enough.
Maidens: Ta-da!
Diantha: Hehe... What do you think, (Captain)? Matches the scenery quite well, wouldn't you say?
Diantha: Teehee, thanks...
Diantha: Truth is ever since joining up with you... Well, if you look closely at my arms... and my legs...
Diantha: You might notice I've slimmed down a bit...
Diantha: Eep! Stop staring!
Choose: You're not too embarrassed?
Diantha: Erm... Well... This outfit is definitely so much more revealing...
Diantha: But I also thought showing this to you would be the most embarrassing part...
Diantha: Why, you ask?
Oh, never mind I ever said that!
Oh, never mind I ever said that!

Their gorgeous swimsuits appear to even brighten up the surrounding scenery.
Linaria: Ehehe... Everything okay, (Captain)?
Choose: Journeying in the skies has its risks.
Linaria: Heheh. Are you saying you'll protect me? You're the best, (Captain)!
Linaria childishly fawns over (Captain) before suddenly putting on a more perplexed look.
Linaria: The people of Auguste don't know anything about us yet, do they?
Linaria: I can't wait to see whether this new crowd'll favor me or Diantha more.
Linaria: But more than anything else, I'm just glad for the chance to dance beside Diantha again. Teehee.
Linaria: Between me and Diantha, who do you think is going to come out on top, (Captain)? Ehehe.
While standing vigilant, (Captain) passes the time shooting the breeze.
Rackam's Voice: We're almost there. Get ready to unload your gear, everyone!
Upon landing, the crew and Xochitl islanders unload the cargo and immediately get to setting up the venue.
Head Priestess: Should we proceed with preparations by ourselves while the maidens are changing?
Head Priestess: Yes. I placed a special order for new outfits befitting a performance on the beach. They should be done changing soon enough.
Maidens: Ta-da!
Linaria: Hey, hey, (Captain)! Don't you think my swimsuit is just the most adorable thing ever?
Linaria: Teehee. I know, right? But do you think you can put a little more oomph into it? On your mark, get set—
Choose: You're the cutest thing ever!
Linaria: Gyaah! Yes! Say it again! Haha, love you, (Captain)!
Linaria: Just all right?
Linaria: Can you, like, gimme some more details on that?
Linaria: You should know this is my first time putting on a swimsuit! It's got all the frills, it's pink, and even my belly button is showing! I'm doing my best, and that's all you've got to say?
Linaria: Would it bother you that much to pay me a compliment or two?
Linaria: Urgh—
Diantha covers Linaria's mouth before she is able to spew some very colorful interjections.
Diantha: Calm down already, Linaria.
Linaria: Mmph! Rgh!
Diantha: You even put on makeup to match the outfit? Great job! You look incredible, Linaria!
Linaria: Mm...

Harie: ...
(Captain) calls out to Harie, who stands on the bow of the ship with a distant gaze.
Harie: Hm? You want to know what I'm looking at, (Captain)?
Harie: I was wondering what kind of place Auguste might be. I mean, this is my first time outside of Xochitl Island after all.
Harie: Haha, I'm so excited just thinking about it.
Choose: Be careful of any monsters.
Harie: Thank you for the heads up.
Harie: Of course, I'm sure you'll be there to protect me if anything happens.
Harie: If it comes to that, you can bet I'll be ready and willing to follow any orders.
Harie: To be honest, I'm kind of looking forward to having you safeguard me from any harm, (Captain)... Maybe that's going too far. Hehe.
While standing vigilant, (Captain) passes the time shooting the breeze.
Rackam's Voice: We're almost there. Get ready to unload your gear, everyone!
Upon landing, the crew and Xochitl islanders unload the cargo and immediately get to setting up the venue.
Head Priestess: Should we proceed with preparations by ourselves while the maidens are changing?
Head Priestess: Yes. I placed a special order for new outfits befitting a performance on the beach. They should be done changing soon enough.
Maidens: Ta-da!
Harie: What do you think of my swimsuit, (Captain)?
Harie: My main color's red, but I wonder if it might be too flashy...
Choose: It looks great on you.
Harie: Really? Hehe... Thanks for the compliment.
Harie: Praise from you makes me feel like I can really do this now.
Harie: This swimsuit will be like my good luck charm for really wowing the crowd with our performance later.
Choose: It's really eye-catching!
Harie: D-does that mean it's too flashy? Oh no... Do you think I should tone it down a bit?
Harie: Huh? You mean that in a good way—as in this is bringing out the best in me? Really?
Harie: Hm... Okay. Since I've already changed and all, I think I'll just go ahead with this. Hehe.

Their gorgeous swimsuits appear to even brighten up the surrounding scenery.
Choose: Follow them to the cockpit.
As the skies they traverse for now appear to be relatively monster-free, (Captain) and company ease up a bit.
(Captain) heads toward the cockpit to check up on things.
Diola: ...
Canna: Rackam! What is it you do to keep this airship moving?
Rackam: Hm? All I do is steer the wheel and adjust the engine power accordingly.
Canna: I see... Can I give it a shot?
Rackam: Haha! I admire your guts, girl. But now's probably not the best time for that.
Head Priestess: Canna, if you would please refrain from being too clingy with Rackam.
Canna: But I mean, the steering wheel's right there! How could I not want to touch it?
Rackam: Believe me—I'd love to give you a hands-on demo of this thing, but stability of the ship is hard to keep up with so many passengers and cargo aboard right now.
Canna: That's too bad...
Diola: ...
Rackam: Maybe after the load on the ship lightens up a bit, we can... Hm? Everything okay, (Captain)?
Choose: I came to talk to Canna.
(Captain) asks the ever-curious Canna if she likes airships.
Canna: Of course! This is my first time on an airship after all! I'd be totally missing out if I didn't get my hands on the wheel.
Canna: You know, when I was a kid, I was always told to cut it out every time I wanted to try something new.
Canna: Maybe it's because I used to be such a scaredy-cat that I turned out like this—curious about every little thing.
Canna: Performing in front of others as a maiden was extremely trying, but I got really good at it with practice.
Canna: And I'm sure piloting a ship's just the same! I just need to give it a shot! Hehe, nothing trumps positivity and free will!
Canna: Surely you agree, (Captain). I mean, here you are on your own adventure with this massive crew just because you wanted to check out the Island of the Astrals!
While standing vigilant, (Captain) passes the time shooting the breeze.
Rackam: We're almost there. Get ready to unload your gear, everyone!
Upon landing, the crew and Xochitl islanders unload the cargo and immediately get to setting up the venue.
Head Priestess: Should we proceed with preparations by ourselves while the maidens are changing?
Head Priestess: Yes. I placed a special order for new outfits befitting a performance on the beach. They should be done changing soon enough.
Maidens: Ta-da!
Canna: How about it, (Captain)! I spoke long and hard with the head priestess about this, and this is the swimsuit I decided on!
Canna: Yay! Thanks a bunch, (Captain)! You just made my day!
Canna: I'm sure it'll be a hit with everyone in Auguste!
Canna: With our outfits all good to go, now we just have to make sure we deliver on stage!
Canna: Hehe, you bet it is! It's not every day that I get to wear a swimsuit, so I figured I might as well go all out!
Canna: This visor's my favorite part of it! Hehe, what do you think, (Captain)?
Canna: Can't forget about my boy shorts either! I made sure to get them fashioned in leather to better match my image!

Choose: I came to talk to Diola.
(Captain) asks Diola if everything is okay, as she appears unwell.
Diola: Mm...
Diola: Seeing the bottomless sky is more frightening than I thought it'd be...
Diola remains still, huddled in the corner.
(Captain) hands her a drink in hopes of cheering her up.
Diola: Thanks...
Yet she maintains her huddled-up posture.
Diola: Mm... Ahh...
Drenching her throat with the drink, some color returns to her pale face.
Diola: I owe you one.
While standing vigilant, (Captain) passes the time shooting the breeze.
Rackam's Voice: We're almost there. Get ready to unload your gear, everyone!
Upon landing, the crew and Xochitl islanders unload the cargo and immediately get to setting up the venue.

Head Priestess: Yes. I placed a special order for new outfits befitting a performance on the beach. They should be done changing soon enough.
Maidens: Ta-da!
Diola: Bwuh... Can we have some of this fish?
Choose: Your swimsuit seems... different.
Diola: I've got my reasons...
Choose: You still look cute though.
Diola: Phew, that's good to know.
Diola: A compliment from you makes all the effort I put in worth it.
Choose: Are you hiding something?
Diola: Yep.
Diola: My tummy...

Choose: I came to talk to the head priestess.
Head Priestess: Is something the matter, (Captain)?
Head Priestess: You wish to speak to me? Wouldn't your time be better spent talking to the maidens?
(Captain)'s head shakes sideways.
Head Priestess: Hehe, you're a strange one. Perhaps that is what draws so many individuals to your crew.
Head Priestess: That's just me speaking from my experience as head priestess. The girls chosen to be maidens tend to have very distinct personalities.
Head Priestess: And those with truly unique dispositions usually garner the most enthusiastic support.
While making sure all is well on deck, (Captain) passes the time shooting the breeze.
Rackam: Oh... Sorry to cut short our chitchat, but Auguste is just ahead.
Upon landing, the crew and Xochitl islanders unload the cargo and immediately get to setting up the venue.
Head Priestess: Should we proceed with preparations by ourselves while the maidens are changing?
Head Priestess: Yes. I placed a special order for new outfits befitting a performance on the beach. They should be done changing soon enough.
Maidens: Ta-da!
Head Priestess: Haha, what do you think of their swimsuits, (Captain)?
Head Priestess: Glad to hear it. I'm sure the maidens are just as pleased.
Head Priestess: We requested your protection specifically because we know full well you're up to the task.
Head Priestess: And also because we wanted to show you our appreciation for helping us back on Xochitl Island.
Choose: No swimsuit for yourself?
Head Priestess: Huh? Well... I won't be going onstage, so...
Choose: Try wearing one anyway!
Head Priestess: I don't know about that... There are preparations, you know... Erm, never mind...
Head Priestess: Cough... Hey, enough teasing already.

This fun reprieve as they share their impressions on each other's dazzling outfit is soon cut short.
Diantha: Yikes! Wh-wh-what's with that monster!
Diola: Nuh-uh, take a closer look.
Xolotl: ...
Linaria: Xolotl's playing with the water...
Harie: Maybe that's why he chose the beach?
Canna: Ahaha! I guess Xolotl really wanted to hang out at the beach. And considering what a blast it is out here, I don't blame him!
Diantha: Then what's the reason I get another chance to perform?
Head Priestess: It's too early to say, but I'm sure Xolotl has it all thought out.
Xolotl: ...
Diola: Maybe. Maybe not.
Canna: Haha, does it really matter? What does matter is that we pull out all the stops for the concert!
Diantha: Right! Let's give it our best, everyone!
Maidens: Yeah!
And thus the five maidens who've traveled far from their hometown begin preparations for the concert.
Only fate knows what could possibly be awaiting them in the days to come.
