Ocean Loving Coast Guard
While the crew is taking a break at a beach, Lyria is distraught to see a man jump off a cliff. He turns out to be a lifeguard named Joel, and he tells the crew of a vast ocean supposedly at the bottom of the sky. To try and get there, he decides to join the crew.
(Captain) and company visit Auguste to deliver goods.
Upon finishing a task, the crew takes the opportunity to enjoy some time off at the beach.
Lyria: I'm so glad the water doesn't stink anymore!
Vyrn: Yeah! The old man at the shop said that he was in real trouble with the beach closed during the tourist season.
Vyrn: Heh-heh... But things should be back to normal in no time! That's one less thing to worry about.
As they walk along the beach, watching the waves roll in, Lyria suddenly shouts in surprise.
Lyria: Gasp!
Look! What's that person doing way up there?
Look! What's that person doing way up there?
???: ...
A young man standing on top of a rocky outcrop takes a deep breath and then dives into the sea below.
Lyria: Aaah! Oh my gosh! He fell into the water!
The distraught Lyria starts rushing towards the water, but the young man resurfaces before she gets there.
???: Huff...
Lyria: A-are you okay? You're not hurt, are you? Did you hit your head or anything?
???: Huh? What's going on? Why are you giving me the third degree?
Lyria: I-I... You just fell from that cliff!
???: Oh, you mean my dive? No need to worry. I do that all the time.
Lyria: Huh?
So you fall all the time?
So you fall all the time?
???: Come again...
You don't swim here too often, do you?
You don't swim here too often, do you?
???: That cliff is really popular with divers. There are no rocks beneath it, so it's plenty safe.
???: But I guess it looks pretty dangerous if you don't know that. Sorry if I startled you.
Lyria: No... I should be saying sorry. I shouldn't have started screaming like that.
???: Are you guys tourists? The beach is still closed, so I'm afraid not many of the shops are open right now.
???: But it's almost time for lunch, so let me take you to a restaurant I know.
Come with me.
Come with me.
Vyrn: So you're a lifeguard, huh?
Joel: That's right. But with the beach closed, all us lifeguards are on vacation.
Vyrn: Really? Then why are you here?
Joel: Because I love swimming, and I love the ocean. Watching it calms me.
Joel: I always gaze at the ocean when I have something on my mind.
Lyria: Are you... worried about something?
Joel: Umm... No, nothing like that. I have a dream. Lyria, have you heard that there's a vast ocean at the bottom of the sky?
Lyria: What? Are you saying the sky ends in an ocean?
Joel: That's what the legends say. Ever since I was little, all I've wanted to do is swim in that endless sea...
Joel: And whenever I'm off the clock, I think about nothing else.
Joel: Not that I know how to get there or anything.
Vyrn: Hmm... I've never heard of anyone who's been to the bottom of the sky.
Vyrn: Though (Captain)'s dad apparently managed to reach the edge of it.
Joel: The sky's edge? You mean Estalucia, Island of the Astrals?
Lyria: Exactly! We're looking for the sky's edge. Isn't that right, (Captain)?
Joel: I see...
Joel: ...
Joel: (Captain), I think I might want to join you on your quest.
Vyrn: Are you sure, Joel?
Joel: Sure of what?
Vyrn: I mean, you know we're heading to the sky's edge, right?
Joel: Yes...
Because you just said that.
Because you just said that.
Vyrn: But didn't you say you wanna go to the bottom of the sky?
Joel: I did.
Vyrn: Hold it for a second! That means our destinations are different!
Joel: Oh, is that what you were getting at? I guess I need to explain.
Joel: I want to get to the bottom of the sky, but I don't know how to do it.
Joel: Your aim is the sky's edge, but you'll be stopping at various locations along the way, correct?
Joel: While we journey, I can look for a way down. That's why I'd like to go with you.
Vyrn: Couldn't you have just said that in the first place?
Joel: I suppose I could have... My apologies.
Joel: So, (Captain), how about it? May I join your crew?
Joel: ...
Vyrn: You okay? What's with the sudden silence?
Joel: Huh? Oh, it's nothing. I just didn't expect you to say yes so quickly. Took me by surprise.
Choose: But you can't swim on most islands...
Joel: That's a small price to pay for the chance to swim in that endless sea!
Joel: Besides, I have a spell to make spheres of water on land. I'll have to make do with swimming in those.
Lyria: Wow! That's amazing! You'll have to show us later!
Joel: Sure thing.

Joel: I'll try my best to help you and your crew. You won't regret it, (Captain).
Thus Joel, a young lifeguard looking for a way to the vast sea at the bottom of the sky, joins (Captain)'s crew.
Does the boundless ocean that he so longs for actually exist? Only time will tell.
