THE FREEZE - Chapter 2: Life on the Cruel Sea - Episode 4

The fish that the party manages to catch is very bony, so there isn't much that they can eat. Just as their spirits begin to drop again, Lyria notices a large amount of sharks swimming in the water. When Joel informs them that sharks are edible, (Captain) and the others cast the nets and pull the sharks onto the deck.



(Captain)and the others go to eat the fish they caught immediately, but…
Soriz: How is it, Ippatsu?
Ippatsu: Hmm… it's very bony. It'd make for a good stock maybe, but it doesn't look too good for eating.
Vane: So if we had a pot you could make a soup, but…
Jin: Hmm… I do believe there is a way that you can eat fish even when completely raw… right?
Lyria: Whoa! That was a bit of a shock… isn't that a shark?
Soriz: Wha, sharks? Damn, more fish we can't eat!
Joel: Hm? Though we can eat shark.
Soriz: What? Is that true?
Ippatsu: In fact, shark meat is a highly-prized ingredient!
Agielba: Why didn't you say so earlier! Fetch the nets! Let's catch more of them!
Lancelot: Make haste! Before they get away!
Soriz: All right! Arrr!
Soriz casts the net over the sharks and, though they struggle violently, with herculean effort the party pull them onto the deck.
Ippatsu: Well then, let's start cooking!

THE FREEZE - Chapter 2: Life on the Cruel Sea - Episode 4: Scene 2

Although the crew successfully catch the shark, their plan is discovered by the other fishermen, and they throw it back into the water. Saddened and hungry, (Captain) and the crew ask one of the fishermen, who explains to them about the special currency used on the ship, known as “pieces of eight,” and used to buy food and time off, among other things.



Soriz: Woohoo! It's down now! Ippatsu, quickly!
Ippatsu: Yes sir! Leave it to me!
Rough Fisherman: What are ya makin' such a racket about? What happened to yer work? Work, swab!
Agielba: Uh oh, we've been busted!
Rough Fisherman: Huh? What are ya doin' with that shark?
Vyrn: Well, the old captain said that we weren't getting any food, so…
Rough Fisherman: Huh? You don't plan to eat that, do ya? What part o' "No Food" didn't ya understand, bilge rat?
Rough Fisherman: We'll be takin' that!
The fishermen push the shark off of the boat and back into the frozen sea.
Soriz: No!
Rough Fisherman: If ya've got time for harebrained schemes like this, then you've got time to do more work, newbies!
Vyrn: Darn it… After all that trouble to get the shark…
Lancelot: I'm sorry… I wish I had been able to get to it before those fishermen put it back in the ocean…
Ippatsu: Well, we would have had to hang the meat and dry it, it's not like we would've been able to eat it straight away.
Soriz: What? So there was no point in catching it in the first place?
Ippatsu: Well… I suppose you could say that…
Agielba: Urgh… we just wasted even more energy…
As (Captain) and the crew get hungrier and hungrier, one of the fishermen approaches.
Friendly Fisherman: Arr, you look like a barnacle that's been in a storm… Pitiful…
Vyrn: You say that, but we haven't eaten in so long…
Friendly Fisherman: Ya fools… there's one thing to remember on this ship. Ya get food, and everything else, from the cap'n.
Friendly Fisherman: He can take away yer food, or make ya work double shifts, for whatever reason!
Vyrn: What? That's crazy!
Friendly Fisherman: That's why we have a special currency on the ship. Pieces of eight! We call 'em pieces.
Friendly Fisherman: If ya keep disobeying the cap'n, you'll be in trouble… Here, take these, it's not much but it'll help ya get on yer feet.
Lyria: These are "pieces"?
Friendly Fisherman: That's right, little girl. If ya do yer job, ya'll get an allowance from the cap'n.
Friendly Fisherman: Well, 100 pieces is about enough for a rice ball.
Eugen: Thank you, friend. No one on this ship has told us anything about what's going on…
Friendly Fisherman: Well, that's just how the cap'n is. Life on the ship is hard, and it's hard to find seadogs to serve on the crew.
Jin: Thank you kindly, sir. I will pay you back, even if I have to—
Friendly Fisherman: All right, all right, that's enough o'that. Anyway, I've gotta get back ta work. Seeya!
(Captain) and the crew watch the fisherman leave, astonished at the strictness of life on the ship.
With the small amount of pieces of eight that they have received, they can finally begin their seafaring lives in earnest.
