THE FREEZE - Chapter 5: Tearing Off the Chains
Jin spots Joel floating in the icy waters and saves him. Joel reveals that he was told to put fish in certain nets to fix the game that Agielba was playing with the other fisherman. Finding this out, Soriz and the others confront the crew of the explorer ship.
On board the explorer ship Agielba has gained a great deal of popularity with the fishermen by playing games with them.
However, after losing and being a very bad sport about it, his reputation has been tarnished considerably.
Agielba: Sob…
Ippatsu: Wha-! Agielba's fainted!
Soriz: It's fine, just leave 'im there.
Jin: Phew, that's all my chores done for the day. Now, to fishing… huh?
Jin is about to start fishing, when he spots someone floating in the water.
Joel: Cough… Cough…
Jin: Joel! Wake up, grab on to this!
Jin throws a life preserver out to Joel and drags him back up onto the deck.
Joel: Cough! Thank you… I'm sorry I fell… Cough!
Jin: Don't thank me yet, not until we know you're OK. Just focus on breathing!
Joel: Haaah… Haaah…
Jin: Joel, you're normally such an excellent swimmer. What could have happened for you to be in such a position?
Jin: You were tired? But why were you swimming in these icy waters to begin with?
Joel: I was trying to get a fish in the net…
Jin: What? A fish?
Joel: Yes. I was just about to catch an incredibly rare fish, when… Achoo!
Jin: Come on, if we stay out here you're going to catch a cold! Let's get you into something dry.
Joel: B-but I still haven't finished my chores…
Jin: Don't worry about that! We can cover for you.
Joel: Thank you… Achoo!
Jin: I still can't believe he'd go to that much trouble just to recatch one fish…
Rough Fisherman: Hahahahaha! I gotta say, seein' your luck change so quickly's makin' me think twice about payin' the game again!
Agielba: …
Rough Fisherman: C'mon, if ye wanna get back in with the crew, this time ye're gonna have to work fer it!
Jin: Stop!
Soriz: Jin?
Jin: Agielba didn't lose! The games were fixed!
Soriz: What!
Ippatsu: What do you mean?
Rough Fisherman: What're you doin' stickin' yer nose into our business? Them's mighty big words!
Jin: Indeed they are! But I have proof that you told Joel to put fish into your net!
Eugen: In the net… You mean he forced Joel to swim in these waters? But they're ice cold!
Agielba: What? So the game was fixed from the start? That explains it!
Rough Fisherman: Sh-shut up! The game's already over, there's no goin' back from that!
Soriz: So what if it's over! This isn't about the game any more, it's about what you did to Joel!
The two parties glare at each other, the tension palpable. (Captain) and crew overhear the commotion and rush over.
Lyria: Ahem! What's going on over here? You all look very serious!
Ippatsu: Good timing! We were just about to teach these no-good fishermen a lesson!
Eugen: Really? About time! Let's do it, (Captain)!
