Ivita whispered, "The current Great Governor of Central Harbour—the theoretical leader of the pirate world—also bears this name."
Wind Bone Old Lady paused, muttering to herself, "Could it be such a coincidence? That sleazy mess of a boy has accomplished so much? No, should I say he's as unsuccessful as this? He has actually become some sort of petty pirate."
Ivita rolled up the parchment and tucked it into his coat pocket.
"It might just be a coincidence. Let's get going."
...
By the time Ivita returned to the Longhair Tribe, night had fallen. Seeing the tribe members exiting their treehouses with plates filled with colorful insect barbecue, Ivita suddenly felt as if he had entered the kingdom of bizarre cuisine!
The Dead Cow Wizard and Kamizuki, who had stayed behind, almost burst into tears when they saw Ivita.
They desperately wanted to escape this place.
The Dead Cow Wizard and Kamizuki mournfully watched Ivita, who had returned with Wind Bone Granny.
