I regret to say Aida Mana and her friends have all disappeared. Hopefully, they are safely back in their homeworld. It seems my crew continues have bad luck when it comes to keeping people around...

Of course, this leaves me with no choice but to succeed Mana's position as the captain of The Friend Ship. [A small sigh.] I should have known suggesting that name would come back to haunt me.

[Written | Private to the Friend Ship crew]

Mana left behind a message for all of us. I will copy it here.

Hello everyone. If Jade-san is showing you this, it means I've been sent home. I'm somewhat unsure of what to write here, considering I don't know the circumstances of what may happen if I depart. But since many have disappeared without warning, I wanted to make sure I had this prepared just in case.

I don't know quite what to say exactly, because I don't know the exact circumstances of my being gone. You can't really know the future, can you? So this may be a bit imperfect as well.

Before I came to this world, I was a student council president, a Precure, and... an ordinary girl. I'd never been the captain of a vessel, and when I found myself one, I found it was very different from any of those other things. And I'm not sure how I adjusted to the challenges that I faced in being a captain. I faced something I never thought I would before, in someone who twisted the love I always believed in into something wrong and violent.

But I also got the chance to know all of you. I got to make friends I never would have met by coming here; friends who supported us when Rikka, Alice, and I found ourselves struggling with what happened. We also had adventures, we fought side by side... and I hope, on one level, I will never forget that.

I'm not sure what else to say, but... I have a great deal of love for all of you. If this is goodbye, I hope you all never lose your heart thumping excitement!

All of them, I'm afraid.

....

Sorry to hear that... Hope they made it back home too, though. Who all's left?

The Lhant brothers, Anise, Guy, Henry and Finnian. Manning the ship won't be easy with just seven of us, but we'll manage.

So most of the old crew, at least. Ah, that's right. You guys recently upgraded ships, huh...

Not the best move we could have made, but such is hindsight. At least there is plenty of space.

Well, space is good? And there are always new faces popping up in Empieza.

...but if you ever need a hand with anything, just say something, all right?

Isla Empieza will most likely be our next destination anyway. We might as well keep an eye out for newcomers.

Of course. I appreciate it, Gaius.

Don't be a stranger now.

[That as his words of parting, the thief will leave it at that.]
