Description
Requested by kurimello2 from Pixiv .Deep in the ocean blue, 8-year-old Saka is on the sandy bottom, unable to swim upward due to being a weak swimmer. There is water in her ears and up her nose and she cannot breathe. She now desperately looks for a way to reach the shore somehow as she is drowning.

Turn 51: Umi Miko
Harika : For both, actually, but more for going to Rune Town.

Saka: I don't need to armor up for going to Rune Town. The townswarriors are not quick to attack anyone on sight.

Harika : Well, what about while we're on the way there, missy? Not worried about wild beasts?

Turn 54: The Thunder
Saka: The Mythos? I'm one of the seven Island Girls of Misla, so exploring my home while having to worry about "wild beasts" will always be an issue. What about you? If your sister is a skilled warrior, are you one too?

With that, the two begin to make their way towards Rune Town, which is pretty far away from where they are.

They then reach a wide river. There's usually a bridge, but it would seem like it has broken down since.
Harika : Looks like they still haven't fixed it...

Harika : Luckily it's not that deep and the water's not rushing, but are you really sure you can swim?

Turn 62: The Thunder
Saka: I can, but... I'm just not too good at it. I can at least dog paddle.

Harika : ...That will do I guess... now come on, I'll watch your back as you swim.

Saka: Okay... thanks...
*Saka starts to swim across the river, dog-paddling.*

Harika slowly swims behind Saka to keep an eye on her in case she sinks or something.

*After a minute, the other side of the river is in sight, but Saka starts to grow tired.*
Saka: *pant... pant...* (Come on, Saka... You're almost there... Swim!)

*But Saka manages to push herself forward and grab the ledge at the river's end.*
Saka: *pant... pant... pant...* Ugh... That was close...
*Saka then starts to pull herself out of the water.*

Turn 71: Umi Miko
Harika lets out a sigh of relief and sits over right next to her.
Harika : That was a close one, but please don't do that again.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Turn 72: The Thunder
Saka: *pant...* Huh? What choice did I have?
*She then suddenly gives Harika a warm and soft smile.*
Saka: You know... it's funny. A few moments ago you took me prisoner and interrogated me needlessly, but then you "dropped your act" and now you've shown... concern for me. I think there's more to you than I know.

Turn 73: Umi Miko
Harika looks away at her comment, blushing slightly.
Harika : Don't take this the wrong way. I just don't like to be slowed down by inconveniences, and that includes you.

Turn 74: The Thunder
Saka: *looks away* I'm sorry. *stands up* We should get going. If we don't get to Rune Town soon, we could be hunted down by the Catas Tribe and believe me, no one wants that.

*They both make it to Rune Town eventually.*
Saka: Do you think your sister is here?

Turn 77: Umi Miko
Harika : I don't know, but that's what we're here for, aren't we, to see if my sister is here?

Turn 78: The Thunder
Saka: Yes. You should ask the townswarriors if they know.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Turn 79: Umi Miko
Harika : Yes, I should. Now let's go in.
After getting the clear from the gate guards, they both walk in and start to ask around the village for any information about Harika's sister. Villager by villager, they both come up empty.
Harika : Still no info on Joani it seems...

Turn 80: The Thunder
Saka: They would have known if she had been here. Are you sure she even came here?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Turn 71: Umi Miko
Harika : Well, we still haven't checked up with the higher ups of this village since she was sent here to send a message to the village chief or leader or whatever, so I suggest we check there just to make sure.

(So how should this go? Should Harika's sister be found at Rune Town? Captured by the Catas Tribe? Lost at sea? What?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(Well, I have a few scenarios in mind. First scenario is Joani slacking around in a bar, basically forgetting her mission and enjoying her time. Second scenario is her being captured and put behind bars by mistake for crimes she did not commit in Rune Town. Third scenario is her getting lost before reaching Rune Town. Fourth scenario is her getting captured by the Catas tribe or any other smaller tribes. Fifth and final scenario is her getting trapped somewhere with lots of water. Which one do you think is a good one to go with?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(There's only a tavern in Rune Town, which isn't quite a bar, but the closest thing. And Rune Town doesn't really have a prison and the townswarriors are smarter than that. Yeah, I'm intending that even generic characters in Misla will have the potential to make some humans feel bad about themselves for not being more intelligent. So, no surprise, I'm kind of leading towards the fifth scenario. And on the island of Misla, there's Oricha Lake, the Forest River, Mt. Tunnel, Samsara Jungle, including the Sleeping Swamp, Water City, or even the Mermaid Ocean itself.)

(Hmm... Water City and Mermaid Ocean sound interesting.)

(The Mermaid Ocean is where Saka had been rescued from, in case you didn't know.)

(Oh. So I guess we'll go to Water City then?)

(Alright.)
Turn 72: The Thunder
*Eventually, the girls speak to Lord Rendaxela, who watches over the town.*

Turn 73: Umi Miko
Harika : ...And that's our situation right now, Lord Rendaxela. Did you see my sister come here?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Turn 74: The Thunder
Lord Rendaxela: Yes I did. She came directly to me and did her duty that she was assigned to perform. She then left for Water City.
Saka: Hey, that's where my friends live!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Turn 75: Umi Miko
Harika : So she went there, huh? It's good to know she's still alive, but what would she be doing there I wonder?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Turn 76: The Thunder
Saka: Some of our townswarriors are there establishing more refuges in what little inhabitable places of the city are still floating. But I'm not sure what business your sister would have there. She could be looking after my friends, but our oldest Island Girl, Rya, is quite capable of doing that herself.

Turn 77: Umi Miko
Harika : That is rather intriguing, that's for sure. Alright, I'll see if I can find her there. Thank you for the info.

Once they arrive there, they decide to look around for any possible clues for Joani's whereabouts.

*Saka meets up with the other Island Girls and informs them of the events.*

Turn 81: Umi Miko
Sadly though, not one of them had any idea where Harika's sister went, and ones that seem to know gave only vague responses.
Harika : Just our luck, huh.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Turn 82: The Thunder
Rya: If anything happened to her, it could have been in the underwater depths of the city. There are electric eels down there. I always make sure the girls and I never play too deep in the water.
Halla: I think she did come to this city, but I don't know exactly if she left or went swimming underwater too deep.
Luna: Only townswarriors would swim down far enough because they're capable of defending themselves from the electric eels.
Saka: *sigh* Sorry, Harika. I just... I just don't know. Your hometown can't possibly punish your sister for whatever happened to her at this point. I just hope she's not secretly avoiding us.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Turn 83: Umi Miko
Harika : I really hope so too. She's always been loyal to our village and it would sadden me to suddenly hear that she's turning her back against us.

Turn 84: The Thunder
Saka: To be fair, there was that policy in your hometown...
