Raphael sees nothing.

I knew I would eventually run into those who cannot be enlightened.
"Wow! This is a very suspicious place. Something is definitely wrong here."
- Hmm, it's a bit expensive! Have a good day, miss! - After saying goodbye to the saleswoman, Raphael headed towards Haven.
— I can fly to Margel and clarify all the information you need, but it will take a few days until I return.
After this, Klin and CO request a personal audience with the new captain, expressing concern about the situation and asking for clarification.
It was too dark inside to see anything.

"Her Highness cannot afford to waste valuable time thinking that her squad is on a mission when it has long since ceased to exist. I ask you to go to Margel and find out everything possible, and also report that our ship was captured by the dark Lunarian, Tyros, as a result of a crew mutiny. The fate of the captain, as well as our own, is unknown to us. We will try to negotiate with the new captain to ensure the safety of at least our mission, and ideally, also the servants of Her Highness from the previous captain and the ship's crew, but there are no guarantees of success. On the way back from Margel, you will either find us on the same ship or in the port; otherwise, consider our mission a failure."

"No, I think that's enough," Aiyano puts the card in her pocket. "Hmm... I remembered a small legend from my homeland... Once, a cunning man tried to deceive a 'shrine maiden,' and as a result, Kami punished him by taking away his entire lower half. Heh. Honestly, I don't know why I told that," she shrugged. "I just remembered it. I guess I felt some kind of nostalgia after this photoshoot. Well, I thank you again for your time, Mei-san; you really helped me a lot," she said respectfully, then tapped her pocket with the notebook. "However, I think I helped you too. To be honest, I had some prejudice about all this," she glanced around the agency. "Based on a bad personal experience. But after meeting you, I realized that sometimes it might make sense to open your heart to things that it was previously closed to. I sincerely wish you success in your endeavors."

Slightly flustered, the seamstress was about to pat the dwarf on the head, but she quickly reconsidered and refrained.
— I'm sure that this scoundrel will be caught soon... This city is home to the empire's government and the imperial family, so it should have the best guard in the country...
— That's right... Of course, you're right. It's just... — Aiko looked at the flags for a while. — The guard in this city is undoubtedly the best, but how did this tragedy still happen? Just imagine yourself in their place, how would you even catch such a madman? I'm sure Miss Gloria couldn't have had any enemies; she was the kind of person who wouldn't hurt a fly, and it seems highly unlikely to me that a criminal with crazy eyes is just walking around the city, waiting to be caught... If that were the case, the locals would have noticed it, and the matter would have already been resolved, wouldn't you agree? — she watches for a reaction, as Aiko's main goal was to get the shopkeeper to reveal information about any suspicious individuals in the area.
— And without that... I don't even know. The thought that the person I was just talking to is gone, and her killer is living peacefully, trying to delay their inevitable capture... It's terribly unfair.
Which shop is Ayko in?
Actually, my post was meant as a joke, if that's what you were referring to. ;) But if not, then so be it. Either way, the decision is made, and it's a fair one. It's hard to say which candidate would have been better.
"It's amazing, I told Miss Gloria the same thing just a few days ago, and look how things turned out."
-- Indeed... Of course, you're right. It's just... -- Aiko looked at the flags for a while. -- The guard in this city is undoubtedly the best, but how did this tragedy still happen? Just imagine yourself in their place, how would you even catch such a madman? I'm sure Miss Gloria couldn't have had any enemies; she's the kind of person who wouldn't hurt a fly, and it seems highly unlikely to me that a criminal with wild eyes is just walking around the city, waiting to be caught... If that were the case, the locals would have noticed and the matter would have been resolved, wouldn't it? -- she watches the reaction, as Aiko's main goal was to get the shopkeeper to reveal information about any suspicious individuals in the area.
-- And without that... I don't even know. The thought that the person I was just talking to is gone, and her killer is living peacefully, trying to delay their inevitable capture... It's terribly unfair.
It was clear from the shopkeeper that she sympathized with both Gloria and Aiko, but she didn't quite understand how she herself ended up in the current situation.
A sad sigh, and only Ayko knew that the reason for it, among other things, was the lack of leads.
-- Excuse me... I guess this monologue seemed silly. The truth is, you can't confide in just anyone, and you turned out to be a good listener... I promise I won't bother you anymore," the girl sat for another half-minute, gathering her thoughts, and then got up and bowed, thanking the kind saleswoman with her eyes (not forgetting to pay for the order).
