Chapter 18: Pirate

Welcome back, children. I believe last time I was discussing how I defeated a giant monster singlehandedly, correct?
Say, where are the human and the brat?
They said they were going to go try and find some way to get rid of Miss Lujei for good.
Yeah, no idea when they'll be back.
Hello everyone!
BEEP BEEP BLIP BEEP. GREETINGS.
If you guys are here, who's watching the crazy?
It's okay, when we left she was having a conversation with a potted plant. Why do we have a crazy ghost, if you don't mind me asking?
Laharl.
TOLD YOU SO, JENNIFER. I WIN THE BET.
Darn.
A lost girl, a robot, and a dimwit. All you guys need is a creepy furry and a dog and you're ready for the movies. Can we have less chatting and more listening to how cool I am?

Anyway, I rocked that monster like it was going out of style.

I just called Father Salade asking for back, but...
(I've never seen Sister Alouette look like that...
She's so pretty!)
Look, it's coming!
What's that sound?
Maybe our backup is here!!
No, I don't think so...
Look at that!



An airship?!

Who'd even want an airship?
I would!



But... it's flying... in the sky...
Nothing surprises me anymore.
If a giant monster can attack the city, what's the big deal about a flying ship?



The flying ship was crewed by kitties?
They're so cute!
They're kind of creepy in my opinion.

And don't use the big guns! Understand?!!
They're too powerful, they take all the fun out of it...
Varmints. Move it. Double time. I mean now!
You keep your mouth shut!!
And stay out of our way!
Whaaaaaat was thaaaaaat?!?!?!?!?!
Papillon... Why don't you come over here with me?
Yes Captain...
All right me! Are you ready?!
If the Goddess wants us she'll take us. In the meantime, we're going to have a blast!
If we do go out, we'll go out with a bang!
Come on hair-balls! It's monster fighting time!!





That was when things started to get strange. There was an odd voice, crying out: "It hurts..."



There it is again...!
It couldn't be that creature... Could it?



Hairballs!! Let's go get ourselves a monster!
Anyone who isn't afraid to die, come with me!!
Not you, Papillon. You have to stay here.
We'll have a quiet date later.

Here they come!



Behold our savage Kitty and Crossbones Flag, and despair!!
Onward men!!

Do they plan to take the creature prisoner?
Well, they certainly are enthusiastic, aren't they?
Enough with the chitchat! We have to stop them!
There's something special about that creature!!

The creature was greatly weakened by our battle and their cannon attack. Without our help they certainly would have defeated it. We managed to intervene, and I quickly stomped the captain of the ship into the curb.

Listen buddy... Wait, are you a girl...?
Please accept my humble apologies. A man should always introduce himself to a lady.
I am Captain Homard...



Wow!
Those guys remind me of a certain other group of people I know...
I have no idea what you could be talking about.

A Sister, eh?
How nice. As a token of our new friendship...



W-what was that?!
Same to you!
You just tried to hug me, right?!
You've got some nerve, trying that kind of thing with a pure, innocent girl like me!
Are you out of your gourd?! I was just saying hello!!
And what kind of pure, innocent girl has an uppercut like that?!
You're no lady!!
Whaaaaaat?!
Prier! We don't have time for this! Look!!



It's headed in the direction of the church!
Everybody! After it!
H-hey!
...They're gone. Why were they in such a hurry?

That'll be good for today I think.
Thursday, give us a prediction for next time based on your analysis.
ROGER JENNIFER.
BEEP BEEP BLIP BEEP. PREDICTING... PREDICTING...
PREDICTION COMPLETE.
THEY WILL BE FIGHTING GIANT MUSHROOMS.
Eerily accurate prediction. Remind me to find you next time I want to play the lottery.
