Do you believe??

Down in the jet-black water, where even the light of day can't reach.

I keep diving down, lower and lower, while withstanding the pressure that can make one pukes their guts out....

There, at the bottom... lies a giant gate.

And there...

I saw...

"The Edge of The World"...

The Kingdom that float on lotus's leaves The Lotus Kingdom

Did you save me...??

No... not really...

I saw you faint, so I just pick you up and put you there...

I didn't save you, not really...

No, you are indeed my savior...

I, ever since I was born, have never dive into the water even once...

I must admit, that was an extremely stupid thing to do for a delicate being such as I. I do not know what would have happen if you weren't there...

My father and mother taught me to always return kindness I received...

Because of that, if there is anything I can do to repay you, please....

Well, forget what I just said.

Then how about I hold your bag for you...

I don't think you can, you seems to be short of breath for some reason...

No, I am fine. This fatigue is just the result of imagining myself carrying your baggage...

Yeah, I don't get it.... But c'mon, stop being unreasonable...

...May I ask, where are we...??

We are currently inside the underpass connect between various underwater bubble spots.

But hey, not like a rich and sheltered little lady from Hightown would know we even exist down here.

But to explain...

We Lowtownders have always lived inside these heavy and dirty air-filled bubble spots as you see now...

Those fucking Hightownders force us to work as slaves, looking for their treasure...

Once I'm done here, I'm taking you back up there...!!

This isn't the place for a lady like you.

....I don't want to.

After all, I've escaped from Hightown.

I shall live here from now on....!!

From today, I shall also become a Lowtownder, like you...!

...Suit yourself...

Share them equally with everyone, Rotch.

Heheh... I know, I know.

I owe you one.

But you're totally a wanted man now, Hopper.

If those bastards caught you, they might torture, or worst, chop your head off...

Yeah, but still, someone need to do this...

And who's better at this than myself?

You still talking about that dream of yours, huh..?

Well, good for you...

What is the "Abyss"...??

You really don't know anything, do you..?

There is a enormous hole near Lowtown.

Lotus Kingdom

Abyss Hole

Bubble spot

Underpass

The hole is so deep, you can't even see the bottom of it. Some people even says it's lead to hell. That's why we call it "The Abyss".

Ooohhh~.... But what does it have anything to do with being a hero...?

No, the thing is...

...W-What's wrong, Rotch? Why are you making such a dumb looking face...?

You packed too much fat in yo' ass or some'...??

N....No....

T...that girl yo-you brought...

No...now that I took a good look, she is the neighboring kingdom's....!

...The neighboring kingdom...?

So she's not a rich lady from Lotus Kingdom...?

Oh come now, I am only a Lowtownder.
