Year 3287 of the World Calendar.
I planned on spending the summer break with my favorite pastime:
reading books at the dormitory of the Lowe Sneum Memorial Upper School.
Reading to my heart's content.
Wil, can we barge in?
Oh, makeup classes, sir?
Yes. Oh, that's right! Can you help out?
Okay.
Hey guys! Mr.Wil Schultz from fifth grade will be your teacher for today!
Is this upperclassman serving detention, too?
No way! His academic grades are so good, it wouldn't be a surprise if he skipped grades.
Wow!
You guys better extend your greetings.
It's a pleasure.
Makeup classes for first year students is geography, right?
This is the continent which we live in.
It's divided in the middle by the Lutoni River and the Central Mountains.
To the east is our country, The Roxcheanouk Union, better known as Roxche.
And to the west lies...
The evil empire!
What is the official name?
The United Kingdom of Bezel and Iltoi, also known as Sous-Beil.
Correct. Roxche and Sous-Beil have a long history of war,
feuding with each other for over one hundred and thirty years.
Then again, as you all know, the two countries have been in a cease-fire for the past ten years.
Why can't they get along with each other?
They should try to make friends just like classmates would.
That would be quite difficult.
The reason being is that both countries claim they are the ancestors to man.
Which country was man born in?
Which country has a longer history?
Which country can claim first rights?
Both countries think they are correct.
Sir, who do you think is right?
Well...
What is it?
The insignia of the Arrow of Theron!
It's the Roxche Air Force!
Wow! It's for real!
Hey, let's go!
Yeah!
Hey, watch out for the propeller!
It's a blonde... girl.
Long time no see, Wil.
Allison...
How have you been?
The second I saw her smile...
I had the feeling that my plans for the summer were suddenly going to change.
It's been six months since we last met.
Right, although I didn't expect you to come in a plane.
The military provided it as my reward for being a role model.
Would you believe me if I said so?
Of course not.
I'm stationed at a unit which transports airplanes.
Didn't I mention it in my letter?
Yeah, last fall. On the twenty-fourth line of your second letter in November.
I'm on a mission to transport that brand new training craft.
And since I was going to fly over this area...
They brought you down here.
I flew it down here, to be precise.
How have you been?
So-so, I guess.
I've been reading books at the library and taking it easy.
What about you, Allison?
Less than so-so.
Although it's fun to be able to fly the skies...
...I'm still not permitted to pilot a fighter plane.
By the way! I have interesting news to tell you.
I received a love letter the other day!
Huh.
Huh? Is that all you have to say?
Well, no... that is...
I'm going to tell you the rest of the story, since it's interesting.
Guess what? The sender was someone from Sous-Beil.
Eh? From the west?
Yeah. Six months ago, there was this joint rescue drill.
I asked to tag along,
where a young second lieutenant from Sous-Beil's air force introduced himself to me.
Hello. If you don't mind, would you like to have some tea with me?
I am here as a pilot!
And what happened?
He apologized for his rudeness and sent me a letter afterwards.
It said: "I would like to officially go out with you and exchange letters."
In the end, I sent him a reply and declined his offer in a way as to not offend him.
Are you surprised?
Yeah, I am.
Right?
Not only that, I'm impressed.
Impressed?
To reach up to such levels...
Levels?
For soldiers of both sides to associate with each other so casually...
What?
Not just military issues, but sending letters as well?
At least you could have replied you were okay on exchanging letters, Allison!
Is there anything else to report?
Um... I went to Kaashi last month.
Last month? Then, you went to the Kaashi Festival, you lucky guy!
Well, I didn't go there to have fun, but to participate in a shooting contest.
Wil? Why?
During class, I was told I had potential. They then forced me to join the shooting club.
After undergoing training, I became the school representative.
Not only that...
And, how did you fare?
I placed second.
What? That's amazing, Wil! Second place?
Hey, don't stand up! It's dangerous!
What a surprise!
How come you didn't tell me sooner?
Well, it would seem like I was trying to brag.
Wil, you have to compliment yourself more often!
All right. From now on, I'm going to brag about you when you're with me!
Thanks.
Come to think of it, you're quite suited for guns, Wil.
As the saying goes: "Carefree people are the best shooters."
You're the twenty-seventh person to say that, Allison.
Are you keeping count?
No, I just remember it.
Oh, there's that old man.
An acquaintance of yours?
No, he roams around this place every day.
He's infamous for soliciting students and making them listen to his strange tales.
Strange?
For example, he was formerly employed as a butler to a royal family,
and he used to own a diamond mine.
That's why everyone calls him "Old Crackpot."
Howdy! You're the brilliant student from the upper school who diligently studies all the time.
And what a beautiful young lady with blonde hair!
I was taking a walk and became tired.
Um... I'm sorry, but can you take me back home?
Sure!
Eh?
You were going to do it anyway, right Wil?
Since you're not the type to turn down people's requests.
It's just right over there.
I won't interfere with your date.
No, it's not that.
Wil!
Ah, what a safe driver you are.
I'm impressed.
Then again, you're no match for me.
It's not only his driving.
He has excellent grades, he's a bookworm, and a sharpshooter, too!
He was runner-up at the shooting contest in Kaashi!
That's incredible.
Still, you couldn't beat me back when I was young.
Since I won four times.
Amazing!
If he's telling the truth, you lose, Wil.
You really saved me.
Thanks a lot.
You're welcome.
Then, we'll see you again.
Grandpa, where were you all this time?
Sorry, sorry.
If you can't make your way back, don't wander off so far!
Well, they were kind enough to take me back home today.
Oh, sorry for the trouble.
I bet he rudely asked you to take him home.
No.
Yes.
This is Norma, my nagging housekeeper.
"Nagging" is uncalled for.
Well, I'm off to town for shopping.
I prepared some tea, so please be our guests and stay as long as you like.
Delicious!
This is the first time I tasted something as wonderful as this!
Ouch!
You're right! It's delicious!
That's good to hear. Especially since this is endorsed by the Royal family.
When I was young, I worked there as a gardener.
Therefore, I can obtain it through special means.
Wow, I'm envious.
And, is that another story you just made up?
Allison!
Sorry! I wasn't telling the truth.
I have no connections with the Royal family at all.
As a matter of fact, I've never been a gardener, either.
As I thought.
By the way, young ones.
Let me tell you one more interesting story to pass off time.
This is something which I haven't talked much about.
To tell you the truth, I know the location of a wonderful treasure.
Treasure?
Are you telling the truth this time?
Yes... although I have fabricated many stories, this one is for real.
What kind of treasure?
An incredible treasure.
How incredible?
Something priceless.
It's too valuable.
However... however...
This treasure can put an end to the war between Roxche and Sous-Beil.
It's that valuable.
Incredible, isn't it?
But, how did you find it?
By coincidence.
I'm sure you've heard about Roxche's poison gas operation?
In the midst of a catastrophic war, it was what saved the besieged forces of Roxche.
The miracle plan.
Oh, thanks to Lt. Col. McMillan's special troops.
I've heard about it.
With only a handful of men, he infiltrated enemy lines and headed the poison attack.
However, it not only took the lives of the enemy, but also resulted in casualties for members of his own squad.
But as a result, Roxche was miraculously saved.
Am I correct?
Yes, and I am one of the survivors from those special troops.
But, I heard that everyone except the lieutenant colonel died.
The announcement from the army was a lie.
In reality, everyone survived.
But they were treated as dead over fears of retaliation.
Not only that, Lt. Col. McMillan never existed.
He was a fictional character.
If what you say is true,
how can I attest to the history lessons I've studied?
History has always been subject to doubt.
The important thing isn't how to address the truth,
but rather how to twist it to make it suit one's needs.
Then, why didn't you go after the treasure yourself?
Because the treasure lies in an area occupied by Sous-Beil.
What is now an off-limits buffer zone along the Lutoni River.
You see...
I'm an Air Force pilot.
If there's a mission that allows me to fly nearby...
...I can secretly take you there on my own.
Are you allowed to do that?
No.
Um...
I'll be tossed into the brig for sure if they found out.
But won't I be able to offset it by finding the treasure?
What do you think, gramps?
I'm surprised to see a soldier like you, young lady.
Times sure have changed.
Can I see it for a minute?
"Ah, an orphan chick will fly without bounds," huh.
So? Will you come with me?
You people sound like fun.
It may be interesting to go along with you.
Good afternoon.
I am from the county hall.
I would like to talk to the owner about this land and corresponding tax issues.
Er, are you two family members?
They're guests.
Sir, I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but...
...can you come to the office with me right now?
Hey, right now?
We're still in the middle of an important conversation, you know.
I have orders from above to bring the gentleman with me.
Along with official papers.
Very well.
I'll go with you.
You two can make yourselves at home.
You don't have to lock up.
Huh? W-Wait...
The nerve of that man!
I don't care if he's a civil servant or if he's on duty...
Doesn't he have any manners?
Something's strange.
What is?
He said he came from the county hall, yet he mistook us for the old man's family.
Once he saw the sidecar, he should have know right away that we were either students or faculty from the school.
So, I think he's not what he claimed to be.
Allison, what are you doing?
What else? We're going after them.
Eh?
Y-You're going too fast!
Sorry!
I found them!
I wonder where they're going?
Definitely not towards town since they're heading in the wrong direction.
That makes him all the more suspicious!
Now that it comes to this, I'm going to chase him all the way!
He has a gun!
Allison, hit the deck!
Ouch...
Wil? Wil? Wil!
Allison...
Wil!
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
I'll manage. How about you, Allison?
I'm fine. Thanks.
"Terol property from this point on. No trespassing."
Is anything wrong?
Shht!
Is that the sound of a car?
Wrong.
I've never seen that type of plane before.
Can it be that the old man is on it?
Hey, wait a minute, Allison!
That's private property, you know!
But it's an emergency!
Hurry up, Wil!
Just as I thought.
One airplane in the hangar.
And nobody around to keep watch, huh.
A-Allison, what are you up to?
Allison, don't be reckless!
Listen, Wil.
Someone has just been abducted, you know.
We have to find out where the suspect is headed for,
and then inform the authorities as any model citizen would, right?
But...
I'm only chasing them for just a while.
I'd be happy if you would come with me.
Yeah, I got it.
But don't do anything reckless.
Roger.
"Forgive me for my actions."
"Allow me to borrow one training craft, jackets, goggles, and caps."
"I repeat... I am only borrowing it, so no hard feelings."
Wil, how do you feel about being in the skies?
It's a little scary.
It's pretty high, and there's nothing underneath my feet.
I'm not feeling comfortable.
Say, Wil.
Didn't you once write to me saying that you wanted to ride a plane?
About the same time last year, on the fourteenth line of the second page.
But now that I'm riding it...
Don't worry, trust me.
It's not that.
Huh?
It's better than I thought.
I see.
Welcome to the skies, Wil!
This reckless flight was only the beginning
of the mind-boggling events that were to unfold before Allison and me.
We're off to the skies!
To the skies!
What will lie ahead of us?
I wonder what.
Hey, Wil.
Um... that is...
In the next episode, a bigger adventure will be awaiting us!
Are you sure?
Well, that is...
