Brother, I'm starving.
You'll have to hold on till we get to Balbadd.
It's a mess over there right now.
Even so, we're still going to need to get some money.
Brother, look over there!
He reeks of alcohol.
Must've passed out from all that alcohol.

My desires are within reach.

That's just how it is here.

They get swept away by those excuses day by day.

They're nothing more than a chip, swept off the edge

7th Night
His Name is Sinbad
Hey Mor?
You're going to Balbadd so you can catch a ship back to your homeland, right?
Yes.
And also because I wanted to see you two again.
I wanted to give my thanks to both you and Alibaba.
Your thanks?
I am so grateful to you both for giving me back my future.
Thank you so much, Aladdin.
No! Stop that, Mor!
I'm pretty sure I can speak for Alibaba too when I say that neither of us freed you just to get your thanks!
Huh?
I'm sure he did it just because it was the right thing to do!
Now I really want to see him again too.
As long as we keep following this road, we will.
Yeah, that's true.
Hello there!
What a beautiful day we're having!
Mor, stand back! He's dangerous!
No, it's okay! I will handle this!
Wait, I'm not!
He might be a monster!
Please hear me out.
I am aware. I will take care of him!
Thanks for lending me some clothes, Aladdin.
My name's Sin.
I was on my way to Balbadd when thieves robbed me clean.
I see. I'm sorry, mister.
I'm sorry for my reaction too.
Crossing the desert has made me a bit too wary of danger.
Oh? You've crossed the desert?
I crossed the Central Desert, coming from the northern Tenzan Plateau.
I saw so many strange plants and animals!
That's great.
It feels great when you encounter new lands and new knowledge.
The confidence, experience, and bonds of friendship that are formed through adventuring are priceless.
Adventures are splendid. They are truly what makes a man a man.
I understand! I totally understand how you feel, mister!
And meeting lovely ladies like you is also part of the adventure.
Oh.
Wait.
I can smell the sea.
Once you get to the top of that hill, you should be able to see it.
This is...
Balbadd!
Yeah.
This is the nation of Balbadd,
made up of this port city as its capital and hundreds of various islands in its adjacent waters.
It's a great oceanic nation.
With relations to the oases in the north,
small nations in the northeast,
and Partevia and Laem Empires in the west,
Balbadd has flourished as the center of maritime trade since times untold.
The royal family here is the Saluja and they've governed this nation for generations.
"Down with the monarchy"?
The country fell into disorder with the death of the previous king.
But this place here is safe!
It's the best hotel in the country and the one I always stay at.
I'll pay for your rooms. Stay as long as you'd like.
Wow, thanks mister! You're so rich!
Who are you?
Get out of here, you weirdo!
What's so weird about me?
Everything!
He's here.
Honestly. What is he doing?
Your clothes are way too revealing!
Please stop.
It seems as if our master has inconvenienced you.
As he said, please let us cover your room fees.
Thank you, friends of Sin!
And you, please do something about your inappropriate attire.
See you later, Aladdin and Morgiana!
Let's eat together!
Were you surprised to see another Fanalis?
Yes, I suppose so. We are a rare sight.
I'm sure the answer is no, but you didn't let everything get stolen, did you?
Yes, I did.
Not just your clothes, but all of your tools and everything you had on you?
Yes, everything.
You... Have you forgotten what those tools are?
Don't worry!
I'll take care of it. Just leave it to me!
Honestly...
How long is it going to take you to start acting like a king?
You are Sinbad, the King of Sindria!
Wow, this is such a nice room!
Wait, miss!
Where would we be able to find a ship headed to the Dark Continent?
The Dark Continent?
Oh, you mean a ship traveling to the south.
That might be hard to find at the moment.
How come?
You see...
M-Mister Sinbad. It's been a while.
No need for pleasantries.
I'm only here for one thing.
Reopen maritime trade with Sindria.
Your father and I cultivated an alliance between our two nations. Are you trying to break that?
I-I'm sorry, but it's impossible for me to reopen trade.
I already have my hands full with domestic issues here in Balbadd.
What?
The Fog Troupe?
Yes.
This city often gets fog, but recently, a group of thieves has been appearing with the fog.
Just a group of stinking thieves...
But two years ago, they broke into the royal treasury and their numbers have been growing ever since.
They equip themselves with some strange magic.
The army can't do anything against them. They've become a powerful anarchist force.
But they only attack the mansions of nobles and national trading vessels,
and they redistribute the goods and money they gain, so some people are considering them heroes.
Heroic thieves...
Heroic thieves? Yeah right.
By stealing from the treasury, all they've done is raise the taxes!
The people are idiots.
You two have a terrible reputation.
It's not our fault!
This really annoying guy just took over the Fog Troupe recently.
Ever since, the riots and upheavals have gotten worse.
The new leader...
Yes, his name is Alibaba.
They call him Miracle Man Alibaba.
Why on earth did he have to show up now of all times!
Ahbmad, shh!
A-At any rate, because of the Fog Troupe, trade is impossible.
If you want to reopen trade that badly, you'll have to find your own solution.
You don't mind if I do?
I'll get rid of that Fog Troupe.
I don't need your army either. We'll do it alone.
Miracle Man Alibaba.
I'm sure that's not our Alibaba.
Yeah...
I can't wait to see Alibaba again.
Are you all right, Ahbmad?
Just fine.
No matter what he does, reopening trade with Sindria is impossible.
If he gets rid of the Fog Troupe in the process, well, all the better for us.
Kou Empire
Eat to your heart's content!
Balbadd's speciality, herb cooked Eumera sea bream.
I haven't introduced you to my men yet, have I?
These are Jafar and Masrur.
Morgiana, Masrur is a Fanalis.
What?
You are too, aren't you?
You two have the same eyes.
Nice to meet you.
You too.
So what do you plan on doing?
You made such a bold statement to those brothers but you don't have any of your tools.
Hi! I'm Aladdin!
Nice to meet you.
You and Mor are from the same place, right?
It'll work out.
What?
At Sindria's founding, the previous king of Balbadd taught me a lot about trading.
Yes.
You're so big! Are other Fanalis like him?
I'm not sure...
Even though he's no longer with us, I owe him a great debt.
But Ugo's still in a league of his own.
Let me introduce you to my friend, Ugo!
I can't stand by and watch his nation fall to chaos.
Aladdin, you're also a Magi?
Also? Mister, do you know other Magi?
Yup.
Mister, who are you?
The name is Sinbad.
What?
Ha-Haven't you heard of me?
The adventures of Sinbad! I'm him!
Who?
The man who has traveled countless roads and sailed untold voyages,
who has navigated the world's seven seas,
who has conquered seven dungeons and built his own country!
The master of seven djinn, high king of the seven seas,
Sinbad!
Th-That's... amazing?
I'm not sure if I really understand though...
You don't?
Even though you're a Magi?
Mister, what exactly is a Magi?
I'm not even sure I understand myself.
What I can say is that this here is something only a Magi could do.
Only a Magi can produce enough magoi to so easily summon a djinn for such an extended period of time.
Magoi refers to the energy produced by rukh.
Ordinary people are able to use only the rukh available inside of their bodies,
but Magi are not limited and can use the rukh energy all around them limitlessly.
You Magi are loved by the rukh.
Magi are really amazing.
Actually, I have a request for someone as amazing as you are.
What is it?
Would you be willing to help me capture the group of thieves that's causing trouble here?
Wait!
Hold on, Sin.
Do you plan on getting these children involved?
Why not?
Aladdin is a Magi.
He is one touched by destiny and has the appropriate skills for his position.
And also, we don't have a single metal vessel on us right now.
And whose fault is that?
What should we do, Mor?
I wish to travel to the Dark Continent.
If we defeat the Fog Troupe, the ships will be able to sail again, right?
That's why we're here.
We're also here to look for someone.
If we can successfully deal with this situation, could you ask this nation's king for help in our search?
I shall.
What do you think, Aladdin?
We'll do it!
Great! Then let's start planning, Aladdin!
Okay!
Morgiana, you can wait at the hotel.
What?
Even if you are a Fanalis, I couldn't let a lady like you fight.
Come now.
I will fight too.
Sure.
We believe the Fog Troupe's aim is either the wealthy merchant, Aljaris',
or the noble, Haldhub's, mansion.
Why do you say that?
False information has been spread about the movements of the army.
The Fog Troupe appears to have supporters even within the government.
Even within the government...
Yes.
The Fog Troupe is more popular among the people than we imagined.
Excuse me.
If the people support the Fog Troupe, are we really doing the right thing by capturing them?
I think so.
They distribute the money they steal to the people, thereby gaining the people's support.
That's why the people call them chivalrous thieves.
But I think the thieves may only do that to make their crimes seem justifiable.
Or perhaps we are hearing a lot of propaganda.
Well, that's what I've come up with.
This is what I think, and this is what I'll act upon.
You guys should also spend some time thinking this over,
and act according to your conclusions.
That's how I've managed to get this far.
What do you guys think?
The fog has rolled in.
I'm glad the two of you decided to join us.
I'm still not sure what the right thing to do is though.
But I came all this way to see my friend.
I'll do whatever it takes to see him again.
I'll capture these thieves.
Good answer.
Are Sinbad and Masrur the only ones guarding the other mansion?
Do not worry.
Sinbad might seem a little shady, but his title as the high king of the seven seas isn't just for show.
It's so cold at night.
It is.
Stop! Don't move!
Don't use me as a wind breaker.
You two down there!
Stop chattering and take guarding my mansion seriously!
I can't believe the army's so shorthanded that they could only spare the two of you to guard me.
I'm so nervous I can't eat!
He's eating right now.
Must be rich.
Are you all right?
What was that?
I can't produce any milk.
I need food.
If you get in our way, we'll ki-kill you!
Ugh, those dogs from the slums are here.
Here, fetch! Get out of here!
There is no need for you to do this.
The nobles' wealth comes from your taxes.
If you don't feel that they deserve it, then you should take it back.
But do not take lives.
Right.
Are you sure about this?
We only agreed to capture the Fog Troupe.
This country might be doomed already...
What's so funny?
It's just... so funny!
Mister Jafar, we think Mister Sinbad may have been attacked!
It sounds like people are having fun.
Aladdin, don't breathe in any of the mist!
Stay away!
It's the thieves! There's a huge group of them!
What's going on?
They seem to be caught in an illusion.
Did you notice the red mist?
That's not a product of human hands.
It must be strange magic.
Your Sword of Phantasmal Scarlet Fog is as frightening as ever, Zaynab.
Stop talking and start using your Sword of Corroding Golden Fog, Hassan.
Yeah, yeah.
Let's go!
Our target is that fat pig's mansion!
Go wild!
Let go!
Are you part of the army?
No. But for various reasons, I must apprehend you.
Bastard!
Another magical weapon!
That's right. It's the Sword of Shackling Ebon Fog.
Now you can't move a finger.
Kassim!
Let my comrades go.
Our leader and our main force have arrived.
Kassim, heading your way!
A girl?
Mor!
Now's your chance!
Grab the goods and run for it!
I am searching for Alibaba.
In order to find him, I'll-
Ugo!
I won't let you pass!
I-It's no good!
There's no way we can beat that thing!
What's the matter, friend?
Leave this one to me.
Wait...
Ali... baba?

A Broken Promise
Next time: A Broken Promise.
Leave me alone!
This is my problem!
