Chapter 2-2

== Minori ==
The following morning Minori wakes up in the cottage he was directed to sleep in by Zade. He leaves and finds Zade and Mizu discussing together. He learns that Mizu plans to stay to protect the village from possible Eritomoru attacks and urges Minori to do the same. Minori suggests he delivers the news to Rin.
Minori approaches Rin's cottage and a half-naked Zeta answers (Rin's Protector). Rin is at breakfast, she tells him, so he quickly approaches the dining halls. The two enjoy breakfast together and decide to follow Mizu's plan to stay in the Launch. As the sun reaches noon a speech is held to inform the public about their extended stay but opt out of telling them of the threat. Journalists leave the Launch like mayflies to spread the news across Yatan.
Hours later Zade invites the officials to a feast to get to know each other better if they are to be working with one another so closely. Mizu informs them that he has sent his soldiers home so he may get the Shio Navy to protect the village. Until then, they will be staying.
