Episode 4: Making names in cities

--Intro--

"Episode four: Making names in cities!"

The boat rocked gently on the calm ocean waters as Shikoku stood near the mast, his hand holding onto the sturdy pillar. Karimoto sat with his signature cool demeanor, leaning against a wall, while Aria gazed out at the vast expanse of the sea, her blue hair blowing in the wind.

Denli, his enthusiasm uncontainable, ran around the boat, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "This is so cool!" he exclaimed, his voice filled with pure joy.

With boundless energy, Denli decided to explore further. He climbed the stairs to the higher levels of the boat, his anticipation building. As he reached the top, he couldn't contain his excitement and jumped into the air, ending up falling down and landing on his head next to Karimoto.

Karimoto, with a mix of exasperation and slight amusement, called out, "Watch out, you idiot!"

Aria couldn't help but chuckle at Denli's antics. "Be careful up there, Denli!"

Meanwhile, Hiroto remained hidden, observing the group from a distance.He had a plan of his own, and for now, he chose to watch and bide his time.

After Denli rubs his head from the fall, he turned to Karimoto with a playful grin. "Hey, Karimoto, do you like curry? 'Cause 'Kari' sounds like curry!" He burst into laughter, finding his own joke incredibly amusing.

Aria couldn't help but join in the laughter, her cheerful giggles filling the air. Even Shikoku, who rarely showed such lightheartedness as this, chuckled a bit at the silliness of the joke.

Karimoto, initially raising an eyebrow at Denli's joke and furrowed his brow. "Why you..." he said but couldn't resist the infectious laughter, and he grew a small smile.

Meanwhile, Hiroto, who had been watching from a distance, couldn't help but laugh along too, exposing his hiding. The four looked to his direction Shikoku commented with a shake of his head, "It's always smart to stay in school, but Hiroto, your stealth skills and determination were a different kind of strength."

Denli, happy to see Hiroto, didn't hesitate. He ran over to his friend and enveloped him in a tight hug, expressing his joy at their unexpected reunion. Karimoto nodded in acknowledgment, and Aria waved to Hiroto, her warm smile conveying her happiness at their friend's presence.

The boat continued on its journey, Shikoku-Sensei demonstrated his expertise with various aspects of sailing and navigation, handling the boat with a skill that spoke of his water-based training. His abilities extended to the sea, a testament to his knowledge from the Water School and his mastery of magic.

In the distance, they spotted a massive island on the horizon, its skyline dotted with towering buildings. It was known as the City of Timing, a place of intrigue and mystery. Shikoku leaned against the boat's railing, his gaze fixed on the island.

"That's the City of Timing," Shikoku explained, his voice carrying a hint of gravitas. "It's where Kobaryoto, the clock watch emperor, is currently trying to rule, as of a few months ago."

Aria's memory stirred as she recalled the mention of Kobaryoto, the enigmatic time villain who reminded her of a character she had mentioned earlier. She nodded, her brow furrowed in thought.

As their boat drew closer to the island, the scene unfolded before them. The City of Timing was a sight to behold, a sprawling metropolis with towering clock towers that reached into the sky. The buildings were a mix of architectural styles, combining the traditional and the fantastical. Gears and clockwork mechanisms adorned the structures, giving the city a unique and steampunk-like appearance.
