"Actually, I should have realized it much sooner, because every day people on the ship would mysteriously vanish, and the crew members had the same nightmare every night—a bizarre, eerie voice calling to them in their sleep, and a pitch-black giant beast roaring in the abyss," Tachibana Masamune said. "The crew all said it was a monster in the sea mist playing tricks, trying to bewitch people's minds and devour the lost."
"I knew there weren't any monsters in this world, but because I was so thrilled about killing Dr. Herzog, with a crazy and smooth path straight ahead of me, I didn't give the crew's words or their disappearances a second thought," Tachibana Masamune said in a low voice. "If I had noticed earlier, perhaps today's consequences wouldn't have come to pass."
"I should have thought of it sooner..." Tachibana Masamune said with a tone of remorse. "What monsters could there possibly be... Every unknown and taboo creature... is related to the Dragons!"
