This was a picture that you took right after we finished our test drive of the new Nautilus.
The ship gained a purpose that was worth fighting for.
The crew was blessed with the adventure they had longed for.
And the captain met a Master.
A character taken from a fictional novel. A child of the sea god who only existed in a snippet of mythology. What was born, after combining these two, resulted in me becoming not a Heroic Spirit, but a Phantom Spirit. And quite honestly, I didn't have much confidence to fulfill the duties as captain, nor I didn't have that much of a desire to save the world.
Yet I still wanted to go on a voyage. I wanted to go on a heart-pounding adventure. It wasn't just the readers who longed for a man of faith who was also eccentric, mysterious, and scary.
And the reason why I, as this fragmentary Phantom Spirit, started to get serious was when I met the protagonist, who was just as incomplete, helpless, and they wouldn't be able to get by unless someone had to take care of them.
Adventures test and cultivate anyone equally. And we realized that upon our summoning.
The ship had gained a purpose that was worth fighting for.
The crew was blessed with the adventure they had longed for.
And the captain met a Master.
This was a picture that commemorated that moment.
It's a great memory of when we set sail that I still hold dear in my heart.
And as long as I have this memory, I, Captain Nemo, will continue to protect your travels until the very end.
This is the thing taken by you after a test run of the new Nautilus.
The war ship gained a purpose to fight, the sailors abounded in the adventure of their heart's desire, the Captain made an acquaintance with a lone Master.
The character of a fictional novel and the young of a Sea God that only existed in a corner of legends.
What born from those two is not a Heroic Spirit but a Phantom Spirit, and honestly speaking, I didn't have much in terms of the confidence to work as the Captain nor the enthusiasm to save the world.
However, I wanted to go on a voyage.
I wanted to go on an adventure that would make my heart fire up.
You can say that the one who longed for a person of faith who is also obstinate, enigmatic, and frigtening is not just the readers.
The reason this kind of half-hearted Phantom Spirit became interested in "that" is because I had found a master who is even more half-hearted, unreliable, and can't help but being a bother to everyone than me.
An adventure would give everyone equal trial and growth. We realized that fact in this summoning.
The war ship gained a purpose to fight, the sailors abounded in the adventure of their heart's desire, the Captain made an acquaintance with a lone Master.
This is the commemorative photo of that time.
A glorious memory of the set sail that remains in my heart, even now.
For as long as this memory exists, Captain Nemo will continue to defend your journey until the very end.
