## Chapter

- release_date: 2025-03-08

### Summary
Following the heroic death of their legendary harpooner father, Teon Ma, siblings Bota and Lita continue their journey to the floating city of Busan Union with their guardian, Kana. Their primary mission is to seek a cure for Lita's leviathan-induced mutation, contracted during a battle with the sea demon Genod. Recent events appear to have brought them into contact with civilization's bureaucracy, as they interact with a public official. Contrary to reader expectations of a corrupt or antagonistic figure, this official, despite a rough exterior, has proven to be surprisingly honest and helpful, offering the siblings advice and not exploiting them financially. This encounter introduces a new challenge for the protagonists: navigating a society driven by money, a concept foreign to their previous survivalist lifestyle. While this new character has been well-received, reader focus remains fixed on a key unresolved plot point from the previous chapter: the location of Teon Ma's weapon, with many expressing a strong desire for Bota to recover his father's sword.
