Episode Title:
Before We Depart.
Episode Description:
Jil barely escapes from the scene of the king's assassination thanks to the quick-wit of Neeba. The next day, the review of troops by the king goes on as scheduled. At the ceremony, Jil is dumbstruck, because before him is none other than Gilgamesh, who he saw murdered the night before. Neeba is aware that Pazuzu was behind this plot of assassination. Meanwhile in the city of Meskia, a giant slime monster suddenly falls from the sky and causes havoc. A young girl named Coopa is enveloped by the slime but is quickly rescued by Ahmey. When Coopa learns that Jil and the others are climbers, she insists on allowing herself and her mage master Melt to join their party. Though they are mistakenly arrested for treason, Kaaya convinces the king to release Jil and company from prison.
