As the two joined, the town's festivities reached their peak.
At twilight, a slightly tipsy Wu Chang received a message from his True Self that Ernst wanted to see him.
His True Self went to the cliff behind Sea Bird Mountain to meet with Ernst who was lurking there.
Before Wu Chang could speak, Ernst quickly said:
"Sir, I just remembered something important."
"When Da Gang asked us to intercept the Ogre Kingdom's fleet, he issued an order to ensure, at any cost, that the fleet could not approach here before the designated date."
Wu Chang frowned slightly and asked, "What day is the designated date?"
Ernst confirmed, "Today."
Wu Chang hissed, feeling exasperated. Good heavens, typical fish-headed human, perfectly inherited the memory of a fish. If you'd remembered a few hours later, there'd be no point in remembering.
He asked, "Did Da Gang give a reason?"
Ernst said, "No. It concerns the will of the Lord, Da Gang never explains the reasons to us."
