Yako said to Purple Cat, "I'll handle this. Pretend you don't know a thing, and absolutely do not tell anyone—not even Captain Yellow Dog. Purple Cat, keep probing the corpse's brain for intel. Find the secret signal to make contact with Fuguki Suikazan."

"Understood!"
Yako took off his own mask and swapped it for a Root mask.
He said, "Hakuyo, put on the mask from the other corpse and wait for me on the shore. Purple Cat, hide further away and do not expose yourself. I'm heading out onto the sea to complete Captain Yellow Dog's arrangements."
