Um, okay. So, my mom's a
scientist, right? Or, was.

Well, her and a bunch of her
scientist pals wanted to figure
out how this island stayed...

...floating in the air.

Of course, Mom couldn't leave me
alone at home, I am just a kid,
after all.

Right. Blame Kazuma for that,
if you see him again.

...if he's still alive that is.

Anyways, Mom decided to take me
along, even though I was more
content staying at home.

Playing Mario.

I'll get to that soon enough!

So, here I am, on this research
trip that I never wanted to go
on.

Surrounded by so many
scientists...

Saying stuff about how this
study could have been "the most
important study of all time..."

At least I was with Mom and
Kazuma. And Prof. Booster.

And, unfortunately, the
Doctor was there too.

He weaseled his way into the
expedition team as a medical
professional...

You know, tending to wounds
and sick researchers.

He did pretty well!
At least, until he found the
Demon Crown.

That crown, once the property
of the master of this island,

...grants monstrous magical
powers upon its wearer...

The Doctor knew this even
before coming onto the island,

which is why he wormed his way
into our group in the first
place.
