Rocking the Boat
The next day, Lina teleported to the beach in order to pick up Nina. They two of them were going to talk about magic at the café in Polpota. Nina, like most Sirens, was a strong sorceress. So they decided to compare and contrast the spells in their arsenal.
After teleporting to the harbor, they went to the café. There, they saw Gilbert sitting at a table and playing his guitar. When he looked back, he was shocked.
"Oh, a Siren. How much like Mina you are," he said.
Nina replied, "I'm her cousin. I'm guessing that you are Gilbert, her old boyfriend. My name is Nina, it is nice to meet you."
Gilbert's heart began to beat quickly. "My dear, you are the most beautiful creature I've ever seen. Please allow me to treat you to dinner."
"No thank you," Nina told him, "I have to go home." With that, she flew off to teleport back to her home at the beach.

Lina followed her back home, only to see Mina and Dies talking with Nina. "You should just avoid him. He's just looking for a good time," Dies warned.
Nina replied, "But he isn't a bad person, he's just a bit eccentric."
"Amen to that," Mina echoed.
Suddenly, they heard Gilbert singing outside. Everyone began to wonder how he figured out where Nina lived. When the singing stopped, he called, "Nina my love, come outside for a bit. I want to talk to you."
Nina sighed. "He won't shut up," she said, "I might as well go see him now. Besides, I might find myself a nice romance in the works." Then she went outside and Lina followed.
The two of them talked as they watched the horizon. Suddenly Gilbert saw a ship not far off, and decided to go there. Although Nina was reluctant, she went anyway, mentally vowing not to sing a note while on it.

"I'm home Gourry," Lina yelled. He came right downstairs to see her.
"How was your visit with Nina?" Gourry asked.
Lina answered, "She went to a ship with Gilbert. It looks like a romance in the making. Let's go see what's going on."
Gourry didn't ask any questions. He just followed Lina outside. Then she teleported them to the ship - - which turned out to belong to the pirates.
* * *
When they came, they saw Nina telling Gilbert why she couldn't sing while on the ship. Gilbert was arguing with her, telling her that it was her nature and she can't help it if ships sink. Nina thought how much like Mina he was sounding.
After getting bored, Lina went to talk with the Captain. But while there, she heard him discussing a plan to sell Nina and Gilbert to a circus. Shocked by this statement, Lina immediately ran to warn the two of them of these matters.
When she arrived, she saw Gilbert unconscious, and Nina flying in the air. She was getting mad at them for this. 'Here it comes, if my guess is correct, she's going to cast a destructive spell on them at any time now,' Lina thought.
But instead of casting a spell, Nina began to sing. The pirates began to freak out as destruction reigned all over the ship. Parts of the engine began to explode, and the mast came down.
Suddenly, a giant whale monster attacked the ship. Lina and Gourry ran up to the deck and began to fight. As Gourry slashed with Dragon's Breath, Lina began to charge up. She then yelled, "Digger Volt." Since water monsters are weak against thunder, it fell instantly.
* * *
The pirates surrounded Nina and began to blame her for the destruction that had been caused. Nina told them, "Well, I wouldn't have had to do that if you'd just left Gilbert alone."
At that time, Capt'n Tusk came down the stairs. "You buffoons," he yelled, "You can't destroy a ship by just singing. Go on lass, sing to your heart's content."
Again Nina began to sing, and again things began to break. As the pirates freaked out again, their captain stayed calm. "You morons know this happens everyday," he reminded them. "Oh," they all chorused, "That's right."
* * *
"Thank you, I had a great time. But you're not the type of guy I'm looking for in a committed relationship," Nina confessed.
Gilbert replied, "I'm sorry to hear that. If you ever change your mind, you know where to find me my sweet Siren." Then he walked off.
Nina sighed. "Well, I better get home. At least now I've figured out that it isn't my fault that the ship sank. If those soldiers hadn't allowed themselves to fall asleep as I sang, the ship would still be in the water today."
Lina smiled. Then she and Gourry returned home. They arrived right before dinner. So they all had a nice big meal out of the food that they'd grown or hunted. After that, they spent a quiet night around the house, and went to bed.

Well, another mystery solved. I also added the rules of RPG magic. Usually electric attacks beat water, water cools fire, fire melts ice, earth can't hit flying enemies, wind hits earth hard, ect. It comes in handy when trying to find a spell for Lina to use. And everyone teleports because they all got those lamps from Mina too. Much easier than making a longer timeline so they can travel to a place that's a week away from home.
