Title is something like "A guest of death at dusk".
As Griffith watches Rickert go off, he tells Charlotte, Sonia and Mule "it seems I've been rejected." Locus crushes a balcony in anger while Silat spies on the scene from outside of the building. Back to his quarters with Luca and the others, Rickert is fixing stuff up as usual. Among other things, he tinkers a machine to extinguish fires for someone from a sort of Youth Militia, youngsters who aren't soldiers but act as helpful citizens when the need arises.
Rickert is impressed that there are many technological advances in Falconia. Waterways, bathing places, public toilets, roads... He reflects on the fact that "if this city is the city of legend, the advances of civilization and technology are at the top, better than any other country". Luca tells him "But you're the one who's great because you revive them! Because you're so good with your ability, you can find a good job. Especially in this city, where artisans are in high demand. Not to mention that you're also an ex-member of the Band of the Falcon".
The girls comment on the fact he's got a connexion to Griffith and might be a friend of his. They try to seduce him, but Erica is pissed off and repels them. Rickert comments: "But... I can't stay here."
Luca asks him what happened, and he tells them that he hit Griffith. Luca comments that it's not a thing he can tell others. The girls immediately change their attitudes upon learning what happened, telling him to please forget their earlier talk.
Luca tries to downplay it, saying "it's a thing between men, and between comrades in arms... It's common to fight..."
Rickert replies that it's rather, because he was a comrade...
Rickert thinks to himself: "if this city has been built on the cemetery of my comrade in arms, I can't stay here comfortably, even if this is a utopia."
Luca keeps it real: "Well, it's between men. But what will you do with this girl? Take her with you again, in the wilderness where monsters appear?"
Erica: "I...will definitely follow him, he's my family."
Luca gets into a grand speech: "In life, sometimes you get somebody precious. But whether it's somebody who is with you or somebody who already left you, somebody close or somebody you walked away from... No matter what you choose, there's always regret. But at least you shouldn't make excuses to yourself."
The girls are fawning: "Ah you are great Luca. Don't you regret about Jerome?"
Luca: "His wife is too fierce. I couldn't fool her, and I'm not that type of woman."
Another girl who'd been working all the while: "Hey you lazy people, come and help us."
Luca to Rickert: "You don't have to hurry, think on it well."
Daiba: "Being young is good."
Rickert, upon seeing the scale of things in Falconia: "It's huge... This energy... All the people here are so intent on things. Everybody is committed and driven. I think whoever lives in this city will be like them. This is falconia, the city of Griffith."
He's thinking about what Luca said to him... Then comments to himself, facing the city: "Family... I also had one..."
Someone replies : "Ah, that's too bad..."
Rickert: "Darkness?"
Rakshas: "Separation with your family, it's so hard and lonely, but you don't have to worry."
Rakshas: "Even if you disappear, your family will be taken good care of under the protection of the Falcon in this city."
Rakshas: "Your family will live without any problem."
Rakshas: "So, please go without having any regrets."
Silat: "Is it the order of the Falcon himself, or is it a trick of that knight, Locus or whatever? Anyway, that boy seems to know the secret of the Falcon..."
Things are getting really interesting now.
The statue could very well be Gaiseric,quite symbolic that it's headless.

Isma was quite useful. It's obvious that the pirates will die when the Sea God is beaten, and I don't find this continuous "attack and retreat" a boring waste of time. They're not even characters anymore, just some of those tentacles. Surely I don't find them funny, but that's not even a major flaw since I love Puck and co's comic relief.
And now let's see the true form of the Sea God.
