Nadia Vol 4,1:
Four Short Summaries
"The Secret of Blue Water" is the adventures of Nadia, a mysterious
circus girl, and Jean, an inventive boy, with jewel thieves, Captain
Nemo of the Nautilus, a world-domination-seeking secret society, and
more. I have a set of color manga that was made from the anime series
which I will be translating here bit-by-bit. This is part 1 of volume
4, with four short episode summaries.
You may prefer the
version with Japanese.

Jean's New Invention
Chapter 17 is the story of how Jean gets over his father's death and is
growing up.
In order to avenge his father, Jean asks to become an a official member of
the crew of the Nautilus. However, his request is not granted. Nemo says
that it is enough that he and his crew bloody their hands.
Jean feels sad, so he takes up the challenge of getting into the air
once again. After much trial and error, he completes an autogyro.
Jean, once he had taken off and given Nadia a ride, made a decision to
study society and the adult world, not just science.

Jean, encouraged by Nadia, launches into a new invention.
This was a flying machine, an "autogyro."
"Fly!" he said, when he finally finished it and began testing.
The autogyro is flying with Nadia and Jean riding on it.
The test was a success! Jean started smiling again.
