   Summary

   Ce n’est pas la mer à boire.

   Literal Translation: “It’s not as if you have to drink the sea.”

   A French saying that essentially means “It’s not that hard or difficult.”

    

   (Adrien has been absent from school for five days when Chloé comes to her. “I need your help,” she says, and that’s how Marinette knows that something is terribly, terribly wrong.)
