Chapter 364
[Still, this is a really beautiful place . ] Shia
Walking along the coast of the island . Surprisingly, there is little vegetation and it is easy to walk . There are also places where you can go inside the island . Not everything seems to be covered with vegetation .
As Shia said, the view is good and beautiful as you look far away . However, when I look under the cliff, the whirlpools are spinning, so I feel a bit scared . But there is no sense of discomfort even if it is said to be the boundary between heaven and hell .
My biggest worry is whether Fina and the others will fall . Both Fina and Shuri followed my instructions and they’re riding on Swaying Bear and Hugging Bear, so there is no need to worry about them .
Looking at Shuri, I can see that one of the two apples I picked up earlier is in Hugging Bear’s mouth . The other apple is being held in her small hand and she’s munching on it deliciously .
[Hugging Bear-chan it’s delicious, right?] Shuri
<Kuu-n . >
If the fruit looks this good, then it might be a good idea to set up a bear gate so I can pick it up at any time .
And if you keep walking a little further, you will find a banana tree . I didn’t think there was even a banana here . However, the banana was green and was unlikely to be eaten immediately . I want to come to pick it up next time . (TC: FYI to Yuna, there’s a type of banana that comes in green color even blue and it’s ripe . )
I see the vegetation growing around me again .
Well, I thought it was strange to walk around here . But then, this island is strange in many ways .
[Yuna-san . Isn’t there something wrong with this island?] Shia
[You think so too, Shia?] Yuna
There are fruits and plants growing here regardless of region or season . That’s a palm tree, isn’t it? It feels like there are plants from around the world on a small island . If the island is moving around the world, there is a good chance that birds will carry seeds .
But it will be a different story if it just spurts up .
[I can’t say for sure because I just saw it in the picture book back at the school, but the plants from different regions are growing on this island . ] Shia
[You’re right . ] Yuna
I nod to Shia’s words .
At first, I was happy to have Orens and apples, but I don’t think there are bananas or palm trees as well . No matter how many places this moving island went to, it is impossible for the plants found in different environments to grow here .
Did we come to a strange island perhaps?
For the time being, I checked it with my detection skill, but there is no reaction from any monster . Maybe I’m just thinking about it too much, well that’s fine .
[Is it really that strange?] Fina
Fina asks as if she doesn’t notice what’s wrong .
[That’s right . It’s strange that that tree is near the apple tree . ] Yuna
I pointed at the banana tree
[Plants grow differently depending on the area . Of course, there are things that are growing in the same environment, but there are also things that grow specifically in that area . ] Shia
[I see . I didn’t know . ] Fina
Well, she didn’t go to school and I’m sure there are plants that she’s seeing for the first time, so it can’t be helped that she didn’t know it .
[I only knew about it at school, so you should not be ashamed . ] Shia
Then, while checking the surroundings, we make a half-lap around the island .
After about half a lap around the island, we reached an open area . There is no reaction from monsters so far . It seems that there are no monsters on this island . We haven’t come across any animals either .
[U wa~a, it’s beautiful . ] Shia
We’re at a little elevated spot and we can see the horizon . That’s pretty . The empty sea continues .
[The sea continues forever] Fina
Fina spreads her hands and takes a deep breath . Shuri imitates her .
[Yuna-oneechan . What’s beyond of this sea?] Shuri
[Well, I don’t know because I’ve never been there . But I think there will be land if you go all the way, and I think there are strangers living there . ] Yuna
[I wanna see it . ] Shuri
[Me too~] Fina
[Yeah . I also want to see it someday . ] Yuna
Someday I want to go to another continent . I wonder if I will find the country of Harmony and Peace if I go from here .
But it’s a hassle to ride on a ship for days .
After getting off of the hill and trying to go around the other half, Fina found something .
[Yuna-oneesan, what’s that?] Fina
There is an unnaturally large stone at the spot where Fina is pointing . When Fina descends from Swaying Bear, she approaches the large stone .
[Yuna-oneesan . There are letters written on this stone . ] Fina
We run up to Fina after hearing her say that .
[Is this a stone monument?] Yuna
Letters are engraved on the stone monument that was taller than me .
