“I can hear the waves. And I can smell the tide. Is the ocean nearby?” (Kagali)
As I thought, she might as well be a dog.
Well, I’m not going to tell her that, because she’ll get angry if I do.
“Yeah, well, I guess the ocean is close.” (Yuna)
“You have been vague in your answers since a while ago. Is this a place you don’t want people to know about so badly? I’m not going to tell anyone about it, and even if I did, I wouldn’t be able to come here.” (Kagali)
“Well, I guess.” (Yuna)
Even if she knew, it would be difficult to come here. After all, it’s a moving island.
“Kagali-san, do you know anything about Targui?” (Yuna)
“Targui? I think it is the name of a giant creature in the sea. I know at least that much.” (Kagali)
The legend of Targui seems to be alive and well in the Land of Harmony. As Shia remarked, there are those who knew about it.
“But why did that name come up?” (Kagali)
“Etto, because you’re stepping on that Targui, you know?” (Yuna)
I was a little worried, but I thought it would be fine if it was Kagali-san, so I answered honestly.
“…………”
Kagali-san’s eyes became dots.
“Really?” (Kagali)
“Really.” (Yuna) 𝐛𝗲𝗱𝐧𝗼𝐯𝗲𝗹．𝐧𝐞𝘁
When I said it with a serious expression, Kagali-san’s body launched upwards to the sky.
And after looking around the whole thing from the sky, she floated down.
“We really are on top of Targui.” (Kagali)
Unexpected words came out of Kagali-san’s mouth.
How can she tell that it’s Targui just by looking at it from above?
“By any chance, do you know about Targui? Or rather, have you ever been here?” (Yuna)
Otherwise, just by looking at it, there’s no way to tell that this place is Targui.
“I’ve been living in the Land of Harmony for a long time, and I like to take walks in the sky in my spare time.” (Kagali)
She said she takes walks in the sky.
People normally don’t walk in the sky, you know?
But Fina and I ignored it.
“And during one of my walks in the sky, I discovered a strange island near the Land of Harmony. I thought I knew everything about the surrounding islands. It suddenly appeared. As I tried to explore it, however, the island started to move so I couldn’t investigate it. Then a few years later, it reappeared. At that time, I investigated and found out that it was Targui.” (Kagali)
Come to think of it, the reason I discovered the Land of Harmony was because of Targui.
“But you have done a vulgar thing, building a house on top of Targui.” (Kagali)
Kagali-san said while looking at the bear house.
I heard about Targui from Shia, but I couldn’t come up with anything other than a legendary creature. I guess for those who know about it, perhaps Targui is treated as a divine or a sacred beast, perhaps?
“But the fact that we’re on Targui means you came to the Land of Harmony riding it…” (Kagali)
I nodded.
“What Sakura said, “it came from the sea in my dream”, made sense to me now. And I thought you came on a boat, but she said you came across the sea on a bear.” (Kagali)
“When I was on this island at that time, I saw a land, so I went there and found myself in the Land of Harmony. But I never thought I would get caught up in all that trouble.” (Yuna)
“Fufu, if Targui hadn’t brought you there, the Land of Harmony might have perished. I’m grateful to Targui.” (Kagali)
Kagali-san laughed.
“Well, Kagali-san, I understand why you know about Targui. So, because of that reason, I would appreciate it if you don’t tell anyone else about it. Especially Shinobu.” (Yuna)
“Yeah, I know. Besides, it’s not an easy thing to talk about.” (Kagali)
“It’s just for confirmation, but is it okay to stay on top of this?” (Yuna)
“Well, I’m sure it’s alright because I’ve been up here before and nothing happened to me. Besides, if anything should happen, we can escape through your door.” (Kagali)
Certainly, if a wyvern attacks like before, all we have to do is run away.
“Then, Kagali-san, do you know about Kryna-Hark?” (Yuna)
“I haven’t heard of this name for a long time. If you’re asking if I know him, then yeah.” (Kagali)
I asked about the stone monument, but she interpreted the question differently.
“Have you perhaps met him before?” (Yuna)
Kagali-san ponders about my question.
“Hmm, it’s a secret. Rather than that, let’s go pick some fruit. Come on.” (Kagali)
