�Oh really!�Why are you so interested in other people�s private lives?�

Ryan abruptly cut off his words.�He might not know about anyone else, but he never wanted to let Shirone know about it.

But thanks to that, the atmosphere got better and everyone else talked about their school life.�Even though they were in different fields, they were all students, so the conversation continued uninterrupted.

So they got to know each other.

Arriving at Creas Harbor, Sirone and his party found a ship to Galliant Island.

The large Galeas moored at Dock 6 was unfurling its sails as if it had finished preparing for departure.

Because all schools in the kingdom were on vacation at the same time, there were more tourists than usual.�Cirone climbed onto the boat as if being swept away by the crowd and took her seat on the third floor deck.�

There is a passenger room downstairs, but it was my first time on a boat, so it was fun to go and see the scenery.

The waves crashed and a salty wind blew.�It was only after the port was submerged below the horizon that the party realized that they were floating on the sea.

�How many hours will it take?�

�I heard it�s a five-hour boat ride from Creas Harbor.�

�I see.�If it was a little late, we could have left tomorrow.�There are more people going to the island than I thought.�

As Sirone said, there were many people on the deck.�Half of them were merchants, but there were also tourists dressed as aristocrats.�Also, there were quite a few people from other places other than Creas.

�As Lian said, it must be a famous island.�What kind of place is it?�

�I did my research and brought it back.�

As if Amy had been waiting, she took out her notebook.�Tess, who had become friends with everyone by now, spoke openly.

�Ohh?�As expected, meticulous personality.�

�I know.�I never thought to look for it.�

As Sirone scratched his head shyly, Amy glared at him disapprovingly.

�You said you were exploring the ruins, but didn�t you do your research beforehand?�

�haha!�no, that�s����.�

There are two kinds of travelers in the world.�People who leave recklessly and people who investigate carefully and leave.

The former could be said to be about unknown romance and the latter to be efficient, but Amy belonged to the latter.

But Sirone couldn�t belong anywhere.�It was my first trip since I was born, so everything was amazing and unfamiliar.

�First, let me tell you about Galliant Island, where we are going.�The site area is 1,500 square kilometers.�It�s a half-moon-shaped island, and the north is a natural cliff, so ships will have to return to the southern port.�The west side is a mix of residential and resort areas, and the Kergo ruins are on the eastern side of the island.�The Kergo Ruins are said to be the temple of Kergoin, who established civilization 2,000 years ago.�

�Kergoin?�

�huh.�Although now extinct, a small number of natives remain in the autonomous district in the center of the island.�It is dark and short, but it is characterized by sunken eyes and small pupils.�Oh, and he has tattoos praising Ankera on his face.�

�What is Ankera?�

�It is the name of an ancient god that Kergoin believes in.�And um����Aboriginal people chew on the hard root of a tree called loop, which seems to have hallucinogenic effects.�That�s why they call loops the god�s stimulant.�I was in a trance state.�It is said that the cause of the destruction was religious conflict, but some say that the loop was overused and internal conflicts arose.� JrNovels.com
