Chapter 364
364 Bear-san is Taking A Walk on the Island (Day 4)
[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 h.e.l.l .
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
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 ha.s.sle 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 .
For a moment, I thought it was someone’s grave, but it seems different . The stone monument may have been left unattended for a long time and it’s slightly dirty . I used water magic to clean the stone monument .
Etto, what’s written on it?
〈〈I say to those who came to this island . I Pray that those who have come to know this island are not malicious . If anyone happens to come to the island, leave before the island starts moving . 〉〉
What does it mean? Malicious people? How do you know when the island will move?
[…Kryna-Hark . ] Shia
(TN: Anyone got a better name?「クリュナ＝ハルク」[Kuryuna – Haruku] . Dunno the gender either . )
When I try to read more, Shia was surprised to see the letters at the bottom .
[What’s wrong?] Yuna
[The name Kryna-Hark, right here . ] Shia
Shia points to the place where the name is written .
[Who?] Yuna
[Yuna-san, you don’t know!?] Shia
Yeah, I don’t know since I’m from another world . Perhaps a super celebrity and it’s bad that I don’t know? I look towards Fina and Shuri .
[I don’t know . ] Fina
[Dunno . ] Shuri
That’s good . I have two comrades who didn’t know as well .
Apparently, it’s not a very famous name . From the point of view of Shia, I thought it was a name that everyone knows . If it was a celebrity that everyone knew, I might have been suspicious .
[Eh ~~, don’t you three know? It’s Kryna-Hark . Kryna-Hark!] Shia
Even if you keep repeating that name many times, I don’t know what I don’t know . Whether it’s a historical figure or a celebrity who is alive today, it’s not in my knowledge for another world history of the past few months .
[So who is this, Hark-or-whatever?] Yuna
[It’s Kryna-Hark . An A rank adventurer and very famous among adventurers . ] Shia
Shia says with all her might, but I still don’t know what I don’t know .
[I’m sorry, I don’t know . ] Yuna
[Yes, I don’t know . ] Fina
[I don’t know . ] Shuri
Shia got depressed after being told by three people .
[I thought every adventurer knew . ] Shia
[So, is that Kryna-Hark person famous?] Yuna
[Yes . Some adventurers are aiming for him, and it’s written in school textbooks . ]
[Some adventurers?] Yuna
[If anything, he’s famous as an adventurer . He goes to dangerous areas and places where no one goes . He discovers plants that no one knows or defeat monsters that no one has seen before . He’s a great person . Thanks to him, I’ve learned a lot of new facts . ] Shia
Shia explains with excitement .
Kryna-Hark was such a famous person it seems .
[In other words, this stone monument was made by an adventurer named Kruna-Hulk?] Yuna
[If no one duped the name of Kruna-Hulk, then I think so . ] Shia
[Well, you don’t have to fool yourself on such an island where no one is likely to come, so it’s more likely to be real . ] Yuna
I will read the continuation of the words on the stone monument .
〈〈If anyone who knows about this land when it appears, I believe that he is in good faith . Touch the stone monument, those who have good intentions, and pour magical power into it . However, those with malicious intent are not allowed to touch it . 〉〉
And finally, the name is engraved . I tried to touch it and pour in my magical power, but then, (peta peta) Shia frantically touched the stone monument . Multiple times .
[What are you doing?] Yuna
[Etto, because it says, touch the monument those who have good intentions . But there is no reaction . ] Shia
And then, (peta peta) Shuri is also touching it, imitating how Shia touched the stone monument .
[Shia, looks like you’re malicious, aren’t you?] Yuna
[Yuna-san that’s terrible . ] Shia
[Yuna-oneechan . I’m not a bad girl ~] Shuri
Even though only I told Shia that, Shuri also puffed her cheeks .
[It’s a joke . Aren’t you lacking in magical power part?] Yuna
It was written, 〈〈pour magical power into it〉〉 .
I touched the stone monument on behalf of the two . And tried to pour in my magical power . Then the stone monument began to shine .
[It’s so bright . ] Shia
[U~u, it’s too bright~] Shuri
[Shuri!] Fina
Everyone closed their eyes and couldn’t see anything . Fina hid Shuri on her back . I also blocked my view with my bear puppet . And then, the light gradually disappears . When I opened my eyes and looked at the stone monument, a book came out of the stone monument . And then, the book slowly moves towards me, it fell on my bear puppet .
A book from the stone monument?
[Yuna-san, are you okay? And what’s with that book?] Shia
[It came out of the stone monument . ] Yuna
This is definitely a different world and I am surprised by the occasional unexpected event .
[Yuna-san . Maybe it’s a book of Kryna-Hark!] Shia
[What’s that?] Yuna
[It’s a book about the adventures of Kryna-Hark . It’s a book that is also trusted as rare knowledge . ] Shia
It looks like a rare book that seems to appear in the game .
[I’m impressed that such a book is here . Yuna-san, please show me . ] Yuna
She’s staring at the book with a momentum that would jump at me at any moment .
[I also want to see~] Shuri
[I want to see it too . ] Fina
I opened the book so that everyone can see it . Etto, .
I don’t know how to judge people and when a person says that they have good intentions, it makes me cringe . Am I one of those who have good faith? I’m a pile of different personalities myself . Isn’t there a mistake in the criterion for good faith somewhere?
When I try to read more, everyone came up with unexpected words .
[It’s pure white . ] Shuri
[There’s nothing written on it . ] Fina
[Etto, isn’t this supposed to be Kryna-Hark’s book!] Shia
[What are you talking about, it’s written properly, you know?] Yuna
[Well, it’s pure white and there’s nothing written on it . Isn’t that right, Fina-chan, Shuri-chan . ] Shia
Shia asked the two for confirmation .
[Yes, there’s nothing written . ] Fina
[Yeah, there’s nothing written . ] Shuri
Apparently, everyone really can’t see the words in the book .
[It fits in Kryna-Hark’s book . Apparently, only I can see it . ] Yuna
Does that mean that magical power has something to do with it?
[Is that so? U u~u, too bad I can’t read Kryna-Hark’s book . Yuna-san, what does the book say?] Shia
I lightly flip the page of the book and read it .
[Apparently, it says Kryna-Hark’s exploration and investigation of the island . ] Yuna
Perhaps the mystery of this island is also written here?
