Fukui Prefecture, Wakasa Bay –

On the first passenger ship to go to sea this morning, Gao Yuan was standing on the deck at the bow of the ship, feeling a little relaxed.

Feeling the breath of the sea, Takato took a deep breath and experienced a moist feeling that can only be found in the rainy season. A seagull passed overhead, and soon turned into a black dot and disappeared. The sea breeze on his cheeks seemed to take away all his worries - fortunately, he didn't get seasick.

Thinking like this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

Yesterday, after solving the incident of Masahiro Komura, he immediately rushed to Fukui Prefecture overnight, and took the earliest cruise ship early this morning, ready to go to the island of America.

Such a hurried itinerary couldn't help but make me feel very anxious for a while, and at this moment, it was rare to have a quiet time on the ship, Gao Yuan just wanted to put aside all the problems and just wait quietly.

However, Gao Yuan knew that this was impossible.

On this trip, Gao Yuan has two things to solve: the first is to help Black Feather Kuaidou investigate the whereabouts of the "red-faced mermaid"; The second is because of the letter from Furukawa Yuki, I need to find Nakagawa Dazang to see if I can ask for any information from him.

Among them, the second question is very important to yourself.

In addition to trying to figure out the unreasonable behavior of the brothers and sisters of the Nakagawa family, I really want to find out who the person who sent me the letter in the name of Furukawa Yuki is.

Although I have passed the review of the "Wheel of Fortune" and know that I am not being targeted by the organization, I always feel uneasy when I suddenly send a letter to myself in the name of an organization member, and I don't understand what the other party's purpose is.

However, because I was in a hurry and chose to travel overnight, I didn't really have much careful understanding of a series of information about the American island now, and it seems that everything has to wait for the island to be explored slowly.

Moreover, yesterday's settlement panel, the "S" level of additional rewards that I finally obtained, I haven't figured out what to choose.

Although in the case of Masahiro Komura, there is obviously a character named "Yu Fujii" who is suspected of being Nakagawa Daizang, but when this incident was closed, he actually gave himself three "S" evaluations, is it possible to find that the existence of this person is perfect?

However, because of the additional bounty of 50 attached to this event, and now the number of your bounty has come to 420, the question now is how to choose the reward:

"Reward 1: Professional Knowledge"

[Reward 2: One-Time Item"

"Reward 3: Sword"

Not surprisingly, "Expertise" and "One-Time Items" are still in the rewards, but what about this "Sword" with a distinctly different name?

I thought it was a reward named after twenty-two large Arcana tarot cards, but now even the small Arcana cards have appeared, which is also the reason why I am entangled in the options.

The first two are supposed to be the reward of twenty-two large Arcanaro cards, although it is not known what they refer to; And the new "sword", although I know what cards, but theoretically there should be fourteen swords.

Looking at the outline of the island that could gradually be seen in the direction of the passenger ship, Gao Yuan thought about it, or not make a choice first, after all, it is important to go to the island first to investigate, and as far as the reward is concerned, there are actually few that can be used in the current one.

Soon, the passenger ship docked at the pier on the island of America.

When he came to the island, Takato began to think about where he should go to ask for news now.

Following the flow of people, Takato came to a shopping street selling local souvenirs. Seeing that there are many tourists shopping here, Gao Yuan has the illusion that he is not coming to a remote island, but more like he is in a shopping street in a big city.

Somewhat curious, Gao Yuan walked into a souvenir shop on the corner of the street and took a casual look.

Looking at the goods here, there are amulets with mermaids depicted, suspenders with mermaid models, and pies with mermaids painted on the cover.

Almost all of the items are related to mermaids, which makes Gao Yuan a little curious.

At this time, a female clerk in her twenties wearing an apron, short brown hair, and a pair of glasses walked up to Gao Yuan's side and said, "Excuse me, has the customer seen anything?" ”

"No ......"

Seeing that a clerk was talking to him, Gao Yuan felt a little rude to his subconscious refusal, so he changed his words, "Well, may I ask, why is everything in the store related to mermaids?" ”

Hearing Gao Yuan's question, the clerk woman covered her mouth and laughed as if she had heard something interesting.

"This guest, you should know what our island is famous for when you come to our island at this time, right?"

Asked rhetorically, the woman said.

Gao Yuan shook his head and said with some embarrassment: "That, I'm sorry." Actually, I came to the island to find people, so I don't know much about the island. ”

"Huh? That's right. ”

Stopping her laughter, the woman said, "Who are you looking for?" Are you a resident of this island? If so, I can help you. ”

"It's not."

"It's a friend of mine, and he seems to have come to this island a few days ago. Because I was anxious to find him, I followed. ”

"Well, it's someone from outside the island, so it's a bit of a problem."

The woman said, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "By the way, I know that I may be able to find news of your friend somewhere, but I still have to help the store, so I can't take you there." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the goods on the side.

Seeing this, Gao Yuan knew what the clerk meant, and was a little helpless, so he chose to buy some local products here, and then, the clerk said hello to the owner of the store with some joy, and walked to the high place of the island with Gao Yuan.

"By the way, judging by the guest, you should still be in college. Why, this time I came here to chase my girlfriend, right? ”

On the way, the clerk casually asked about Gao Yuan.

"No, it's not."

Slightly embarrassed, Gao Yuan explained. This made Gao Yuan a little confused, although the clerk was quite beautiful, but asking this kind of thing so directly, there was always a feeling of being asked by the elders.

But with the inquiries of the clerk's various questions, the two of them also knew their respective names, the clerk knew Takato's name, and Takato also knew, the clerk's name was Saori Kadowaki.

Soon, Saori Kadowaki took Takato to the American Island Shrine in the mountains, and under the leadership of Saori Kadowaki, he came straight to a woman standing in the square in a witch costume with long black hair, this is a beautiful woman who looks the same age as Saori Kadowaki Kadowaki with a sweet and lovely appearance, and has a pair of big watery eyes, looking gentle and kind, and very easy to talk.

"Hi, Junhui!"

Saori Kadowaki waved her hand and said hello to Miss Miko, who was a little surprised when she saw this, "Saori? What are you doing here? ”

Saori Kadowaki pushed Takato in front of Miss Kimie and said, "Actually, I brought this guest here. He's looking for someone who's been on the island these days, and I think he can find it in your roster. ”

"Although it is possible that people who have been on the island these days have come to me to buy number plates, it is too suspicious that you deliberately accompanied this guest here, right? Say, you're actually coming to me for something. ”

Miss Junhui said.

"Ahh

Saori Kadowaki said, leaning into Junhui's ear and saying, "Can you just reveal which numbers your great-grandmother will draw at night!" ”

"It's all said, how can I know this!"

Junhui retorted, "If you want to buy a number plate, you can buy it first, and it depends on luck whether you can draw it or not." ”

Hearing this, Saori Kadowaki was also a little helpless, but she still chose to buy a number plate and write her name under the forty-third number of the roster.

Then, Saori Kadowaki said to Takato, "This is my friend Shimabukuro Kimi, the shrine maiden of this shrine, what can you ask her?" ”

Shimabukuro Kimie looked at Takato and said, "What's the name of the friend you're looking for?" If he had come to me to buy a number plate, he would have left his name. ”

Hearing this, Gao Yuan was a little entangled: Nakagawa Dazang or Fujii Yu? It's uncertain which name the other party will use when they come here, but I've already said that I'm looking for a friend, and it's too suspicious to say two names here. And since the other party can use a kana, they don't necessarily use the same kana.

"Nakagawa Dazang."

After thinking about it, Gao Yuan still said the name.

When Kimie Shimabukuro heard the name, she thought for a moment.

"Like, no one with that name has ever bought it. I'm sorry I can't help you. ”

I'm a little sorry,said Kimie Shimabukuro.

"No, it doesn't matter. I'm bothering you. ”

Gao Yuan waved his hand and said, "By the way, what's the matter with the number plate you are talking about?" ”

From just now, the topic of Shimabukuro Junhui and Saori Kadowaki has been placed on this, and Takato is still a little curious about it.

"Well, in the evening celebrations, my great-grandmother would show three numbers, and if she got the same number on the number plate as my great-grandmother, she would get a dugong arrow. Actually, I kind of want to draw lots. ”

Kimie Shimabukuro explained with a smile, and then suddenly said, "By the way, do you want to try your luck too?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a wooden number plate with the word "forty-four" written on it in Chinese characters.

"Okay then."

Gao Yuan thought about it, but still took the number plate, since it was an event of the celebration on the island, he came anyway, so he should participate.

"By the way, what's the celebration for the night?"

Taking over Kimie Shimabukuro's roster and preparing to write his name under the forty-fourth, Takato asked.

"This is a tradition on our island, the mermaid festival. Hosted by the longevity woman on our island, who lived forever because she ate mermaid meat. Every year, she will give away three magic arrows by lottery, and those who get them can stay young forever. ”

Saori Kadowaki explained.

"Hey! Saori, you can't talk nonsense. My great-grandmother only lived a little longer! ”

Kimie Shimabukuro said.

After hearing this, Gao Yuan, who had just written the word "wise", was suddenly stunned on the spot.

"Look, they all scared the guests!"

Kimie Shimabukuro saw Takato who suddenly stopped writing.

At this time, Gao Yuan couldn't listen to what the other party said, because Gao Yuan finally knew that this was where it was - saying that this place was called American Island, so that he didn't notice that this place was actually the one that appeared in the original work, Mermaid Island!
