Kem smiled wryly and shoved the rice balls into his mouth.

Sirona noticed a grain of rice sticking to her slightly sagging cheek.

"Vegetable wood, with grains of rice on it."

"Are you serious?"

Keim immediately touched his cheek with his hand, but since the rice grain was on the other side of the cheek, he couldn't remove it.

For the usually neat and tidy Keim, this is an unusual appearance. A protective and mischievous heart struck, and Sirona instinctively reached out and picked up a grain of rice from Keim's cheek and put it in her mouth.

“！”

"Hehe, thank you for having a meal."

Kem frowned at Sirona's smile. I wasn't embarrassed by the act itself, but because Lucia and Isana were staring at it, I could see that the girls were excited about something.

I don't know if Sirona didn't notice it, or if she was used to it by the Gadelia women, but she was calm.

Keim turned his gaze to Mukhok beside him, believing that this problem would be troublesome in the future.

"Mukhokok, there's something I want to ask you after dinner."

When I called out to Mukhok, who was talking to Chiru next to me, Mukhok's eyes sharpened and he nodded.

After eating and cleaning up, Mukhok Hawk returned.

It landed in front of Cam, shouting loudly to convey something.

"Well done. Did you find it? ”

Mukhok listened to Kem's words and nodded. Mukhok retracted his gaze and turned his gaze in one direction.

"Over there"

"What happened?"

Lucia, who was watching the exchange with Mukhok, asked Kem.

"We don't have much time to investigate the island, so I asked Mukhok to look at the exterior of the island from the air to see if there were any artifacts. There's a concrete pier there, so it's not surprising if something else happens. ”

"Of course Mukhhawk found something?"

"Oh, looks like something happened."

Out of Mukhawk's line of sight, there was only a stretch of rock, and it didn't look like anything out of the ordinary. But something happened, and Mukhok was pointing in that direction.

"Then let's hurry up."

"I'll wait a little longer"

"No, it looks close, you can come with your sister.

"I don't mind, but well, if it's nearby, it's fine."

I don't mind waiting, but there's no doubt it's a waste of time. It was borrowed by someone else, so I wanted to take a good look at it, but if it was really right next to me, I would be able to come back as soon as something happened, Ishana was sure in her heart.

"I don't mind if you go, but just in case, I'll let Samehadar take care of the ship."

"Oh, please."

Isana tells Sharkhard to get the ball off the ball and puts him in charge of the boat.

After all this was done, the four of them followed Mukhok's lead to the place where Mukhok had discovered.

A little further on, there is a place in the rocky area that looks like a small promontory. At the top of the cape, you can see something standing.

“… Is that? ”

"Let's get closer."

Climb up a small headland with a wooden sign.

"Signboard, huh?"

"Yes.

The signboard is made of wooden planks and thick sticks. Although the structure is simple, it has not been damaged after a long period of exposure to the sun, which shows that its workmanship is quite strong.

Shirona turned in front of a billboard facing the sea. The sea breeze ruffled Sirona's hair, and Sirona tucked it back to her head.

"What is written on it?"

"It must have been left by one person, and it must have been the same person who built that pier."

"Maybe it's safe to think so. It's been raining in the wind and rain for a long time, so some places are washed out, but I can barely read it. I'll read it. ”

Sirona read the letters written on the sign.

June

If the people who enter here are able to again

Good heart, good luck

Write your wishes here

Leave this behind

``

No one said a word.

It's not that I don't understand. Because I didn't know what to say to the person who left the sign.

"This is written by the person who left Miao's child here, right?"

Lucia broke the silence.

But his voice was thick with hesitation and sadness.

"Probably.

"I've made a record. If you think the letter will be obscured"

Kem was writing sentences on his notepad as he looked at the letters on the sign that Shirona was looking at.

"June

If a human being who enters here reappears

May you be a kind person

Now write down this wish here

Leave the land behind

Fuji"

Kem made a prediction and filled in the letters on the signboard, wrote it on a notepad and read it aloud.

"Is that so?"

The date was left blank as it was unpredictable, but I was able to fill in the rest with what I thought was almost certain.

"yes, it must be like that."

"Wait a minute, why are you two so sure?"

"Is there anything strange?"

As for Kem, I thought it was filled up without any discomfort, but Isana looked unconvinced and raised her voice.

Isana began to talk about where there was a sense of incongruity.

"No, that's what it is. I can understand that this may be true. But how did Kem know that the person who wrote this sentence was 'Fuji'? ”

"Ah, yes. You've also heard that there is a scholar in Bai Ming who is studying Miao, right? “

"Yes"

"The scholar's name is 'Dr. Fuji.'"

This word seems to be the name written at the end of this signboard and I can't read it clearly, but it should be a two-letter name.

"I see, I see."

Once Ishana was convinced, Lucia raised her hand, still holding Miu in her hand.

"Can I ask you a question too?"

"As far as we know."

"Why did the 'Doctor' do that?

Hearing this question, Bai Nai's face became slightly gloomy.

Seeing this, Lucia felt a little guilty and asked a bad question herself. Lucia knew, and the ship's question, "Are you ready to learn about the Dark World?" She was asking Lucia if she was ready to understand, and Sirona was asking if she was ready to teach Lucia about such a dark world.

Shirona was very kind. Therefore he loves the world and confronts Akagi, who tries to deny it. The kind-hearted Sirona fears that Lucia will be hurt by learning about the dark world.

Even though I knew my worries were unfounded, it was painful to tell them that. Lucia sensed his intentions and felt guilty.

"Keep in mind that what I'm saying is only hypothetical based on the information I have and the current situation."

However, Sirona knew Lucia's determination and professionalism. That's why I chose to tell you publicly.

Hearing Sirona's words, Lucia nodded with a serious expression.
