"What a culinary variation...! Too much muscle!
"There's a lot of stockpiles, plus stoneware and earthenware. Different dimensions, please."
"I'm afraid you even made baths and soap."
"I have plenty of clothes to change. Shinomiya Fire Shadow, you seem like a good leader."
The five new faces were impressed by the atmosphere of Asia.
That should be the case, and the environment of Team Imperial Castle is too harsh.
No, it was terrible, there was no progress.
"But you saved my sounds, you missed me."
"My mission is to provide a better environment for my daughter. So I just missed it. You don't need to thank me."
Sophia's escort, Heaven Sound, was aware of our reconnaissance.
I know it's not a lie because I was given a specific date and time and location.
Still, the heavenly noise did not report during the day and night because it was on the balance.
I want to know whether this environment is good for Sofia or a day and night environment.
Besides, it seems that there was no intention of attacking us.
Anyway, if the sky noise had been reported during the day and night, we would have been packed.
There are other things I've learned from Heavenly Sounds.
There is no fear that the team Imperial Castle will come down south.
If daytime moves its base, it has a high budget to go north rather than south.
Because there are plenty of caves in the north and plenty of animals.
Above all, day and night do not know the presence of azites.
Therefore, there was no reason to choose the cave or the meaty south side.

- The next day.
Monday, August 12th, the 25th day of this world.
After breakfast, in Asia.
"Today, I'm going to look into everyone's abilities."
The first step is to measure the abilities of the new face.
At this time, we do not know anything other than the battle technology of Heavenly Sound.
What I want is basically a generalist.
I appreciate one specialist, but the important thing is the overall ability.
I want the strength to survive just by my own strength in times of need.
"Firstly, the fire is caused by the kimono and gibberish type. Next, production of bronze and earthenware. Finally, teach them about the trap they set up in the river or forest. They will be worn as a minimum knowledge beyond living here."
No one had any objection to that - it was supposed to be.
Wait, wait, wait.
Mizuno raised his hand.
"What's wrong?
"Can you just give me another assignment?
Everyone is surprised.
And I said, "What are you talking about? I thought,
"What do you mean?
"You said Shinomiya at yesterday's welcoming party. The goal right now is to build a big ship that everyone can board and go to the island beyond the sea."
I bet you did.
An island beyond the sea that was confirmed to exist on the first day I came to this world.
The immediate goal is to go there.
However, it was more likely that they would be forced to struggle with it.
Because if we reach a certain distance from this island, the sea will be rough.
I checked it over several days and found that it always happened at the same distance.
Specifically, it's a little bit in front of us... between here and there.
Attempts were made from multiple angles, but the results remained the same.
That's why we have enough ships to survive some rough waves.
We need a sailboat that looks like a pirate, not a boat.
"I'll go swim and see what I can find out, the other island."
――
Everyone is shocked.
"Unlike around here, the waves are getting pretty harsh.
"No problem."
Mizuno said with a confident face.
I don't think I'm talking about date or drunkenness.
"You know, I'm the Japanese representative for Triathlon. Swimming in a triathlon is the sea. Unlike normal swimming, it is sometimes necessary to swim through rough waves. Our professional athletes even swam waves like surfers fleeing."
Mizuno's gaze turned towards the sky sound.
"Don't you understand?
The heavenly noise nods "Indeed."
"No one is better than a triathlon if they only see the skill of swimming in rough waves. Simple swimming skills are higher than Navy Seals."
"That's what it is. So I'll scout the other island. Besides, I don't know about making bronze or earthenware, but I can do everything else. Shinomiya, I like survival just like you. I have some knowledge."
This was an unexpected offer.
I'd like to say thank you for letting go, but I'm just holding my head.
Even if we break through a rough wave, there may be a new problem ahead.
Because I don't know what's on the other island.
"I know what to think. You must be mistaken for me. But sooner or later, it's a problem to visit. If you build a sailboat and cross the other island, it's dangerous not only for me, but also for the rest of the crew. It would be a wise choice to send only one person to scout first, rather than taking the risk of endangering everyone from the start. Isn't that right?"
Mizuno was right.
That's why I can only say, "That's right."
The other members seem to leave their judgment to me.
"Just yesterday. Shinomiya, you're awesome. It's been less than a month since I came to this world, but I've built a hub so far. Knowledge alone is a way to take off your hat, but your personality is also excellent. The bath is so delicious that you can only say it's super easy to cook. I want to repay you the best for that."
Mizuno heats up.
"So, Shinomiya, let me scout. I'll swim to the other island and see what's going on. If I return, I can prove my safety, and if I do not return, you will know that there is some danger. Nothing is risky for everyone."
Mizuno's words moved me.
I nod, "Okay."
"Mizuno, I'll leave the reconnaissance to you. Is there anything you need?
"Can you give me a few days' worth of preserved food and a bottle of water purification from Shinomiya?"
Copy that.
I helped Mizuno prepare for today's work.
Mizuno puts a lacquerware box and a water purification bottle in her student bag.
The lacquerware box was made in advance by us and was originally meant to hide supplies.
Place a few days' worth of preserved food in the box as requested by Mizuno.
"Please use my personal belongings."
He only carries swimming goggles and waterproof smartphones.
All the rest was left in Ajito.
That said, there are only textbooks and empty lunch boxes and broken headphones.
"It takes two days to cross the sea back and forth, and it takes a few days to check on the other side. Think about a week to two weeks as a guide. If you don't come back after two weeks, review your plan."
Mizuno dashed out of Asia and jumped into the sea.
