As the sun began to set, Clift, a man with gray hair, tied the dark brave princess Princess Reklia with a rope and began preparing to leave.

"We are easier to move in the dark night, can we move at night?"

I was asked by Clift, but I and I have no problem because I have detection skills. Other mercenaries leave. If you go in large numbers, you will feel intimidating, so a small number of people will be fine.

"Our aim is to investigate the Southern Hemisphere. Princess Reklia, who forgot his purpose, caused a lot of trouble to Komulo Company."

When we were ready and left the tent, Clift was preaching to Princess Reklia.

"But! There's Naoki Komuro, who's renowned as a spirit killer! Can my family silently overlook it?"

"If you're thinking about your clan, figure out your strength. Apenir is a weak nation that now blows, whereas Komulo is a company that has a connection with Great Plains and demons. Did you come to the Southern Hemisphere to fulfill your mission? "

"I haven't forgotten! I haven't forgotten ... maybe it's an evil spirit?"

I actually have a relationship with evil gods.

"Princess, think twice. Where is Naoki Komuro said to have gone? Great Plains, demons, and the country of fire, all of which are more developed than before. Do you think you use it? "

"So why didn't you come to our country? Why only the dark spirits must always be misunderstood? First of all, a spirit for people? I don't understand the power of darkness The enemy of! "

Princess Reklia is about to cry.

Clift sighed greatly after seeing Princess Reklia.

"Hm? I'm sorry. An unsightly place ..."

Clift noticed us on purpose. Princess Reklia wiped her tears and turned down. Perhaps Clift wanted to tell us what Princess Reklia was thinking.

"Princess Reklia, we will not be able to enter Apenir unless we have to solve the isolation"

"The Komuro Company should be able to fly in the sky!"

Princess Reklia told me with a red face.

"Our company is surprisingly obeying the rules, unlike some assassins."

When I said that, Princess Reklia was trembling in a trap.

"Naoki!"

Clift shouted at me. Do you want me not to be too bullied?

"Tell me more to the princess. I won't listen to our story!"

It was the opposite.

"Okay, let's leave the wasteful talk and finally go!"

Aisle called out to us.

"Once you are ready to join our expedition, because you are in a group of devastating people and think that if the guards disappear, you will not be able to move."

Clift asked.

"Are you a rough man?"

"It's about adventurers."

Aisle answered my question. Speaking of which, there are adventurers on this continent.

"How far were you going to go?"

Isle asked Clift.

"Even to the west ruins. Scholars say it may be the land of an ancestor."

"Are there any archeological sites west of this continent?"

I asked Aisle for confirmation.

"Oh, I came out. I told Remi once, but there are archaeological sites that have to be dug first."

Archaeologist Remi is currently excavating the archeological site of Kronos Titanes, the hometown of Tokioli, on the Great Plains.

"Huh? Is that south? Is that the archeological site of the Skyport Kingdom?"

"Sure, we're looking for the remains of the Skyport Kingdom. Some of us living in Apenir have emigrated from the Skyport Kingdom. Did you know?"

"No, I don't know yet. Isle, show me the map."

Aisle showed me his own map. As always, when looking at the map with various symbols, the terrain is constricted just near the equator and protrudes west on the southern hemisphere side. At the protruding place, it was written, "Ruins?" From there, the description "Mysterious Island" is erased in the northern sea near the equator.

"This is where Barni Barbi Island was. It was just a 'mysterious island' because I didn't get on the island."

Gradually, the country's position 1000 years ago has been grasped.

"I see. Is a scholar an archeologist?"

"There are archeologists, but most are agronomists."

Isn't agriculture a very wide area?

"Let's go soon, we'll go first."

Aisle made a fuss and tried not to move.

"Wait wait! It's too early!"

With that said, I started running, and the dark heroes began to run. She is trying to get a tied Reklia princess, but she is slow. Friends are pulling, but they may fall over.

When I thought so, Aisle, who was running in front, came back suddenly and rolled up Princess Reklia with something like a vine and put it on her shoulder.

"Troublesome!"

Isle told everyone a single word. It seems that it is troublesome to wait and adjust to the running speed.

"It's bad. My vice president is short. I'm going to the water source first."

I left the clifts and ran northwest with Aisle.

Are there 100 tents lined up near the water source under the moonlight? A little village level.

Water from a large pond, named Komuro Water Source, is also being used at a nearby agricultural experimental station. The Agricultural Experiment Station seems to be a genius hero and is being used by a seed nursery blow.

Anyone can use only one Otaru a day. About 5 liters. It seems that the management is done at our company, and mercenaries are sometimes coming to see.

"Do you guys keep it?"

"If you don't keep it, you'll be blown away by the adventurers around. A wind fairy teaches Blow."

The wind fairy is everywhere, so it can't seem bad. I wonder if you can find Miss Milia. I don't know what it looks like now.

"Oh? Are we in the spotlight?"

Adventurers live in the surrounding area, but they stop watching the dinner and prepare to sleep.

"After all, the jumpsuits stand out because there are only Naoki as blue guys."

"Is it so prominent, so let's call it, is there anybody from Apenir?"

I shouted out loud.

The adventurers all turned in the same direction, illuminating the magic stone lamp.

Those coming from Apenir will know immediately. A shirt without a white collar on pants like a black hakama. Many seem to wear glasses. I'm not used to survival, my face is deeply tired.

"Princess!"

One of them screamed while watching Princess Ale's carrying Reklia.

"Oh, okay. I caught me trying to assassinate me. Clifts will come later. Don't worry because the princess will send me home."

When I said that, Apenir's scholars were drooping and muttering, "Are we here?"

"Do I have to give up?"

"No, this is the story."

An old scholar who carved deep wrinkles on his face replied.

"I've come to the Southern Hemisphere with great effort. Why don't you try anything?"

For me, it's like breaking the equatorial wall. Probably Tokiori and Charlotte have the same feeling.

"We are sent home because of the princess."

A young scholar wearing glasses asked.

"Why? Is it a rule that we have to act together?"

"That's right, our investigation team at Apenir is one and the same. If the princess returns, he will return."

You're probably courageous because you came out of a country that is isolated. Does it all end with Princess Reklia trying to assassinate me? Honestly, wasteful.

"Can't we manage to winch? We're dead."

Despite others, Apenir's scholars seemed to be pitiful.

"Even if you stay in the southern hemisphere, you will be killed by demons and devastating people.

An old scholar said, and sighed big.

"Princess, it's better to reflect on this, because it's annoying many people."

"Guh ..."

Princess Reklia, hanging on the shoulder of Aisle, looked bad.

"Sorry for the scholars. Are you going to get some of my mercenaries out? Blows can come here anyway, so it doesn't affect my job so much."

Ayle has been proposing the disappointment of scholars. We have to wait for the clifts anyway. Do you want to talk a bit?

"If you tell me what you're doing, you can guard here."

"eh!?"

"Are we weak?"

"No, not at all. Since I came to the Southern Hemisphere, there has never been a day when I didn't know the name of the Komuro Company. But that's not the case ..."

"Is the rule of the country a problem, or do you think you don't understand darkness?"

Sure, Clift said there were many agronomists.

"Both"

An old scholar answered.

"I heard Clifts that plants wouldn't grow without the darkness underground. We call that darkness a fungus or a monster, but we think it's true. I don't know if I'm going into my religion, but I'll do my best to understand it. ''

"But at the Agricultural Experiment Station we ignore the darkness."

"Is Blow ignoring it?"

"Yes, I'm killing the soil by killing the darkness."

"It's not calm. Can you tell me more? Brow is a nursery and seed and seedling expert. But it's not perfect. Sometimes you don't know about darkness or soil."

"Of course, people are in the gradient and not perfect. Those who are trying to know are amateurs. If they reach out, they will surprisingly quickly become experts."

"Would you please make us dark experts?"

If you are in a taught position, it is natural to give thanks. It becomes a honorific language naturally.

"I'm not good at storms, but I can teach you about the darkness.

The old scholar smiled. It seems to tell us about darkness.

We headed for the scholars' tents, carrying Princess Reklia.

"Archi, tell this Oni why the Skyport Kingdom was destroyed."

An old scholar told Aki that he was a young glasses scholar. Arche was puzzled and showed me the old parchment spread out.

"Do you know the Skyport Kingdom?"

Archi asked me bluntly.

"No, I don't know much, but I know that there was a space hero called Charlotte 1000 years ago. A mixed race of dwarves and humans, she was terribly good at space magic. I was fighting a never-ending battle on the land of Barnibavi Island. ''

When I said that, Archi wore glasses astonishingly.

"Charlotte is mixed race! Do you know what archeologists don't know? Who is it?"

"I'm Naoki Komuro, president of Komuro Company. You're assassinated by your princess. What better tells you why the Skyport Kingdom was destroyed?"

"Then, President, do you know what soil is?"

"And again, 'What is the soil?' I don't even know the devil. I don't even know."

"Hmm? Save that philosophical thing right now. Soil is the land where you grow your crop. You can translate it as soil. At least we think so."

"I see."

"Growing crops requires darkness in the ground"

It's a little monster.

"But the more people plow, the more the darkness in the ground is exposed to the surface and killed by dryness and sunlight. The soil degrades."

"What did you say!?"

At that moment, what I thought common sense collapsed.

"But hasn't humanity developed by cultivating the fields and splitting labor?"

"That's right, but there's a pitfall in civilization. Look at this parchment, which describes the crops, fertilizers, and pesticides in the field in detail, chronologically. Is it written? "

The parchment also notes that crop yields are decreasing and that insecticides are less effective.

I remember the words of the devil in the earth.

'The dwarves were not destroyed by evil gods. It says that I'm gone. '

"If the darkness dies, the soil disappears"

Arche told me while fixing the glasses.

The soil disappears when the monster dies. If the soil disappears, civilization will die.

He suddenly heard about the theory of civilization collapse, and his head was shaking.
