PROLOGUE
The largest nature reserve in Europe was Doñana National Park in modern Andalusia, an autonomous community in the southern region of Spain. It was a veritable paradise for the five hundred thousand migratory birds and waterfowl that visited every winter. Its abundant, fertile grounds made it a wonderful environment for a variety of plants and animals. Thanks to these qualities, it would eventually be designated as a biosphere reserve in the modern era.
According to legend, it was also said to be the location of the kingdom of Tartessos between the ninth and sixth century BCE. In fact, an analysis of aerial and satellite photos taken in 2010 revealed a number of circular impressions of various sizes, leading theorists to speculate that the ruins could’ve been those of the legendary Atlantis. However, its status as a nature and ecosystem reserve meant that any serious attempts to excavate the ruins had been denied. As a result, to this day, little is known about the area.
When Yuuto first learned that fact, it made him want to do a little jig. Before coming to the New World, he had been adamant about not carelessly messing with history. The Yggdrasillians traveling to the New World numbered over one million. He had no idea what would happen if he accidentally changed history and ended up creating a time paradox. In the worst case, every single one of those lives could be wiped from existence permanently. He had to avoid that at all costs, but with a million immigrants now looking to settle in this place, they would inevitably leave some sort of trace. If the land had hardly been excavated, however, then most of those traces could be concealed within history’s shadows. In other words, it was a perfect place for Yuuto and the rest to settle.
It was here that the curtain rose on Yuuto and his family’s new life.
