Arriving at the destination, a floating island, Einhorn found an open space and forced it to land.
What holds the floating Einhorn in place is an anchor that sticks into the ground.
They are in the process of unloading using armor and it is Julius and his group who are working.
On my part, I have a rifle and I’m on the lookout in the surrounding area.
“It’s a strange floating island when you think about it.”
Ange and Livia are close to me as I use binoculars to look around.
Ange had a rifle and was just as alert as I was to the surroundings.
Perhaps my muttering to myself caught her attention, and she asks why.
“Are you worried about something?”
“No, you see the ancient castle in the middle of the floating island, right? It’s nice that it’s surrounded by forest, but there’s no harbor on this floating island.” It is too inconvenient in any way for someone to have lived there in the past.
The small floating island has only the castle and the surrounding forest.
If this were a game, I wouldn’t have cared, but it was very unnatural.
It doesn’t seem like people lived here.
Livia holding a map answers my questions, confirming their current location and the location of the castle.
“Maybe this floating island collapsed and shrunk. It is not surprising if you consider that it used to be bigger and there used to be a harbor there.” Is that even possible?
As I put down my binoculars, Ange tells me about other possibilities.
“Or maybe the land was carved up and taken away? It is possible that this floating island was cut off from the continent in the past.”
They say there are so many possibilities, and I’m at one point convinced.
What matters is not the past, but the treasure that lies in the ancient castle.
“I don’t know what happened in the past, but I guess it doesn’t matter to us treasure hunters.”
As she said so, Ange carried the rifle.
“That’s the way it is. After we get the treasure, we can send out a survey team.”
Ange was thrilled to hear about the treasure, but Livia let out a small sigh and curled up the map.
“I would like to know what happened in the past on this floating island. More importantly, what is the name of this floating island? It would be nice to know the name of the old castle, too.”
As I recall, in that Otome game, it was called.
“The old castle of Golden Hand, I think?”
