A few days after I transitioned from Ilgafa to the recreation area.
The whole party and I had come on a tour of the uninhabited island.
The place is northwest of the "Recreation Area Mishlila".
It was the twin islands, a little far from the uninhabited island we were originally planning to visit.
'Look at that, Arujidono! Cecil and Rita are waving to you on the other side of the island!
Letitia's here, too. Yoo-hoo!
Down on the sandy beach, Cutlass and Aine are waving at the island across the street (・・・・・・).
I imitate them and wave to them as well...
Splash, splash, splash, splash!
'──── called ────? Nagi──────!
Take it easy! You can't get there by water walking. ────
I shouted back in a panic as Rita tried to run across the water to get to me.
There are two uninhabited islands in these waters. The fishermen call them 'twin islands'.
We are on one of those twin islands.
The island we were originally going to visit was all booked up, so we arranged another deserted island tour. Inadvertently, two islands.
One is a volcanic island where Aine, Cutlass, and Iris are staying, and it's famous for its hot springs and sand baths.
The other island with Cecil, Rita, Rafilia and Leticia is famous for its shallow waters, rivers and delicious fruit.
The two islands are a few hundred meters apart, but at night the water recedes and you can cross them.
That's why we decided to vacation on both islands.
By the way, the Magic Sword Leggy is on my back. Rita is holding Ritogon with White on her back.
We drew lots to divide the members of the party.
The reason we split up our party is that we've made reservations, so let's play on both islands. We all think we can play on whichever island we like best. When the tide is out, we can go back and forth between the two islands.

Recipient: Mr. Nagi
Text: We are going to explore this island. We'll send you some delicious-looking fruit when we find it.
As I was thinking about this, I received a message from Cecil.
I reply, 'I'm looking forward to it.
I don't see any more people on the beach over there. Cecil, Rita, Rafilia and Leticia seem to have already started to move. Let's look for an interesting point of interest while we are still in the daytime.
Then let's get moving too.
"Yes, brother. I'm going to go to .......
We grab our bags and walk out into the island.
The end of the sandy beach is a forest. Even though the island is uninhabited, the ground is well-marked, perhaps because it's a tourist destination.
The ground is slightly warm and the sun is not so strong.
According to the fisherman who gave us a lift to this place, you can pitch a tent between the trees, or sleep in a cave. There were no monsters and no ferocious animals, so it was warm and welcoming. Really, it's like a resort.
Iris and Cutlass are walking hand in hand, skipping along.
Aine is ...... redder than usual. When I look at her, she smiles back with an embarrassed smile. It's a little different than usual. The reason is probably ...... the meat from The Horned Serpent.
That foodstuff, when eaten, energizes me in a 'male child-like' way. Aine hid that from me. So, maybe Aine was planning to make me eat it during this trip - and beyond that - maybe.
(or maybe not)
When I noticed ...... I couldn't help but hold my chest.
I shouldn't do it.
Aine thinks I'm not aware of The Horned Serpent. It's your sister's wish, so I want to ...... make that ...... come true. I have to pretend that I don't know here. Otherwise, it's Aine, and I'm sure she's going to care about it.
Take a deep breath and ...... okay.
"Here. You're behind. Aine.
'Oh, my God, it's hilarious! Hi!
When I called out to her, Aine shook her shoulders, bleeping.
She was insanely upset. So fresh.
Aine's shoelaces are untied! Aine's shoelaces are untied! Go ahead, nee-kun!
Uh-huh.
Aine, I'm wearing sandals today.
But I can't say anything if I see her shaking with a red face.
I'm going to go ahead and do as I'm told.
...... Oh.
As soon as I entered the forest, I couldn't help but sigh.
I was surrounded by greenery and the soft sunlight was shining through the branches. The breeze, a bit like an ocean breeze, felt really, really good.
I've had adventures in the forest before, but it feels different from anything I've ever done before.
It's the kind of forest that makes you feel safe, as if someone is watching over you.
Iris and Cutlass, who have moved on, are standing there in a daze. Maybe they both feel the same way I do.
Maybe they are the guardians of the island or something.
This is a fantasy world, so it's not surprising that something like that exists.
I wonder if Cecil and Raphilia would be able to sense their presence.
The moment I said that, I received a message from Cecil.
It was timely.
"Did Cecil sense something, too? "Did Cecil sense something, too?
I opened the message.
"Cecil.
Recipient: Mr. Nagi
Oh, my God! Mr. Nagi. This is a big deal! This island has been hurting us! What shall we do: ...... What shall we do: ......
...... What's happening. Cecil.
...... My goodness.
...... Is this even possible?
Listening closely, I heard Iris and Cutlass murmuring.
Both of them slumped their shoulders in disappointment.
Looking closely, they saw a wooden board placed under the trees.
There were words written on it with something that looked like charcoal. Let's see...
"All who reside on this island are forbidden to make love to each other.
...... Yes?
Sender: Cecil.
Recipient: Mr. Nagi
Text: what is it: ...... this board! What do you mean by "those on this island forbid flirting between men and women" ......? Rita is turning blue too! Oh, Lady Letitia! Why do you raise your sword "for you all"? Rafilia-san, why do you call a tornado with a nice smile ──── too?''
Oh, a 'dragon seed whirlwind' is occurring on the island over there.
And it's even bigger than usual.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea.
Recipient: Cecil.
Body: Cecil. You've got to stop Rafilia. Destruction of nature in a tourist area is a bad idea. You don't want to get out of control until I do some research.'
I sent the message.
The tornado on the other side of the island disappeared.
'Didn't the fisherman tell you there were rules like this ......?'
I asked Iris.
'Yes,' he said. Rather, the island is known as a place of refuge for those who love each other. I looked into that area before I booked it: ......
With that, Iris said and took my hand in hers.
And then...
Blah, blah, blah, blah!
Nay-kun!
Aine pulled on my arm.
A tree branch fell down, grazing my back.
It's about the size of my arm. It's thin, so it doesn't matter if it hits you...
Is there someone else out there with us?
This is supposed to be an uninhabited island. ......?
'You mean there are people watching Aine and the others?
It's not necessarily a person, sir. It could be undead, like the Knight Ghost.
Iris, Aine, and Cutlass spoke up.
A mysterious message and a wooden board.
A tree branch that fell when I grabbed Iris's hand. As if to warn her.
If there's someone in this place, it might be hobbling us to touch each other.
...... But that doesn't mean we're on vacation, does it?
............ Yeah.
Anyway, let's try an experiment.
Gustavo.
"Hey, bro? Hey, Hey-kun? Uh, Yuji?
I squeezed Iris, Aine and Cutlass.
"Knock, knock.
The ground beneath my feet caved in.
Hey, bro! Don't be so careless, Nay-kun.
The three of them support my body.
The hole in the ground is as small as a person's fist. But if I stumble, I usually fall.
Is that how someone on this island warns a man who is trying to make out with a girl?
"Reggie, you're in there, right?
"Of course.
The Magic Sword Leggy shook at my back.
'Stay in your demon sword form for a while.
"Okay, okay, ......, Lord?
Whispering. Whispering.
"Nuh-uh, Nushi-sama? You dare to stroke my body all of a sudden?
Yeah. Experiment.
'Experiment? Oh, come on. Why are you rubbing my scabbard in front of everyone? You're really embarrassing me, aren't you?
Hmm.
You mean that Leggy in the demon sword state is not recognized as a girl, right?
Body: Ha, yes. Yes, Nagi-sama! I was just in the middle of Lady Letitia trying to calm Rita and Rafilia down...

Cecil and I exchange messages with each other.
One word at a time, slowly.
Strange things won't happen at .......
Even if you make out with Cecil in the mind linkage Kai, no warning will come.
That means that "someone" on this island doesn't react to things they can't see.
In other words, that person is watching us right now.
Iris. "Iris, build a dome-shaped blindfold in the void of illusion.
Yes, sir. Big brother!
Hmm.
A white dome of about 5 meters in diameter has been created around us.
No one could see us from the outside.
But, brother... Shouldn't you use 'Dragon's Blessing (Dragonic Breath)' to strengthen your physics? This dome is just an image, so you'll be able to come and go as you please, okay?
'Yes. Yes.
It's better that way.
The purpose is to locate the unseen 'someone'.
If the purpose of the invisible someone is to observe and warn us, then they would be in here.
But if it's in here, the range of motion is extremely limited.
Let's just go with our gut feeling for the rest.
'Activate! "Transcendental sense!
My vision blacked out.
This skill allows you to take your intuition to the extreme by blocking out the five senses.
What should I do at ......?
I'm sure there's someone out there that I can't see.
For now, it's useless to groping for ...... because it has no sense of touch.
On the other hand, why don't we all just lie around? And if you shrink the dome to its limits, your opponent's location is completely limited. I've failed. Even if I lie down now, it's too late. But let's try to sleep.
It's not good. When I sleep in this position, I feel like I'm getting a glimpse of everyone's underwear. I have to get up quickly.
...... The effect time is about to expire.
My senses are starting to come back. I heard something, but that's not what it sounds like.
"Let go. d*mn you, human. I will not allow you to do anything but play with your own children!
In my hand, there was a fairy.
It's about the same size as a figurine of Leggy.
It has transparent wings on its back. I'm not going to be able to get it right.
''Who are you?''
'Oh, shit! What the hell, dude! Why are you dodging all my attacks!
Did you dodge it?
'Funny, huh? It's impossible for a guy who came to make out with a girl to be such a master at it! If I send a branch flying right next to you, lie down and avoid it. If I try to make the ground cave in, jump and catch me!
Really?
I looked at Aine, Iris and Cutlass.
All three of them were bright-eyed and nodded, giggling. It seems to be true.
I can't see myself while my "Transcendental Sense" is activated, you know.
If I was doing something cool, I should have asked someone to take a screenshot. Fail Fail.
'So who are you?'
......
The fairy remained silent.
'Iris. You haven't heard of a guardian fairy on the island, have you?
No, sir. This island is just a tourist attraction, just like the other one.
...... not.
A fairy glared at me.
"These twin islands are my sister's and my sister's ancient islands! I just turned into a tourist attraction while I slept!
With that, the fairy began to speak.
The fairy's name is 'Lane'.
It is said that these creatures have lived on this island for a long time.
A long time ago, so long ago that I don't even remember, they were given a mission to read the stars on this island, and they have fulfilled that mission. In ancient times, their master told them that when the world was in danger, the stars would change.
'Who was that master?'
...... Earth Dragon Earthgulls and the 'Ancient Elves'
The fairy said.
They were originally fairies living on this twin island, and what they were given was an incidental mission.
She said that fairies are creatures that live long by going through cycles of sleep and waking up, so it was no big deal to them.
By the way, when I woke up after a long time, I couldn't go to the twin islands where my sister was.
Lane loved his twin sister on the other island, in the obvious sense of the word.
And yet, I was sad because I missed seeing them.
But the island where they live, the island of the twins, has become a tourist attraction for couples for one reason or another.
Lane the Fairy, who can't see her sister, can't stand to see them come to the island, so she decides to impose a "no flirting" law on the island.
It seems to be that we came just as she was getting ready to make a billboard.
...... I wanted you to understand the pain of not being able to make out with the person you love!
After saying that, Fairy Lane raised her arms and
'And besides, the reason I can't see your sister is because of the bad things those tourists who came here did, of course!
Wait a minute.
What?
Lane's sister lives on the other island, doesn't she?
Yeah?
Can't we just fly away?
It's too windy over the ocean. You'll get blown away.
I thought the islands would be connected at low tide?
It's the same with the wind that blows you away.
What about a boat ride across? We'll let you borrow our boat.
In fact, your sister and I have to get together in a designated place.
Mutuality ......?
Does that mean we're going to get along, or that we're going to have a physical relationship?
'These twin islands are connected by underground passages, and there's a room in there for us to make love to each other. When we wake up, we exchange information there, and it increases. Divide and conquer.
...... sister, you're a girl, right?
Basically, we're all girls, right?
Will there be more?
Don't you think it's rather unnatural for men and women to get together to make up for it?
Fairy Lane had a strange look on her face.
It was called the inter-species gap.
'That's why it's hard for me to see men and women making out with each other when I can't see my sister. So please give it up.
...... I don't know if you can say that.
I looked at Aine, Iris, and Cutlass.
They all looked at the fairy lane enviously.
No wonder. I was just about to enjoy a leisurely vacation when I saw the unexpected first inhabitant. And they attacked me. Aine, Iris, and Cutlass have all been in battle formation since a while ago.
'So that means you - the fairy lane should be able to see your sister on the next island, right?
'Yes. As soon as we can use the underground facilities, we won't have a problem...
Is it really the tourists' fault that the pathways connecting the islands are no longer working?
Maybe. There's a demon living here that doesn't belong on this island.
The elf Lane pointed to the ground.
''This island was once the territory of the ancient elves. And we were introduced by the Earth Dragon Earthgulls and given the 'stargazing role' for the ancient elves. The underground passages and facilities are for that purpose. But that's where the giant slime now resides.
The ancient elven territory?
If that's the case, there might be a clue to the "Ancient Elf City" we're looking for.
And I'm also curious about the slime in the area.
Normally, slimes don't come across the sea by themselves.
That means that someone brought it here while the elves were sleeping.
'All right. Let's go take a look.
In any case, we can't relax if there are demons in the basement.
We'll have to solve the problem of the fairies to get everyone's vacation off to a good start.
