Since this was Jin and Elsa's < and not a research or exploration trip, they could not spend much time on a single island.
All the members of the group were aware of this.
"Kuhu, let's see what the next island is like."
"I heard it's a little bigger than the island we left out."
Goose answered Saki's question.
"I'm looking forward to it!"
Hannah also shouted with an innocent smile on her face.
"Well, then, I'd like to give you a brief explanation as a preliminary information.
Jin opened his mouth.
We have already learned a great deal from the investigations of the Marin and Land teams during the night.
"It seems that there are no dangerous animals on Merope Island. So the equipment is the same as before. And ......."
After a pause, Jin asked the old man to explain.
The old man began to speak.
Relief comes over the members' faces when they hear this.
The old man has finished his explanation.
"You heard me right. I think there is probably something on Archeone Island. Not knowing what it is is not good for my sleep, so I'm going to let Rand and the others look for it."
"Hmm, I think that's a good idea."
Erza agrees, so the precautions are taken and the group goes ashore by stream as before.
It was decided not to go too far from the landing site that day.
By the way, Rodrigo, who was supposed to return that day, could not because he was busy at his store.
Still, it is a fatherly figure that he told his beloved daughter Marcia to <.

"Let's go fishing.
Jin suggested that we do something fun that we haven't done before.
"Yeah, that sounds good, Jin."
Martha was the first to agree. She was a little bored after all.
"Yes, that's right. Let's see what we can catch here.
Marcia agreed.
"Okay, I'll send a fishing rod.
Jin himself had never fished in the sea, only in rivers, but he had seen Potrock's fishing equipment and had made a prototype plan to fish in Horai Island as well.
Now, I could see the light of day here.
When Marcia saw the fishing tools sent to her, she said
"Jin, is this based on the one in Potlock?
She asked.
"Yes, it is. You know a lot about this, don't you Marcia?"
"Of course. ...... I'm not very proud of it, but I did fish for food before I met the Djinns and won."
Marcia thinks for a moment and then opens her mouth again.
"Maybe, but the fish around here are not so different from the potlocks, are they?"
Marcia was fishing mainly with a trap net, though.
"If it's a fish that can also be fished, it's a halibut."
A fish similar to a flounder or flatfish, found on the bottom of the sea.
"You have to bait them with sandworms."
Saying this, Marcia digs in the sand around her with a fallen branch.
"Oh, there they are!"
Sandworms are not what we call "sandworms.
In modern Japan, they are called "sandworms" or "sandworms.
It seems that this species, called <>, is not popular with the ladies.
"Are you going to use this as bait ......?"
Licia's face changes color.
But...
"I'm fine with this. Here."
Hannah picked it up and showed it to her.
"If you don't stab or bite me separately, ...... hey?"
Saki is not afraid to put it in the palm of her hand.
"I don't want to touch ...... woo ...... much."
"I agree."
But Stearina and Vivienne backed away.
"Well, let's have Marin do the baiting."
Seeing the reaction of the women, Jin makes a compromise.
"Well, then, ......".
He also asked Marin to remove the fish from the hook.
< boats and cast a line near the shore.
"It pulled!"
"I caught it!"
The fish were not rubbing against each other, and we had chosen a spot where the fish were in good shadow, so the fishing was almost continuous.
"All right, let's race!"
It was beginning to look like a fishing contest.
"I'm going to make meunière of halibut tonight," he said.
Sashimi is good, too.
Sashimi's good, too. Sushi's good.
We have soy sauce and wasabi, so that's one way to eat them.
In the end, Marcia took first place with 12 fish. Even Elsa, who came in last place, caught 6 fish, making it a very successful fishing tournament.
The last place finisher, Elsa, caught 6 fish.
"Yes, it's fresh.
"Ugh, the horseradish was too much ......".
For dinner, we had sashimi, sushi, meuniere, and grilled fish as requested by everyone.
Jin mainly enjoyed sashimi and sushi, while Erza enjoyed salted fish and meuniere.
Saki enjoyed sushi and salted fish, and Hannah enjoyed all of them ....... They all enjoyed their own Haribou dishes to the fullest.
"Oh, I'm so full!"
Licia sipped her hojicha (roasted green tea) with a satisfied smile.
"I can't believe I have to go home tomorrow. ......"
She too has a job as the lord of Toka village, so she can't be away for such a long time.
"By the way, didn't Jin-san say that there is such a thing as a <> (......)?"
A <> is a faithful imitation of the target person.
While it is relatively easy to imitate the appearance of a person, it is necessary to accumulate a certain amount of data on the actions and thoughts of the person.
In the case of Licia, this data is still insufficient.
Even if it is sufficient, there are others like Count Kuzma, who do not like to entrust their territories to such entities.
Perhaps they are afraid of becoming accustomed to such replacements.
"It's fun enough just to be able to come and visit from time to time like this, isn't it?
