Chapter 289: Off to an adventure

Once the Ouranos upgrades were finished and the Detector MD installed, I began preparing to search for the Sky Island.

「Now then, we will be holding a meeting for the search for the Sky Island.」

「Yay! Woohoo!」

Claps

When I announcement the start of the meeting in front of everyone, Kaede clapped her hands and hollered.

Our group was gathered in the living room of the Sanctuary mansion to talk about our search for the Sky Island.

「Considering the position of the solitary island where Berkut and her tribe lived, I was thinking we should explore the area surrounding the Demon Continent first.」

「We’re excluding the areas we searched when we found the island, aren’t we?」

Sophia checked the scope of the search on the map.

It was then that Sylph suddenly appeared. As always, I couldn’t help but smiled wryly at the freewilled Great Spirit.

「You still appear so suddenly.」

「Of course I would. Wind is free.」

「So, did you come here to say something?」

「Yeah, Takumi, you’re looking for the Sky Island, right?」

「Yep. Sylph, no way, do you know where it is?」

「I don’t remember the rise and fall of each and every civilization, you know.」

「......it’s still only been a few hundred years since the Aligerous Tribe settled in, right?」

So it really was likely that the story of this ancient civilization was thousands of years ago. Sylph said that she doesn’t remember when the Aligerous Tribe began their lives at the Sky Island.

「According to Valkan-san, a large number of monsters lived within the forest, so they would have dug caves along the mountain and lived there.」

「If I remember correctly, Valkan-san and his tribe fled because monsters overflowed.」

When I talked about what I learned from Valkan-san, the chief of the Aligerous Tribe, Sophia chimed in about the reason for their escape to the solitary island.

「The historic ruins of the ancient civilization were engulfed by the forest, and maybe the apparatus which utilizes a dungeon core to keep the island afloat is in it.」

「Then it broke in some way and the dungeon core regained its primary function, didn’t it?」

「Probably. If so, then maybe we will have to repair the device that utilizes that dungeon core.」

From Sylph’s faint memories, the ancient civilization definitely used a dungeon core to control the floating island. And she knew that it hadn’t been that long, time-wise.

「I think it would be fine for 100-200 years, but I think you should hurry if you want to repair the control unit of the core. Maybe, if left at is, at the 300th year, it would no longer be able to support the island and fall.」

「Eh!? That’d be horrible!」

「Takumi-sama please calm down. Sylph-sama said it would be fine for 100-200 years.」

「Ah, ahhh, you’re right. But it would be better if we don’t hang around to find out. There’s a chance that it would take time to repair it.」

We now can’t just look for the Sky Island and thin out the monsters that flooded out from the dungeon. We need to restore control of the core and create an environment the Aligerous Tribe could return to.
