Paradise
-Rou! You're going too far. You won't be able to go back!-
Airships heading for the center of the continent.
And we, the wyverns, are among them.
-But Captain Ormon, we can't just leave without any results-
-Shiro-sama is more concerned about damage than results-
We have not even arrived at the center yet, and damage must not be inflicted.
And there is a light flashing from the airship slightly behind us.
-......An order to return. Everyone, let's go back!-
-Captain!-
-Obey the orders-
-No, it's not that. Captain-
-What is it?-
The youngest of the wyverns looks in the opposite direction from the airship.
-I can barely see it. Don't you think that's land?-
---------------
"Land has been found!"
A report comes in from the wyverns via Sedona.
"Yeah, they found it on the horizon just east-northeast of here."
"Well done for finding it."
Wince can't hide her surprise.
In fact, it's a rough sea as far as the eye can see.
No eddies, no steady waves, no landmarks of any kind.
"Shiro, should we go there?"
"Let's go. Just make sure we're ready to land."
Yukikaze, relieved, asks me for directions.
All the airships follow the wyverns ahead.
After a while, the land came into view beyond the horizon
"That's amazing..."
That's the only feeling that comes to mind
It was a huge paradise
The closer we got, the more we realized how huge the land was.
And there were no ups and downs at all.
It was flat as far as the eye could see.
Most of it was covered with greenery.
There was only one place.
I could see a big gouged-out mountain in the distance.
"It doesn’t matter who is it. Is there anyone here who recognizes this terrain?"
Of course not me
I've never seen it.
In the first place, the people here have never left the empire.
"Shiro-sama, may I?"
One of the soldiers raises his hand.
"Do you know anything?"
"I haven't actually seen it, but..."
Before the collapse of the continent
There was a small country north-northeast of the center of the continent.
A land of endless plains.
With only one large mountain in sight.
But in his great-grandfather's time.
One day, the mountain collapsed with a tremendous sound and a tremendous impact.
"Collapse?"
"Yes, I don't know if it's true because I heard it from my father, but he said that the center of the mountain collapsed like water spilling out."
Yukikaze is staring at the mountain
"If that is the same mountain, then you must be right."
But there is something different about the place the soldier describes.
"But the [wilderness] was widespread in that country, right?"
"Yes, it was a land where crops could not grow properly due to the poor soil and climate."
"Ginkei!"
"Outside, the climate is extremely stable. It's just the perfect environment for plants to grow."
Did the climate change as a result of the continental collapse?
"What else do you know about it?"
"I'm sorry. Nothing more than that..."
He didn't even know what kind of country that country was.
I just knew the name of the country.
Wince, who was reading through the Empire's books, reminded me of this.
"…If I remember correctly, it was Onolgo Kingdom."
