(MC POV)
We had set off from the harbour at sunrise, all of us dressed in our swimming attire. It seems like the girls had brought various different swimsuits that they could change into at any time.
The sloop was captained by the four youkai maids who seemed extremely at ease in controlling the vessel.
The island itself was a short distance away from the mainland, the sloop reaching it in about half an hour and it was larger than I thought it would be.
The thick forest in its centre showed no signs of civilization and sailing around the island took us close to an hour or two.
Yesterday, while we had been preparing to return back to the villa at sunset, there was the unmistakable feeling of an Elemental Quark burst, suggesting someone, or maybe even something, was doing something big on this island.
Yet now when we're so close to it, it felt completely normal without any trace of rampaging Quarks.
Very big fishie indeed. How should we cook it?
I might be taking a one week break from writing this and use the time to concentrate on the side stories.
