After a few days of traveling, they'd finally arrived at the first beach. It was a small tropical island. In total, there didn't seem to be many people. There was just a small and simple fishing village.
Along the coast, there were several wooden huts with thatch roofs. People went out in small wooden boats with nets. The water near the island was extremely clear, so one could see many fishes swimming about, along with the gorgeous plants and rock formations.
Hikari and her crew anchored the ship some distance away from the shore. The maids she summoned would remain behind, while her normal party disembarked. They entered a small wooden boat that they lowered into the water. Kurayami and Mizuko paddled them towards the shore.
Along the way, an eager and curious fisherman paddled towards them. Once he was close enough, he smiled at them. "Good morning, travelers. You've arrived on a big ship, but what brings you to our small island?"
