 Across the mountains, across the sea.
 After about three days and three nights of travel, Allen and his friends finally arrived at the island.

"Tocchan! I'm glad it's sunny.

 Eruca was the first to jump off the boat.
 At the harbor, many ships were anchored, and the cloudless blue sky was filled with the cries of sea birds.
 From the harbor, there was a gentle slope toward the center of the island, where colorful buildings lined the streets, forming a bustling cityscape.

 Beyond the streets, there are many huge black buildings - a familiar sight that Allen can only sigh at.

I'm not sure I'll be going home this early. ......

 This is the first time in three years that he has returned home since he was fired from his teaching job at the age of 18 and left for good.
 It's a little complicated, but I'll take Charlotte's hand.

"Come on, Charlotte. Watch your step.
"Yes, sir.

 Charlotte stepped off the boat unsteadily.
 There was a hint of exhaustion on her face, but it was probably not all due to the unfamiliarity of the journey.
 He looked around the island and gulped.

This is the island where Allen and his friends' school is located: ...... Is that the black building on the hill by any chance the school?
"It is a school, yes. That's a dormitory for the students.
"Oh, that big building is a dormitory......! It's a great school after all.
Yeah.

 Allen looked around the harbor. In the midst of the crowd of people, he saw a few people in black robes just like Allen. There were also an inordinate number of young people. After all, this island is--

"After all, this whole island is Athena Academy of Magic.
"......?

 Here on Athena Island, it's literally a school town.
 I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not, but I have.
 In the event you're looking for the best way to get the most out of your wedding, then you'll want to look at a few of these.

 When I explained this to Charlotte, she rolled her eyes a little and nodded her head.

Charlotte rolled her eyes and nodded her head, "So you have a school on an island and people come to visit?
"Well, it's a remote island with a nice climate. Well, it's a remote island with a nice climate, so it's a good place to get away from the crowd and stretch your wings.
...... "Avoiding attention?

 Then Charlotte looked around quietly.
 The harbor was crowded with people. She looked around, looking for someone she recognized.

I wonder if that's why Natalia came to this island. ......?
"...... Come on.

 Allen could only shake his head loosely.
 Lu and Goussetsu also came down from the boat and nodded their heads.

"Natalia is your mother's sister that you learned about in the boat, right?
But isn't she supposed to be in a neighboring country?
"Well, she should be, but ......

 Charlotte looked at Eruca with a hard face.
 Charlotte looked at Eruca with a hard face, and Eruca smiled and said casually, "Yes.

"Yes. Natalia is here. She is here alone, with no other family or servants.
I've heard that, but ...... can you please explain the details to me?

 A nobleman's daughter comes to a remote island in another country alone, unaccompanied. I'm sure there will be one or two complications that will pop up.
 So I asked Eruca a lot of questions along the way, but she insisted that she would tell me when we got there, and I still hadn't heard much.
 Eruka smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

I'll tell you more at home. I'll tell you more at home.
I'll tell you all about it at home. ......
"Home?

 Allen frowned blatantly and shrugged his shoulders.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

I'm not sure if it's ...... Allen's and Eruca's parents' house!
Yes. Mom and Dad are waiting for you.
I have to say hello to them. But...
I'm sure Charlotte will be fine. I'm sure your brother would feel awkward.
Oh, you mean Mr. Allen at ......?
Yeah, yeah.

 I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it.

You have heard that you were fired from our school three years ago, right?
Yes, I did. That's why you went on the road, isn't it?
Yes. But the correct answer is that I had a big fight with my dad at ...... and ran away from home.
"Big fight?
