Mio’s eyes gleamed, and a faint, excited smile curved the corner of his lips.

"If it’s really a trap... then it’s terrifying."

"All the secrets are on that final island... Seems like once we return, I’ll have to prioritize collecting the red Poneglyphs as well," Mio murmured to himself before shaking his head and snapping back to the present.

Eight hundred years was simply too distant.

Before long, the group reached a nearby ruin.
