As the tide recedes, a salty mist shrouds the rocks, leaving only blurred outlines against the inky blue sky. The monotonous, persistent sound of waves crashing against the shore echoes the approaching dawn. The tide surges again, foam carrying sand and gravel rushing towards the shore like the low groan of a black tortoise, bringing a moment of peace.

The first rays of dawn finally broke through the thick fog, not dazzling, but only a cool golden glow spreading across the lonely island.

The fog had not yet dissipated, turning it a pale pinkish-gold hue, cutting out tiny specks of light that landed on the shells in the intertidal zone, spreading out a hazy glow.

Lisa rubbed her dry eyes and yawned, "Ah~~ It's finally dawn!"

"This island," Huanji looked up into the depths of the island and said, "is perhaps more dangerous during the day than at night. Let's go, we need to go deeper into the island, to find fresh water there."

"Really? Isn't it more dangerous at night?" Lisa asked, somewhat puzzled.

Huanji licked her dry lips. "Beasts also need to sleep and feed their families, and we are precisely their food."

"Oh~" Lisa responded softly, not taking Huanji's words to heart, because she knew that Huanji was very capable. Although she might not be able to protect her at crucial moments, she could handle most small wild beasts.

As for large wild animals!

Then let fate decide.

Lisa has a very open-minded view of life and death.

It would be good to be alive, but if she knew she was going to die, she could accept it calmly.

It seems that yesterday's storm consumed a lot of energy, as the weather is exceptionally good today. A gentle sea breeze blows by, carrying a salty and moist feel, and it's even a little warm.

It's early spring now, and it should be quite cold, but the weather doesn't feel cold at all.

如果
If only my brother were here, he would definitely be able to explain why this happened.
Huanji, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped, covered her forehead with her hand, and staggered as if out of control.

"What's wrong?" Lisa quickly stepped forward to ask.

Huanji waved her hand and said, "It's nothing!" After saying that, Huanji continued forward.

Just now, a clear image suddenly flashed into my mind.

This time it wasn't Himiko's memory, but an exceptionally realistic scene.

There is a group of foreigners in the picture.

They were Westerners, perhaps Germans, perhaps Irish, but definitely not of East Asian descent.

They were dressed in neat military uniforms and looked well-trained. The uniforms had double lightning bolt SS insignia on the collar corners, but no shoulder boards or other markings.

However, judging from appearance alone, he should be German.

Because of the nose!
She had previously chatted with Xu San, who had specifically mentioned that Germans have very distinctive noses.

Big nose!
But why does such a scene appear in my mind?

Confused, Princess Genki tried asking Himiko, but found that the queen did not respond.

Unlike her usual deep sleep, this time it felt as if she had gone out for a walk.

Correct!
It's just a stroll, not running away from home!
Huanji gently pressed her forehead a few more times, feeling increasingly strange, which seemed to be related to not sleeping last night.

If you have the chance, be sure to take a nap!
After taking a few more steps forward, Huanji asked, "Lisa, do all Germans have big noses?"

"Hmm?" Lisa frowned, not immediately understanding the meaning behind Huanji's words. (End of Chapter)
