Chapter 4: Setting Our Sights on the Ocean!

A little while after Riale unearthed the egg, I went back to the surface for lunch. I was helping myself to some leviathan meat below Yggdrasil when Riena came over and noticed the egg fossil in Riale’s tiny arms.

She leaned down curiously. “Is that an egg?”

“Riale found it in the tunnels,” I explained. “Pretty, right?”

“Y-Yes, for an egg, it’s quite a work of art.” She scrutinized the object. “It seems too small to be a murder bird. What species might it be?”

“Uh, well...it’s probably a fossil. I found it buried with bird skeletons inside the rocks. It’s probably inedible and long dead by this point.”

“I see... That aside, I’m surprised you discovered something like this underground. I can’t believe it made it through without even a crack in its shell.”

“Right?” I nodded. “And it’s so beautiful and flawlessly white.” During my speech, Riale hugged the egg to their stomach before curling up and dozing off. Noticing that, I added, “Riale seems to love it. Well, finders keepers, so I’ll leave it in their care.”

Riena chuckled. “Who knows? If Riale keeps warming it, maybe a baby chick might come out one day.”

I laughed. “No way.” Riena returned a mischievous grin, so she was definitely joking.

That was when Erivan showed up with an axe in each hand. His eyes lit up as he saw the egg. “Oh? Is that an egg ya have there? Do we finally have eggs on this island?”

“No. It’s just a fossil, so we can’t eat it, General,” Riena declared.

Erivan’s shoulders slumped. “Aw, that sucks... Ya got my hopes up about eatin’ an omelet after goin’ without eggs for so long. But hey, Chief. I wanna talk about somethin’, are ya free right now?”

I blinked. “You want to talk to me? Go on.”

“That Camus dude says she wants ta build somethin’ like this.” He held out a piece of paper to me. “Baris thinks it looks good, but since it’s gonna be a big project, he said it’s better to get yer permission first, Chief.”

I accepted the paper and looked over it. It was a schematic drawing of the harbor area. “Hmm, I see, I see... It’s a detailed site plan of the entire harbor, huh. She put a lot of thought into this.”

Erivan scratched his head. “I admit, I can’t make heads or tails of that thing...”

Judging from the drawing, she planned to build the harbor on the southern coastal area of Sheol, which was the direction that the cave entrance faced. First, we would build breakwaters stretching out from both sides of the coast, creating a border which sectioned off a large part of the sea, which would serve as our harbor.

In other words, we were going to create a small, artificial lake in the ocean where ships could moor safely. It wouldn’t be an actual lake, of course, since there would be an opening that connected the area of still water to the larger ocean. Inside the lake, we would build several piers, where we could tie up ships and unload baggage.
