I was the first to stand guard.

Kayden and Enoch were sleeping on their sides, and Archbishop Ruzef was lying next to Enoch. Diego curled up a little farther away and fell asleep as well.

I sat near the fireplace and stared blankly at the blazing fire, then brought in a few more pieces of wood that Diego had cut to keep the fire burning.

Even though there's a bed, there's no fireplace on the second floor, so it must be cold......

I was so sleepy that I got up from my seat and quietly left the hut. It was to keep me awake, but it didn't seem to help much.

At this point, I have to draw a map using a compass. In the crossbody bag taken out of the backpack, there was a palm-sized notebook and a ballpoint pen. It was a very useful item.

When I open the door of the hut, there is a wooden deck at the entrance. I sat down on the stairs in front of it and took out a bunker map, a notebook, a compass, and a ballpoint pen.

Bunker

I stared intently at the words 'Bunker' written on the north island.

As with 'Alea', it was also written in the alphabet. Maybe Alea is a Westerner, and this island is an experimental island that only appears in movies or TV shows.

But then it makes no sense for people from other worlds to be on this island.

If I build this hypothesis, that one doesn't make sense, and if I build that one, this one doesn't make sense.

'I'm going crazy.'

I looked at the bunker map, drew it in my notebook, and then marked east, west, north, and south with the help of a compass. Then I drew the location of the hut along with the location of the bunker.

There were two mountains on the south island.

After passing through the mountains where I had been together with Enoch and Kayden, we found a hut just before crossing the next mountain, so it seems that this place where we are now is located in the middle of the island.

I looked again at the bunker map drawn on the fabric and noticed something peculiar.

Now I see that the path to the north island and the east end of the south island are connected by a bridge.

Then I climbed up the hut for a while. Of course, no bridge could be seen. I stared intently at the bridge connecting the north and south islands on the map.

"Who made this bridge......?"

I put the ballpoint pen to my chin and pondered.

"Anyway, that's fine, it's better."

I also drew the bridge, then closed the notebook.

"What are you doing?"

"Wtf, you scared me!"

I was startled and got up hastily. Thanks to that, the things I put on my lap fell all over.

The surprised Ruzef looked at me blankly.

"I've been thinking about it for a while, but what kind of noble lady swears so easily......"

His gaze slowly turned to the things that had fallen down the stairs. I hurriedly put them in the crossbody bag.

'You didn't see the map, did you?'

I have no talent for acting. I'm not good at lying either. At this rate, even if I am suspected of being the culprit who kidnapped everyone, I have nothing to say.
