It seems we haven't strayed as far as I thought. This island is actually somewhat close to the Christmas island, as Beckman-san postulated. According to the townsfolk, this is the next stop. However, the Christmas island is opposite of the direction we are being guided. I asked the locals what they thought of our situation, and they said this actually happens every so often in conjunction with the appearance of one Valentino Island, which is apparently not always present. At any rate, we at least have an idea of where we are headed. I don't know how long it will take for us to reach our destination, but at least we can rule out the possibility that this was orchestrated as a trap. I worry that the Marines might still try to use it as such, despite the best efforts of the Vice-Admiral and Commodore, and therefore would ask that everyone stay sharp, but not overdo it. I look forward to seeing everyone again soon!
