Coral Island Adventure!

So, let me get this straight.

You, Anis, Mary, and I are in charge of exploring this island, right?

Yes.

So you're telling me while everyone else is having fun at the beach, we've got to go on a reconnaissance mission?

... Yes.

When everyone else is having the time of their lives, we've gotta schlep all over this island?

...

This is so unfair!

Yeah, totally unfair!

We'll explore lightly, so there'll be plenty of free time during our exploration.

But we can't head back without conducting any research.

Ugh... I get where you're coming from, but that doesn't make this suck any less.

Hehe. I understand how you feel.

But wouldn't it be better for there to be many Ark candidates if things were to get nasty?

So, put our hearts into exploring the island and then take it easy together afterward.

... Fine. It's not like we have a choice, anyway.

What exactly do we have to do?

We will wander around the island and jot down what we see,

such as unique flora and fauna, topographical features, and other things of that nature.

We simply have to record as much as possible.

Looks like it's time to unveil my hidden talent for drawing!

We can just take photos, you know.

One shouldn't rely too much on technology.

What are you talking about?

Hey, could I ask you guys for a favor?

... What is it?

I love taking pictures,

but it'd be kinda tough scouring the entire island for a good photo spot.

Can you mark any nice spots you come across

while you're out exploring?

What will you give us in return?

I'll send you the photos I take.

Are you going to touch them up?

Hehe, sure. I'll be sure to spend extra time on your photos.

All right, you've got yourself a deal!

Be sure to edit mine too.

I didn't think you'd be into that.

Sure, what kind of feel are you going for?

Firepower! Make it look like there's a blazing trail of fire behind me.

I... don't think my editing skills are quite at that level.

Oh, really? That's too bad.

If we find any special locations, we'll let you know.

You can head there, take some photos, and send them to us.

Sound fair?

Sounds good!

Some honest-to-goodness exploration! How exciting!

Following the trail of those who came before us. It's like something out of a movie.

I know, right? It feels like we're really gonna head out exploring.

... That's the plan.

I'm gonna go fishing.

... Did you hear me? I'm going fishing.

Don't you want to know more?

It's not because the fishing game I tried happened to be super fun...

Fish aren't something you can catch whenever you want.

You have to be patient.

And while you're waiting, you get plenty of time to think about all sorts of things.

Since olden times, they've said fishing is about looking for answers to questions.

It's certainly time-consuming, that much can be said.

I intend on using that time to make plans for my future.

Wh-what do you mean?

...

Why not?

...

Okay, fine.

I'll admit that I've gone through life without a plan.

I've been lazy and overly absorbed in my games.

But this time, I'm going to catch every

single

fish

on this entire island!

That's my plan

and I'll show you

just how much I've changed!

...

Now, if you'll excuse me...
