"Help?" All the Explorers have been summoned; what help could you possibly offer? Give away weapons for free?"
"No, that kind of help wouldn't be significant, and besides, our weapons are nowhere near as good as those from Hope Island."
"What I mean by helping is establishing contact with the natives of Earth Sea's surface, getting them to contribute to the search for the Darkness."
"Natives?" Charles was taken aback, with all sorts of bizarre monsters flashing through his mind. "Do you know many natives?"
"Of course, such as the Heike Clan, those giants are willing to help. Although extinction doesn't affect them, they also live on the island, and if the sea level rises, they will all die just the same."
"The Heike Clan..." Charles's frown deepened. His prior experiences in the East Sea had not left him with a good impression of these giants.
"And it's not just the Heike Clan, other natives are also willing to help. Earth Sea is their home, too."
