"Um... Klee seems to have forgotten a little where the exact location Klee transmitted to back then was, meow..."

(=＜=)

After staring at the Sheikah Slate this way and that for a long time trying to recall, the little Ragdoll cat scratched the back of her head in embarrassment and said.

According to the instructions on the treasure map, the place where the treasure was actually buried was in fact an island with no name, or rather, an island that didn’t have a name back then.

To find that island, one had to first go to the island where the treasure map was stored to record the magnetic force, and then, according to the options given on the treasure map, cross four islands in a row before arriving.

However, Klee Meow had transmitted alone at that time, and Felynes couldn’t light up the dynamic map of the Hunter log, so they could only return to the area where they had tested the Sheikah Slate transmission function back then, and then determine the approximate location based on Klee Meow memory.

And then...

They got stuck on the very first step.

In fact, if they really wanted to determine the target, Sherwin and the others weren’t without options, and it was even very simple—just let Klee Meow point at random on the map relying on her luck.

But by doing this, the meaning of "treasure hunting" would be lost, so every time she got a treasure map, Klee Meow would voluntarily give up using the "rely on luck" skill.

Moreover, because the little Ragdoll cat didn’t want to "rely on luck", her good luck would also temporarily "fail" with a high probability at times like this...

Until Klee Meow completely lost her patience and didn’t want to play anymore.

Furthermore, from a long time ago, all the treasure maps that Sherwin and the others obtained were given to Klee Meow and the other little ones to solve. Experienced and intelligent members like Robin, Huamei, and Haibara Meow would basically not offer any help either.

Simply put, every treasure hunt was a large-scale team-building activity belonging to the little brat cats.

"Then Klee, do you remember seeing any landmarks or anything relatively special on that island at that time?"

Bonney, who had been invited to join this "team-building activity," immediately inquired.

"Mmm... let Klee think..."

(=ω=)

The little Ragdoll cat rubbed her own little head, wrinkling her little face as she fell into deep thought once more.

"It feels like I didn’t see anything special at that time meow. That box was also found by Klee from a very ordinary cave meow... Oh right!"

∑(=ΦДΦ=)

The little Ragdoll cat suddenly thought of something and slapped her paws together abruptly. "That cave was exposed by the shockwaves when Klee was blasting fish, so there should be traces left by the Jumpy Dumpties on the shore meow!"

"Hm? How did you end up using Jumpy Dumpties to blast fish?"

Sherwin noticed the blind spot.

"Ehehee~ Klee took the wrong bomb again meow~"

(==)

The little Ragdoll cat smiled cheekily and stuck out her tongue.

"..."

Sherwin opened his mouth, originally wanting to tell Klee Meow not to make the designs of the bombs so similar, or at least to differentiate them by shape so they wouldn’t be easily mixed up.

But remembering that every time Klee Meow mixed up her bombs, there always seemed to be unexpected gains, Sherwin swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Compared to those unexpected gains, being accidentally caught in the blast radius, as well as minor environmental and property damage, didn’t seem like an unacceptable price to pay.

With a direction in mind, trying to determine the initial island Klee Meow had found became very simple. There weren’t many islands in this area to begin with, so Sherwin and the others quickly discovered a small island with a noticeably chipped edge.

"According to the device made by Sister Purah, this island takes about seven hours to fully store its magnetic charge."

Shirahoshi looked at the Log Pose: Sheikah Version and said to Klee Meow and the others.

A long time ago, Purah Meow and Haibara Meow had tried to see if they could speed up the rate at which the Log Pose stored its magnetic charge.

After all, the time required for some islands to record magnetism could even take several years, which was simply too long.

Unfortunately, in the end, they were only able to create an auxiliary device that could estimate the time needed for the magnetism to be fully stored.

However, a time of seven hours was already considered among the faster batch among the numerous islands, so Klee Meow and the other energetic Felynes didn’t mind.

Instead, they laughingly scrambled into the island, intending to see if they could find anything else.

Meanwhile, Sherwin didn’t stay idle either. After revealing the map, he, Robin, Baby-5, and a few Felynes who weren’t participating in the treasure hunt came together to the cave where Klee Meow had obtained the treasure map.

"This place looks like a... ritual altar, Meow?"

(=ω=)

(=ω=)

Haibara Meow looked around at the layout inside the cave, then whispered softly next to Sherwin ear.

"To be precise, this place might have originally been something like a temple."

Robin, the professional, pointed to a brick on the ground that was mostly buried and carved with strange patterns, analyzing: "Perhaps due to an earthquake or some other reason, it was buried underground, and because of Klee Meow bombs, the exit was shaken loose."

Well... this kind of premise, which originally sounded very far-fetched, seemed inexplicably reasonable once it was linked to Klee Meow.

"In addition... Vodka, if you destroy the ruins here, I’ll have Haibara lock you in a barrel for a month."

Robin smiled without sincerity as she looked toward the Husky, who had sneaked into the corner of the wall at some unknown point. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

At this moment, it had already raised a front paw, intending to dig something up.

"You stupid dog! Get back here right now meow!"

(=`Д=)

"Awoo—!"

After instinctively talking back, Vodka immediately ran back obediently to Sherwin feet.

However, Haibara Meow was still not appeased. She jumped down from Sherwin, aiming a flurry of cat punches straight at Vodka dog head.

To avoid being locked in a barrel again, the small red Husky honestly let the little kitten bully it, making aggrieved whimpering sounds.

Unfortunately, because of the Husky naturally mocking face, Vodka trick of playing pitiful did not have any effect. Instead, it made Haibara Meow angrier and angrier as she fought.

Anyway, elemental beasts are not afraid of physical damage, so Sherwin did not stop Haibara Meow. Instead, along with Baby-5, he went forward to help Robin collect and rub some of the text and patterns in this ruin.

Seven hours flew by in a flash. Urged on by Klee Meow and the other little ones, Sherwin and his group quickly rushed to the next island.

The subsequent islands had nothing special about them. They were all very ordinary human settlements, and even their customs and habits were quite similar.

Sherwin guessed that before the sea level rose drastically eight hundred years ago, these islands, which were not far apart, actually belonged to the same country.

Perhaps because of this, the time required for each island to record the log pose was not long, with the longest island taking just over a day.

Therefore, it took Sherwin and his group less than three days to arrive at the island drawn on the treasure map.

This was a relatively large island. Although it couldn’t compare to Alabasta, that giant island which was almost entirely desert, it was still about one-third the size of Alabasta.

But miraculously, despite being such a large piece of land, the population on it was very small. Apart from a town about the size of Foosha Village established near the coast, the rest of the areas were undeveloped wastelands and forests.

Even if there were no valuable local products here, relying solely on these vast land resources could attract the covetousness of some pirates. Yet, oddly enough, there were no pirates stationed here, nor was any pirate flag raised...

It was very strange.

In addition...

"This name... hiss... why do I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before."

Sherwin looked at the wooden sign at the entrance of the town that read "Welcome-to-Trans-Town", having a vague impression of it.

Trans-Am? 00 Gundam?

No, no, it definitely not that...

Could it be a place that had appeared in the original manga or anime?

Just then, Robin walked over and said to Sherwin, "I deciphered the remaining text from the cave ruins earlier. The thing enshrined in that temple doesn’t seem to be anything good. The words ’Lord of Blood’ and ’Dark Night Monarch’ appear very frequently... You’d better remind Klee and the others to be careful."

Although she said this, there was not much worry on Robin face.

Are you kidding? Even if it really is the Lord of Blood or the Dark Night Monarch, so what? Can it take a hit from Klee Meow "Little Girl"?

And at this moment, Sherwin finally remembered what this place was...

No wonder that guy Morgans said he had never heard of the place called Sleeping Old Town. Who knows which version terrible translation turned Trans-Town into a completely unrelated name like Sleeping Old Town, and it even became widely circulated.
