"Help? All the Explorers have already been assembled. What kind of help could you possibly offer? Are you going to give us weapons for free?"
"No, that kind of help wouldn't mean much, and our current weapons are nowhere near as good as the ones on Hope Island."
"The help I'm talking about is contacting the natives of the Earth's surface and the Abyss-Sea and getting them to contribute to the search for the Darkness."
"Natives?" Charles was stunned. All kinds of bizarre monsters flashed through his mind. "Do you know a lot of natives?"
"Of course. For example, the Heike Clan—those Giants are willing to help. Although the death ray doesn't affect them, they also live on the islands. If the sea level rises, they'll all die just the same."
"Heike Clan…" Charles's brow furrowed even tighter. His previous experiences in the East Sea had not left him with a good impression of those Giants.
