"What the heck? If I remember right, Orumi Island is over by Izu, isn't it?"
"Sure, there's an ocean there too, but isn't that practically next door to Tengu City? What a downgrade!"

Apparently noticing Shido's predicament as well, Lingmeng couldn't help laughing at the sight of him standing alone.
"Ohoho, Shido, don't tell me you have no friends to group up
