I had just returned from the Federation after an unexpected visit from King Yoshi and Xiao Xiao. Their surprise appearance had been a pleasant one, a reminder that even in these turbulent times, friendships endured. Now, it would soon be my turn to visit them—an opportunity to reconnect and finally fulfill my long-planned journey across the regions.
Sado Island, on the other hand, was thriving more than ever. With each passing day, its people grew stronger, evolving in both power and resilience. Even in my absence, they had proven capable of defending their home from various threats. Seeing their progress filled me with pride. My promise to the late Lady Kie had been fulfilled—her dream for Sado Island was now a reality.
