“Yongan Island has been floating in the sky for almost four hundred years! It’s still perfectly fine, how could it just fall down like that!” Hikari retorted indignantly. “Besides, Annie, aren’t you a young lady? I heard from Sister Yao that you have a very high status. Shouldn’t you be living that kind of high and mighty life? Many people are envious of you!”
"I don't care! No matter what... I just don't like it!"
In the midst of this argument, a brilliant light suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.
Like fireworks rising from the ground, or a shooting star falling from its reflection, that brilliant color rises slowly from the earth, constantly approaching the distant stars in the sky.
The accelerating light was initially a vibrant green, the color of the wind. But that lovely green quickly faded, first turning into a dull yellow, then gradually tinged with orange-red, and finally becoming a dark red with white smudges at the edges, even the initial speed was gone.
The light had traveled halfway, but it had exhausted all its strength and could no longer go on.

This is an issue I'm not familiar with either.
Even when we asked Joe before, we only received a confused reply: "No one has ever asked us how to get to Yong'an Island. There are no mages, and no other merchants. Even when we provided price details, no one paid any attention."
