[k] ＠Mash So this is the Scandinavian Lostbelt...[sr]Looking at it again, it's all very... [k] ？1：Strange. ＠Mash Yes. I think so too. [k] ＠Mash Ice and snow need extreme cold, but fire is one of the hottest things in the world. Yet somehow, here they are, coexisting. [k] ＠Mash To see two such fundamentally different things mixed together like this... I don't know what to call it other than strange. [k] ＠Mash There doesn't seem to be anything here that can burn,[sr]but there's the fire, floating above the mountains... [k] ＠Mash If this isn't from Mystics, I don't know what is! [k] ＠Fou Fou! [k] ？2：Beautiful. ＠Mash Yes...that's true.[sr]It's definitely a beautiful landscape. [k] ＠Mash Ice and snow need extreme cold, but fire is one of the hottest things in the world. Yet somehow, here they are, coexisting. [k] ＠Mash I've never seen anything like it before. [k] ＠Mash But, at the same time...it's kind of bizarre. [k] ＠Mash There doesn't seem to be anything here that can burn,[sr]but there's the fire, floating above the mountains... [k] ＠Mash This scenery may be beautiful,[sr]but it's also incomprehensibly Mystic... [k] ＠Fou Fou... [k] ？！ ＠Mash ...The Ollerus Boards are great at getting around, since they can even go up inclines, but when you move at high speeds, you really won't be able to take stock of your surroundings as much. [k] ＠Mash Now that we're taking a break to look around,[sr]there are several things I've noticed. [k] ＠Mash For example, the amount of fallen snow. I read that Scandinavia actually isn't all that snowy, except for Norway. [k] ＠Mash But here, in this Lostbelt...[sr]The mountains are frozen over, even the trees are... [k] ＠Mash No, wait... Not trees, just ice shaped like conifers...? [k] ？1：Does this mean there aren't any plants here? ？2：It does look like there's only fire, ice, and snow here. ？！ ＠Mash It certainly seems that way. At least, at this point... [k] ＠Mash ...[sr]... [k] ＠Mash Maybe this means there's a different force at work here. Something very different from what caused Russia's ice age. [k] ＠Mash I remember hearing these Lostbelts are alternate, hypothetical versions of history. [k] ＠Mash What must this world's history have been[sr]like for it to have this sort of scenery...?

[k] ？1：Looks that way. ？2：I'm kind of relieved to see that. ＠Mash Right. The fact that birds can survive in this world is a good sign. [k] ？！ ＠Fou Fou, fooou! [k] ＠Mash Fou?

We're currently on the Scandinavian Peninsula, right on top of what used to be Lake Vättern in southern Sweden. [k] ？1：Got it. [charaFace A 12] ＠Mash ...[sr]... [k] ？2：Hang on. We're on a lake? [charaFace A 12] ＠Mash ...Yes, that's right.[sr]At least, we would be in Proper Human History... [k] ？！ [charaFace A 7] ＠Mash Lake Vättern is an enormous lake believed to have taken shape after Earth's most recent ice age. It's said to be almost two thousand squre kilometers. [k] [charaFace A 4] ＠Mash But, in this Lostbelt, we're obviously standing[sr]on a mountain range covered in snow...
