In the pitch black darkness, a small ball of light appeared and illuminated the area. Dimly reflected in the light was the image of Linos, King of Agartha. He looked around carefully and slowly.

I don't see any sign of people. Shall we do ...... then?

He turns around and mutters these words. He looked at the emperor of the Mideast.

They were in a large hall in the palace of the Kingdom of Miedai. Needless to say, this country had been invaded by the Kingdom of Thana, and its entire territory was covered with stones. Thanks to the wards that Rinos had quickly put up, the city had managed to escape destruction, but it was no longer a place for people to live because of the complete lack of sunlight.

However, having won the previous battle, Linos proposed to the emperor to remove the stones that filled the skies of Miedai and revive the country. The emperor was delighted and thanked Linos with tears in his eyes.

"Well, shall we do it?

Linos closes his eyes slowly as he says this. The emperor watches him with bated breath. He is the only one watching over him. The revival of the Mideast had been the long-cherished wish of all the inhabitants of this land, and there was no end to the number of people who wanted to be present at the moment of its resurrection. However, the emperor stubbornly refused to allow anyone to participate, saying that he would see it through alone.

He had a strong desire not to endanger the people living in his country twice. Originally, Midaiguni was built in a hollowed-out place in the mountain. Therefore, the sky was covered with high, precipitous mountains. Tana's army broke down the stone walls and reclaimed the country, but after much investigation, the mountain seemed to be made of very fragile stone, and it was not possible to simply raise the wards. There was even a possibility that the mountain might collapse from where the wards were raised, and the emperor wanted to avoid any harm to the people of the country, no matter how small it might be.

"U......n......"

As soon as Linos's voice escapes, the inside of the palace begins to tremble. He closes his eyes and focuses his attention, mumbling something. Then a small, earth-shaking sound comes from the surroundings.

"Father, Mother, please protect ...... us."

The emperor is muttering in a small voice. Linos does not respond to his voice, but just concentrates his magical power.

Suddenly, the palace shook vertically. It feels as if it is being pushed up from below. Then Linos lets out a slow breath, and at the same time, the shaking stops.

"It's ...... been shaking a lot. ......"

"Yes, that's right. We raised the wards, but the stones and the wards inevitably scratched the mountain. That's why it was shaking in small increments.

"What was that thrusting shaking you just saw at ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's ...... I don't know. But, my Lord, the rocks in this mountain are more fragile than I expected. Even if we raise the wards and remove the rocks from the sky, there is a possibility that the mountain will collapse again.

The emperor nodded broadly at Linos's words.

I don't know if he told you this, but it is quite common in our country for mountains to collapse suddenly. It has not happened since the reign of Maro, but three emperors ago, a great mountain collapsed in the eastern part of the country, killing many people.

"My Lord, how is it possible for you to live in such a dangerous country?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

That's it. The reason we risk so much to live in this country is because the stones that we can find here, these fragile stones, are the raw material for making the Prill Stone and the Demon Sucking Stone.

"Hah ......"

The country has been expanding its territory by chipping away at the slopes of the mountains. In other words, they have been building houses in the vacant places while carving away the mountains on the sides. However, this has gone too far, and it has become like a magma pool of a volcano. Probably, the vertical shaking that just occurred earlier was caused by the mountain shaking as it tried to force itself up against the ceiling of the dome, which was caught by the boundary. The wards were put up as quickly as possible, but it was really a complicated situation.

"Let's see, it's ......, so it's ...... yeah?　And then ...... Oh, no. The stones flow out like sediment. Yeah, it's hard to do."

I visualize the shape of the mountain and the country in my mind, checking the map and trying to figure out how to raise the boundary so that the stones in the sky and the mountain do not collapse. The logic is simple, but it is complicated by the fact that the shape of the boundary has to be changed each time. Thinking about such a thing, I finally reached my limit.

"...... sir, may I bring reinforcements?"

"Reinforcements?　If that's what you want, you can bring them to me."

I said, "Okay," and moved from there. And soon I came back with reinforcements.

Yes. This is my wife, Considine.

It was Sidi I brought. I knew that with her brilliant mind and spark, she would be able to solve my problem. As soon as Sidhi heard what I had to say, he put his index finger under his chin as usual and started to think about something.

"Excuse me, could you give me a pen and paper, please? And, Your Highness, may I have a look at this country?

"Ah, ah, ...... that's fine with me."

At the emperor's words, Sidhi bowed his head.

After that, I rode with Sidi from corner to corner of the Mideast. We set up lights all over the country, and since I had no legs, I brought Ilimo all the way from my residence in the capital and rode her around on land and in the air.

Sidi's lucidity was outstanding, and she began to draw a sort of three-dimensional map of the country on a large quantity of paper. Her memory was astonishing: she remembered places she had been once and drew the map almost as fast as if she had written it in a single stroke. She also collected some stones and observed them with some kind of small loupe.

"I understand. I understand roughly. It's okay. It's okay, but we have to be very precise."

Five hours of running around. Sidi muttered these words in an indifferent tone. Then, using a three-dimensional map, she carefully showed me how to change the shape of the wards above us in order to make them rise effectively.

Following her instructions, I let the wards rise, changing their shapes as I went. Sometimes, "No! or "Again!" I was sometimes almost brokenhearted when I was warned by a voice I had never heard before, but it was worth the time and care I took to raise the stone slowly, and all the stones that had covered the sky of Midaiguni were removed.

"Wow!"

The moment we saw the sky, we shouted at the same time. To our surprise, there was a magnificent full moon. We gasped at its brilliant beauty.

"Kwang Pak would have been so happy."

The emperor let out a laugh when he said so. It seems that Kwang Pak wants to return to his own country, and the emperor seems to be willing to accept his request.

"Besides, I wanted to show this view to Oku and his late son ......."

No, my lord. You will see this view many times in the future.

"Yes."

When he looked back at us, he had a truly happy expression on his face.

Later, we learned that the stone from this country, when crushed into powder and sprinkled with water, becomes incredibly hard when it dries. The Mideast would later turn its finances around by selling this stone.

"Well, let's go home. Ah~ I'm tired after using my head and body all day long.

The emperor nodded with a smile as I stretched out. Next to him, Sidhi also bows his head to me, saying thank you for your hard work. I call out to Sidhi.

"It's been a while since I've had a good night's sleep, so I'm tired, Sadie. So, please take care of me today."

"What?　Um,...... it's ...... hi,...... I'll try my best,......"

Sadie turns red and looks down. I just wanted her to go back to the house and step on the soles of my feet with her feet. ....... Later I heard that she had misheard "heal me" as "do something dirty" and we had a good laugh about it later, but that's our secret.

The moon kept wrapping us in its soft light.
