700672 said something like that, and Stearina agreed with him.
"So, if we defeat the negative dolls, will the conflict between demons and humans stop?
Reinhard answered.

The old man said so and decided to ask the question through Ann.

"You mean ...... my master?
The 700672 closed his eyes and tried to bask in the nostalgia, but then he opened his eyes again and began to speak.
"It was about 5,000 years ago by this planet's calendar when the masters and I landed here. ....... At that time, there must have been about 1,000 masters.

Again the 700672 closed his eyes tiredly.
Neige silently pulls the covers over her body.
Reiko, Anne, and Alectus moved away from the bed for a moment.

"I think we know most of what we need to know for now, don't you?
Reiko said and Anne nodded.
"Yes. I'm sure you are interested, but we can talk about that at a later time. For now, we have to deal with the negative dolls.

After a short pause, Alexus slowly approaches the bed. Neige looks up.

"Hmmm, I see. ...... Neige, tell him. *? It's the $&D# number."
Neige walks away without hesitation, though the words she doesn't understand are mixed in. Then she silently pointed to a certain magi device. It was a different device from the one Reiko and the others had just neutralized.
"I see...this is it..."

It has three large windows and eight small windows.
"Here, do this."
Neige operated two small levers and four small buttons, and the three large windows went dark. It seems to have stopped.

Neige ran back into the small room and sat down beside No. 700672.

As I was about to leave, I asked her about something else that had just occurred to me.

"There were many traps on the way here.
"Traps?"
No. 700672 tilted his head. Anne explained about the road to here.

From a trap such as chlorine, which is new to this world, to a simple pitfall, and even a golem, I couldn't help but feel a bit disconnected.

I couldn't shake the feeling of being out of place, but now I know why.
"Was it a trap that was added after the fact, ignoring the comings and goings?"
"Probably. Moreover, they must have added it over time. The only thing that was there originally was a bulkhead.

Reiko, Ann, the old man and Jin understood.
"Oh, and then..."
As if remembering, No. 700672 added.

"If you want to go outside, look for the ceiling of the passageway leading out of the window room. There should be a shaft that leads directly to the surface. If there are fallen ones (fallers), they will probably be able to get through.
He advised us to "look for a shaft that leads directly to the surface. And then,
"Good luck with the Fallen."

With these words, the 700672 closed its eyes again.
"I'm sure I'll be back."
Reiko gently patted Neige on the head and left the room. Neige may be older than Reiko, but she does not care.

As the three of them leave the white room, the door closes without a sound.
"I guess a homunculus doesn't need to eat.
Reiko muttered.

"Yes, lady. Perhaps. It can exist only with free magical element (ether), can't it?"
"If that's the case, the "Aether Stampede" may have had a great impact on the homunculus as well. The reason why they stopped waking up is also ......."
Anne stopped as she turned to go back the way she had come.

"Certainly. But what should we do?
At that moment, I received a call from the old man.

The old man said that he would send 10 lands and 10 craftsmen (smiths) by transporter after this.
The role of the craftsmen (smiths) is, of course, to analyze the magical tools and devices (magi devices) here.

Alectus had a quizzical look on his face because he had no idea that Reiko and Anne were making such a communication, but it was not yet time to inform them, and the group left the window room.

Alectus climbs up to the ceiling along the railing. He touches what appears to be a hatch, and it opens, just like the door to the white room.

The walls of the shaft, which was about one meter in diameter, had a spiral staircase. It was about 50 centimeters wide, but we could manage to climb it by turning our bodies sideways.

After climbing up the stairs for about 20 meters, we came to a small room about 3 meters square. When the three of us stood in the room, the hatch of the shaft was closed.
Reiko and Anne, referring to Jin's knowledge, guessed that this small room was the so-called airlock.
"Probably, the other side of this door is already outside.

Once outside, Alectus looked back, wondering if he would be able to visit again.
The room was empty and deserted, but for some reason he felt a sense of regret.
"Mr. Alectus, please..."

Anne's voice brings him back to himself, and he touches the door.
The door to this room opened with that touch.
The cold air from outside poured in. Alectus adjusts the collar of his dress. His breath is white. The temperature seems to be below freezing.

It is night now, and it is pitch black.
"Capricorn 1 is over there."
Reiko, who had been looking through the darkness, pointed in one direction.

The three of us walked in that direction.
The wards that had been so difficult to get around were now gone, and the three of them were able to return to Capricorn 1 without any problems.
