"It seems that the minimum necessary maintenance is being done."

"I'll be fine. I've been out a lot lately.

 Saki, who had been an indoor person since she joined Goose, seemed to have been doing a lot of research outside.

 About 10 meters down was a landing with a door.

"Now what are we going to do? "Well, what should we do? Should we open the door and investigate this level, or should we go further down?

 LeConaus turned around to get everyone's opinion.

"Well, I think we should go through the levels in order."

 Since there was no complicated lock on this door, we were able to open it immediately.

"Well, I don't know how many years it's been here, but it's amazing that it hasn't been corroded.

 Besides, there was no dust on the floor. This is proof that the air conditioning is working properly.

 Only the lights have deteriorated and are dimmed, but it seems to be enough to be the result of superior technology.

"The air-conditioning system is located near the surface, and it is bringing fresh air into the basement," Jin explains.

 Jin explains the structure. That's why you can't feel the movement of magic on this level.

 After opening the door, we see a small, spacious room of about 10 tatami mats, with a door at the end of it.

"Is this a room like a buffer zone?"

 Guth looked at the writing next to the door,

"Yeah, this level seems to be a living area," he said.

 He said. He was now able to decipher the <> script.

 As his research progressed, he learned that there are different kinds of characters and languages used by the <>.

 Whether this is an ethnic difference on earth, a dialect, or some other intention is still unknown.

 The letters and words used at the site are about the same as the difference between written and spoken Japanese, as an example.

"A residential area or ......"

 LeConaus decided that there were likely to be cultural discoveries, but not technological ones.

 So,

"Let me and my brother check this place out. Jin-dono and Zion-san, please work on the lower level.

 He suggests that they should go to the lower level.

 Since there seemed to be no danger, Jin had no objection. Nevertheless, he decided to have Craftsman (Smith)1 accompany them in case something happened.

 In other words, the brothers Reconaus and Tonelius and Smith1 explored the hierarchy of this supposed residential area.

 Jin, Hannah, Saki, Goose, Zion, Marikka, Reiko and Nurse Alpha went downstairs.

 After about 15 meters, they reached a dead end and a door. Goose read the words on the door.

"......What is it? <<
 This is an important equipment.

 It seems to say so.

"This seems to be the technical hierarchy."

"This seems to be the technical hierarchy." "If so, security might still be alive. We have to be careful.

Yeah, you're right.

 Jin is getting ready without Hannah's help.

"Reiko, what about the other side of the door?"

"Yes, father. ...... There are no moving magical tools or machines. There seems to be no flow of mana.

"Good."

 If there is no flow of mana at all, it means that there are no magi-machines in the standby state.

 If they don't start moving unless we <<> them, we can say that there is little danger.

 However, with Reiko and the barrier projector in their bracelets, it would take a great deal of technology to put them in danger.

 Jin, however, remains on his guard and carefully inspects the door.

"Hmmm... ......... it seems that without some kind of password, the security system will be activated."

"Password, sir?"

"Yes, that's right. ...... should we ask Reiko to take care of this?"

Yes, I'll take care of it.

 Reiko put her right palm on the door and connected the information linkage (pass) by magic power.

"...... is indeed asking for a password."

 Then, Reiko connects the pass with the old man at the same time. In this way, she can borrow Lao-kun's information processing capability.

 The old man begins to analyze.

 The alphabet of the Ars world consists of 26 letters and 10 numbers. There are many special characters, but we will start with 105 common ones.

 The "Mere Old Man" recombines them in less than a microsecond and checks their reactions. The response is slightly different for the corresponding characters.

 The first letter is <>. The next character is <>.......

 In about a second, the old man has finished analyzing the password.

"Okay. The password is <."

 As soon as Reiko reported it, the door was unlocked.

 Reiko opens it gently. On the other side is a dimly lit small room.

"This seems to be another buffer zone.

 Goose immediately begins to examine the room.

"Oh, is this a map?"

 Hannah found what looked like a floor map marked on the wall.

"Oh, it looks like it. "Nice, Hanna-chan."

 Saki slid over and looked at the map over Hanna's shoulder.

 By the way, Saki is now 158cm tall and Hannah is 155cm tall.

"Hmmm............this place looks interesting!

 Hannah pointed to the area marked <>. Hannah also seems to be able to read <>.

"I see, that sounds like a good place to start."

 Jin agreed.

 Theon and Maricka had no objections, so they decided to follow the map to the archives.

 The corridor was still dimly lit.

 Both are engineering magic to examine the flow of magic power.

"...... got it. Here."

 Jin pushed in a part of the wall. Then the part is concaved into a rectangle.

 He put his hand on it and pulled it, and a part of the wall opened like a door.

 It was a maintenance door made of the same material as the wall.

"Oh!"

"It's Jin-sama!"

 While his companions were impressed, Jin checked the part that looked like a switchboard.

"Ah, here it is!

 Jin muttered to himself, and as he did something, the light illuminating the corridor increased in brightness.

"You must have been in the nightlight mode. Now I've switched it to normal mode."

 Jin said, "It's probably to save mana and to prevent the equipment from deteriorating.

 Now that it was brighter, it was easier to get around.

"Follow the directions on the map, go straight down the hallway and turn right at the end of the hallway. ......"

"Is that ......?"

 She peeks in, and sees that the inside of the room has been ransacked. The shelves that seemed to contain materials were almost empty.

"What is this ......?"

"Oh, ......."

 Hanna and Saki, or rather all of Jin and the others, stood at the entrance, disappointed.
