"Is it a rusty steel door ...... or is it ...... suspicious?"



  asked Rhodes for instructions about the door that appeared at the end of the tunnel.

"Hmmm, what should we do ......?"

 Steel doors are not meant to be placed in tunnels.

 Obviously, we can assume that there is an alien facility deep in the abandoned mine.

 Rhodes wondered if would not be sufficient to deal with this contingency.

"Rhodes, do you think there is such a thing as a contingency? You've been neglected all this time, haven't you?"

 The air inside was still of an unbreathable composition.

"Why don't you investigate carefully and send them back if you find anything out of the ordinary? We have to investigate anyway."

"That's true."

 We could go back and come back again, but in that case we might not be the first ones to find it, Harunatha continued.

 < transfer to us and bring the golem to us, it is not possible because the maximum weight that can be carried by transfer is 100 kilograms.

"That's a problem. ...... I have no choice but to be even more careful and have Momoko check it out."



 So, with great care, Momoko was asked to continue the investigation.

 Momoko follows the instructions and checks the opening and closing mechanism of the steel door.

 There is no particularly complicated locking mechanism, and the door opens by twisting the knob next to the handle.

 It is pitch-dark inside. The air is more stagnant than ever.

 Momoko began to move forward more slowly and carefully than ever before.

"The ground and the walls seem to have been processed a little differently than before.

 The amount of light from the < used is reduced to half, so it is a little difficult to see, but we are able to obtain such information.

 Compared to the past, the processing has become more careful, or the unevenness has been reduced.

 I have the impression that the supplier in charge has changed.

 Momoko is moving at a speed of about one kilometer per hour. She is on the lookout for traps.

 But fortunately, there was not a single such trap, and half an hour later, the door blocked her way again.

 Momoko asked Rhodes for instructions.



"We've come this far, we have no choice but to continue. Proceed with caution as before."

 Momoko puts her hand on the front door and tries to open it ......, but it won't open.

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



 It won't open. This one seems to be made of steel, but it does not seem to be rusty, perhaps because there was no oxygen in the air.

 Yet, the knob does not work at all.

 It seems as if I might break it by twisting it forcibly.

 After trying various ways, Momoko is not getting anywhere, so she turns to Rhodes again for instructions.

"Well,...... I don't know if I can push it any further. ......Okay, come back once."

 Not wanting to push Momoko any further and lose her, Rhodes instructed her to return.



"......It's a shame."

"I agree."



 No one disagreed with his decision, but the regretful expressions on their faces were the same.

 So, after consulting with each other, the group decided to ask for reinforcements.

 Kondak of Shinra, who has the ability to transfer magic, returns and explains the situation.

 It was agreed that Kondak would return to Rhodes and the others by transfer, and that the reinforcements would be sent in by blow floaters (......).

 We decided that an explanation from a person who was on site would be better than communication by manacam (magical element communication device).



I'm going to go now.

 Kondak moved away. All that remained was to wait.

The only thing left to do now was to wait.



"Hmm, I didn't know that was possible."

 Kondak temporarily returned from the transfer and reported to the clan leader, Mr. Belialus.

"Okay, I'll send you two general-purpose golems for investigation.

"Thank you very much."

"I know where they are, and I will send them out tomorrow morning when they arrive.

Thank you very much.



 The conversation is soon over, and Belialus is quickly on his way.

 Then Zion came in and offered him a large pot.

"Since you have come all the way back, you should bring back a freshly cooked pot for dinner," he said.

 Inside was pork miso soup.



"Oh, thank you."

 Surprised by the unexpected gift, Kondak returned to Rhodes and the others with a pot of hot pork miso soup.

"Oh, this is Grandmother Zion's pork miso soup.



 Rhodes, his great-grandson, took a bite and recognized it as the pork miso soup that Zion had made.

 Ever since he was a little boy, he had loved the rice that Zion made.



"Your cooking is always delicious, isn't it?

"I can't believe that you used to be bad at cooking when you were young.

"No, he said it was because he wasn't good at it that he practiced and improved so much that he became the man he is today.

 Rhodes told the truth.



"Oh, that's just what I expected of you, Mr. Zion."

 Momoko is keeping an eye on the surroundings, and there is a <> as well.

 It was safe and secure.



"Apparently, someone used the mine for some purpose after it was abandoned.

"So they mistook it for an archaeological site?

That seems to be the case.

The question is, who used it?

Mm-hmm.



 It is inevitable that the conversation will gradually shift from chit-chat to such a discussion. Everyone is curious.

"Do you know when the mine was abandoned?"

About 500 years ago.
