41-severe earthquake




 I decided to take them down the tower and take them upstairs to show them around the castle.

 When we got on the elevator, Januar and the others were impressed, even though it was already the third time.

'I have no idea how it works,'

Maybe they're all pulling together.

'What a monstrous force. Oh, so it's the golem that's pulling you, is it?

You're full of golems.

 As Januar and Yuri were having such a conversation, Ditsen crossed his arms with a serious face and snorted.

''It's a shame to think I share those two's opinion, but I certainly don't understand. Master Taiki, why is this room moving?'

 The three of us understand that the elevator is moving up and down, but they don't understand how it works.

 No, I don't understand it either.

 Could it be that they have a winch above their own room above the control room and are lifting it up with wires?

 Since there's a possibility that a robot is really raising and lowering them, I'll just smile vaguely at Ditsen.

 When we reach the second floor, there is a corridor lined with doors, calm indirect lighting and a neatly laid out carpet.

 Januar nods deeply at such a scene.

'It's interesting to look at this one light. Why did you decide to install a wall in front of the lamp?'

But I think the light is gentler here, don't you? As for me, I think it could be a little brighter.

''Hmm. Surely, as far as the rest of the halls are concerned, they should have the technology to make the interior as bright as daylight, but why would they dare to dim it?

 I chuckled as they looked at me and I replied.

'It must be unsettling if it's like daylight everywhere. Especially since this floor is lined with guest rooms, I thought you would feel more comfortable if you went through a slightly dark passage before going to bed.

 I told them that the point was to create an atmosphere, but they seemed to be unexpectedly convinced, nodding repeatedly as they walked to the back of the aisle.

''I see. It certainly feels calming. But to dare to make it darker is a luxury we can't even imagine.

'Indeed. We would have a big chandelier to brighten it up so brightly that it would be dazzling, for a luxurious effect.

 As they were conversing in a good mood, Ditsen was crawling on the floor of the passage behind them.

''The light isn't an oil lamp........the lack of flickering is some kind of magic trick.......? No, I don't know...

 Ditsen crawls on the floor while mumbling and muttering, and Januar looks at him like he's looking at garbage.

''..........Lord Taiki, I hope you don't mind that worm-like person and continue to guide us.

Well, I can't believe you called Master Ditsen a worm... He's a worm, Master Ditsen?

''Haha.......Well then, let me show you this room first. If you're going to stay in this castle, you'll have to stay here.

 I return a bitter smile to Ditsen and open the door to the room closest to me. By the way, the room closest to the elevator is Eira's room, so I put it in the room next to two.

 When I check on Eira, who is quietly following behind me, she smiled and tilted her head at me, so I decide it's okay.

 When I opened the door and looked back at them, Yuri opened his mouth first.

'Well, a lovely private room,'

 Then he bows to us and walks inside.

 Yuri walks around the room and twists his head around to each piece of equipment. Januar joins him there, but he only got a number of unusual answers.

 So they took turns explaining how to use them and so on, and the two of them continued to rejoice like children who had seen a magic trick.

 Incidentally, Ditsen was mumbling and mumbling each time, heaving into the toilet, shower, and hairdryer.

 We'll introduce the dining room at dinner, and next we'll take the three of them to the third floor.

'Wait, I need a minute! I need this bathroom! A little more of this toilet!

 Ditsen was clinging to the toilet and ranting about something, but Januar and Yuri had restrained his hands and thrown him into the elevator.

 It was a bit pitiful, but it would be okay since we were headed to the third floor. There's a lot of robots lined up there, and some medical equipment I can't even understand.

 It's the perfect environment for the mech-geeky Ditsen.

 And that's about how I felt about it, but it was actually about three steps above my expectations.

 The elevator opens, and Ditsen, who was still mumbling and complaining, raises his voice.

''..... Oh, oh! Oooh...!

 Even Januar and Yuri gasped at the large number of robots that lined up in front of them.

 Unlike the other floors, the robots were packed into an extremely large room. The power of the robots must be outstanding.

''What a number........''

Amazing, Brother Januar.

 They said and wandered over to the first robot in line.

'The numbers are unbelievable, but the workmanship of this one piece is amazing too.

There's a lot of pressure to unify the look and feel of things like this again.

 He laughed and nodded at their impressions and turned his head to Ditsen.

 Is he so moved that he can't even speak?

 That's what I think, and I turn around, but Ditsen appears to just stand there with his eyes rolled back and forth.

 Noticing my gaze, Eira moves in front of Ditsen and tries to wave or call out to him, but there's no response.

''........she seems to have passed out.

 I couldn't reply to Eira's words, and I nodded for now.
