The village of Puton was an inconspicuous village hidden in the mountains of southwest Regulus, near Belfast. It's just like an idyllic country village.
　I didn't want the villagers to find me, so I went down into the forest and searched for "caves" on my phone. I searched for "cave" on my phone, and found a response from a little distance from the village.

It's surprisingly close. Children use it as a playground, so it's close enough.

　The cave was located on a mountainside on the outskirts of the village. It was indeed small. The entrance is just enough for one person to get through. It is like a so-called horizontal hole, but when I entered it, it was larger than I expected.
　Or rather, this is like a hole in the ruins that were in the mountain from the side. The various passageways must have been blocked up by sand and rocks to make it look like this.
　After a while, a large bat attacked, but it turned back. Hmm, is it strong enough for a child to deal with? Of course, you might have a hard time shooting it down if you're not that good with a bow or magic, but you won't be seriously injured.
　Continuing straight ahead, a black cube eventually came into view. Each piece was about seven meters in size. I touch the cool, marble-like surface. There's no doubt about it. It's the remains of Babylon.

"Well, well... There's got to be some kind of a switch in there somewhere that lets you in...

　I checked all the cubes. But I couldn't find anything that looked like them anywhere. It's not like there are grooves like there were in Monica's case. What's going on here?
　I tried to touch various places from side to side, from top to bottom, to see if there might be a wall I could get through if I touched somewhere, but I couldn't get through.

'Mmmm......... I don't know what's going on........''

　Should I just use "modeling" to deform it and make a hole in it already? I'd like to find out by my own strength, but....
　After that, I continued to search for this or that, but I couldn't find anything that looked like an entrance at all.

Hmm, what's going on here?

　No way. Downstairs?
　No matter how much, I thought, I dug the ground with my earth attribute magic, digging the ground thin and deep so that the cube wouldn't fall off, and then dived down into it to check the bottom of the cube.
　........There it is. A circular ditch in the middle, like a 1 of a dice on the bottom.

Perhaps we can get in here...

　I put my hand on the circular spot and was quickly pulled in and lifted into the cube.
　Looking around, I saw the usual six pillars surrounding the transition camp. The magic stones of each attribute shone in the vague brightness.
　But what was different from the usual was that the transition formation was not on the floor, but on the side. The pillars in which the magic stones are stuck are also extending from the side.

''Wait a minute. Isn't this one down here originally? Then you could have gone in right next to it.

　I think they clearly made a mistake when setting up this cube. There's no way they could have put the entrance underneath the ground. In dice, the correct answer is that the face of the 1 is on the side and the face of the 2 is on the bottom. That's the mistake, and the first side of the entrance was underneath and the second side was beside it. There was no way to get in.

"d*mn, you better set it up right....

　While babbling, he uses the "Fly" to levitate his body while pouring his magic power into it in turn. After releasing all six attributes, I stand on the side of the wall where the transition team is located. It's a strange feeling. It's not like I'm a ninja. Ninjutsu, the art of standing on the wall. What's that?
　I pour non-attribute magic power into the transition formation and activate the transition formation. Soon, the transition was successfully completed in a vortex of dazzling light.




'Welcome to Babylon, haha!
Uggh!

　After completing the transition, I thought the rush of light had subsided, but I was suddenly hit head on in the stomach. Goooo, a surprise hit is hard!
　

Wah-wah, I'm sorry! I was going to greet you, but I tripped over it!
All right, all right, all right. Just get out of the way!

　The girl who had thrown herself at me and I fell to the ground, looking as if we had been pushed down. This is a bit embarrassing. On top of that, this girl, although not as good as Flora, has quite a few things, so it's even more awkward.

''Suguudoku. And toto!
What are you...

　The girl stumbled to her feet in a hurry, and her right foot, with all her weight on it, stepped precisely on my crotch!

Oggghhhh?

　Oh, no. Oh, God...! Shhh...!
　Agony. What could I do except cower and roll on the ground? That's the most damage I've sustained since I came to this world...!
　This one hurts a lot more than Frazeez's blow...! Ka, I wonder if recovery magic works........ No, no, in this case, is it "refreshing"? Oh no, no, I can't concentrate my magic...! Like it hurts, like it hurts.

Um ... are you okay?
Why would I...

　I bang and pound the ground with my fists as the pain rises in my lower abdomen. Oily sweat drips down my face and my breathing is sluggish. It's really........tight....... I'm.........helpless.......
　Eventually the waves of pain manage to recede, and as I stagger to my feet, the girl poses for me in a bishuensis-like salute. I guess she's a little shorter than Sheska. She opens her mouth with a cheerful smile.

''Then again, welcome to the 'storehouse' of Babylon! I'm Lil' Parche, the terminal that manages this warehouse. Please call me "Parche".
It's you...!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeee?

　This is the caretaker of the warehouse? He triggered Takeda's downfall by dropping the "Jewel of Immortality," and he caused the fall of the "sucker's bracelet" and the "bulwark bracelet" and caused a coup d'état in the Empire.
　All the other Babylon Numbers say he's quite the screw-up, but I've seen it firsthand!

Sit down there! I'll preach to you!
What is it? What the hell? Why are you getting angry at yourself?

　You've caused so much trouble and you don't even know it. I need to explain it to him properly and make him understand.
　Then I told him in earnest how many people were inconvenienced by the magic tool "artifacts" that Parche dropped. In particular, I was very polite about how much I was involved in it.

''Are you sorry?''
Sss..... I'm sorry. I didn't think I'd get into that kind of trouble.

　Parsha's shoulders slumped in a daze. Her eyes were downcast and her gray hair in a ponytail swayed in a small way. Was that a bit much?

Well, what the hell, watch out for it from now on. Even the guys in Babylon were worried that the storehouse had crashed.
Hey. Is there anyone else in Babylon besides yourself?
Except for the Institute. I know I'm late to introduce you, but I'm Fuyuya Mochizuki. Everyone in Babylon has accepted me as a master.
Oh, I see. Then I'll have to admit that I'm a conformist. That's understood. Now, aircraft number 26, individual name "Lil' Parche," is going to be yours. That's nice to meet you, master!

　Parshe stood up again with energy and posed with a big salute. Quick switch. He really felt sorry for himself, didn't he?
　As it is, Parche approaches me and pulls his lips to mine. Ah, so there's this........
　I can't even bring myself to resist when it's already the eighth time. I have to do it anyway. As I was letting myself go with an enlightened feeling, I was stepped on by Parche with all my might.

''Okay...! Mugu!

　The tongue invades through the joined lips, but it's not enough. My right leg! Her weight, which she had grown taller to make up for the height difference, continues to do damage to my right foot for sure. The back of my foot is pretty painful!
　The most horrible thing about it is that it's a clumsy disposition. But is that a screw-up?

Registration complete! I've memorized the Master's genes. Now ownership of the warehouse will pass to the master. ...What's going on?

　Parche cocks his head curiously at my cowering again. Why don't you even notice it! You'd know that if you stepped on it! I hold my right foot down and roll on the ground. Maybe it's better to put up the 'shield' when facing this guy.

"Anyway, I'm going to lead you to the 'warehouse'. This way!

　Parshe runs away with a look of someone's pain. Oh, I'm mocking. Is it natural?
　When I passed through the lush shrubbery, there was a dome-shaped building standing there. In terms of size, it's not that big. It's about a slightly larger house. That's it, a house made of Eskimo pressure blocks, an igloo, I think. It looks like that thing.
　I opened the large door and entered the room, which was a pure white space with only a few white cubes, each about fifty centimeters long, just right for sitting on. A single black monolith stands in the center of the room.

''Since it's called a 'storehouse', I was imagining something more like a treasure house...''
The artifacts you developed, as well as your personal collection, money, materials, and other records are all stored here in the basement. It was destroyed once, but it's already been repaired.

　Then, you dropped the Immortal Jewels and all that stuff. That's annoying.

"This device will summon them from the underground storage room. Let's see...

　When Parshe channeled his magic to the monolith and manipulated it in some way, one of the cubes that had been lying on the floor fell to the floor with a stomp, and a similar cube rose up from the floor in front of me instead.
　When I looked closely at the top of the cube, in the upper right corner, I could see some small writing. It's in ancient Partheno. It seems to be numbered.
　When Parsha touches the cube, its top slowly opens up like a treasure chest. Oh! There were a lot of gold coins inside.

This box can only be opened by you or a master. Even if Dr. Babylon is there, he can't open it.

　I see, you've just handed over the key to the treasure chest to me. So, you mean that all of this is mine.... I guess that means I can do with them as I please.
　I take out a gold coin from the box. It's a shape I've never seen before........well, I saw it once. It looks like the silver coin that that guy had when he first met Ende. That means this is a Partheno gold coin.
　It's only natural, come to think of it. This "storehouse" itself is 5000 years old.
　This money is useless, isn't it? I wonder if I can destroy it and use it as gold.... Even if it is taken to the antique shop, it is so shiny that it is hard to believe that it is 5000 years old. It would be treated as a fake.

That's right. Are there any designs for new frame gears in here?
"Are you designing a frame gear? It's there. Well.........

　When Palshe manipulated the monolith, the box containing the gold coins sank to the floor and another box rushed up in its place. I'm not going to be able to distinguish between them because they are both the same pure white box.
　Like Parshe did earlier, I touched the box and slowly opened the top lid, just like Parshe did. Looking at the things inside I slowly closed the lid.

'Parche this is different. It's not right. Put it away. Quickly.
'What? Oh, it's true. You got the wrong number.

　The box in front of me sinks and disappears as Parshe controls the monolith. I turn my back to her, as my face might be red.
　Eh, what's in the box? It was just a toy. ..........adult........ I hate that doctor..........
　I opened the box that came up again in the same way, and this time there were many tube-like things inside. I snapped it open like a diploma container and took out the contents.
　It's definitely like a blueprint. There are illustrations of various parts and detailed text written all over the place. Of course I can't read it. I can read it if I use translation magic.
　It's too difficult to read it, though!
　But now you can finally build a plane that takes your frame gear up a notch. Up until now I've only been able to tweak existing aircraft, but now I can build one from scratch. This means I can make specialized and personalised aircraft.
　Shall I make a tank-type lower body? I don't know if it's possible to transform it. I'll have to look on the net for various types of robots. Heavy armored, high mobility, logistical support, what other types are out there?
　Oh man, I'm excited. It's a boy, so it's no wonder!
