The top floor of the temple was an entire floor atrium, and the sky could be seen above the high exterior walls. It was shaped just like the Colosseum with the audience seats removed.
　The entire floor was covered with an unseen magic circle that looked like a collection of various geometric patterns, and in the center of it was "it".
　Indeed, it could only be described as a "gate". There were no doors, only an arched entrance. It was a silvery white "gate" that looked like a smaller version of the French Arc de Triomphe, but it had what looked like an electric meter disk at the top and what looked like a half-moon tachometer at the top of the center of the arch.
　Is it made of metal? Shiny, it doesn't look like it's spent very five thousand years on it.

'Can I touch it?'
Be my guest.

　The Central Imam gives me permission to touch it. From the coolness of it, I'm sure it's still metal. It was filled with magic, and it felt like it was creating a complex flow.

''It looks hard, that it is.''
'It's not like Oryhalcon or Mithril it's a metal I've never seen before.

　I nodded at Yae's impressions of the gate as well, and lightly tapped it with the back of my hand. I'm sure it's metal.

''Hmm. ''Chrontium, huh? I've never seen anything this pure before.''

　The Doctor steps down from the amber and touches the gate with a flutter. Hearing those words, the Central Imam's eyes widen.

''To see through it with a single glance........ Your Majesty, what the hell is this child?''

　Well, you'd be surprised at what a girl under ten years old looks like.

"This is Dr. Regina Babylon. She's our Mage Engineer. Will you allow me to analyze this gate with her attributeless magic? I'm sure you'll know something about it.
'What? Oh, ah, yes, that's fine, but....

　They are probably more surprised that the little girl in front of them is a magician than they are about non-attribute magic. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.
　With that in mind, the doctor touched the "gate" in front of him with both hands, concentrated his magic power and activated his analysis magic.

''Analysis [Analyze].''

　He's probably just sorting through the information that's flowing into his head. The doctor would occasionally say something like, hmm, or mmm? I mumbled to myself and raised my eyebrows.
　I secretly tried the "Analyze" function, but after about two seconds I gave up trying to understand it. I can understand the materials and structure, but I have no idea what and why that part works. My knowledge is overwhelmingly inadequate. But I don't have the ability to understand.

I've never seen this type of structure before. You're right, it's a pretty good idea. I'm sure it's a magical artifact that has the same effect as the Gate, both shifting magic and spacetime magic, but why doesn't it specify a coordinate axis? No, it's not so much that it's not specified, but rather that they didn't take that into account from the beginning.... The amount of magic power consumption to be activated is impossibly high. With this........

　I leave the doctor who has mumbled his way into my world and decide to talk to the Central Imam.

''This magical tool was bequeathed to you by Arelius Parellius, wasn't it?
Yes, my Lord. Our founder, Arelius Parellius, used this island as his own magical testing ground. This temple itself is said to be the foundation for this Gate. It is said that Parerius died before it was completed and was succeeded by four of his senior brothers, but in the end, it was never completed.
No, it's finished in a way. This one.

　As if to cut through the Central Imam's story, the Doctor, who took his hand off the 'gate', wiped the sweat off his forehead with the sleeve of his saggy white coat.

''We won't know the effects and uses until we activate it, but I've completed the activation formula for activating magic power and such.
'Then why doesn't it activate when you channel your magic?
It's simple. You don't have enough magic to activate it.

　You said you don't have enough magic........ I'm sure it wouldn't take much for a gate the size of this one. It's not like there's some kind of magic formula built into it, like transferring an entire island. Is the shape of the gate fake?

'Not enough activation magic...? I'm a person with a reasonably high amount of magical power, but are you saying that's still not enough?

　The central imam asks the doctor quizzically.

''If I had to guess, even if your magic power is high, it's only for two or three people at most, right? That's a different order of magnitude. To activate this magic formula, it would take at least 100,000 people, at the very least.
Ju.........?
And it only took less than a second to boot up. There's no way it could be activated in normal circumstances. Even if one person put magic power into it every day, it would take about 300 years.

　Three hundred years of daily magic power and less than a second of activation.......what's with that inefficiency?
　The Central Imam is more than the original, the four representatives behind him are also stunned.
　Only Yae, who can't use magic, is tilting her head, though. I guess they don't have a good grasp on it.

'In order to get that amount of magic power, it seems they were trying to incorporate a magic formula for magic power amplification, but it just doesn't mesh well. Maybe if they were able to complete it here, it would only take about a hundredth of a percent.
So when it's completed, you can have it up and running in three years?
Well, in theory, yes.

　Three years, huh? Then I guess it's still realistic, if you do it with 3 people it will only take a year, if you do it with 36 people it will only take a month.
　When I said that, he said he couldn't recommend it because it won't start up smoothly if you mix more than one magic power with it.
　Each magic power has its own individual wavelength or color; a campus that takes one color out of 36 colors of paint and paints them all in the same color for 36 days is completely different from a campus that wants to paint one color a day and a different color for 36 days. If you want pure, unified magic, you'd better do it alone.

''So unfinished...''
''It's finished, but not finished. Well, if you're here, Fuyao-kun, you'll be able to activate it.
Uh...I knew it was going to happen.

　At the doctor's mischievous gaze, I scratch my head.

''Well........I knew His Majesty the Duke's Majesty had a high amount of magic power from transferring so many giant soldiers, but....... How much magic power amount on earth........
'Well? I haven't been reduced much, so I'm not sure. Even in my current state, I'm still using hundreds of summoned beasts, and I haven't seen much reduction.
Wha...?

　Even if Amber and the other five divine beasts and their household members were added together, I don't feel that they have decreased at all. Even more so since I awakened to the Divine Qi. Really, I'm becoming less of an ordinary person. It's too late now.

I'm sure you can activate it. Well, let me ask you something, can I activate it?
'Ha, yes. If only we could find out what Lady Aelyrius Parellius was trying to do...

　Since I got permission from the Central Imam to make some preparations, I decided to make a lot of preparations.
　Since it's called this shape or transition type, I guess the transition gate will open like a "gate". But I don't even know where it's connected to this world.
　The terrain has changed quite a bit since 5,000 years ago.

''As an escort, I can't permit you to put Fuyou-dono in danger, that I can't, but...''
Well, no matter where it jumps, I'll be back. I can handle anything that comes up.

　I managed to persuade a reluctant Yae to wait for me here, and we set up a protective barrier around the "gate" in a 360-degree area. Even if we were in the sea, this half-dome-shaped warding would prevent us from being attacked. As soon as we did so, we could close the gate.

"Let's try one.

　　I made everyone step back and touch the 'gate'. As it was, as the magic power began to flow, the turntable at the top of the 'gate' began to turn and the needle of the tachometer installed in the center began to move. Haha, so this is the magic power filling standard.
　When the magic power was poured in all at once, the revolving board began to turn at a furious speed, and the tachometer went up halfway up with a swoosh. With that, the magic circles carved under the floor of the gate spread out with a glow.

''Oh...!
This is...!

　People around me were surprised, but I was surprised in a different way too. I poured quite a bit into it, but it still wasn't full. More and more, the "gate" absorbed more and more magic power, and soon not only the magic circle, but the temple itself began to glow. The tachometer has already reached 80%.
　The space inside the gate is shaken. It's almost time for the transference gate to open. After confirming this, I pour more magic power into it.
　Eventually, when the tachometer reads 100%, a different landscape appears in the space inside the gate. I can see the trees and the sky. It doesn't seem to be a dangerous place.

'Did you make the connection?'

　If you stop letting the magic flow, it might close, so you move to the front with your hand still touching it.

''Then I'll go for a moment.''

　I told everyone lightly and I stepped into the "gate".
　A strange sensation.
　Like exiting a thin, resistant rubber membrane.
　As if to wipe away some discomfort, I let my body slip out of the "gate" at once.
　Soon the sensation of stomping on the earth returns and I'm standing in a strange forest.
　I look back, but there's nothing there. It must be a one-way transition gate, after all.
　I'm feeling quite tired. It feels like half of my magic power has been taken away from me. It's also beginning to recover quickly, though.
　Now, where is this place? The Great Sea of Trees........it's not. It's just an ordinary forest.
　I took out my phone and tried to display the map.

Huh?

　It won't open for some reason. What is it? Is this forest itself warded? Was this also the work of Arelius Parellius, the Wise Man of Time? No, Aelyrius Parellius could not complete The Gate. It couldn't be.
　At any rate, he called Yae to contact her, but that didn't connect either. The same was true for the telekinesis to Amber. I'm not sure if there is a very strong inhibiting ward on it.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　As I was thinking about this, I heard someone screaming from deep in the forest in front of me and a sound like a tree falling.
　I quickly run in that direction and run through the deep forest and eventually come to what looks like a city road. The trees around me were being torn down from their roots. What the hell.
　And what I saw there was a two-headed dinosaur, a small tyrannosaurus, attacking a large metal carriage.

''What the heck...!

　I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows, partly because that tyrannosaur-like two-headed dragon was a magical beast I had never seen before.
　But more than that, my eyes were drawn to something I'd never seen before.
　 You may think what is obvious, but the one in front of me was not pulled by a horse.
　If you want to compare it to........a crab? It had a few legs on either side and no scissors, but it was very similar in shape.
　However, the fact that it was a mechanical crab had short-circuited my thought process. Moreover, the carriage it was pulling was not an ordinary carriage, but a "bus" as it were. I guess you could call it a crab bus.

''Some kind of artifact...?''

　As he was mumbling, the two-headed dragon struck a blow to the carriage with a strong body blow, even the crabs. At the same time, several screams came from inside the carriage. Oops, this wasn't the time to watch.

''Flame, come, pillar of purgatory fire, inferno fire!''

　My magic suddenly enveloped the two-headed dragon in a pillar of fire. Struggling, I aimed at the two-headed dinosaur as it left the carriage, and with Brunhild's blade mode, which I took out from 'storage', I cut off both heads at once.
　The headless dinosaur fell to the ground with an earth shaking sound.
　The mechanical crab regained its position and a few humans peeked out of the carriage. Apparently, they were safe.
　One of them walks over to me and smiles at me, "atihsamirakus.

'atihsamirakusat.uotagiraomuod'
...What?

　No, I can't understand you. Huh? I thought we were in common speech range?

Do you speak Common Tongue?
'era? akusedatakonukokiag? anadabotokianonotokatiik.......'

　Not good. Even the bearded old man with a merchant's beard in front of him seems to be confused by the lack of understanding of the language.
　It can't be helped. If you can't understand the language, there's nothing you can do.
　I told him that I had no hostile intent with my body language and hand. Then he reaches out and takes my hand in his, too. Good. Was there a culture of shaking hands? This magic is only effective when you're touching the other person.

Translations.

　The magic that was shed from me was transmitted to the other party, who took the information and returned to me again.

'Does this make sense to you?'
'Oh, you speak Arendt! Good, I'm not sure what to do...

　Translation is translation magic. It absorbs only what is relevant to the language from the other person's memory and turns it into its own language.
　Hmm, this word is called Arendt. I've never heard of it.

I am a traveling merchant and my name is Pedro Sancho. Thank you for your help.
No, no, please don't mind me. Oh, my name is Fuyao Mochizuki.
Mr. Toya? That's a very unusual name. Where were you born?

　I can't honestly say that I'm Earth, so I'll have to fake it, as usual.

'You were born in Yishen. I live in Brunhild now.
Yisheng? Brunhild? I've never heard of it. Is it a remote village?

　You haven't heard of Brunhild yet, but you've never heard of Yisheng either? Where the hell is this place? I put the question I had been wondering about earlier to Sancho-san.

'Um, I'm sorry to ask this, but where is this place? I'm a little lost.
'This is a road that's only a day's ride east of the capital, Allen, by carriage.
Allen, the capital? ....the capital of what country?
Where do you mean..... The capital city of Allen is the Holy Kingdom of Arendt, isn't it? Oh, please wait a minute.

　Sancho returned to the carriage and brought something that looked like a piece of paper in his hand.

'Here's a map. See, this is the Holy Kingdom of Arendt, and this is the capital, Allen. And this is the capital city, Allen.


　I was shocked to see the map handed to me. It was a world map, there was no mistake. There was no mistake in what I had always called up on my phone's map. Except for one thing.
　Yisheng, which should be at the far east, is at the far west. And it's also upside down.
　Yes. That map of the world was like a mirrored map, reversed left and right....
