A vast space existed deep, deep underground.

There's a huge hole in the ground in that space.

The diameter is so wide that the opposite side is dark and sumptuous that it cannot be seen, and it is overwhelmingly deeper than the underground where we are now.

No matter how much you strengthen your eyesight with magic, you'll never get a peek at the bottom.

So much so that no stone is dropped that no reverberation can be heard for long.

The hole was so dark and deep that I suspected it was an entrance to and exit from the Yellow Springs.

So what the hell is this hole?

This vertical hole is not just a hole.

This hole is a grave.

In the past, it is a tomb where the corner of the six great demon kings, destroyed and sealed by the five kinds of brave men, sleeps.

…………

The edge of the tomb is surrounded by a rope like a shimmering rope, with columns erected everywhere. Multiple demonic stones and magic letters were intricately applied to the columns.

Grave guards wearing black robes from their heads on the edge of the hole continue to chant their wands in their hands diligently.

The person wearing armor imitating the skeleton - Top Sorcery S-Class "King Corrupt No", who delivers this tomb, was silently arm-watching.

He carries a large sword beyond his back length.

The voices of the tomb guards surrounded by black robes continue to sound slightly in the wide underground space.

In addition to that sound, I notice a mix of different sounds when I clear my ears a lot.

Gucci, Gali, Boo, Gacha, Gusha - the sound of something crushing, screaming, the sound of precipitated air crushing.

There is a mixture of different sounds that seem to pack together the unpleasant sounds of the world.

It sounds uncomfortable when a weak-hearted regular person hears you lose your hips and pass out.

The source of that sound is heard from behind the vertical hole.

Fever enters the chants of the tomb guards.

The dissimilar noise heard from the vertical hole becomes slightly louder in inverse proportion.

The sooner I realized it, the louder it got over the grave guards chanting.

――

Sorcerer S "King Corruption" gives instructions to his squire, who had refrained on his side.

No matter how loud he shouts on the spot, he gets anointed with a different sound. That is why he gave instructions to his servants and sent them to the tomb guards.

The squire moves as per the prior meeting.

As he rushes over to the tomb guards, everyone calmly leaves the edge of the hole as per the emergency manual and begins moving to the entrance and exit.

'King Corrupt no' kept an arm around him watching how that retreat was going.

When the last one leaves the entrance and exit, he pulls out the sword on his back.

The Great Sword was a straight sword, like the one drawn in the Statutes.

The color is white.

Rather than a blade, it has a shade that evokes an ivory image.

"The King of Corruption" does not hold his sword, but pierces it to the ground.

Unlike shades, the ivory blade profoundly pierces the ground without resistance.

At about the same time the columns installed on the edges of the vertical holes glow black.

The black glow covers the entire edge of the vertical hole through a shimmering rope, and the columns on the diagonal line also tie each other in black light.

It created a junction as if it were a black, shining lid.

When the black glowing lid is complete, the noise is accompanied by vibration.

"Nanica" is coming back from the vertical hole.

It's like a volcano explodes and a magma erupts...

The identity will soon be found out.

Nanica, who had been refluxing from her vertical hole into a black, shining lid - the corpse smashed into a mess, scattering a nauseating rotten odor, sounding rotten meat, bones, guts and screams.

It is precisely the turbulence of the deceased.

The deceased raises a voiceless voice and scratches a black, shining lid.

It was rampant as if it was possessed by paranoia that broke the line and went out to earth. The figure passed ugly, just a sight of fear trembling.

"... Phew"

A slightly higher key leaks a sigh like a toddler from the cheek-head (full face).

When King Corruption puts his sword in his sheath, he turns his back on the vertical hole and heads to the entrance and exit.

The entrance and exit doors were awaited with thick doors sparingly using gold and time, magic, materials, etc.

If it's possible on Earth, it's a door that has been developed with nuclear shelter-level technical capabilities and funds.

But if the black result overflows the prevented deceased, it won't last that long.

The door slowly closes when "King Corrupt No" goes outside.

He finally turned his gaze to the vertical hole.

At the end of that line of sight are the deceased covering all the vertical holes.

It's so overflowing that it's ridiculous to check the numbers too. Lightly ten thousand would be exceeded.

A few seconds later - the door was completely closed.

But this is not the end.

From this place, which is going to be deep underground, a defensive battle of hell was literally about to begin.

▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼ ▼

On the continent of the Beasts there is a city called Cocoli Street.

Cocoli Street is the harbour district of the Beast Continent - one of the halfway points for transporting supplies from the harbour to the cities behind the land.

Such a very common medium-sized city had a bubble to see rarely in recent years.

The reason for the bubble is because of us, PEACEMAKER.

Why are we the cause... The heroes who defeated Lance Mertier, the brave man who defeated the Black Poison Demon King and the great sinner who took the magic away from the rest of the world, held a wedding in this city.

As a result, people gather from all over the world to see the wedding at a glance, and even after it's over, they stay without trying to go home.

It is rumored that anyone who holds a wedding at the Church of the Goddess Ashura, which has also become a wedding venue, will be happy, and now inquiries have arrived from all over the world.

This rumor activates the bridal business.

When people got together, money got together, and the bubble started.

It's a good thing that the economy is good... but naturally, there are bad things.

There are simply too many people gathered to cross the accepted scale of Cocoli Street.

So I said, 'Why don't we fund it because we're expanding the city?' I take the suggestion.

If you're going to fund some of this, I've been told that we can entrust the Northern Expansion with the headquarters of the new and pure Maiden Knights.

It means that if an early story funds it, you can do whatever you want.

"Whatever you like," we will align ourselves with the rest of the East, West, and South, and we will discuss it in advance to determine the scope of expansion, etc.

Naturally, there are some constraints.

But in return, it's huge.

The New and Pure Maiden Knights also grew in size and narrowed their hands.

At present, we cannot increase the number of members any further.

Me and my daughter-in-law were still headquartered despite their newlyweds and were forced into some inconvenience. Especially at night......

So we decided to fund the expansion of the city.

And now - expansion work on the northern side, where the headquarters of the new and pure Maiden Knights is located, is being carried out with PEACEMAKER (Peace Manufacturer) funding.

"Oh, you're doing a lot of work."

I, Lute Gunsmith, head of the PEACEMAKER (Peace Manufacturer), had come to inspect the expansion works in the north.

The expansion work originally took precedence over a castle wall, and work was carried out to create a new compartment in the meadows that stretched beyond it.

This time the new second castle wall will be built at a firm distance between East, West, North and South.

Instead, he had been given a good right to flaunt the newly expanded northern section as he liked.

That's not why you can disregard the basics and surroundings and disturb the building as you please......

It takes the form of a new headquarters, a grand, a dormitory for the crew, a departure site & warehouse for a new airship, a research building, and a new home for us, leaving the rest of the section to the professionals - in advance.

Nevertheless, basic works were still under way, such as where to build the building, piling and roping the ground, where to build what and digging back the soil to lay down the stones.

Compared to other southeasterns, however, the north is the most work in progress.

The Northern Development Officer explains why with a smile.

"It's only natural that the work is in progress, brave man. Because we already have almost 30% of the building materials we need. You should quit the craftsmen who were so fed up that they were lagging behind in their work compared to the rest of the southeast"

He turns his gaze to the back of the north with his words.

There, the building materials needed for northern development were literally piled up in the mountains.

All this thanks to the power 'Infinite Storage' that Reese Gunsmith, one of my daughters, has.

For example...... what is the most costly & time consuming building a house?

The answer is material.

It costs money to hire artisans for a long time, but it's not that hard to talk about if you're just moving to a place to build.

But collecting materials and transporting them to their intended location takes a lot of effort, cost, and time.

What if that's one section of the city?

There is no way to carry a single piece of stone.

Although my previous life Japan has developed a global transportation network, carrying materials was not an easy story.

But with Reese's "Infinite Storage," those problems are easy to solve.

High Elves receive protection from the Spirit when they reach the age of 100.

The protection a lease is given is to store an object in another dimension with the power of the Spirit.

Stored items can go in and out whenever you want. No matter how much you hold it, the load is not borne by the user. However, the inorganic material is limited and the organism cannot be stored.

If there were a lease for any large quantity of material, it would be 'infinite storage', no place to take it, no degradation, and no overwhelming amount of fuel (demon stone) to use to move it.

The cost sucks, only Reese himself can do it.

This kind of money is not even possible in the logistics of Japan in the previous life when science and technology developed.

Material collection, which in some cases is more costly than labor costs, was achieved at an overwhelmingly low cost.

Thanks to this, the labor costs I had calculated beforehand were surprisingly compressed.

Travel also used a new airship, but its price is usually overwhelmingly cheaper than carrying stone.

All the other necessary wood, building materials, bricks, gravel, metal, etc. were carried in her 'infinite storage', which makes it a significant cost reduction to collect building materials.

How much did you cut the cost... so much so that Bernie Bloomfield, a three-eyed accountant at PEACEMAKER (Peacemaker), was almost face-to-face.

Her smile like that, it's the first level I've ever seen.

"I've been in this job for a long time, but I've never seen a construction that doesn't cost this much. The more you want to scout your wife, the better."

"Give me a break about that. She's a valued partner and a pillar of support for our Legion."

"This is rude. But only the newlyweds are hot."

The Northern Development Officer creates a wrinkle in his eyeballs and smiles.

It is unusual for a third party other than my companion to make me get married or something, and it makes me smile lightly because of the freshness.

High Elves Racially 'Infinite Storage' seems to be a hassle protection.

But it's not just about northern development, but how useful 'infinite storage' was when we looked back at the past of Olda PEACEMAKER (Peace Maker).

Assuming there is no "infinite storage," it is more than likely that we would not have been able to solve even other important cases, not just Demon King or Lance.

Really 'infinite storage' varies.

"Mr. Lute!

Talking to the Northern Development Officer, one girl - Reese - comes running over to a small run.

The Northern Development Officer has warm eyes that look at the smiling scenes of the newlyweds,

"Looks like your wife is here, so here I am"

"Thank you for your time and guidance."

It distracted me and ended the inspection.

While tickling his care and gaze on his way to other workplaces, he thankfully goes to Reese.

If Dozi's daughter's girlfriend is running on a small run, it's Othi who generates promises.

I tried to run over from here so I wouldn't,

"Kia!"

Reese slips his legs and buttocks on the spot with grass or something as expected.

Moisturize your big eyes with pain and stroke your buttocks with your palms.

I don't betray my predictions, and I reach out to my side, grinning bitterly at my wifey with a bad cock.

"Damn...... Reese's Dodge is the same. Are you hurt?"

"I'm going to be careful myself...... No injuries. I just got dirty palms and buttocks."

"Better yet, I'm not hurt."

I grabbed her hand and let her stand in one breath before slapping off the dirt on her butt with 'pampering'.

The pride has fallen, but the crushed grass juice is not going to stain and fall off.

I'll have to ask Shea to wash this.

The dirt on your hands knocks your hands off yourself.

Fortunately, Reese was coming to the north at work so she could dress dirty - in combat clothes.

I'm glad it's not personal clothes or anything.

Craftsmen are still working around her, but no more holding hands to prevent her from stepping on a dodge and falling, hitting people, hitting her head on materials, etc.

Reese is cute and beautiful. My chest is very large even though my back length is even lower. Hence the hot gaze from the male craftsmen.

Reese sweats his hand in embarrassment at first to gather many gazes when he joins hands with her like that.

Nevertheless, are you still happy to hold hands, loosening your expression and gripping back hard?

I walked down the road back to HQ with her loving, tight hands.

"Thank you for your hard work today. I'm sorry I've been letting you leave your stuff at the materials store lately."

"No, it's no big deal. Just leave the materials determined for each work place."

Reese's job is not just to move around with a new airship Noah and deliver the necessary materials to 'unlimited storage'.

They also have the materials needed to develop the North go around in the right amount where they need it.

For stone, etc., there is no problem with some exposure to wind and rain, but wood, etc., is unsavory for boulders.

"Infinite storage" does not degrade because time has stopped, it does not take a place, and it is possible to get in and out of the area as much as you like.

Therefore, at a rate of once every few days, the lease is asked to move to the site and release the materials from "Infinite Storage".

"What's more difficult is Mr. Lute's paperwork. When you visited the office, you had a pile of paperwork on your desk... Isn't Mr. Lute the one who can't?

"This one's fine, too. Because Shea, the escort maids, Bernie, Muir, and other members are helping us."

They're just tasked with expanding the corner of the city, and paperwork isn't the norm.

Assuming I challenged the paperwork by myself, it would be physically impossible to solve it - because Shea and the merchants and noblemen were helping me, I was only 'busy with paperwork' and managed to twist out enough room to inspect it this way.

If I were alone, I wouldn't be able to make it even with Death March every day.

It's not like there's a problem, though.

The problem is that... I have let the leash go around the workplace by itself to do paperwork.

"Some of the craftsmen are rough, so I'm a little worried about letting them head for the leash alone, but they're short on manpower..."

"Mr. Lute is too worried. Even so, I have traveled with you through numerous training grounds and iron fires. Somewhat, you can deal with as much as you want, even if you are tangled up in a man who is rough on the strong side. It's a little too much to worry about."

She inflates her cheeks to express her displeasure.

Sure, she looks like a pretty girl, but she's an ancient geisha who's fought on the front lines as a PEACEMAKER team member.

It would be a cute thing compared to Demon King or Lance no matter how many rough artisans their opponents are concerned with.

... For once, I'm stabbing nails at them to keep them from causing problems, and I'm letting members look around the expanding southeast including the north as well as the whole city.

I'm obviously off topic to get Reese in a grumpy, inflated cheek mood.

"Sorry, sorry. But it's not a bad thing to walk you through your lovely, lovely wife, is it?

"Cute, I can't believe you're adorable..."

Reese, who was swelling her cheeks in a grumpy manner, dyed her cheeks happily with the phrases' cute 'and' lovely '.

The grump earlier disappears like a lie.

I was so choked up, I was worried about letting myself go around the office again.

And I'm in a good mood for now, but I've never been over it.

Add a topic so you don't get in a bad mood.

"I'm done for the day, and we should head back to HQ for dinner. I'm hungry. What's for dinner today? I'd like to soak my bread in a hot stew. What does Reese want to eat?

"Is that me? Right...... the stew looks delicious too, but you want something sour. Pickled cabbage with vinegar, vinegar or something."

"Is it sour? Is that what you want because you're tired from walking? Then maybe we can eat sweets and desserts together after dinner."

"Is it a sweet thing...... hmm, I'd rather eat sour fruit or something rather than sweet. If not, I'd like to squeeze the lemon and divide it with water."

My legs stop at her response.

Reese also stopped moving because her legs stopped.

She leans her little neck with a question mark in her head because I stopped halfway there.

"Mr. Lute, what have you done?

"Reese... how are you feeling lately?

"What is it all of a sudden? Are you feeling... uh, right... you're feeling a little weak. And you say it's a little hot. Ah! Maybe I, I got a cold!

"That wouldn't be a cold..."

I'm about to hold my head.

No, rather, how could you not have noticed her change in health?

Reese's home, months from the hot springs district of Enor, the high elf kingdom. There would be no excuse for everyone to be busy because they got their hands on Northern Development in earnest.

"Reese is more than that, don't walk. I'll take you to headquarters.

"Duh, what is it all of a sudden!? Come on!

When I declare to her, I don't even care about my surrounding eyes, and I hug Reese as a princess.

Because in case anything happens to her dodge activates, it's too scary.

If so, it would be many times better for me to go back to HQ in my arms.

I literally rush back to headquarters with the prudence of carrying the broken goods, ignoring her accusations as she inquires with a raw warm & jealous mixed glance and a reddish look in Reese's shame.

I decided to call a doctor before eating when I got back to my private room.
