Heavenly Castle

I felt the wind caressing my skin unexpectedly and opened my eyes.

Looks like he's sleeping on his back on the ground. I feel like a short grass is touching my hand.

I put my hands on the ground and raised my torso. I just opened my eyes and I can only see blurry, but I can see the lights in the back. Apparently, he's in the shade now.

Looking left and right, the thick trees of the trunk grow at equal intervals. He looked up again and realized that the branches of the great tree and the blue leaves were creating shade.

Stand up slowly and look to the front.

Before the trees lined up to make their way, there was a blue sky with several clouds floating.

Walk out naturally to be pulled by something and follow a path sandwiched by trees.

The moment the trees on the left and right broke, the sky widened in front of me.

The sky stretches from left to right. Clouds are the height of your gaze and you can recognize yourself as above the sky.

A good breeze blew and I heard the birds roar from somewhere.

"... awesome"

I can only get that feeling in too magnificent a view. Once I looked out into the sky and lowered my gaze, there was a staircase garden stretching out like a gradual field.

Gardens with buildings everywhere, but large steps at a time. The sensation is paralyzed, yes, but it looks quite wide for each step.

And the back of the garden is empty already. I'm afraid it's going to be like a chopped cliff when I stand on the edge.

Now look back at the way you came and look left and right through the gaps in the trees. Then, to the left and right, it came to my attention that the bright white building stood on this slope again. The number of buildings is unlikely to be counted in a bit of a puff.

Is it the most expensive place where I am?

That's what I thought. I'm going back to the way I came. Too big a tree, not to mention a little, or a tree-like road lasted for a while.

Maybe there 'll be two hundred meters.

That's all I walked, the tree-lined road finally came to an end, with a view in front of me.

"Oh......!

It is a large castle with white walls that has emerged. The roof is a little red brown. The walls are made of stone with visible joints from a distance, with several large longitudinal windows.

Is there not one roof, or is there another independent tower adjacent to it? There were several pointy roofs out there apart from large wide roofs.

The castle is still high from the tree-lined roads, and apparently we have to climb and go the ramp that turns back several times.

The distance is likely, but if you look up, there's a giant castle.

"Alright, let's go"

The edge of my mouth rises naturally when I squeal, and I walk out toward the castle in exasperation.

I stood in front of the castle as I climbed up the slopes of a fairly gradient, and once again I looked at the size of the castle.

The castle itself is large, but so are the gates. It's a sturdy, double-open gate that looks like it's made of steel. Stunning tattoos are shaped and the edges are golden.

It's too luxurious a door, but the problem is that it's unlikely to open with manpower.

I looked up at the gate, thought for a few seconds, and turned my eyes around. The outer wall of a white castle with no spots stretches left or right. There still seems to be only one gate nearby.

I observed the gate again, and, uh, noticed that there was something like a round handle. It's a big metal handle.

"... pull this off,...?

There's no way it works. I thought so and checked the handle and realized that it was not the handle.

It's just a door knocker.

Half-heartedly, he lifts the handle and strikes a plate of metal attached to the gate.

A low, heavy noise sounded and the vibrations were transmitted to my hands.

"... it won't open."

The moment I squealed like that, the gate slowly began to open towards the inside of the castle at the same time, left and right.

Stepping into the castle looking at the gradually opening gate, the lights follow in turn from near the gate. An oil lamp attached to walls, ceilings, columns, etc.

"Ugh, oh..."

I lost my word in the brightened view of the castle.

The castle is wide and the ceiling is high enough to look up. The round arched ceiling features paintings of humans with white wings, men in armor, animals and dragons similar to lions, creating a strange atmosphere.

The thick and huge columns are also adorned with statues, one at a time, and decorations made of gold and silver are luxurious. The floor was made of polished and beautiful stones that seemed to reflect the ceiling, and a red carpet was laid from the gate towards the back.

It's like you got lost in a movie.

And as I look around the castle thinking about it, I notice the inside part of the unconsciously open gate.

"Wow!?

Something like a large man-shaped machine stood behind the gate. Is it about two and a half to three meters high? Slow body shape also looks somewhere adorable.

"You opened it."

I tried to talk to him, but he didn't respond.

"Thank you."

In the meantime, that's all I have to say and I shall return to my exploration in the castle.

Walking along the red carpet, there were three doors on the left and right, and a large cylinder on the front.

The cylinder stretched out to the ceiling had a door-like square line, and when I approached it, it cracked to the left and right alone.

"Automatic door"

When I put it in my mouth for nothing and said so, I went inside the cylinder. It's a round room with white walls on the white floor.

When I walk to about the middle and look back, I notice a panel next to the automatic door. The silver panel had white buttons to write numbers from one to five.

It is an elevator.

"I knew it would be the top floor."

When I pressed five without getting lost, the automatic door closed and the floor rose.

On the floor rising without sound, the walls suddenly become transparent and the view outside becomes visible.

Floors with hallways stretching like luxury hotels and doors to the left and right.

An unusual floor lined with countless robots in a dim, wide space.

There are many windows on all sides, floors with bright halls surrounded by sunlight.

and over a dozen seconds or so, the view of the halfway floors flowed one after the other, and the rise of the floor stopped on the last floor.

When the automatic door opens, the space becomes considerably narrower than before. It is dim and unclear, but it is like a room with mess and various objects.

When I got off the elevator, there was automatic light all over the room.

There are four huge screens in all directions on the wall, with several mysterious meters lined up underneath them. There are two desks and chairs lined up in turn from the front, and that seems to be eight sets in all directions.

"... that? It's not what I imagined..."

I sat in the chair in front with my neck tilted and looked on my desk. The surface of the desk appears to be on the screen and is blackened.

When I touched my finger, the sound of the phone rang, and the letters lined up on the black screen.

Find the letters in it that concern you.

"Lower realm camera......?

I try to put my finger down as I read the letters.

At the next moment, the huge screen on the wall on all sides was dyed blue.

If you look closely, the blue is twisted, and I could understand that it reflected the deep sea.

I guess the screens on all sides reflect their respective directions.

In other words, this castle is floating in the middle of the ocean.

"Above the sea. I don't think there's anything interesting."

Shortly after I whined to myself like that, just on the front screen, a black shadow appeared.

No, it's a fish shadow.

I can tell that the fish shadow is unusually large because it can also be seen as a white bird from time to time.

I've never seen it, but is it this huge if it's a whale or something?

As I was intrigued and observing with that in mind, the fish shadow became round, suddenly raising the water splash and breaking through the surface.

What came out of cracking water is a different looking mouth with sharp teeth growing irregularly.

Its huge mouth spread all over the screen and closed with Bakun in front of him.

The closed-mouth outfit looked like an ancho with lots of big round eyes.

"... something, I'm sorry"

I was angry at what I said was not funny. It also looked like Ankou appealed, and I apologized to the screen for once.
