It was a square flat house built to cling to a desolate land.

The walls were as brown as the earth and seemed to have been painted and hardened with clay, but in some cases they looked like concrete buildings.

Around the building, there is only a small stable "Umaya" and well, and nothing else like a magical beast cage can be seen.

Besides, the building itself seemed not big enough.It's only about five times the size of the house where Taketo lives.I wonder if a lot of beasts are caught here?

As he got off the carriage, several people came out to pick him up from the building.Rocco is a hungry man walking around with young men dressed like butlers.A sparkling jacket with a golden hobby doesn't suit this desolate land at all.

"No, no, thank you for coming so far.Dear Eisen, Dear Rosa, "

That said, Rocco grabbed both hands of the tacket with thick hands and grabbed them with a smile.

"Thank you for inviting me.Still, it looks like it's going to rain. "

The tacket looks up at the gray sky.

"The weather is changing around here, so there's no problem.Here you go. This way. "

Guided by Rocco, the taxis enter a building called the "shop."

Like a carriage, this one was luxurious enough to be imagined due to the elegance of the exterior.Deposit your coat in the back entrance hall of Chandelier and follow Rocco's lead into the next room.It was very similar to the salon he had at his auction.The pillars are shiny with gold foil on them.The walls are decorated with paintings that are difficult to understand, but look expensive, and there are several sets of sofas with fluffy chairs.It's like a gallery business space. What an impression.Encouraged to sit on one of them, Taketo and Chante lowered their hips.

Tea sets and cakes will be delivered shortly.

Rocco lowered his hips to the opposite seat.

"You must be tired of riding a carriage for a long time.Please relax for a while. "

It's not easy to say such a thing in such a restless situation, but Taketo smiles back with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern."

and took a teacup.I tried the cake too, but the more sugar you use, the more luxurious it will be!I had the impression that it was sweet anyway.

(Marie-san's cake is much better)

I miss Marie's taste when I eat such a sweet, violent cake.Is Chante thinking the same thing? When Chante and her eyes met to carry the cake into her mouth, she tilted her head with a subtle smile that seemed a little embarrassing.

After a short chat, Rocco stood still.

"Come on, is it time to go?"

Where's the tacket going?Looking at him, Rocco shook his stomach and laughed.

"I'm going to show you to the collection.We still have time before sundown.You can enjoy hunting. "

That said, Rocco laughed as much as he liked.

"I'll walk a little from here.Watch your step. "

The hallway leading to the basement was a staircase.It's a wide staircase like the one in the royal palace.The walls were bare and rough, but the stairs were smooth.A magic stone of light set in the ceiling lit the black staircase brightly.

From the top of the stairs, a cool wind climbs up, and the tacket shivers small.

Rocco slowly goes down the stairs one step at a time.The tackets went down the stairs, surrounded by Rocco and a few men.

The men wore classy jackets and other clothes, but the way they walked did not seem to have any gaps and their bodies were tight.Probably a member of this organization.

Various swords were lowered from the waist, and as they walked, they heard chatter and metal rubbing.

How far has it gone?

The fifth floor finally reaches the bottom of the stairs.It was a huge underground space that was completely open.The floor is as polished and black as the stairs, but the walls remain bare.It wasn't dark here either, thanks to the magic stone of light, but because of the space, it didn't fill everything with brightness.There were air holes everywhere in the ceiling, and a small, cut sky peered out from it.Then, the tacket notices that there are small animals stuck in the ceiling.

That could be a bat.I'm sure they've come in through the air hole and settled down.

Along with that, an intense beast smell stuck my nose.Turning to the underground space, you can see that there are many cages, large and small, by the wall.The cage was dark and didn't look too good, but the beasts were probably the only size they could fit.There are also cages where nails, hairs, tails, etc. peek from the gap in the iron lattice.

(There was. The beasts.

Manticore, chimera, carbuncle, slapnil...There were many other beasts locked up that I had only seen in the drawings.

Found it. This is the warehouse of this organization's beast.
