I narrowed my eyes to the glare and checked the sight.
There was a long stone passageway in front of him, and in the distance there was a city that shone brightly in the sun. Two unknown moons float in the blue sky, and water flows from countless islands drifting in the sky.
Maples burst out, followed by Frau.
The two peered down the aisle.
"Look, it's a big waterfall."
"Hey, you're floating here!" What's going on!? "
I peek down too.
There was a beautiful waterfall at a position that seemed to be within reach. Directly below, the forest stretches, and a large amount of water falls into a waterfall pot, and the river runs wobbly across the forest to the horizon.
The spherical building floats without pillars, as you can see from the previous location.
I've never seen such a view.
Everything is new.
"I've never been here before, but I feel nostalgic."
"Yes, yes, yes! And Flau!" I miss you so much, I'm going to cry somehow! "
"Actually, I'm something too." The smell you've just received is very similar to the smell of your grandmother. "
Head to the city while having a conversation.
◇
The city of the ancient species existed without decay.
Every building has a design that looks like it was seen over there, and the waterways and fountains have beautiful water flowing through them.
But there was no sign of anyone at all.
Terribly quiet as time has come to a halt. When I looked inside the building, there were traces of things and life, but I didn't see any creatures at all.
What's going on? Where are all the ancient species?
I don't quite understand why the Dragon Man disappeared in the first place.
I heard from Tamamo's grandmother that there used to be a big war. But there must have been some survivors. Otherwise, I can't explain why I'm here.
Summon the Vassal Beast.
Shhhh!
”Chupi”
"Kura ~"
I gave instructions to Rozuke, Chupimi, Kratan, and the three cats.
Find any creature in the city.
The three were scattered in three directions.
"If you think about it, this place is full of treasures." You can get as many artifacts as you want. "
Flau clings to the shop glass.
There were piles of scrolls in the shop, and there were tools everywhere that I could not remember.
I don't know what a mountain of treasures is.
But I don't feel like putting my hands on it. It was too beautiful to call it a ruin, and I was about to feel like I was trying to make ends meet.
"Master, how about resting in this house?"
"Oh, oh..."
At some point, the maple seemed to be hunting for a nearby house, and he was looking out the front door and calling me like he was at home.
I was just hungry, so should I eat here?
I'm sorry for the owner, but I think I'll only rent the house for a little while.
It's more normal than I thought.
The ancient houses were not so different from the houses I knew.
On the contrary, I even feel like I had a more inconvenient life than today. Even so, I was able to discover the sophistication of the technology everywhere.
"This pan is very light and hard."
The maple that found the pot in the kitchen is stunned.
The pan was as light as a feather, and even we could not destroy it because of its level.
It seems that the ancient species' technological capabilities have continued to advance and finally led to the creation of difficult cookware. Moreover, it should be feared that it is commonly owned by ordinary people.
"Master... I want this."
Mesmerized by the ancient seeds of the pot, the maple asks permission to bring them home.
Her big eyes were sparkling and her tail was shaking more than usual.
No, but it belongs to people. That said, refusing the request of a cute slave.
If we can find someone, we can hear what's going on.
”I'm so puzzled... you're back with a delicious white bread, aren't you?”
Drunk, Frau seemed to be dreaming of Panta.
The maple is sleeping and sleeping.
I woke up quietly and stood by the window.
Even though it is late at night, the city is dark and quiet.
Is this where my mother was born and raised? I'm not sure yet. But there is definitely something in this ancient city.
Looking up at the sky, the two moons were shining.
It's been transferred, right...?
It was different from the world in the mirror like the Celestial Beast Realm.
Well, no matter how much you think about it, a fool like me won't understand.
――
I suddenly felt my gaze and looked at the roof of the building opposite me.
But there is no shadow like a person.
Is it your imagination?
I went back to bed and put on a blanket.
It's a little chilly. Yeah, let's get a maple tail.
She pulled the maple tail next to her into the blanket.
There it is. It was also very pleasant to the touch.
Holy shit.
◇
Today is lunchtime on the roof.
With a sandwich made for me by the maple in one hand, I waited for the return of the three beasts.
More than a day has passed since I sent him on a search.
Although I knew at a glance that the ancient capital was vast enough, I was slow to return anyway.
Gradually, anxiety boils over.
"Hey, isn't that like a castle over there?"
Frau pointed in the direction of a large temple-like building.
If we go there, we might get some clues.
Pione and the others were waiting for me. Even Sein doesn't know when he'll show up. I want to go back as soon as possible.
After a quick meal, we make our way through the main street to the building.
"--Look, there are people!"
I found a man at the entrance of the building.
The person seems to have noticed us and is still intent on contacting us.
The closer you get, the clearer the person's appearance becomes.
Female, it also seems to be human. (I can't tell the difference between Dragon Man and Human, so I dare say so here.)
It is that look that is eye-catching. She wears shabby clothes and a beautiful face that looks like a craft. It was as if the woman who had been a princess until just now had been reduced to the status of a slave.
And the necklace was hung with a wooden necklace that was unevenly crafted.
"Thank you for coming from so far away." This machine is M2KK-00742. Please call me "Naese". "
She named herself Naesse, bowing her compliments.
Are you sure it's a golem?
Only once, I had seen a life-support type that looked like a human.
However, I felt slightly uncomfortable at that time, but she didn't have any of that in front of her. No matter how you look at it, you are a person.
She smiled and waited for something.
Could it be that you're waiting to introduce yourself?
"Ahh!"
I was inadvertent.
She was blindfolded in front of her.
Looking back, the maple is inflating its cheeks with some dissatisfaction.
I still can't get her angry points.
“My name is Thor Avan. This is Maple, this is Flau."
"You're Lord Thor, aren't you? You have been enrolled in memory. So, let's do this."
Prompted to go to the example building.
The moment you step inside, you instantly realize that this is a special place.
Countless lines of light ran like blood vessels on the polished pure white walls and floors.
In addition, at the entrance, there was a glass cylinder that penetrated the ceiling, and among them was a tree that reduced the world tree that shone with emerald color.
The outside was like another world, but the inside of the building was another world.
We were speechless in a sight beyond common sense.
“If you don't mind, may I ask you a question?”
"Ah, ah, anything."
“How did you get to know us? I already thought this city had been forgotten."
"Looking for my mother's hometown, to this point."
She nods only once convinced.
So, Tor-sama is Quon-sama's son, right?
