- One...

Peppy.

Someone's tapping on my cheek. What is it, a fourteen?

When I opened my eyes, the feather cat was fixing my hair. Oh, a feather cat. Even so, when you do, really, you're just a cat.

Mr.14 had...... stopped moving with her eyes open. No, so why is the machine sleeping? We're done taking a break.

I waited a little while, but there was no sign of Type 14 moving out. You're completely out of function.

I have no choice but to pull one of the twin tails with the sidearm Naraka.

"Hiya!

Type 14 jumped. No, you know, you, you're a machine, right? What the heck, hey... After all, it looks like a different world, with something spiritual inside it, doesn't it? That's a very mechanical reaction, isn't it?

"Master, the charge is complete."

Yes, yes, I'm not sure what it is, but you're feeling better by sleeping. Good for you.

Then we'll resume our exploration.

Six doors...

You feel southeast, northeast, north, northwest, southwest, taking the tokoro that came in. There are no doors to the east and west.

All right, shall we go around in order from the southeast?

Uh, if I go through this door, is it another area where I can't use my skills? I guess so, yeah, I guess so. Uh, it's too commonplace for me to have my skills activated, and I'm a little hesitant. But we have to move on...

"Type 14, Emilio, let's go."

- Two...

As soon as I opened the southeast door and went outside, my vision blurred. Uh, here's what happens. I can't look far, I can't speak, I don't know the language, I only have my hands in disarray... I feel terrible.

"Master, I will carry you"

When I was thinking about that, I was lifted from my back to Type 14. They are restrained and transported as they are. Type 14 walks refreshingly through a bridge with no columns. No, that Mr. Fourteen, I, I can walk normally. No, uh.

Then he walked to the wall side and kicked through the metal door mounted there. No, let's open it normally.

What, huh?

You can see the bridge next door. Because I have bad eyes, I can only see it blurry, but I still have a bridge in eight directions. Does that make the east and west any special way forward? You know, coming around from other places. Uh, if I could use my "flying" skills, I'd be able to fly a little bit to make sure. Even Mr.14 seems impossible to fly over to the bridge on the other side.

I can't help it. I mean, I can't do anything because Mr. 14 is forcing me to.

The end of the metal door, which Type 14 kicked, was a passage, and further ahead, it was once again a spiral staircase. Do you want to go down further? This hierarchy is pretty big. It must be the part buried in the sand at the distance it came down, but it was so big that it wasn't uncomfortable to be told that this was originally the first floor.

A four-legged white dog down a spiral staircase? such warcraft appeared. Now what?

Master, my sight is blocked by Lady Crimson.

Uh, yes, yes, because I have it in my hand. I'm sorry to interrupt.

When I was bringing back Lady Crimson, a white dog jumped in there. Type 14 dodges it without difficulty.

"Now."

Yes, sir.

- [Iceland] -

A spear of ice as sharp and pointy as a branch of a tree born out of my hand pierces a white dog. The white dog shook his body once and stayed misty. A blow. Even so, Mr. Fourteen. If you can send the signal in proper words, why did you twist my skin last time? Like on purpose? Is that on purpose?

Down the spiral stairs, it was a small room. There was a pedestal in the center of the room that seemed uncomfortable even with a holy sword or something stabbed at it, with lettering engraved underneath it.

What, what? A riddle? Hmm, it's tight that you can't read the letters.

Model 14 approaches the pedestal.

When I looked at the pedestal from the top, I saw a gap that would plug something in. Was it still stabbed with a sword? Why don't you try plugging it in with Lady Crimson?

You felt my will. Don't be ridiculous, Lady Crimson. But I trembled. Oh, I'm sorry.

"Master, this place looks like a dead end. I'll be back."

Hmm. Well, will it? Do you want to check the other doors for now?

- Three...

Return to the usual room with the pedestal, then head to the northeast door. It was made the same as the southeast there, and at the end there was just a pedestal where something seemed to have stabbed it.

The tip through the north side was a spiral staircase just after the bridge, the end of which was the end. Mmm.

The northwest side, too, is just built with a bridge, a spiral staircase, and a pedestal that hasn't stabbed anything like it.

Same with the southwest side.

……

Return to the shelter with the central pedestal.

I'm stuck. There's a pedestal in each direction where I think something was stabbed, so if we plug something in there, something's gonna happen and we're gonna make progress. I know that, I know that. But you don't have it.

Again, are the east and west sides suspicious? There's a way forward, hey. I thought it was a hidden door, but there was no response. Well, I wasn't expecting it when I couldn't see the line even with my skills ready to use.

Mmm.

I wish I could read even the letters written on the pedestal where something stabbed me.

"Type 14, is it possible to read the letters on the pedestal?

For once, ask Mr. Fourteen.

"Was it the letters that were painted on that pedestal?

but type 14 said so and shook his head sideways. Uh, can't you even type 14?

"But I remember the shape, so now it's possible to write it down"

To?

Type 14 takes out the stiffness of the ink from the nose. Why, you have such a thing!

And I started writing something on the floor. Paint what appears to have been written on the pedestal in the direction of each door. Oh, just like that.

Precisely as if the machine had written it down, just as it was...... So is Type 14 a machine?
