"Oh! Sure, with that decadence, you don't seem to be mistaken for Satan's new castle"

Gaius nodded loudly many times, just saying he was convinced.

Gaius was very intrigued as well as surprised by the enormity of it.

"Because Satan is huge. I know you're building it to suit that, but it's a huge castle nonetheless ~"

"... sounds like you'd be interested?

Gaius responded to the query with Dove's grin.

"That's right. Basically, men admire huge things. Isn't that what Dove does?

Then Dove smiled and nodded.

"... right. I think I'm interested, too."

"Again ~, what is that clingy rhetoric? Aren't you really very interested?

Dove nodded as he grinned bitterly.

"... right"

Then Gaius slapped his hands on bread.

"Okay! Then we have nothing else to do, and let's go visit that castle!

When Gaius said so, he walked out toward the castle without waiting for Dove's consent.

Dove laughed bitterly again, and followed him silently.

"Looking closer, even bigger ~!

I looked up at the castle from the bottom and said, at such an angle that Gaius would have a sore neck.

Then Dove also said, with a rare and slightly upbeat voice.

"... sure. This is… quite something."

"Oh. I think it's on a level where there's no other example."

"... right. This will certainly be nothing else."

"But it still doesn't look like we're in the process of building it. This is how amazing it will be when it's done."

"... um. Right."

For a while they continued to look down at the beauty.

And finally, like that, Gaius lowered his face.

"All right! Then let's take a look inside."

Dove nodded to Gaius's suggestion.

"... right. You won't have a hand in coming home this far."

"That sort of thing. Then let's get to it."

Gaius started walking with Stasta.

And when he reached the immense portal, he called out loudly.

"Open the door!"

Then Dove said with a bitter smile.

"... so that's what opens it?

Then Gaius leaned his neck in a whisked manner.

"Come on? I just wanted to say this once."
