Shadow Brave's Readventure - Re-Tale of the Brave

Episode 436: Site Survey - Restart -

Locke took me to start investigating the ruins, two days. The second day of the investigation came to an end without any special mention, and an approximate outline of the site had been found.

"What... apartment, sounds like?

"Right."

Rin agrees with Sola that she has been looking at the map for the past two days. In the end, there were no major discoveries in the ruins, and when it came to what I understood, as large a number of rooms as the first one entered, I found nothing important.

Nevertheless, it would not be the case if it were said that the investigation should not be carried out. Anyway, in the room, if it's even one of the books, it's a big discovery. While I thought there might be nothing, the investigation had to be carried out.

"For once, there was a wreckage of an object that looked like a security golem… it felt like it was all destroyed or losing its power source."

"Well, luckily there's no battle..."

The story goes on. For once, apparently, there were remains of objects like the Golem that were protecting this building. but apparently there was no indication anywhere to move because he was caught in a collapse or lost power because it had been super long.

"Then... underground, huh?"

The moment gives its opinion, looking at the map I got from Rock. After that, I also went into the room where Sho had his hand on it, but there was still a spiral staircase there as seen.

Besides going up to the upper floor, it's also going downward to the lower floor. But it was closed with something like a metal shutter for what reason. The basement was not observed because of that.

"What do you want to do? Do you want to reach underground as well?

"... right. For once, I just want to see it. That said... we need to restore the power supply that should be here somewhere."

Following an inquiry from Sola, Rock thinks for a while and concludes. There was also a room on the upper floor that had not yet been cut out, and it was possible that there was a source of power in it that they had not found. There was no chance that the shutter could be opened or closed.

Because the shutters were made of high purity demon ore (Orihalcon) that cannot be destroyed by their power today. In other words, even Rank A adventurers have difficulty destroying shutters made of Demon Ore (Orihalcon). When that happened, the power supply had to be restored.

"If there is, underground... when the underground is sealed, there must be a spare power circuit somewhere"

"What are your expectations...?

"Unfortunately, you don't get it. I've been doing archaeology for a long time too... well, I don't think I have one architectural designer. Then it's no wonder there's no uniformity in where the power supply is."

It was an instant word rock, but I shook my head at that word. Well, this is an investigation to find out. I couldn't even have known.

"Hmm...... well, the investigation is the last one tomorrow. That's as far as I can go. Worst of all, it doesn't matter to the extent that I know there is an underground. Anyway, this is just a previous investigation."

Rock laughs bitterly at Sola and the others who are somewhere in the basement. We're going to investigate the rest of the upper floors, but it's not like there's ever been a battle there.

Maybe there are important people and things on the rest of the upper floors, and there's no chance that security will be tight at once. Given that, it's more important to investigate properly than to rush ahead.

"Okay. Well, as for the basement, once it's finished without a problem on top,"

"Oh, right. Besides, the fact that there was a shutter made of demon ore (Orihalcon) does not necessarily mean that something important is stored underground. It was simply used as a warehouse, and the more important items above remain. Do it right up there, then let's do it."

"Yes."

Sora snorts at Rock's words. And the second day was thus over.

The next day is the third day. Sola and the others had once again left Rin's brothers and sisters behind, entering the remaining upper floors.

"Oh, from here, that sounds different..."

"Sounds like it."

Rock acknowledges the words of cherry blossoms. At the same time we went up to that hierarchy, we could see the difference. The number of doors dropped all at once. Furthermore, the moment I waited in the entrance area, the size of the room at the end of the door was apparently increased at once.

As such, we will also map and download that data as usual this time, and under the instructions of Locke, we will initiate an investigation.

"Hmm... there's something like a wall, don't worry... the stairs are over here, so I think there's something..."

"Um... a small room at this end. Could it be the room where you keep the power or something?

It was a lock that looked at the map and was thinking about the next action, but Rin pinches his mouth from the side there. They knew more about the map than Rock did, thanks to the fact that they had been glistening with it for so long.

"Mm?... Oh, this size... sure, that's likely. All right. You want to go ahead here and restore the power?

"No, that could wake up the worst security system, so if you're going to investigate, I think you should make it a big room first. If you're unlucky enough not to be able to restart the system, you might have to withdraw at once."

"Hmm... that's for sure, right. Let's do that."

Following cherry blossom suggestions, Rock modifies his own plan. As for him, I thought it would be easier for him to investigate, but it's certainly not possible that there's a security system in this building. In some cases, there is no chance that the guard golems who were losing power will wake up.

Then it would be better to do everything you can first and get ready to withdraw perfectly. You'll be lucky to have easy information on all the upper floors, even if it sucks, and the kind of space that makes it an emergency evacuation place where you can escape into a big room.

"Okay, let's get back to the top floor."

"Yes."

With the policy in place for now, we shall all go ahead. That's where we're headed, the big room on both sides. but I went in there and what I saw was a ton of bookshelves.

"Wow... this is brilliant. Is this the library?

On the boulder. This seems to have been unexpected as well, seeping slight excitement. On the third day of the investigation, it was finally a discovery that seemed to have been made.

I don't know what it is, some of it weathered over the course of thousands of years, but with any luck, I might have had a book that I could read. This is arguably a good enough harvest. As such, we shall conduct a study of the library-like space for some time.

"... what the hell? Recipe book?"

"Oh, which one?

Yuri shows interest in Sola's words. It was a booklet that I appropriately took, but what it said inside was no different than a regular recipe book. Well, even so, I'm pretty worn out, so I don't understand perfectly.

"Hmm... maybe it's a joint library for residents"

"I'm sorry to hear that... even some advanced magic book would have been nice..."

"What are you saying? It would be a treasure above all else. This kind of cultural habit helps me to know what they were doing at the time. From there, we may know what kind of technical system we have, and so on. You can't make a fool of yourself to describe these cultural customs."

To Sora's unfortunate words, Rock protests with a little excitement without taking his eyes off the book. Apparently, he was unhappy with Sola for not understanding this importance. This is why the adventurer could hear the twinkle of daisies. Apparently, my sexuality as a researcher had come out.

"Erm, Mr. Rock. I don't have much time left, so I think I should go next..."

"Mm... a little more... no, you do. I'm also concerned about the big room across the street. There's an underground. We'll keep this room for a full investigation later."

It's a lock that was a remnant of Sora's words, but she decides to make sure she has the time left to move to the next room herself.

Apparently, this room alone is well worth a full investigation. Well, we've got tons of books up to here. Even if you hang it in the country, you'll be able to form an investigation team. Thus, we leave the large room once and enter the large room directly opposite it.

"This is... Hmm, I see. This looks like a warehouse. I didn't expect to put bookshelves and warehouses on the same hierarchy. Well, maybe it's a structural relationship..."

"Ha..."

"Well, do you want to check the room all the way for now? If we don't have anything to block this far, we can use the lantern to maximize output and illuminate the entire perimeter of the room."

When the lock sees a large room with a foreseeable wall, it raises the output of the lantern-shaped magic prop all at once to illuminate the entire room.

Then it was still a warehouse-like room there. Various objects were placed in clutter, but some of them were seen as normal stepladders.

Sometimes there was not much left here, and the investigation would be concluded with little or no investigation. Whatever it is, I wonder what it is where I look at regular stepladders and regular rusty dust. As such, we decided to enter the power room and the room as planned from the beginning.

"Seniors. I'm going to turn it back on. Take care of yourself."

'Oh, okay. Rin, the power of the building is about to go on. Pay attention. "

The power room and the thought room were true power rooms. There are ancient civilizational breaker-like magic props installed there, which fortunately have never been destroyed. If so, once we were all ready, all we had to do was try to turn it on or not.

"All right... well, let's get you in"

A lock waiting in front of the demon prop signals with his eyes together, looks at everyone's nod, and turns it on. Then the lights on the ceiling, which until now had been turned off, turn on.

"... you seem to be alive... Phew... I'm always nervous at this moment."

"I checked the power over here. The lights went on. But there's no sign of anything moving."

'… Security system restarted… The security system has been restarted by means of a reserve power supply on the top floor. All systems have been reset due to reboot on reserve power. The lock of each bulkhead moves to the open state. You can now open it with the switch on the side. The alert status has been reset. When returning to the situation prior to reboot, please set it again in the security room according to the provisions'.

My voice rang from somewhere indoors at the same time as I was contacted from the moment. Apparently, the security system has been reactivated.

However, once the security system was off, the situation was reset, and the attack could be carried out. I nodded to the voice as Rock was convinced.

"Hmm... apparently there are also security rooms in the basement? Fortunately, the reboot of the spare power supply seems to reset the security system, etc."

"What do you want to do? Do you want to head that far?

"Can you ask?

"... you will. Time still seems okay, so let's go."

The activity time was limited to a maximum of 8 hours per day. If there was a battle, it would be shorter, and even if it went too far, this time its exploratory fatigue would remain the other way around, which could interfere with the battle. It comes directly to the problem of everyone's life, so we won't have a choice.

"... for now, you look safe. Don't you even need a lantern anymore... Okay. Let's go underground."

"Ah, yes. Senior, are there any abnormalities over there?

'... oh, I can't hear anything weird. The brightening brightens up to the end of the aisle, but there's no sign of anything coming up the stairs you went to. "

"Right. Okay, you guys stay put. Let's go back to the entrance once. Maybe with a reboot, the map's underground."

When Rock heard the instant words, he bracketed a lantern-shaped magic item on the belt part of his clothes, and decided to return to his place once and for all with the escort.
