Survival in Another World With My Master

Episode 149 ~ Rear Base ~

"I've never heard Shumel's voice like that before."

I wonder if that's vegetarian.

A few hours after flying over Arihiburg, we arrived at the rear hub - once known as the main hub - and each of us went outside Gondola to enjoy the air. This base has a pulse hole where magic can be extracted from exhaustion and the boundary between using it to remove monsters. It also takes full advantage of the environment where magic can be used for exhaustion, and incorporates various magic tools that use magic as power into everyday life.

Water wheel power and magic power processing machines are operating all over the city, processing ores collected from the surrounding wilderness and timber brought in from the black forest. Other devices that extract and refine magic overflowing with magic and remove it as magic crystals, iron and steel, and other devices that transform copper and silver with magic and make magic metals artificially have also been developed. However, the magic metal didn't seem to be doing very well.

Now, what's going on with the Schmel in question?

"Fugu... uu..."

"All right, all right. I was scared."

"I'm so sorry."

She was holding her knees a little further away and crying. Ira and Grande comfort the schmel, but the height of the schmel sitting on his lap and the two heads standing and stroking his head and back remains almost unchanged. That's a terrific difference in body. Or is it okay to rub your back with Grande's hands? Can't you scratch it or something?

You were afraid of heights, Schmell.

I think so.

"I've never noticed it before."

Neither of them knew about Schmell's height-phobia.

"Hmm... okay, I'll take care of Schmel."

Eh?

I will dash into the rear base with the stunning corn and bella. Isla and Grande will be all right. Harpy and the others are entering the rear base first to gather information, so I'll meet you there.

"I don't want to be suddenly run out."

"Honestly, I'm sorry."

Miss Zamir, the guard who arrived behind me to dash, got angry. After all, I couldn't help but be watching Shumel lying around like that.

"So, how does it work after this?

"For now, we're staying overnight. I can't help it if Schmel isn't in that state. Finish collecting and preparing information today and tomorrow, set your destination tomorrow night, and leave tomorrow morning."

"Sincerely,"

Go to the base gate with Ms. Zamir to discuss her upcoming plans.

Hey, let's go through ~

"Good work!

Slightly raise your hand and greet the gatekeepers guarding the barrier gate as you walk through the gate. The people living in the rear bases were protected here in the very early stages of the Liberation Army's launch. I remember almost all of my faces, so it's basically a face pass at the gate or anywhere. Well, the Liberation Army transport unit with escorts, us, or the Black Forest elves are the ones who come here in the first place, so the gatekeepers are almost formally there.

But we can't afford not to put it in terms of security. Perhaps there's not a 0% chance that a vague and unknown traveler will show up.

After passing through the gate, I'll head straight to the center of the base. Pirna and the four Harpies must have entered the base first to gather information, but where are they now? Could it be the cathedral in the middle, or a meeting place? If we were to gather information, we would be at a gathering place.

Ah, Milord

Milord, you came here first.

Looking at the cafeteria, Eaglet, a white harpy of the big bird species, and Capri, a tea harpy of the small bird species, were talking to the residents of the base. They seem to be taking a break from the early morning field work. Given the position of the sun, it's still a little early for lunch, so I guess it's a good place to rest until lunch.

"Yeah. Anything powerful?

The purpose of this expedition is to explore the ancient Adolese doctrine written by one of the relatively liberation-friendly Adolese sects, the archaeological sect to which the true Virgin Eleonora belongs, to confront the mainstream Adolese sect - that is, the pre-tampering Adolese doctrine.

Pilna, Eagle, Ayja, and Capri's four Harpies asked us to gather information on whether they had ever been inside the rear base before and seen anything like that, or whether they had any information on the ruins where they were sleeping.

"The ruins seem to have been found there, but they haven't been excavated."

"It's hard to dig up the ground. There are still gizmas around here."

"I see. Can you get me the location of the ruins?

Okay, I got it.

"I'll show my face to the people I'm with."

We leave this place to the two of us, and we move to the meeting place. I think the role of the cathedral is easy to understand from its name, but the people in the neighborhood gather to coordinate each other's work, supplies, personnel distribution, etc., such as the artisan organizer and farmer organizer, the Explorer leaders who explore various things outside the base, the organizer of people who take care of children, and the warehouse manager who manages supplies such as food. This sounds like a tough place to say, but the point is that people in positions gather for well end meetings.

"Sorry to bother you. And was Pilna here?"

When I entered the meeting point, I saw Pilna, a Blue Harpy, talking to the man who was the shepherd of the rear base. Ayja, a big brown bird species called Harpy, is very silent in nature, so it is not very suitable for discussion. That's why we're working with our leader, Pirna.

"Has Milord been here? Is there a cafeteria?

"Ah, I came by."

I see. Now I can get a copy of the map of the neighborhood. "

"That's good. Just knowing the surrounding terrain doesn't make exploration much easier."

It is a struggle to keep searching for things without maps or eyesight. It would be great to have a map.

"Didn't books come out as excavations?

"He hasn't come out yet... except for the underground ruins of this base, where the excavation is still underway. No matter how many gizma crossbows you have, you'll have to sit back and dig dirt for days and weeks to unearth the ruins...."

Having said that, the man with white hair looks sorry.

"I see. We can't afford that much. The remaining workers are mainly craftsmen, researchers, and farmers."

"Yes, that's what I'm doing... I'm mining and mining like a former Adventurer resident making a map of the surrounding area, mining various materials, and escorting a miner, but I can't get around to digging the ruins..."

"No, no, you don't have to be so sorry. I've seen people walking in the cathedral and the city, but I think they all looked calm and happy. I'm sure there's no mistake in the policy."

"Really... thank you for your excessive words."

A Werewolf man moistens his eyes and wipes away his tears. You're a tearful man!

"Er... yes, I want to stay here today, tomorrow and two days before I go exploring. Can you arrange two empty houses?

"Leave it to me. With regard to Mr. Koske's accommodation, there is still what you used to build this base. You can use it as it is because it is well cleaned."

I wonder if one thing would be okay. Isla, Grande, Harpy, the tenants, Schmel and Miss Zamir?

"I thought it was okay."

I think that's good.

……

Ms Zamir and Pirna each agreed. Ayja nodded with richness, so it seemed good.

"Well, that's what I'm talking about. Can you arrange bedding?

"Leave it to me. It's lunch time soon, but what about Koske and the others?

"What do we do? That's why we're eating in the cafeteria?

"Yes, I'm interested in what kind of meal it is."

"It's also important to see the life of Ichii."

Out of curiosity, Pilna supported Ms. Zamir taking lunch in the cathedral as if she were advising the royal family or something.

"I'm going to be a commoner in Ichii too."

"Haha, please joke."

"Mr. Koske is not an ordinary man."

"I don't think my husband and I are ordinary people."

It was quickly denied by the orchestrator of the Shepherd Beast, Miss Zamir and Pirna. Why?

"Oh, and I'm getting supplies and supplies from Arihibourg. I'd like to put it in the warehouse after dinner. Also, I'd like to know where the ruins are, so could you gather as much information as you can?

"I see. Contact your Supply Warehouse representative. I will also tell those around me to provide information about the ruins."

"Please. Then let's go to the canteen."

"Yes, I'll have the map ready by tomorrow."

"Thank you again. Bye."

Leave the meeting place after breaking up with the Shepherd's boss. Looking up at the sky, the position of the sun is close to the top. Is it about noon?

"Pilna, I'm sorry, but could you tell Isla and the others at the landing site to come to the cathedral?

"Yes, I understand! I'll be there."

Pilna smiled and flew away, happy to be relied on. Ayja seems to be wondering what to do with the flying Pilna and my face.

"Ajay, come with me to the canteen."

……

Ayja nodded and smiled happily. Hmm, but really quiet, this kid.

Eagle and Capri were waiting near the entrance when they returned to the main cafeteria with Ayja, who was kind of in a good mood, and Ms Zamir, whose face was, to be honest, unmistakable.

"Welcome back. Have you finished talking at the meeting point?

"Oh, I'm going to get a copy of the map. You're supposed to get it tomorrow, so let's take a look at the information we heard and decide where we're going. Now that Pilnah has gone to get the other five, I'd like to take a note of the information I have just heard."

"That's right. Over time, you might forget."

Place logs and crates in place of chairs near the entrance to the cafeteria to hear from Eagle and Capri about possible ruins.

"I see, in the middle of the wilderness in the northeast, there are many unnatural shaped rocks that seem to be stone at the foot of the eastern hills, as well as large dry woodlands that seem to be lake ruins in the west, and remnants of buildings that seem to be some kind of historic site around them."

"Where do I look?

Capri leans her neck. Looks like they're thinking about where else to look.

"I wish I could dig up the library and church ruins. It would have been helpful if it had been a map of the time."

"If it's a library, isn't it near the lake? No moisture is allowed in books or scrolls. There will be fog near the lake, and it will be tough if you encounter water damage."

Ms Zamir presents a persuasive opinion. Yeah, that might be true.

"I think it's a good idea. So, do you want to go northeast or east first? The final decision is tomorrow night, as there may be more information."

That's right.

Ms Zamir nodded with satisfaction. Miss Zamir is calm or intelligent. I had a strong image of jumping into the White Army with a spear and happiness during the battle of the fort, so I thought it was somehow a person close to my brain, but it didn't seem that way.

I've brought you all ~

Then Pilna, who brought Isla and the others back while we were discussing it. Schmel... yeah, not as usual, but he seems to be back somewhat.

Well, let's try eating lunch in the cathedral.
