Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

At the end of the wall Letty had smashed, she dreadfully stepped into it. The light of the lantern is above, but the ceiling and the back wall are not visible. There was a vast space full of silence and darkness.

Isn't that a boss fight?

Letty, who was recovering LP by drinking ampoules, said as she looked around. Toka and Amy are gazing sharply, but there's no sign of anything coming.

At his feet, there was a smooth, undulating floor where he could not find any presence.

"Don't be alarmed." It's a classic thing to come to my feet at a time like this. "

It's a classic, isn't it?

I walked through the darkness with Letty, who snorted roughly. Rely on the lantern lights and aim for the center of this space for the time being. After all, if there was something there, it would be there.

And I didn't expect that.

Welcome, guests

Ahh!

A voice was heard from beyond the darkness by an old man. Lettie instantly sets up her weapons and Amy unleashes the barrier. Only the chiffon raised a small scream and grabbed my arm.

You don't have to be so vigilant. I'm disarming everything. "

A sober voice is emitted again, and the Lord appears under the light of the lantern. Lettie's eyes opened again when they saw the figure.

"Child, no dwarf...?"

It was a petite old man dressed like a dark blue military uniform. A rich white beard is stored, and the blue eyes peeking from under the hat are inhabited by intelligence. But his back is even smaller than Fairy's, and he's lower than my waist.

I am constantly adding language packages, but are my intentions communicated without any problems?

"Ah, ahh. I know what you're talking about, but..."

I nodded in confusion at the question of the little old man. I know what his words mean, but I don't know what they mean. It was such a strange situation.

"My name is Neseca, I work for DWARF, and I am the head of security at the first important information record sealing site."

"Neseca, dwarf... first important information record sealing base..." There's a lot of words I don't know anymore. "

The old man remembers his headache at the unfamiliar word that popped out of Neseka's mouth, and confirms that there is no hostility towards the other person for the time being. Although he is wearing a uniform, he is completely round.

Still, Amy is unleashing a barrier against Arts and Special Abilities, and Lettie and the others aren't alert. Neseca didn't seem to be dissatisfied with it either.

"I presume that you are a creature of highly intelligent metals..." Can't you tell me who you really are? "

"Well, that's right..."

For some reason, I'm supposed to speak on my behalf, and everyone else is keeping quiet.

Neseca called us metal lifeforms. Well, it's a research robot doll, so maybe it's not a big mistake. I open my mouth, worrying about what I've explained.

"We are a member of the First Survey and Development Group of the Planetary Izanami Expedition." Metal life forms are a bit of a flaw, but, well, it's hard to explain around here. You know what a robot is? "

Is that a robot?

Yeah? Well, is that what happens?

I'm puzzled to hear what I didn't think.

We were released from the planet Izanagi, our home planet. In other words, Izanagi should have someone to carry out Izanami's plan, and the T-1 commanders should be following their instructions. Then we'll have the same masters.

But I've never thought about it before when I play FPO.

You read the confusion from our facial expressions, Neseka nods lightly and re-divides it.

Anyway, the fact that we can speak and talk is very important to us.

"Huh. That's good."

I can't figure out who Neseca really is. From the looks of it, it looks like the body is a properly blooded creature. As a result, they may not be the survivors of the Zero Advance Survey Reconnaissance Group. However, this should have been a structure related to an uncivilized civilization...

"I want to ask you a question." What kind of race does Neseca call a dwarf? "

Since we answered the question, I'd like you to answer it. Neseca nods as if she understood my intentions.

DWARF is not the name of the original race. It's an old term for a deeply important information recording agency. "

"Deep important information recording institutions...". What the hell is that? "

"At the direction of the information supervisor, it records a wide variety of information filled with this place. We gather, protect, and pass on information. Here, the first important information record sealing site is also a facility for that purpose."

That's what Neseca said, turning to the darkness.

“So this is a big library?”

I wonder if that's the case.

Lettie and the others listened to Neseca and softened their attitude a bit. By her parable, Lact leaned his head.

"Library. A facility that collects and records books and materials. You may paraphrase that. The first important information record sealing site here is a 32-level record storage area."

"Thirty-two levels..." Is there that much down here? "

Unexpectedly, I looked at my feet and fell asleep.

I feel like I've dived quite deep underground in the first and second tiers alone, but I still have a lot of space left.

That said......

Neseka strokes her white beard and slightly drops her shoulder.

"This place was in a state of indefinite sealing. Is there a defect in the maintenance of the Facilities Department? Most of the facilities have been severely damaged."

"Is that so..."

Neseca's eyes blinded by sorrow. Time has passed to become a ruin, and the damage is unimaginable.

Our mission is to collect, store and inherit wisdom. That's not all. That's why it's like this- "

"Whoa!? What are you doing?!"

Neseka suddenly broke her knee as she listened silently. I put my forehead on the floor and sat down deeply.

He tries to get up in a hurry, but he is stubbornly stubborn. It is not as if it is too heavy for the appearance or too strong.

"I just want you to stop destroying the facility." I just want to avoid the burning of the crystals of wisdom gathered by my compatriots. "

"Wait, that's what we're going to do..."

The red-haired one over there! Please, please! '

Eh, it's Letty!?

Neseca turned to Letty and lowered her head again. After receiving a sudden plea, Letty rolled her eyes and moved her ears in distress.

"Listen to me for now, Neseka." We didn't come here to destroy this facility, either. "

I slapped Neseca on the back and calmed her down, ready for something spectacular. What we were instructed to do in the [Special Exploitation Command; Ancient Art Reading] was to investigate the "Remains of Unexplored Civilizations" and not to destroy them. In the first place, locals who can communicate (?), so we should discuss it first.

“We want to know what this place is and who Neseca is. In some cases, we may be able to help.”

Mh, mhh......

I said it while rubbing my back. Whether that thought had passed on to him or not, his stiff and strong shoulders were falling down.

"Anyway... that's right. This is not a problem that we alone can cope with."

I'll pull Neseca's hand and get her up. In that way, I think about what I should do in the future.

No matter what I think, Neseca's existence exceeds the level that we [Shiratori] alone can handle. Looking at the whole event, it's a big point. "...... if it were......"

For now, throw it around Wade or T-1.

"You're going to get angry again..."

But that's the only way.

The manager or commander should be the one to rely on in these times. If we can get Neseca in touch with them, something will happen.

"Can Neseca get out of here? Or I'd like you to get us out of here. I want to contact our boss."

Supervisor, superior authority, decision maker, responsible person. Um, okay, I want to trust you guys. "

"Thank you."

After thinking for a while, Neseka looked up at me and nodded. I have to do everything I can to live up to his trust.

Notify the security department!

Suddenly, Neseka raised her voice. He went on as we stiffened with surprise.

"From the current time, all the authority of the General Manager of the Security Department is delegated to the Deputy General Manager. If I do not return after the prescribed number of days, I will promote the Deputy General Manager to General Manager. Under the direction of the deputy general manager, continue to investigate the current status of the facility!

A flowing voice echoes through the cavity.

Roger that!

"Uuhii!?"

Immediately afterwards, countless replies came from the surrounding darkness. The voices that were emitted all at once without a minute's slippage echoed in the wide space.

Lact screams and grabs me by the waist. When the lanterns illuminated the surroundings, a large number of dwarfs lined up around us.

He's wearing the same dark blue uniform and hat as Neseca, with his blue eyes turned toward us.

"No, when..."

We are DWARF Security Department. It's easy to move around the facility without understanding. "

Actually, aren't you going to do quite a bit of work?

It's all I can do.

Letty and Amy smile bitterly in battle. Neseca said calmly.
