Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Solid ceilings ripple like water. Immediately after the unreal phenomenon, it collapsed with the roar of the ears.

”Don't let me go!”

Lettie waved her hammer as she raised her voice. Large and small debris mixed together, and countless false ledges fell. Cutting them off one after another, Toka quickly checked the surroundings.

Is this the bottom floor?

"That's supposed to be the case." For now, it looks like there are no enemies. ”

First Important Information Record Sealing Base, Tier 35. Lettie and her team descend to this point in an unconventional manner, holding their weapons with caution.

"If you think about what's there, there's nothing there."

"Yes. I thought it was going to start with the boss fight"

Lettie and the others checked for safety for the time being and raised their hands. The chiffons descended from the spider's thread as it signaled.

This place on the thirty-fifth and bottom floor was surprisingly narrow, as opposed to the vast archival area before it. Countless cables crawl through the circular chamber, and a giant assembly of machines sits in the middle.

Is that Koshua-Egdelwon?

The lactogram points to the machine housing and says:

Many predict that the thirty-fifth hierarchy will be awaited by DWARF's leader and founder, Koshua-Egdelwon. But there is no one in this room to do that.

There is no atmosphere in which the machine in the center suddenly deforms and comes under attack.

It was a perfectly quiet place.

"There's no Ledge, so what's the matter?"

Ledge and I were supposed to meet at the bottom. But I can't see him either. Amy leaned her neck in a troubled face with her hands on her hips.

"Hmm, I get it."

Letty, who was resupplying supplies from a chest pretending to be a servant, said with a face that looked like she had somehow gotten the Book. Her ears twitched and she held up her hammer.

"[Space-Time Ripple Destruction Technique] - [Great Break]!"

The space around her warps and disrupts the flow of energy. Letty shook down her hammer and slammed it on the floor.

A great swing swept around, and the lactos raised their voices of condemnation. The floor was deeply sunk, and the black soil was revealed.

Huh?

But Letty looked puzzled.

"I thought there was a hidden thirty-sixth hierarchy......"

"I thought so, too, but come on."

Say a word before you act, and the lacto sharpens your lips. Lettie drooped her ears.

If the ground is underneath, is that the main one after all?

Toka sharpens her eyes and cuts the koi mouth. At the end of her gaze was a group of white machines sitting in the middle of the room.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

Amy rushes to stop Toka from destroying the machine as she should.

"What if it's like an important core?" Worst of all, we're going to lose all of our base capabilities. "

Hmm, that's true, too.

As Amy pointed out, Toka nodded with a face that looked like the scales had fallen from her eyes. Amy looked at her and Letty, exhaling deeply.

That's right. Destroying that core will erase all Library-1 records. I'm relieved that some of you are intelligent. "

"Ah!?"

Suddenly, a voice resounded in the room. Upon hearing that, Letty and the others instantly set up their weapons and looked for the source. Did you sense the movement of the six of them? Their voices giggled.

It's no use searching. I'm not there. "

“Who are you?”

Letty asks towards the ceiling. The voice melted as it echoed slightly.

My name is Koshua Egdelwon and I'm the one you're looking for.

Well then, I'd love for you to come out.

That's an impossible consultation. I'm not strong enough to go out with the saw without knowing who you are. "

Amy was relieved in her heart as she repeated the conversation with the mysterious "Kosher-Egdelwon". At least it turned out to be a conversational presence.

"We are the first phase of the Planetary Izanami Reconnaissance Reconnaissance Team." If you were a zero-period pioneer, you'd know that. "

Amy passes on her body.

After that, there was a long silence.

……

Amy suddenly called out "Kosher-Egdelwon" when she pinched her eyebrows, wondering if she had stepped on a mine.

"Huh? Huh? Huh, that's not true..." Explorer?

”... it's kind of unexpected.”

Lettie and the others looked at each other in apparent confusion. "Koshua = Egdelwon" had a lot of wolves, and it seemed to be a lot of confusion.

That's stupid. Then why didn't you stop at our distress call?

A distress call?

That's right! I've been sending it over and over, but it's all ignored...

"I don't care if you say that. Isn't it out of bounds in the first place?"

Eh?

Huh?

In response to Letty's words, Koshua-Egdelwon exclaimed with fervor. When she heard the reaction, something troubling happened in Amy's mind.

"Don't you know that your base is cutting off all communications from inside and outside?"

I don't know! I didn't design it that way!

"But Neseca-san and the others..."

Who is Neseca!?

Lettie noticed a mixed cry and a scream. She spoke again to make sure.

"Koshua-Egdelwon built this base and entrusted the maintenance to DWARF to fall asleep."

I don't know. Although the Deep Important Information Recording Organization (DWARF) was established by me, we were all exposed to surgical contamination at the stage of completing the second important information record sealing base and moving to the indefinite sealing period together with the first, so we were annihilated. "

"Huh? Well, then, all the dwarves are here now..."

That's why I don't know, that's why! I've been running two bases on my own for 3,000 years!

Lettie's confusion spread through the astonished confusion. Neseca and the Dwarves do not recognize the existence of Koshua-Egdelwon, whom they worship as their leader. On the contrary, she said that she had been sleeping at the bottom of the base for even longer than the 1,400 years in which the dwarves had been active.

"What the hell is going on?"

Chiffon bows his ears in confusion.

At that time, Koshua-Egdelwon's screams resounded again.

[Giggling!? What the hell! Hey, hey, don't come here! Help, fughhhhh!? ”

Egdelwon-san!?

"What happened!?"

Letty and the others are anxious about the sudden turn of events.

We're being attacked by mysterious native creatures! hiiiiiiiiiii! '

The sound of objects scattering can be heard behind Koshua = Egdelwon's voice. Looks like he's scratching things and running away.

But if we don't know where Koshua-Egdelwon is, there's nothing we can do about Letty and the others.

"Where is Ms. Egdelwon!?" If I can help you, I'll go now! "

Higiiiiiiiiiii!

Koshua-Egdelwon's scream suddenly turned into a puzzling voice. Lettie listened attentively as she realized the situation had changed.

This incarnation... is also saying that it belongs to the same group of protozoa as you guys.

“How's it going?

[A furry pair of legs...... Is this a parasitic "leaf coat with a needle that breaks the flesh"? Anyway, the strange shape of the body, no, wait. ― ― Is this a mechanical doll?

Listening to the voice of Koshua-Egdelwon, who described the situation one by one while confused, Letty's thoughts converged. They open their mouths in a tired manner.

Isn't that native creature, perhaps called Ledge?

What!? Are you sure I'm a pioneer too?

Lettie and the others were relieved by the stunned voice of Koshua-Egdelwon.
