We have a level system in place for mankind.

Before starting a full-fledged survey of the food area, representatives of the town that developed the food area gathered to hold a meeting. The location is Yashiro, the first town in the food area.

"Misaki, please tell me what the agenda of this meeting is."

“First, I'm going to name the food area.”

It's weird to live here and yet be in a food area forever.

"Misaki, do you have any ideas?"

"Yes, I think 'Agarta' would be a good idea."

Agarta is a legendary underground city somewhere in Asia. The food area is not a small underground city, but it seems to me that it is just right.

"Huh, Agarta. Isn't that nice?" But is that just the name of the area developed by the Japanese? "

“It's basically an area developed by Japan. You can't decide on an area that has been developed by foreign countries."

I nodded. When asked about other meeting agendas, he said they were supposed to discuss transportation networks and means of communication.

"Then ask the major towns to build a small plane runway for us."

If you can't mass-produce a small plane, it won't be in vain?

"The engineer told me that I could build a small plane."

"Hey, can't you build a bigger plane?"

“We need technicians and factories. I wonder if it's going to be since everyone's life has been on track."

We discussed plans to move the factory in Ye Su City to Yashiro. However, since cutting-edge factories usually collect parts from all over the world to make products, it turned out that such factories were impossible.

Other factories, such as paper mills, iron mills, silk mills, and textile mills, have decided to relocate to food areas. However, there are factories that are not located in Ye Su City, and they will be brought from other towns.

Projects to relocate factories were underway throughout Japan. Just as Yashiro has a red lightning stone power plant, other towns want their own industries.

The chief executives, who run the city in the food area, gathered for a meeting. The name of the first food area on the agenda was decided on "Agarta".

With regard to the transportation network, it was decided to build a railway network. I don't know how much time it will take, but it seems that we have talked about rushing the construction by increasing the number of people who can use [Puppeteer].

That said, in order to increase the number of people who can use the "maneuvering technique", it is necessary to have a transfer dome set with unrestricted crystals. Therefore, it was decided to set the restricted crystal only for the transition dome in the mountains in the inland area.

With the transfer dome in the mountains in the interior, we decided that people from other countries would not notice. The means of communication were to establish a postal system and a telephone system.

The telephone is already connected to the representative telephone between the cities, but the plan is to make it available in the private home.

At the end of the meeting, we decided to investigate Agarta on a small plane. I will also prepare a parachute just in case.

The pilot of the small plane was Kuroi, who was a Seeker under Muto. To my surprise, I had a license for a miniature machine. It is called the "Proficiency Certificate for Private Pilots", and it is said that it can be piloted by private planes.

When Kawai and I got on board, a small plane that had been retrofitted started. Running along the runway, it floats in the air. We proceeded north to see the mountain range first.

Underneath you can see vast meadows, lakes, and forests. The mountains in the distance seemed to have no end in sight.

Kojiro, is Agarta a planet?

I shrugged my shoulders. I don't know.

"I don't know, but it feels different."

“Why? It's strange that such a vast land is not a planet.”

"Yes, but I don't remember seeing the horizon in Agarta."

"It's not because of the climate." There's a lot of fog here. "

You two, I can see something ahead.

Kuroi raised his voice. Look ahead and you'll see a huge tower. It was as huge as the legendary Tower of Babel.

Is there anywhere I can land nearby?

I asked Kuroi.

"There is only a normal grassland." It's impossible.

"Wait a minute, how's it going over there?"

I noticed that some parts of the plain were flattened, and I pointed to it. Kuroi also turned his attention.

"What is it? But I think I can land there."

Kuroi changed the course of the small plane. The small plane entered the landing position carefully and managed to land. When I stepped down from the small machine, I stretched out my back. It seems that the plane descended from a part of the road leading to the tower.

What is this tower?

I looked up at the tower and spoke up. I remembered several paintings that I had painted imagining the Tower of Babel.

Kuroi stayed on the plane, and Kawai and I were going to inspect the tower. It looks like this tower is made of the same materials as a giant ship.

The height of the tower is unknown because there is no comparison, but it looks higher than the Tokyo Tower.

Kojiro, isn't the contents empty again?

I think so.

We arrived in front of the tower and stood in front of a door that was five meters high.

I did it too!

Kawai shouted out loud.

What, that's a dojo breaker?

"Anyway, there's no one here, so let's get inside."

Kawai put his hand on the door and pushed it. The moment the door opened a little, Kawai jumped back.

What's the matter?

"Shit, this is like a 'trial castle'." There was a monster inside like a demon. "

Ghost... let me check it out.

I opened the door and looked inside.

"Oh, there's nothing there, isn't there?"

I opened the door and went inside. Kawai also checked inside before entering.

"That's weird. I was definitely there." I was definitely there. "

We walked into a hotel lobby room and looked around. Something strange appeared beyond the gaze. There was a huge chandelier suspended from the ceiling, and a demon stood on top of it.

A demon jumped from the chandelier. There was a great sword in the demon's hand, and it was swung down towards Kawai. Kawai parryed with his own sword.

Kawai took out the flare sword as he entered to be cautious. The demon who was paralyzed by the attack of the Great Sword interrupted the attack on Kawai and pointed his sword at me.
