< has been extended by one more day to April 5 (unusual, but not unprecedented).

The reason for this is to see how the investigation of the < or found in the <> of the Kingdom of Celuloa is going.

How to see it is through the images sent by the deus ex machina.

The , under the command of Makina, was assigned to act as a cameraman with the .

Jin will relay the images and send them to .

Filming by the Magic Eye had been done in the past, but this was the first attempt to broadcast an investigation at such a remote location.

I'm looking forward to it.

"No, not at all. I had no idea that Jin-dono and Makina-dono could do so much by cooperating with each other."

"No, no, according to Jin-dono, this is not an advanced technology.

You mean, it is possible for us to do it?

That's what I'm saying.

"That's what I mean. I'll have ...... study it as soon as I get back to my home country.

In fact, we are not doing anything special.

It is a magical tool that was once used during the Golem boat races in Potrock.

It has been modified for long-distance use, and by relaying the images from the Kingdom of Selroa to , it has become possible.

However, since this is the first attempt, the members of the <> have not returned to their home countries, but have stayed behind to experience this revolutionary technology.

And that is also convenient for Jin.

Because he had not yet decided what to do with this <>.

Would he repair it, complete it, and use it as a base, or would he just turn it into a useless piece of material?

Or will it be used for other purposes? .......

We thought we would let the decide on that.

* * * * *

At the same time, <>.

Deus ex machina, wearing protective clothing that takes into account the lack of breathable air, is looking down on <> accompanied by his valet Rey.

It is a well-known fact that Rey is an automata.

Surrounding them are ten to .

> has a and is taking pictures.

"First, check on 9 and 10."

Copy that.

Copy that.

The two bodies run down the dirt slope and attach themselves to the top of the <>.

Even though it is hemispherical, there is no slope near the top to slide down since it has a diameter of 100 meters.

* * * * * *

"Wow!

That's a great move, sir.

That is indeed the golem of Makina-dono.

It seems that Makina-sama has gone out to investigate on her own.

It seems that Squire Rei is accompanying her.

Those watching are glued to the screen. .......

* * * *

"Okay, I think we found the hatch."

There is always an emergency hatch in such a facility that can be accessed from the outside.

When we had them search for it, <> found a hatch a little off the apex of the hemisphere.

Of course, there is a way to open it from the outside,

Turn that handle right there."

A manual opening/closing device was also present.

The handle was not rusted like the exterior, and after about 50 turns of the handle, which was about 10 centimeters in diameter, a gap finally opened that was large enough for a person to pass through.

Turning the handle another 50 times, the hatch was 80% open.

This was enough to pass through, so was placed here as a defender, and Makina, Rei, and <>1 to 9 carefully entered the hatch.

In fact, the old man knows that there is no danger inside since he is checking with his <>, but he cannot act too impractical since he is relaying the information.

The hatch is open.

"Oh, you found the hatch, sir.

"Very clever."

Looks like they're going inside.

"They're being very careful. ......"

< members seem to be keeping a close eye on things.

* * * *

, who was in charge of taking pictures with the , was the second to step into the .

Since the hatch was attached near the top, the passage was naturally a vertical hole.

There is a ladder attached to the wall, so he uses it to go down.

The energy source has been deactivated, so it is pitch black inside.

The first person in is lighting a ball of light.

The length (depth) of the hole is about 20 meters.

Is there a little dust?

There was a thin layer of dust on the floor where we descended.

Everyone descends to the floor, trying not to roll up the dust as much as possible.

It is a small hall, about 20 tatami mats in size.

The air inside is stagnant. You are right to wear breathing masks.

In reality, Makina does not need to breathe, but she is supposed to be human, so this disguise is necessary.

"There are ......2 two entrances and exits?"

There are doors on opposite walls of a square room.

Both have the same shape and size, but there are no identifying marks of any kind.

It would be a bad idea to split them up. has a clear path out here. All of us who remain will check them one by one.

Declaring this, Makina heads for the door on the right.

Of course, she does this knowing that there is no danger.

Makina is a very good woman.

Makina-sama, you are indeed very careful.

I wonder what lies ahead. ......

We'll have to keep an eye on it.

* * * *

The door on the right leads to a passageway.

In fact, this is the route to the outer perimeter of the < (the door on the left leads to the passage to the center of the base).

The group of Makina and the others were , with <>, then , Squire Rei, and Makina. The following <> to <> followed.

Soon you come to a crossroads. In front of you is an outer wall.

The corridors stretching to the left and right are a sort of ring road that goes around the outer wall of the <>.

"Well, let's go right around here.

< at the corner, Makina's group follows the passage to the right.
