King Bossard Valois de Serlois of the Kingdom of Serlois concluded,

"This afternoon, please.

The Prime Minister, Dine Saime de Pars, was surprised and panicked when he heard this.

Hearing this, the Prime Minister, Dayne Saeme de Pars, was surprised and panicked,

He said, "Dine, I can go back and forth with Mr. Jin today. And today, we have relatively little time to spare.

The king said to him, "Well, then, we will go back later," he replied.

"Then we will have an early lunch and go to Fort Lutgula. What about the members?

"Mister Jin, I will go, of course, but do you have any suggestions ...... about who you would like to accompany you, or would you like to bring along with you?

"Yes, ......."

It was decided that the king's right to command would be first, but the question was what to do next.

If there was a Dauphin, there would be no problem, but the current King of Cerroa is a bachelor. He has no mistress, and therefore no prince or princess.

"His Royal Highness the King's Uncle, His Royal Highness the King's Brother, His Royal Highness the King's Sister...... that is, I hope the royal family will be with us."

"Ummm...it would be bad to take all of them ...... with us."

King Beaux-Arts would not allow the entire royal family to leave the royal castle at once unless they had something to do with it, King Beaux-Arts said.

Next to him, the Prime Minister nodded his head.

"If the first in line to the throne is here..." he said. Then, someone who has a say in the royal family.

Then the younger brother and the Prime Minister, I suppose.

I'm sure.

The king's uncle Francis, a former general of the Kingsguard, has renounced his claim to the throne. He claimed that it was not good for a military man to meddle in politics.

Therefore, now that there is no Dauphin, the first in line to the throne is the King's brother, Marcel Valois de Celluloix.

The second place goes to Jeanne Valois de Celuloix, the younger sister of the king, followed by her cousins, Beaux-Arts explained.

(I remember meeting her before when I had my magic wave measured.)

Jin remembered him as a thin, quiet young man. (I remember meeting him when I had measured the magic waves before.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

After lunch at the castle, the carrying the King of Celuloa and his brother headed for Fort Lutgra.

It seems that a squadron of airships from the kingdom tried to follow as escort, but none of them could follow the , which boasts a speed of 400 kilometers per hour (its normal top speed).

"Wow, it's fast!"

Marcel, the king's younger brother, who will turn 21 this year, looked out of the window of the <> and was as excited as a child.

"Maybe it's because you don't get out of the castle that much, but you're so excited. ......"

"I can see why. I can understand how those who have been forced to stay indoors, whether they like it or not, feel ......."

"Well, Arnold must have been in a similar situation."

Yes.

Meanwhile, King Beaux-Arts is talking with the Prime Minister.

"......Therefore, I hope you will soon take a wife,......."

"......The old man is so noisy. ......"

It's a whisper, but I can't help but hear it because I'm in the cabin.

Jin guesses that the Prime Minister was in the position of an educator for Beaux-Arts, since he calls him "Grandpa.

And Arnold seems to be talking with Chelle.

Though Jin does not know it because it seems to be through the built-in manacam.

However, Reiko seems to be able to intercept them at close range.

Since Reiko did not say anything, Jin guessed that it was probably just a trivial talk.

The conversation was probably just an ordinary conversation.

We arrived at Fort Lutgra an hour later as planned.

The landed beside the log house.

This time, Hope stays behind to maintain the Hurricane, while Jin, Reiko, the king, his brother, the prime minister, Arnold, and Chel disembark.

"What is that hut?"

Marcel asked Jin when he saw the log cabin.

"It's a hut where we installed the transfer magic circle that connects Kupu to this place.

"Wow, that's a great idea.

"We'll take it down when all the work is done, though."

"I'm sure we will. ......

Marcel, the king's younger brother, looked as if he was thinking that it would be a waste of time and money.

"It's an installation type, so the hut can be used again."

"What?　Is that so?"

"Yes, I brought the finished product here and installed it.

"Oh, is that so? ......"

Then came King Beaux-Arts.

"Marcel, if you have any questions for the king, you can ask them later."

Yes, brother.

"Jin-dono, let me show you the fort then."

So, I was to show him around Fort Lutgla first.

The top part of the fort was not very well maintained.

The upper part of the ground has not been modified much. We have only repaired the parts that were damaged in the recent riot and reinforced the areas where the strength is a little weak.

"Well, that's good to know.

It's also meant to be a historical site, brother.

That's right.

The Prime Minister, the King, and the King's brother each affirmed this action.

"Now for the main part, the underground base."

"Oh, this is going to be fun.

First, let's go to the newly built bulkhead.

"Normally it is closed. To open it, you need to enter this key and the password on this panel.

"Hmm."

So we have both a physical lock and a logical security.

If is eventually opened to the public as a historical site, this bulkhead will be left open.

Beyond the bulkhead is a short passageway that leads to a small hall and then to a staircase leading to the basement.

"So, can I leave it to Chelle to guide us from here?

asked Jin,

"Oh, that's a good idea.

King Beaux-Arts agreed without a second thought.

The king said, "Well, then, I am afraid that I am not a good person.

"Well then, let me be your guide, Your Majesty, Your Highness, Your Excellency.

"Yes, thank you."

Chelle bowed politely and greeted the three guests.

"This way, please."

Chelle takes the lead in going down the stairs.

The stairs used to be dark and dangerous because of the large steps, but Jin had renovated them and they are now normal, bright, and easy to walk down.

"This base consists of three levels: upper, middle, and lower.

"Hou?"

"The upper level is mostly golem hangars and is the smallest of the three levels."

Why is that?

Yes, Prime Minister. That's because this place was built to serve as a place of refuge during the wars of the time.

I see, is that why there are golems to repel the invading enemy?

"Yes. And although that function has now been removed, it also had the function of collapsing the floor after luring the enemy into this floor.

"Oh, yeah. ...... has been removed now, hasn't it?"

"Yes. Jin-sama removed it.

"That's good to hear. ......

After this, we check the battle golem and the general-purpose golem stored in the upper level and that's it.

The group headed for the middle level.
