"The last one is the materials warehouse, but there is nothing to see here either, so ......"

"Why is that?　Can I take a look at it?

Yes, Prime Minister. Yes, Your Excellency.

Chell said and opened the door of the warehouse.

"Oh. ......"

"So that's what this is about. ......"

The warehouse was almost empty.

"It was wartime," he said, "so we didn't have time to fill the warehouse."

"...... I see. Mm-hmm. Okay. I will have an emergency stockpile made in my name."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Now this warehouse will serve its purpose.

Now that the base was even better equipped, Chel thanked the king on his behalf.

"Good. This is also the king's duty."

* * * *

Finally, we are guided to the lower levels.

Doris has gone back under the magic brain, so Chelle will continue to guide us.

First, we go down the stairs to the lower level.

It is explained that there used to be a trap here as well.

"The lower level is a shelter for evacuation, and it was never allowed to be infiltrated by enemies. So a last resort was set up by pouring molten lead into the passage."

Of course, this has now been removed.

"If that trap were to work, would the lower levels be isolated?"

"No, sir. There's a route out through the shifting magic circle.

I see. Then we'll be safe.

And where does it lead to, by the way?

The younger brother asked about the destination.

"Yes, Your Highness. The destination is an underground facility on an island south of . ...... Actually, it has only been set up, but it has not yet been opened because the transfer magic circle is not yet complete.

"Oh, so that's the connection."

"I see."

Marcel, the king's younger brother, was convinced, and Jin, who was listening to him, also understood.

"Well, that underground facility over there was literally the ......, although it was not completed."

The fact that the two facilities were not in the same state of progress must have been a problem, Jin imagined.

The group then reached the lower floor.

Chelle seemed to introduce them by starting with the room closest at hand.

"Here is the pantry too. It is empty now, but if we fill it to the brim, we will have enough food to feed 1,000 people for a month.

"I see."

I see. It is strange that there is no pantry on the same floor as the evacuation site.

"So it's possible to store food for a long time here too. I hope we can figure out how to do that.

The Prime Minister was impressed by the structure of the facility, and the King's brother was interested in the method of long-term preservation.

Next is a room for evacuation,...... but it is far from the image of the kings.

"...... hotel?"

"This is a room for evacuation. Each room is approximately 5 meters square and has a bed for 5 people, a toilet, and a washbasin.

At first, Jin had imagined a spacious room like a gymnasium, but this is different. He imagined a business hotel.

"It is said that this design was intended for long-term evacuation, but in reality, the upper classes of the Kingdom of Dinar were supposed to take refuge here."

"......When it was wartime, the privileged class pushed through with their demands......"

"The result is a painful ...... no, it's a virtual <."

"A war with no winners......, so both sides are losers, is that it? ......It really was a meaningless war."

The king was dismayed at the deeds of men, the prime minister regretted it, and the king's brother was devastated by the misery of the war.

"Well, let's get our heads back on straight.

Jin called out, as if to shake off the somber atmosphere.

"Yes, we must make sure that we do not repeat this foolish act again.

King Beaux-Arts looked up.

"Your Majesty, we are here to help you in any way we can.

Chelle also said and led the way to the next room.

"This is the underground cultivation room for food production.

"Oh..."

"This is ......

"This is ...... amazing!"

The three members of the Kingdom of Selroa are wide-eyed in amazement.

Jin was also amazed when he first saw it.

This was a room for hydroponic cultivation in the basement.

It was a facility to promote the cultivation of vegetables by using the magic of <, just like artificial sun lamps in modern Japan.

However, before it was actually put into operation, an "ether stampede" occurred, and it was left unfinished.

What we have in this room now are a number of shelves and an artificial solar lamp for < application. The artificial sun lamps are tinted to resemble sunlight.

There was some talk about the use of LEDs of a certain color for growing plants, but Jin did not remember it, and since <> seems to be sufficient, the light has been adjusted to a natural color.

"It was designed so that we could grow bean sprouts in the dark areas and nutrient-rich vegetables such as tomeitul (tomatoes) in the light areas."

"I see."

< is over, there is no need to grow crops underground, so this place will be left as a historical site.

And next.

"It's an air-conditioning system with an independent power source."

Even if the middle level was no longer functional, everything possible was done to protect those who took shelter in the lower level.

"Finally, there is a storage room for emergency materials. Medicine, water, emergency rations, some metal materials, and magi crystals were to be stored here.

After 700 years, the medicines, water, and emergency rations could not possibly maintain their quality and were to be disposed of.

The metallic materials and magi crystals were not stored in the first place. It is assumed that this was probably due to a lack of resources.

* * * * * * * *

With this, I would like to conclude the tour of this .

"Well, thank you."

King Beaux-Arts thanked Chell for his efforts.

"From now on, I would like to treat this place as a historical site that tells the story of the <>."

"I think that would be good, Your Majesty."

"Brother, will it not be open to the public?"

No. Scholars and researchers will have to be allowed to enter.

I agree, Your Majesty.

Will you be my guides then, Herr Chell and Herr Arnold?

Yes, Your Majesty. Yes, Your Majesty.

And so it came to be.
