With such an order, the undiscovered base on the eastern coast of the former Leonard Kingdom was reactivated.

This base is in fairly good condition, and thanks to its own maintenance and management system, it is still functioning at about 80% of its original capacity.

Above all, this base was an .

In other words, the <> was in charge of everything, and the <> was not the <> but the <>.

Perhaps in the past, the <>, the <>, visited this base and merely watched the games.

In this sense, <> was similar.

The most important feature of this base was that it could act even if the <> was not present.

All battles in his absence were recorded and could be viewed later.

Therefore, even though the <> is gone, this base is still looking for someone to fight.

Jin and the had finished their investigation and were relaxing at the Agate base.

Thanks to you, we now have a better idea of what we're dealing with.

"No, no. We too are grateful to be able to touch the remains of our <.

And all thanks to Marikka.

You're welcome. ......

Then, the base's administrative head, <>, reports.

"Yes, what is it?"

<

"What?　What is the purpose of ......?

<

"...... Why now?"

<>

"It seems to be a very strong base, isn't it?"

<

"You mean it's a strong ......?"

<

"......"

Jin and <> left Marikka to deal with <> and decided to first try to understand the situation.

"<>, what was the operating rate of each facility in this base?"

"Ummm.... The part I saw was about 60%.

"That's about the same as what I saw. Even if there are no problems in supporting daily life, there will be problems in battle, won't there?

"Yes, there would be. In fact, the submarines at this base are in no condition to launch.

"Yes, it was."

The submarine, which was probably an origin submarine, was used for mock battles, but Jin judged that it would not be able to perform at half of its original capacity due to poor maintenance.

If the submarine were to go into battle in such a state, it would be defeated easily.

"Come to think of it, what will happen if we lose?"

Now that he understood the situation, Jin decided to ask < about it.

.

"Points?"

<

is also doing something surprisingly mundane, Jin thought.

"So, what's the point of this now?"

"If we lose this time, will we be charged ......?"

"What do you have?　Does it matter what it is?"

"I see."

They said that they would not ask for this base or a submarine.

"What kind of things have you exchanged in the past?"

"haha ......"

It seems that this is one of the reasons why there is nothing of note in this base.

"What if we lose this time?"

>

Yes.

<>

"...... Probably no recipient on the other side, huh?　Can you reject it?"

If it was just reactivated to suit our needs, it was most likely unattended, Jin insisted.

>, so I can't reject it.

"I can't help it. ......"

I'd offer him a sofa or a table, but I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Jin analyzes himself, saying that perhaps he is not satisfied with the unreasonableness of having to offer his own furniture even though it is an exchange in an unrelated area.

<>.

"What happens if we don't?"

Marikka asked.

"E......"

It seems that had a character to keep such a promise.

<

"Wait a minute. Who is judging the winner?

>. The rules we have agreed upon are recorded there.

"I see."

The point is that we have each other's rule book.

It is a black box and the contents cannot be tampered with.

"Hmmm, I don't know what to do ......"

I could try to help them without violating the rules, but I only have about 15 minutes left, so I don't think I'll make it in time.

But I have an idea.

"......Yes, that's it!　...... Reiko, get the rules from <> and send them to the old man. At the fastest rate possible. ......Marikka, give me your instructions."

Yes, father.

"Yes, Master Jin. ......<>, this Lako is an automata. Please transmit the contents of the rulebook to her via high speed data transmission."

<

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

Thus, the contents of the rule book were sent to the old man via Reiko, and since the data transmission was ultra high-speed, the huge amount of data could be sent in about two seconds.

The contents of the were examined in one second by the old man.

He gave advice to Jin through Reiko.
