Chapter 428: Base Tour 2
In the basement of the Volton Mansion, Sebastian, Jeeves, Maribelle, Mabel and the other veteran maids, as well as the children who came from the orphanages gathered.
?Don’t be afraid. I will show how to do it, so please follow along.?
Maria said that as she operated the Teleport Gate to connect to the Demon Continent base.
Afterwards, when she walked over the carved Teleportation magic circle, the magic circle emitted light and Maria disappeared.
?Now, please take turns and head towards the magic circle. You It’s okay if you don’t do it one by one either.?
When Sophia told the girls who stiffened at the sight of Maria disappearing, Head Maid Maribelle stepped onto the magic circle with a resolved look about her. Then Sebastian and the other veterans followed.
The maid apprentices grouped up and nervously entered the magic circle.
After we went through the Teleport Gate last, Sebastian and the rest were guided from the basement to the first floor by Maria.
Maria had initially intended to tell them how what kind of this world this is like, so she opened the door on the first floor leading to the outside and led everyone there. Then she climbed the ramparts and showed everyone the scenery from there.
?Ah! Iruma-sama! You’re here with everyone!?
Then a voice came from up above.
The young Aligerous man entrusted with the base noticed us and jumped down from the base’s rooftop.
?!? W-wing!??
?Is that a Birdkin??
It was Sebastian and Maribelle’s first time seeing Aligerous Tribe, so I had to introduce them to everyone.
??Sebastian, Maribelle, they are from the Aligerous Tribe whom I’ve asked to protect and control this base.? From here on, I want you to clean up inside the base and act as the intermediary in case the Aligerous Tribe make contact.
??…………??
Sebastian and Maribelle were surprised by the Aligerous Tribe flying around the base, but the apprentice maids were captivated by the sight of the floating base in the middle of a 1Km wide lake.
A forest spread far and wide around the lake, and despite the dense mana, there wasn’t even a speck of miasma that could be sensed. Rather, not only Sebastian and Maribelle, but even the children could feel that it was more of a sacred atmosphere.
The young man who flew down to the rampart asked about the many faces he hasn’t seen before.
?Iruma-sama, why are there so many of you today??
?Ahh, today, we’re showing around the new butlers and maids that we employed. There will be those who come to clean the base from time to time, get along okay??
?So that’s how it is. Should I tell our tribespeople in the island??
?No, we’ll show them around the Sky Island as well after this, so that’s fine..?
After receiving a report that there was no abnormalities around the base and asking if the base needed anything, we all went back in.
?So, have you calmed down? Would you like to see Accuros City??
?Takumi-sama, it would be better to go to Accuros at another time.?
?Yeah, we have to show them around their workplaces..?
?Well, that’s true too.?
From our Demon Continent base to Accuros, it wasn’t that far, so I thought maybe we could go on a field trip, but Sophia and Akane said that would be better for next time.
I suppose cramming too much in a day wouldn’t be good.
From the ramparts of what could be called a fortress base, we showed them inside.
Once inside, Sophia and Maria did the guiding, while Laeva and I exchanged greetings with Aligerous people who take turns being stationed in the Sky Island’s Ruin city. I asked about the results of their monster subjugation training, had a discussion about their equipment maintenance, and gave advice on making potions.
?It’s okay to have equipment one rank higher.?
?Really!! Could you also make us a spear like Berkut’s??
The young men excitedly asked excitedly, but making a something similar to Berkut’s Gunlance Rod (Magic Spearcane) was impossible. There’s the issue of materials, but it was also not a good idea to give them a weapon more powerful than they could handle when they’re still blind to their own shortcomings.
?I can’t give you a weapon like Berkut’s, but I could give you a magic alloy magic spear bestowed with an element at best.?
?That is the case. We will take the cost of the materials.?
As soon as Laeva said that, the young men booed, but Laeva was unbothered.
I reluctantly agreed when Laeva said that I was helping the Aligerous Tribe too much and that we should at least earn that much.
Hunting the monsters around this base, their magic stones were reserved for the use of the Sky Island and the meat and materials were sold to Accuros for money, and a portion of that money was used to buy grain and daily necessities. There was also a reward distributed among the individuals, so it was not difficult to earn money from monster parts.
?I’m telling you now, but the price of a mithril alloy magic spear is a lot more expensive than you think in a store.?
?Indeed. Are you okay with Laeva and Takumi-sama’s pay then??
???YEEEEES!???
Sophia and Maria came back at the perfect time, so we decided to move on to the next place, the Sky Island.
Seen off by the young Aligerous men, we went back down to the room with the Teleport Gate in the basement.
