"Here it is."
Serufi said as she put her hand on the wall of the middle layer.
Then, a large rectangular crack appears on the wall and light runs through it.
"What did you do?"
"There is an input device embedded in the elf's body that responds to it."
"You knew it well, didn't you?"
Sedona, who was watching the scene, asked Serufi.
"Did you regain your memory?"
"No, I saw it while I was being taken to that building."
There is some confusion in Serufi's words.
It seems like it didn't think things would go smoothly either.
"Is it an elevator?"
"But it's more luxurious than the one we rode on the lower layer. It's well taken care of."
Wince is checking by sliding her index finger on the handrail inside the elevator.
That's right
I thought of something my mother-in-law used to say, [There's dust gathering here!]...
"Shiro-san, aren't you thinking of something rude?"
"No, it's nothing."
Not good
I have to be careful not to show it on my face.
It takes an incomparably longer time to go from the middle layer to the upper layer.
"Where is this going?"
"On the upper layer. It should be 80 kilometers up."
That's amazing
Is that the area where the meteor falls?
"Did you find out what this Tuega is for?"
Serufi shakes her head at my question.
"I see, this sight is amazing..."
The elevator is suddenly enveloped in light.
No, not exactly
Light is shining from far below.
I don't know what material it's made of, but before I knew it, the entire surface of the elevator had changed to a transparent material that made me think it was made of glass.
"Shiro-san, above."
"…This is what it meant by, well, Tuega!"
It still looks far up in the sky
The top of the Tuega spread out to the side, branching off.
I can only see a portion of it from the elevator, but it’s probably large and circular, spreading out in countless numbers
"What do you think, Shiro-san?"
Wince talks to me
The only people who can understand this scene are me and Wince who have knowledge of Earth.
"If we were to refer to a science fiction movie, wouldn’t it be a spaceship terminal?"
"I agree."
The knights and Sedona aren't following our conversation.
While we were enlivening the conversation with Earth's knowledge, the speed of the elevator slowed down.
"Are we arriving soon?"
"Yes, you'll be able to meet Shirufi soon."
"What do you..."
Before I can finish my words, the elevator stops and the door opens.
Waiting there were a large number of soldiers holding guns.
Behind the soldier was Shirufi, who was handcuffed and had a gun muzzle pressed against the side of its head.
"Thank you for your hard work on the long journey, Shiro-san."
Smiling, Serufi leisurely exits the elevator and gets behind the soldiers, facing us.
"…Ah, shit… you are on Prelati’s side, Serufi."
