Commence Descent
There is such a thing as a great hole.
Simply put, it's a huge drainage ditch.
There was one in the Empire's facility that was 20 meters in diameter, and it was impressive.
But what's in front of us now is a hole of an incomprehensible scale.
"Hey, Yukikaze, how many kilometers is this in diameter?"
"15 kilometers."
"Is the water level okay? In a global sense."
"It's okay because the remains of Tuega have blocked that area. There are still no waves in this area."
The remains of the collapsed Tuega named Stump
Spreading out in front of me is a hole drilled in the center.
When I am at a loss for words, I receive a report from the communication operator.
"Yukikaze-sama, we have received a message from Ginkei XXIV."
"From Niyo? Connect it."
Then, what I heard was a nostalgic electronic voice.
-Everyone, it's been a while-
"I’m sorry for putting a lot of burden on you, Niyo."
-No problem, Knight Shiro, we will start taking action right away-
"Okay, what should I do?"
-This huge hole was named the Great Hole. We are constructing take-off and landing facilities on this western inner wall, 280 meters below where you are now.
"Should we land there?"
-Yes. Yukikaze-sama, are the renovations being carried out as reported?-
"No problem."
-I got it. We look forward to seeing you-
Communication with Niyo is cut off.
"Yukikaze, by remodeling, do you mean the fixtures inside the interior?"
"There are those, but the main thing is the hook on the airship’s exterior."
"Hook?"
"Yes, there are a total of 30 of them, each one about the size of a human torso, top, bottom, front, back, left and right."
"You gonna hang something?"
"Maybe we'll get hung."
I don't know what you're talking about.
While doing so, the airship landed at the designated location.
Outside, workers are hurriedly attaching wires to the hooks.
Each wire is as thick as a human being.
"Installation complete! Installation complete!"
"All hands, there's nothing wrong with the wires!"
"Reports from each team, no abnormalities!"
"All right, stretch the arm!"
After those words
The landing site we're on is moving away from the inner wall.
Slowly towards the center of the big hole
And then I realized
Some wires are not suspended from above.
It was growing out of a hole so deep that I couldn't see anything.
"Hey, Yukikaze..."
"This is an elevator."
Our airship is actually an elevator box pulled by wires from above and below.
-All passengers on board the airship, please sit in your seats and fasten your seatbelts-
Niyo's communication comes back in.
"Hey, Niyo, we're going to take our time, right?"
-As stated in the report, space is distorted in this hole. As a result, the depth is 15,000 km...-
"Can you slow down the speed?"
-I respect that opinion and will slow down to 700 km/h.-
I wouldn't call that slowing down.
-Enjoy the 20-hour journey-
With those words, the airship began to descend at once.
