Heavenly Castle-Chapter 41 - Great impact

Translator: Pink Tea Editor: Ryunakama

To show them around the fortress I decided to lead them down to the second floor of the tower.

When we got to the elevator, Yanual and others still were pretty impressed despite this being the third time.

「I can’t even fathom how it moves.」

「They are probably pulling it together.」

「What an overwhelming strength. I see, so, golems are pulling it?」

「A lot of golem-sans.」

As Yanual and Yuri were having such an exchange, Ditzen folded his arms and snarled.

「I hate to think that I have the same thought as those two, but I certainly can’t understand it. Taiki-sama, how is this room moving?」

Although the trio was able to realize that the elevator moves vertically they were unable to understand the mechanism behind it.

Well, I don’t understand it as well.

Maybe there was a winch above my personal room that was above the operation room, and it was pulled with a wire.

Since there was a real possibility that it was raised and lowered by a robot, I vaguely laugh off Ditzen’s question.

When we got to the second floor there was a corridor with doors lined up along it, calm indirect lighting and a beautifully spread carpet.

Seeing such a scene, Yanual profoundly nods.

「Even those lights alone are curious. How did you think of setting a wall in front of the lamp?」

「But I feel like the light is gentler this way. Though I personally think that the light could be a bit brighter.」

「Hm. Indeed, from looking at the other rooms, there should be technology to make it as bright as a day, so why is it designed so dim?」

With a wry smile, I answer to the two people looking my way.

「If everywhere was as bright as a day one won’t be able to calm down. In particular, this floor is filled with guest rooms, so going through a slightly dark corridor might calm one a little before going to bed.」

As I told them, that in short, it was to create the atmosphere, they seemed to be unexpectedly convinced by that and began to walk through the corridor while nodding repeatedly.

「I see. Indeed, it feels relaxing. However, making it dark on purpose……That is an extravagance that we couldn’t even imagine.」

「Indeed. Were it us, we would have arranged a large chandelier and by making it dazzlingly bright gave it additional splendor.」

When the two were talking in good spirits, Ditzen was groveling through the corridor behind them.

「The lights are not from oils laps.……Since there is no flickering, could it be some kind of sorcery…? No use, I have no idea.」

As Ditzen crawls on the floor mumbling, Yanual looks at him as if he is a pile of trash.

「…Taiki-dono, please pay no heed to that bug-like character and proceed with your guidance.」

「Oh my, calling Ditzen-sama bug-like… Oh, you are right. He is just like a bug. Ditzen-sama?」

「Hahaha……Then, let me show you to this room first. Because if you are going to stay at the castle, we will have you occupy this room.」 f𝒓𝗲𝗲𝒘𝑒𝚋ｎoѵ𝒆𝗹.co𝗺

Giving a wry smile to the two that are so harsh on Ditzen, I open the door to the nearby room. By the way, the room closest to the elevator belonged to Ayla, so I gave them the two neighboring rooms.

When I confirm it with Ayla who was quietly tagging along, she tilted her head with a smile, so I judged that it was fine.

When I looked back at the two after opening the door, the first one to speak was Yuri.

「Oh, what a lovely room.」

Saying so, she gives me a slight bow and enters inside.

Yuri walks around the rooms and puzzles over every new device. Soon Yanual joined her, but it only increased the number of strange replies.

And so I would explain in order how to use them, and the two would show a reaction similar to that of kids that saw a magic trick.

Meanwhile, Ditzen was mumbling something while stuck on the toilet, shower, and hairdryer.

I decided that I will show them to the cafeteria at dinner time, so next, I will bring them to the third floor.

「P-Please, I would like you to wait for a moment! This toilet! Just a little more with this toilet!」

Ditzen was screaming something while clinging to the toilet, but Yanual and Yuri restrained both of his hands and threw him into the elevator.

I pity him a bit, but since we are going to the third floor it’s fine. That floor has a lot of robots and also medical facilities that even I can’t understand.

The best environment for Ditzen, who appeared like a mecha enthusiast.

Such were my expectations, but reality went like three levels beyond that.

The elevator opens and Ditzen who was still mumbling complaints lets out a voice.

「…..?! Oo, OOhh?! OoOooOO..?!」

Even Yanual and Yuri gulped, presented with that large quantity of robots lined up in there.

Unlike the other floors, this extremely spacious room was tightly crammed with robots. The impact is extraordinary.

「W-what a number…」

「…Yanual-niisama, isn’t this amazing?」

Saying that the two approached the first robot in front of them.

「The number is astonishing, but every single unit has an amazing quality.」

「This unified appearance gives an additional sense of pressure.」

Laughing and nodding to the impressions shared by the two I turned to Ditzen.

Too impressed to even speak?

Thinking so I turned around, but Ditzen appeared to be simply standing still with his eyes wide open.

Ayla, who noticed my gaze, walked in front of Ditzen, waved her hand and tried to call to him, but there was no response.

「…Looks like he lost consciousness.」

Unable to reply to those words from Ayla, I, for now, decided to give a nod.
