Extra Chapter 1 – Yanual who was left alone, Part 2

We changed location and we are in a room inside the store. This place is made with high-quality timber of a darkish shade, with nothing made of metal so that it becomes a rather relaxed atmosphere. The carpet is also of a high-quality fur of white demon beast.

I sat down on one of the four chairs made of big beast fur which was located in the center. Lutz sits opposite me.

“So, what is it, about the Heavenly Country?”

Lutz usually prepares tea, but maybe because he is feeling very impatient today, I was told to get into the main topic as soon as I sat down.

“Well, calm down a little. First, let’s talk from that country’s overview.”

When I said that, Lutz stands up with a surprised face.

“A, ah! I am sorry for not serving you tea.”

“No, it’s okay. I’ll have it next time.”

“I, I see. Then, let me promise the best hospitality for the next opportunity.”

After looking at Lutz, who bowed deeply and sat back down obediently, I started talking about the Heavenly Country mixed with a bitter smile.

“Well, although I proudly said overview and so on, I didn’t really get enough information that I can tell. For now, I will tell you the situation that I saw from the outside. First, it’s location.”

“Location……”

Lutz repeats it after me.

“Umu. The location is above the sky. Located inside the big clouds.”

“In, inside the clouds? Do you mean, a ‘cloud’?”

I nodded while feeling good a little at Lutz who’s being surprised.

“Yeah. When we entered inside that clouds, an island was floating in a manner as if it was really lifted up from the sea. Was it about the size of a mid-sized city? We could hardly meet the inhabitants, but there were beautiful gardens, pure white houses and a big castle.”

“A, an island is…… there really is a country above the sky, huh……”

“Yeah, There is. It’s the resources that I am curious about, but it seems like they could obtain timber but metal and stone seemed difficult. I’m sure because I hadn’t seen a quarry or mine. It seemed like there were also no livestock and so on, but maybe it was indoors and I didn’t see.”

When I said that, Lutz face turns into a merchant’s face.

“I see…… Then, they may already be doing some trades with the neighboring countries. So far, I haven’t heard anything similar to your stories. In other words, it is very likely that the flying island is moving. I regret that I didn’t look at the movements of the clouds, but fortunately the Imperial Country of Fleida is a country on the edge of the continent. Perhaps, the place where the Heavenly Country had made a trade would be either the Blau Empire or the Azul Kingdom. And if their resources would run short, the next time they will acquire their resources will be in this Imperial Country…… ”

From the little information, Lutz quickly makes various guesses. After all, he has experienced things much more than I have. And it’s splendid thinking.

I answer while nodding at Lutz’s guess.

“Umu. I was also thinking that. However, both the city and the castle are so complete that I don’t have any complaints. Stone, timber and metal may not even be needed.”

“Complete, is it?”

Maybe because he caught something in my words, Lutz narrowed his eyes and tucked his chin.

“That is, do you mean that something is lacking in the castle or the city where we are living……… and that there is something more in the Heavenly Country?”

To such a question, I furrowed my brow and hummed.

“Hmm… It’s hard to say what is there. There were too many things that I couldn’t understand. But if I were to mention something, it is, the technological strength that we cannot possess in a broad sense and the equipment that was beyond my awareness in a lot of aspects. Even the roads, stairs, structure of buildings and decorations. I’m not emphasising it too much, but they are built delicately.”

When I said my evaluation, Lutz traced his chin with his fingers with a serious face.

“Technology…… I’m very interested in this. Equipment, decorations, construction of roads and stairs may be reproduced somehow, but technology can’t be imitated just by seeing it. If possible, I would like you to tell me its principle and mechanism……”

“Don’t ask me, okay? Because Ditzen, who went together with us, even examined it without sleep, but we came back without getting any clues.”

When I make such a reply, Lutz raises his head with wide eyes.

“Is it Ditzen-sama? I thought he was quite well versed not only in technical formula but also in technical tools, but……”

He said that and I frowned while shaking my head from side to side.

“It’s not such simple distinction. For example, with a size of… ah, maybe just like this room. What means are there to move a compartment as big as this room from the first floor to the second floor and the third floor respectively, in a situation where there are five humans and a single golem in the compartment?”

When I asked that, Lutz sharply narrowed his eyes and looked around the room. He lowered his gaze as if pondering for a while and raised his head.

“…… Usually, it is a pulley that is used in a water well and so on. However, if it is a big compartment and a golem are also the same, a big pulley mechanism and a number of people are necessary in order to lift it up. It also has to be lifted up while confirming the situation of the compartment from the outside, so a facility has to be prepared at the top and bottom of the compartment……”

I snorted and raised my eyebrows at Lutz who guess its mechanism while being troubled.

“Even I can come up with that. However, what I don’t understand is that it didn’t give off a sound. It’s completely soundless. The door also opens and closes by itself without a sound. There was also no sign like giving a signal in order to move. You could just push a square box with your index finger.”

When I said that, Lutz blinked his eyes and froze up.
