“Finished…” (Mitsuha)
In front of my eyes, or rather, under my feet, is an island 200 meters in diameter, 500 meters away from the sh.o.r.e .
The whole island is a giant lump of rock, and the shape of the island is a natural on that is [almost circular but slightly distorted], but the top surface is unnaturally flat . And, soaring from the middle of the island is an unnaturally detailed columnar… . Hill?
No no, as expected I can’t treat it like a natural object . There’s no other choice but to call it a [Tower] . And there’s a Luxurious mansion built with its back attached to the tower . And three warehouses built near it .
There are steep cliffs all around the island . The height from the sea surface is about 10 meters… Unless using the stairs or the ramp for wagons from the dock, climbing to the top would be quite challenging .
“…alright, it’s perfect!” (Mitsuha)
Right, if it’s 500 meters offsh.o.r.e, it’s unlikely that it will be attacked by land forces .
It’s unlikely that an armed soldier can swim 500 meters, and the effective range of the musket of the New Continent is around 45 meters at most .
If the inside of the barrel is engraved with rifling, and if it uses conoidal bullet, something like the [Minié rifle] of the mid-century earth, the effective range could reach no less than 300 meters . …with the maximum of 900 meters, but those numbers have no meaning .
They can reach from the sh.o.r.e if they use a cannon, but if the enemy carries the cannon to this place from the land side, it means that this country has already been destroyed, so I can just escape at that time . Either using my transfer or an escape boat that I plan to prepare on the ocean side of the island .
Let’s cut out the rock to create a secret bunker and hide a small cruiser there . The one that can cruise while putting a nonstop battle from here to the neighboring country . …I’m sure it’d be fine to bring that much . I can just say that it’s a one-of-kind artifact of unknown technology .
Archeologist of later generations might suffer from seeing the OOPArt they found at the ruins of the Bunker! Fuhahaha!
No, I guess power ship has been developed in the future if they can afford the technology to excavate archeological sites .

Alright, let’s get a used ship and teach Beatrice how to operate it . To get a license for a small vessel on earth you have to learn various things such as Collision Prevention Regulation (COLREGs), but there’s no need for such a thing in this world . If it’s just to learn how to operate it then it should be easy . And I can just carry it to the earth for maintenance .
