『Now then, what to do? It won’t be easy sneaking inside with this kind of security』
[I can see that too. In that case, all I need to do is enter by using that method.]
『Boing boing, boing boing, like a rabbit. No, or is it frog……ribbit ribbit』
[Shut up]
[Whoopsie, got there!]
『There seems to be no security here.』
[Yeah, they are all busy at the bottom.]
[Hey, Greed. Just what is that thing inside of the building that causes wind like this?]
『It’s just a propeller. A rotating mechanism that spin. Nowadays even such simple thing has been lost』
[Alright then, let’s get down there]
『hahahaahahaa, you want to go down through there. Interesting』
『It seems easy, but it’s actually not. The current Fate, even if the propeller paddle hit you, you should be just fine. However, it’ll cause the propeller to be disjointed. That’s all.』
[We are here to sneak inside, aren’t we?]
『You don’t say. Then, let this me witness to how well you plan to do that.』
[As always.]
『That’s right. Whatever it is, this me is just a weapon after all, hahahaa』
[Now!]
[The more we go down the more it becomes a mess. This place..]
『It’s a big facility. So it’s only natural that the ventilation system is also more complex. Let’s try to find the one with wider space. Otherwise it’ll be harder to reach the basement.』
[I know that already.]
Following Greed’s advice, I found a wider ventilation shaft and proceeded through it. And then, my nose caught a certain smell. It’s somewhat…..fishy and discomforting smell.
Like the smell when I hunted goblins.
[…..the smell of death.]
『Fate, we’re arriving there soon.』
Since there are bridges on standby along the running water, I simply cut the wire mesh, and got down.
[My, this is truly a horrid place.]
[What with you, acting unusual?]
『Is that so……anyways, we better go ahead and hurry』
『It’s an automatic door. Someone with authorization needs to touch that plate in order to open the door.』
[Well, seriously…… since I’m not even an authorized personnel, then I won’t be able to open it. We also can’t afford to forcefully break it…..]
Now, what to do then. If I headed back after only this much, I’ll end up being Greed’s laughingstock later on.
『Try putting me on that plate over there.』
[Ee, but why?]
『Hush now, quickly.』
[It open up!?]
『How about that! Something like this, is too simple for this me』
It was supposedly an automatic door that only allows authorized people to open it, yet Greed intervene in some way and actually unlocked it. I suppose Greed-sama really had his uses.
『The system is too simple for this me. This me will open the door, so go』
[Somehow, I feel like you’ve suddenly become dependable]
『Hah!? You are always prone to make such mistake. Correct yourself』
Behind the opened automatic door, I peeked to see if there was anyone else there. It’s strangely very quiet in this place.
[Yosh, let’s go]
『Oi, are you listening?』
[Yeah yeah, I’m listening. Greed is dependable. Always been dependable.]
『Remember that in your head. Remember that!』
[Hey, Greed. All these technology are originated from Gallia, right?]
『That’s right. There is no other reasoning』
[Gallia is, a very weird country. Even with all these technology, I wonder how they got destroyed?]
『They ignored ethics and have gone too far. I suppose it wasn’t only that but……』
[This is…..no way…..there is, no way.]
『Fate, cut it out!』
[It’s a lie…..right, Greed?]
Holding my trembling right hand with my left, I put the box’s lid back.
