Chapter 11 I Stepped Into The Underground City

The fight with the Orichalcum Golem was what I would describe as a fierce battle, but fortunately, neither Iris nor I were injured. I guess we dont need to use potions for this.

By the way, I have a question.

Iris raised her voice as if she had suddenly thought of sothing.

Kou, are you by any chance a [Transmigrator]?

Is that a well-known skill?

When I asked her back, Iris shook her head.

Its not generally known, and I dont know much about it either. The dragon-folk has a lore that talks about [Transmigrator]. They are uncommon beings who co from far away and possess a trendous number of skills.

I see.

I nodded.

Im indeed a [Transmigrator]. Just dont spread it around too much, okay?

Of course. Its considered illegal for adventurers to reveal other peoples skills without permission. If you dont mind asking, what kind of place is Kous hotown? Ive heard its deep in the mountains, but its probably not on this continent, is it?

Well, yeah.

What would happen if I told her the truth about coming from another world? Would she even believe ?

If it were treated as a joke, Id rather not be thought of as a crazy person.

Because I was thinking about these things, I could only nod vaguely.

Its a place so far away that Iris cant even imagine it. Thats how it should be.

Yeah, I see.

She nodded as if she was convinced of sothing. After that, she bowed her head with an apologetic expression.

Im sorry, thats not sothing you want to talk about, right?

Oh, no, its nothing that serious. Its just that there are so many things about where Im from that its hard to explain

Its okay, take it easy. Ive had a lot of problems in my hotown, too, so we both have that going for us.

By the way Iris continues.

Now that weve defeated the Orichalcum Golem, why dont we go into the underground city?

Thats a good idea. Lets go there.

We returned to the bottom of the cliff and stood in front of the tal door. Then, a chanical voice ca from the top of the door.

Magic pattern authentication complete. Welco back, Master.

Imdiately after that, the door opened automatically with a buzzing sound.

Im familiar with facial recognition and fingerprint recognition, but this is the first ti Ive ever been authenticated with magical power.

This kind of thing is very other-worldly, isnt it?

I felt a bit amused and thought about the technological level of ancient civilizations. I heard that their magic technology was very developed, but what exactly was the level of technology?

Was it on the sa level as modern Japan? Or were they dipping their toes into the near future or science fiction?

The underground city would probably have so traces left behind, and there may be so amazing items lying around.

Im kind of looking forward to it.

Beyond the door was a downhill tunnel. It was reasonably wide, so Iris and I could walk side by side.

On the ceiling, there was a crystal ball embedded, which was emitting dim light.

Iris, could that crystal ball be a magic tool?

I think so. Its probably the original magic lamp. Ive never seen one before either.

Original?

I parroted the question back to Iris, and she imdiately explained it to .

It seems that magic tools are made based on the heritage of the ancient civilization. The magic lamp is one of them, and it is one of the most common magic tools in circulation today.

It is said that it is impossible to create a new magic tool with todays technology. Well, here is soone who has made the impossible possible though.

Iris said as she looked at the Black Spider gauntlet on my hands.

If you want to make a living as a craftsman but want to be an adventurer freely, its best not to spread the word about your skills too much. If word gets out that you can make magic tools, youll probably get into a lot of trouble.

Id rather not do that.

If thats the case, then its better to keep the item creation skill a secret as well.

Sorry, you have to keep so many secrets for .

I dont mind. Its nice to share information privately; its kind of like being in a close relationship.

Iris smiled mischievously.

By the way, the entrance called you Master earlier, didnt it? What does that an?

I was given the Mastership when we defeated the Orichalcum Golem earlier. Well, I guess it doesnt matter if other people know about this.

I think I might rather make it public and claim ownership. You could eat for the rest of your life just trading in your discoveries. You could even turn it into a tourist attraction.

In that case, Iris and I will split the profits.

Oh, why?

We both fought the Orichalcum Golem, so we should share the profits.

But you are the master of the ruins, arent you? Well, well figure out the shares later then.

We went through the tunnel while exchanging small talk. The whole passage curved gently to the right and was long. After about fifteen minutes of walking, we finally saw the exit in the distance.

Is this the underground city beyond?

I think thats probably it.

Both Iris and I naturally started to walk faster. As we exited the tunnel, we were greeted by a surprising sight that we doubted our eyes.

The sun was shining brightly; the breeze was refreshing. A vast grassland stretched on forever and ever. A little farther away, a stream was flowing, glittering in the sunlight.

Kou, were supposed to be in an underground city, arent we?

Iris muttered in wonder.

I can understand that feeling.

The scenery around us was completely unlike anything underground, and I was beginning to wonder if we had been warped to another location above ground. However, if I look at the sky, I can see the stone ceiling peeking out from behind the cloud-like white blur.

I guess we are underground.

Where is the city?

As I looked around, I heard the sound of grass swaying, rustling, and rustling.

Its getting closer and closer.

Is it a monster?

I took out my Hikino wooden sword and gave Iris a look. We didnt exchange a word, but there was sothing we could both understand.

Iris nodded and stood right next to with her spear at the ready. A tense atmosphere prevailed in the area.

And then

W-whoaaaaa! No, no, no! Im not a bad monster! In fact, Im not even a monster!

A mysterious translucent, chubby creature popped out from behind the grass with a cute, bell-like voice. It was round in shape and reached about the height of my knees less than 50 centiters.

If I were to apply my fantasy knowledge, it would resemble the so-called Sli.

I did an appraisal, and the results were as follows.

Helper Sli: A magical creature created by an ancient civilization. It is responsible for the managent and operation of the No. 0 underground city. It has a high level of intelligence and lives to take care of others. Kou Kousaka is registered as its master.

In other words, is the Sli so kind of staff mber of this underground city?

At least it doesnt seem to be an enemy.

When I put away my weapon, Iris followed suit and put her spear in her pouch.

The Sli trembled for a while, but when it realized that we were not hostile, it breathed a sigh of relief.

Phew, I was so surprised. Nice to et you, Master-san! Were Helper Slis!

We? Could it be that the one in front of is not the only one?

Just as I thought that, dozens of Slis began to gather from across the grass.

We were made for you, Master-san!

Weve been waiting for you for four thousand years!

Do you need any help?

I can clean, wash and cook!

Im good at construction!

Im good at plowing fields, raising cows and pigs, and digging mines.

If you need anything in particular, just let know.

If you ever have any problems, you can always ask !

Nice to et you!

The Slis stretched their bodies a bit vertically and bowed their heads (?).

I wonder if they were bowing to . Its kind of a surreal scene.

As I smiled, Iris was standing next to with her eyes glittering. She walked over to the Slis, extended her finger, and poked them on the cheek.

W-whoaa! That tickles! Onee-san!

Fufu.

Iris looked sowhat satisfied.

However, this was not enough to get the conversation going, so I decided to stop it for a mont.

What are you doing, Iris?

Huh?

Iris looked as if she had co back to herself, and then she quickly moved away from the Sli. Her face was as red as an apple.

I-Im sorry. Uh

Could it be that you like cute things, Iris?

I wont deny it.

Iris muttered sulkily and averted her eyes with a pout.

She might be embarrassed. Its kind of cute.

When I was slightly relaxed, a Sli jumped up and down at my feet and called out to .

Master-san! Master-san! Do you mind if I explain about this underground city?

Of course. Please do.

Yes! Leave it to !

The Sli stretched out his chest (?) a little proudly and began to speak cheerfully.

This place was prepared as a shelter when there was trouble on the surface. Right now, there are too many grasslands for people to live here, but its okay! We will be able to build a city from now on! Master-san, you have [Full Assist] in your skills, right? Isnt it about ti to finish the preparations?

Preparation? What exactly is that?

When I thought that, an inorganic voice echoed in my brain.

The link with the underground city main system has been established by [Full Assist].

Status check complete.

Kou Kousaka is not a hero, demon king, or sage and possesses [Creation]. The effect of [Creation] will be extended as it ets the hidden conditions.

In the next mont, so information flows into my mind.

I see. Two features have been added to [Creation], albeit with the condition that they are only available while staying in the underground city.

To sum them up simply, it was sothing that would support city building.

The first new feature of [Creation]:

It now automatically consus my surplus magic power and creates items called [Building Materials].

Currently, I have 10,100 MP.

Compared to the average magician, I have the magic power of one hundred and one magician.

Thats a hell of a lot of MP.

The recovery rate is 1% per second or about 101 MP per second.

When my MP is full, this recovered 101 is wasted magic power, but it seems it can be converted into building materials. Currently, the building materials are increasing at a rate of five per second.

By the way, here is the result of the [Appraisal] of the building materials.

Building materials: A set of materials that were used in the construction of ancient civilizations. You cant take them out of the [Item Box], but you can use them as materials for [Creation] only when you are in the underground city.

In fact, I had several recipes floating around in my mind. It seems that by consuming building materials, I can create a variety of buildings that existed in ancient civilizations.

For example, one of the recipes is Building materials x 10 Housing (small) x 1.

Up until now, [Creation] was only about weapons and armor, so it seed as if the scale had suddenly increased. Putting that aside, lets try activating the [Creation].

Normally, the Housing (Small) would be added to the [Item Box], but this ti it was a little different.

A blue-white ball of light appears around my right hand and begins to drift around . It looked as if it was waiting for instructions.

Anyway, lets build it over there.

When I pointed to a spot so distance away, the light ball began to move at a walking speed, and when it arrived there, it released a large flash of light. After the light disappeared, a two-story house was built there.
