Chapter 54，Part2

Chapter 54.2. Entering The Castle

Un, it’s a common setup in novels. I know, I know. After all, this is the novel’s world. There is, you know, this kind of template facility. In the audience room of the castle in the sky, the emperor sits pompously on the throne.

When I asked my father if it was a template, gYamiyo laughed strangely. N? Did I say something strange?

“No, it’s so inconvenient to go back and forth there that they hardly use it. they have to use a transfer device, which is a pain in the ass. It’s only get used for important ceremonies and the most important secret meetings. The royal family usually lives in the palace on the ground. The only people in the castle in the sky are usually the janitors.”

“Gan!”

Yes, the reality and the original story are now in sync. It’s terrible. …… It’s inconvenient.

What? So the scene in the original story where the emperor sits on the crystal throne in the castle’s audience chamber in the sky with his elbow on the armrest and receives a report in a pompous manner, did they move to the audience chamber? Someone’s complaining in the conference room, “Would you like to stop having meetings in this castle?”

And then, when the scene was over, they complained about how tired they were of wasting their time, and everyone went back to the ground, including the emperor. I wish I didn’t know about the novel’s backstage.

My mom pats me on the head and comforts me when she sees I’m disappointed and sad. Yamiyo and the others also try to cheer me up by talking to me, so I decided to get back on my feet. I know that when it comes to reality, there are a lot of problems.

The original setting was built on a lot of hard work. I didn’t want to know that.

Well, it can’t help it, I sigh, and as I look at the approaching castle, I see the castle gate. The gate has a magic circle floating in midair, spinning and glowing, a fantasy security system.

In front of the gate, there are several soldiers and a mobile weapon with arms attached to tanks with machine guns. It doesn’t have caterpillars but has six rugged metal legs like a spider, and it’s equipped with a missile pod at the rear, so it’s a so-called multi-legged tank. It’s a romantic weapon we can only find in novels and anime. This is the world of fiction.

“Magi-c weapo-n da! I think it’s the Iron Spider Type 17!”

It’s a magic weapon. I leaned forward to get a better look at the multi-legged tank with a gray camouflage pattern for urban use, and I stuck my head to the window. It’s a romantic weapon. It’s cool. I want to ride in it.

In the game, I treated it as a piece of metal to collect materials, but in the real world, its massive armor and the coolness of its tank gun got my attention.

“The Iron Spider Type 17 …… it surely costs 5 billion yen to produce, Mii-sama. 1 hour of combat can cost up to 500 million. I heard it can’t last for 10 minutes in a magic battle. They only made 30 vehicles, and 10 are deployed in the imperial castle.”

“Really? Yamiyo, you know a lot of things.”

Yamiyo smiled and told me what she thought I wanted to know. I’m going to check out those tanks.

[Examine]

[Iron Spider Type 17 Level 35].

Once again, I am convinced that it’s a romantic weapon. I guess it also has conventional weapons. But it can’t beat the magic armor that can run faster than a cheetah and fly.

If we use it every day to exterminate monsters, it could bankrupt the country. So it’s just an ornament that exists as a deterrent just in case. It looks strong, and I guess that alone makes it worthwhile. I’m amazed they produced 30 vehicles.

There are a lot of tiers in the top-up dungeon that came up to me. …… Well, I wonder how the top-up dungeons are handled in this world? I’ll check next time.

I can only go to the top-up dungeons from [My Room]. I had to master several level limits and jobs to unlock them. I forgot the conditions because I already met the requirements when I downloaded the game.

I arrived at the gate disappointed that it was a romantic weapon. A warrior is checking visitors with a tablet in his hand. There are different checkpoints for commoners and nobles, and the one for nobles is empty. The one for commoners is jammed with a large number of people.

I felt like a special ticket holder entering the amusement park ahead of the others.

“I wonder if they have a lot of delicious food, dad?”

“I’ve never eaten anything like this before, even when I was your age. There are some very delicious ones~”

“You can only come here once in a lifetime, right?”

“I’ll wave to the Emperor when I see him!”

When I opened the window and listened to what was going on outside, I saw many people smiling and chatting happily. Festivals make everyone’s hearts happy, don’t they? I hear there is a lot of gorgeous and free food in the gardens for the commoners. The emperor is very good at politics around here. He understands how to get popular.

“I’ll wave when I see The Emperor too!”

Seeing everyone getting along so well, Miu wants to get along with her family, too, so she dives for her dad and declares. I’ll do my best and wave my hand. Can I see a glimpse of the emperor?

“You’re a noble, so you can probably see them up close, Miu-chan.”

“Oh, I’m looking forward to it!”

What kind of person is the real emperor? I’m looking forward to it. Unfortunately, the guard could only get so far, so we had to part ways, but as Miu got out of the limousine, her heart was excited as she entered the castle with everyone else.

Somewhere, I heard the cries of crows.
