opy of the map of the area here.”

“That’s good.
Just knowing the surrounding terrain will make our search much easier.”

It’s kind of hard to keep searching for something you have no idea where it is without a map.
I’m very grateful to have a map.

“Have there been any books or other artifacts found in the excavation?”

“No excavations are going on except for the underground ruins of this base.
Even though there are crossbows that are effective against Gizma, when it comes to excavating ruins, you have to sit and dig for days or even weeks…”

The man with the fluffy white hair looked apologetic as he said this.

“I see.
We don’t have that much room yet, do we? The remaining personnel is mainly craftsmen, researchers, and farmers.”

“Yes, that’s what it is… In the meantime, former adventurer residents are gathering and digging, making maps of the area, mining various materials, and escorting miners, but we haven’t gotten around to excavating the ruins…”

“No, no, you don’t need to apologize so much.
I’ve seen people walking around in the grand cafeteria and in the streets, and they all look peaceful and happy.
I don’t think there’s been any mistake in the policy so far.”

“I see… Thank you for your generous words.”

The sheep beastman wiped away his tears; his eyes were moist.
He’s a tearful man!

“Well… that’s right, I’d like to stay here for two days today and tomorrow, and then go exploring.
Can you arrange a couple of vacant houses for me?”

“Leave it to me.
As for Kosuke-sama’s accommodations, the ones you used when you built this base are still there.
It’s been cleaned properly, so you can use it as it is.”

“In that case, I’ll take advantage of it.
Can you assign Isla, Grande, and the Harpies to my side, and Shumel and Ms.
Zamir to the rented house?”

“No problem.”

“That’s fine, I guess.”

“…..”

Ms.
Zamir and Pirna agreed with me.
Eyja nodded her head, so she was fine with it.

“That’s it then.
Can you arrange for bedding and such?”

“Leave it to me.
It will soon be time for lunch.
What do you want to do, Kosuke-sama?”

“What am I going to do? Since it’s almost time for lunch, how about we have lunch in the grand cafeteria?”

“Yes, I’m interested to see what kind of food they serve.”

“I think it’s important to see what life is like in this base.”

Pirna, out of curiosity, and Ms.
Zamir, as if they were advising royalty or something, agreed to have lunch at the grand cafeteria.

“I’m supposed to be a commoner myself.”

“Hahaha, you’re kidding.”

“You’re not a civilian, are you, Kosuke-dono?”

“I don’t think Danna-sama is a civilian either.”

The three of them, the sheep beastman, Ms.
Zamir, and Pirna, quickly denied it.
Why?

“Oh, and I’ve got some supplies and materials from Erichburg.
I’d like to put them in the warehouse after we finish eating.
Also, I’d like to get an idea of the location of the ruins, so can you gather as much information as you can?”

“Yes, sir.
I’ll contact the person in charge of the supply warehouse.
I will tell him to provide the information about the ruins to the person in charge of the outer area.”

“Please do.
Well then, I guess we’ll go to the grand cafeteria.”

“Yes, sir.
I’ll have the map ready by tomorrow.”

“Thank you again.
See you.”

I left the meeting place after parting ways with the sheep beastman leader.
I looked up at the sky and saw that the sun was almost directly overhead.
It’s nearly noon, isn’t it?

“Pirna, I’m sorry, but can you go tell Isla and the others at the landing site to come to the grand cafeteria?”

“Yes! I’ll be going.”

Pirna smiled and flew away, probably happy that she was asked to do so.
Eyja looked at Pirna as she flew away and me and seemed unsure of what to do.

“Eyja, I think you should come with me to the grand cafeteria.”

“…..”

Eyja nodded her head and smiled happily.
U-umu, but she is really taciturn, isn’t she?

When I returned to the grand cafeteria, I took Eyja, who was in a good mood, and Ms.
Zamir, who had the usual sullen expression (to be honest, I can’t discern the expression of Ms.
Zamir, who is a lizard woman), and found Ygrett and Capri waiting near the entrance.

“Welcome back.
Did you finish your conversation at the meeting place?”

“Yes, we’ve been given a copy of the map.
We will get it tomorrow, so we can compare it with the information they gave us and decide on our destination.
I’ve just asked Pirna to call the other five, so we can write down the information they’ve given us while we’re at it.”

“That’s a good idea.
You might forget it as time goes by.”

I put a log or a wooden box as a chair near the cafeteria entrance, where it wouldn’t interfere with the flow of people, and asked Ygrett and Capri for information on where the ruins might be.

“I see, in the middle of the northeastern wilderness is what looks like some kind of historical site, at the foot of the eastern hill are many unnaturally shaped rocks that look like they are made of stone, and to the west is a large dry pit that looks like the remains of a lake, and around it are the remains of what looks like some kind of historic structure.”

“Where should we look?”

Capri tilted her head.
The others also seemed to be pondering where to start looking.

“It would be nice if we could discover the remains of a library or church.
A map of the time would be helpful.”

“If it’s a library, it can’t be near a lake, can it? Humidity is not good for storing books and scrolls.
If it’s near a lake, there will be fog, and if it gets flooded, it will be a disaster.”

Ms.
Zamir gives us a highly convincing opinion.
Yeah, I guess that might be true.

“I think it’s a good idea.
Let’s look at the northeast and east first, then.
There may be other information gathered, so we’ll make a final decision tomorrow night.”

“I agree.”

Ms.
Zamir nodded in satisfaction.
She is calm and intelligent.
I thought she was more of a musclehead because I had a strong image of her happily jumping into hand-to-hand combat with a spear during the battle for the fort, but she doesn’t seem to be that way.

“I’ve brought everyone here!”

As we were discussing this, Pirna came back with Isla and the others.
Shumel is… yeah, she seems to have recovered a bit, though not as she normally does.

I guess we’ll have to try the lunch in the grand cafeteria then.
