Chapter 429: Base Tour 3
We changed the teleport point to the Gate in the Ruin City at the Sky Island, and had them teleport just like like a while ago.
In the Ruin City of the Sky Island, there are many relatively large houses, and among them, I use a house that is even larger.
Majority of the other houses had been restored to their former states, but our mansion was had been reconstructed in various ways.
We installed a Teleport Gate in the basement, tightened the security in that room, and while we don’t really visit this mansion that often, we made all sorts of changes to make it easier to live in.
Just to be safe, I deployed two Gatekeeper Golems, but there’s basically only us and the Aligerous Tribe in the Sky Island, so I don’t really have to be that cautious
Everyone teleported safely and we showed them outside.
「……T-this is」
「……Master, which city is this place in? For a city like this to exist……」
「Uwaaa!」
「So cooool!」
Sebastian was at a loss for words at the cityscape of the restored ancient ruins, while Maribelle couldn’t believe it even when told that this was the Sky Isand. The apprentice maids were so deeply and genuinely impressed at the sight of the city the likes they have never seen before.
The number of people from the Aligerous tribe who live in the Ruin City were few relative to the size of the city, so it was a desolate city, but added to the atmosphere of the restored ancient ruins.
It was then that Aligerous people came flying at us at high speeds..
「Takumi-samaaaaaa!!」
「Anikiiiiiii!!」
Berkut yelled my name as she flew towards me. Lagging slightly behind Berkut was Valkan-san’s son Vart-kun.
「Ah, it’s Berkut and Bagworm, Master!」
「Let’s try not to call him Bagworm, okay?」
To Kaede, Vart-kun is still treated like a bagworm. Bagworm would be too pitiful with all these new people to meet.
「Long time no see! You brought a lot of Humans, what’s up today?」
「It’s been a while. We’re showing around the new maids and butlers we hired around. Were you going hunting, Berkut?」
「Yes, we’re culling monsters around the city today.」
Berkut proudly hoisted the Gunlance Rod that we gave to her as a present.
「A~ Ni~ Kiii~!」
That was when Vart-kun who was lagging behind landed.
「Aniki! I also got a lot stronger, so give me a spear like Berkut’s!」
Right when I thought it’s been a while since I’ve seen that mug of his, he suddenly demanded for a spear. I looked at Berkut, wondering if he really did do his best, Berkut shook her head.
「I can’t say you’d be as good as Berkut, but are you the best among the youth?」
「Urk, y-yeah. I-I guess you could say I’m p-pretty much the best.」
「Liar! Isn’t Valto the only one weaker than you!?」
「Ugaaaa! Don’t say that!」
Haa, Vart-kun is the same as ever. He hasn’t changed much but I’m still relieved.
As Vart-kun was causing a ruckus, someone must have noticed that we arrived, so Tribe Chief Valkan-san came to greet us.
「My my, it has been ages, Iruma-dono. What is the matter with this huge crowd today?」
「Glad to see you again Valkan-san.」
I also explained to Valkan-san that we were showing around the newly hired maids and butlers around the bases today.
「Is that so. If they will be in the base of the Sky Island or in the Demon Continent, we of the Aligerous Tribe would be happy to help.」
「I appreciate that, but they’ll mainly be in Volton and the Sanctuary, so they’ll only come by once in a while to clean up. 」
「It can’t be helped if that is the case. It would be dangerous if we of the Aligerous Tribe suddenly work in the city where Humans live. Incidentally, has my son been inconveniencing you again?」
「Wha!? What do you mean an inconvenience!?」
Valkan-san coldly glared at Vart-kun who was kicking up a fuss all by himself as he asked.
「Valkan-ojisan, Vart demanded Takumi-sama for a spear like mine.」
「A-, wa-, stupid, don’t tell him!」
Berkut exposed the fact that Vart-kun demanded me for a weapon just a while ago.
「……Iruma-dono, I would like to pay you a visit at another time. This is it for me today.」
「A, aaa it huuuuuuuurts! M-my ear’s gonna teaaar! Let go old maaan!」
Valkan-san grabbed Vart-kun by the ear and dragged him away.
「……he never changes.」
「As dumb as ever, you mean.」
Berkut said “I’ll be your guide!” so enthusiastically, and so I entrusted the tour of the Sky Island’s Ruin City to her.
That said, there weren’t that many people compared to the size of the city, and with majority of the buildings being unused, it didn’t take very long for the tour to finish.
And finally, we returned to the basement where the Teleport Gate was installed so we could show them around the final place, the Sanctuary.
