Chapter 736 The Tower
After leaving through the gates of Orario to finish with all the formalities, the group arrived at their designated spot a few kilometers away from the city by riding their Magic Humvee. Although there were some protests, mainly from the noisy Magical Girl and apathetic Humanoid Dragon God, it was Kisuke who drove it.
As they had expected, some people tried following them, including some members of the Freya Familia since among their friends, it was only Freya that Hestia and Artemis couldn't reach when they were saying their goodbyes.
Of course, Kisuke completely lost them with the Humvee's constant speed and a similar Illusion Magic akin to what he used on Line.
With the Humvee back in Kisuke's inventory, he took out a red medallion and placed it on the ground. With the medallion as its core, a large Magic Circle appeared below everyone.
"What's the medallion for?" Serafall curiously asked.
"It's the key to our destination."
"Hmmm?" Serafall looked at Kisuke with confusion, "Couldn't you just set the barrier to restrict unregistered Mana signatures?"
"Normally, that would've been enough, and that's actually the case if we were to register all of you to use Teleportation Magic in that area. However, it's a special case for me. Normally, you need to register the Mana signature as accurately as possible, but thanks to the nature of my own power, there are always minute changes in my Mana signature, so the site wouldn't be able to recognize me after a short while."
"But if I were to reduce the accuracy of the reading even a little bit, then it'll be prone to breaches since it'll be easy to use a copy of my Mana, even if it's a bit inaccurate. Until I can think of a better idea, I will settle with this for now."
Of course, Kisuke also tried using his own soul's signature, but after the transformation he went through, it became akin to Yoruichi's Reiatsu when she transformed and lost control of herself.
The light of the Magic Circle soon engulfed everyone and the next moment, they were standing on the floor made out of Orichalcum. On top of them are familiar crystals that give light to the safe points of the Dungeon, however, they seemed to be extremely close.
In a bit, they finally noticed they were on top of a structure tall enough that it almost touched the Dungeon's ceiling.
"Where are we?" Sona asked as she walked towards the edge of the structure they were on. The others did the same and what came to them was the beautiful view of the enclosed nature.
Kisuke walked up behind them while answering, "It's the 48th floor of the Dungeon within the Dizara Region. A safety zone."
However, while everyone was busy admiring the rare view, Serafall noticed something and flew away before looking back. After looking up and down, she started laughing out loud, "Fuhahaha! As expected of Ki-tan~! You just don't care whether you destroy the scenery, do you?"
Hearing that, Ophis's already serious expression became even deeper and she instantly teleported beside Serafall to measure up the building she's standing on a second ago.
Nodding to herself, Ophis pointed at the area opposite of the building and declared, "That spot shall be mine."
Kisuke was dumbfounded at Ophis' sudden declaration, but he soon started laughing and gave her a thumbs up, "I'll reserve that spot for you. For the materials, just gather them from the man-made Dungeon. If you need more, just tell me."
Serafall finally recalled Ophis' incomplete project back on Mars and understood that she wanted to make the second one here.
While no one else knew about the new 'monstrosity' that was about to be born, Yoruichi and Kuroka had arrived from the only entrance on the rooftop, "Looks like all of you're doing good." Yoruichi greeted them while Kuroka jumped towards Koneko and wrapped her arms around her, "Shirone~! Did you miss me~?"
Without any hesitation, Koneko answered in the most deadpan expression possible, "No."
But Kuroka wasn't the one to be disheartened as she continued poking Koneko's cheeks and recharging her 'Imouto-Energy', "Ara ara~ You don't have to be shy, you know~."
Ignoring the two of them, Yoruichi addressed everyone else, "Let's go inside first before everything else." She then faced Ophis and Serafall who were still floating in the distance, "Come inside. It's going to be noisy if people from below notice you two are there."
While the others were curious about what Serafall and Ophis saw from their perspective, however, they chose to follow Yoruichi first since they could always see what they were stepping on later. Once they entered, they were welcomed by a set of stairs and a door that looked strangely durable.
Yoruichi then took out a black card and put it on what seems to be a scanner beside the door. A second later, light bled from the top of the door indicating a number that quickly went up, "An elevator?" questioned Irina, but it's very obvious for what it was so no one confirmed it for her.
However, the moment they entered it, those from Earth, excluding Serafall and Ophis, had a strange feeling when they saw an elevator that looked like it came from a proof of concept project out of some sci-fi magazine.
Even then no one said anything about it and just looked at each other. But as soon as they arrived on the 67th floor and the door opened, Aika couldn't finally hold it back, "What the heck!?"
The interior was that of their familiar Hearth Manor. It's as if they went back to it.
On the other hand, Sona could only shake her head with a wry smile while the others could only chuckle. They could now imagine what Serafall and Ophis saw from the outside, "You got free reign and you just went all in. As expected of you."
Claire, Tanis, and Ophis started running around and curiously inspecting everything that caught their attention. But after a short while, they lost their interest as there was nothing new besides the view in the windows which aren't actually windows.
"My head hurts." Koneko muttered after seeing the contrasting design. However, she and the rest could already imagine all sorts of culture in each room of this spaceship-like building.
"I've always wanted to make something like this, so I took the chance." Kisuke replied while leading them to their usual spot, the lounge. But before they reached their destination, Kisuke turned to the three disappointed individuals and said, "I can assure you that it's more interesting on the lower floors. I'll give you a tour later."
However, the trio didn't allow Kisuke to set aside the important stuff for later, "...Let's go." Ophis voiced out as she grabbed the hem of Kisuke's clothes.
And she was followed by the other two, "Let's go, Nii-chan!"
Of course, Kisuke couldn't disappoint their expectant faces any further, "Alright~! Let's go now!"
