Year 7444, Month 6, Day 20

Miduchi, No, as a part of the senses of the Japanese person Shiina Junko who's a part of Miduchi she felt it was considerably plain for the royal palace of a single country but from Midu~ritto's sense it was a considerably extravagant royal palace that she was stepping foot inside. It seems the maids are properly taking care of their service work and the cleaning was done so thoroughly there's not a single piece of dirt or dust. Just from a glance it seems like about 2 meters from the ground was made from rock that was cut out but from there and above was made of wood and mortar almost as if interest was lost in it. The floor is made of sturdy wood and a portion of it was made of a stone material like granite that also has been carefully polished. The ceiling is considerably high and it was made extremely spacious and there should have been a second floor as well. Come to think of it the roof was tile as well. Even though something like rain will never fall.

Soon after entering there was something like a rail and a entryway step up on to the wooden floor. It resembles the lobby of a mid-scale hot spring ryokan of somewhere. There's lightning magic tools in four places on the ceiling of the lobby that were lit up. They aren't white like fluorescent lights but closer to an opal like sunlight that sort of tinted high class luxury item. There's a 10 cm difference in level between the polished granite floor and the wooden floor on the higher step up, going off of Shiina Junko's feeling she wants to take off her shoes. She somehow manages to hold back the uncomfortable feeling of standing on the polished and sparkling wooden floor with her shoes and opens the double doors on the right side of the lobby that she heard from elder Webundo. If it's this sort of structure she would have preferred they were sliding doors.

Ahead of that was a hallway that was roughly 3 meters and after advancing for a bit there's several similar pairs of double doors on the left side of the direction she's proceeding. On the opposite side there's windows for light and shoji fitted on to them but since it's dark outside they probably have no meaning other than just decorations. Just the same as the lobby there's lightning magic tools along the ceiling of the hallway and they're giving off light. On Webundo's instruction they must be left on all through the night up to the descending stairwell that's supposedly ahead of here.

Miduchi continues while restlessly looking around the first royal palace she's entered since she was born, after turning left twice a stairwell that almost seemed as if it was descending into the abyss appeared. There's light from the ceiling going down the stairs. After descending down the long stairwell and the floor changed to the same polished stone that was at the entrance lobby. Since she had heard that even for the service rank maids the basement was prohibited from entering she thought there would be dust but as far as she could tell it was carefully being cleaned.

Now then, if we were to go off of common sense there should be a switch around here for the lightning magic tools. Thinking that she tried fumbling around searching the wall where she assumed one would be but couldn't find one. Since it couldn't be helped she used the spell {Light} on her left fingertip to light up the area. Infrared vision would be fine as well but since it's a rare chance she wanted to see with proper color. After descending the stairs as far as she could see down the hall that was on the immediate left there was nothing like a switch. The light shining from the {Light} reflect off the polished stone floor and walls and make it visible a considerable distance though the ceiling just seems to continue for quite a while. For the time being there were lightning magic tools along the ceiling.

Around the dead end she can see in the distance there's one set of double doors and then two sets of double doors that can be seen on the left side. One of these three doors should be the {room of sleep}. Since she has light she won't trip in the darkness. It seems that the stone used in the basement isn't granite but marble. The moment she took one step forward, Miduchi twitched as if she had been hit with an electric current. (What? Just now?) and she only thought that for a moment, it soon made sense. Just now was probably a check for intruders. She can't even guess what kind of principle it works on but the walls on both sides there's two rows of circular holes lined up and when she looked into one she understood it. It's probably some kind of anti-intruder sensor. There were spears embedded in the holes.

She can tell there's something moving a bit ahead in the hallway. It's not very big. It looks like a transparent jelly about 15 cm high in the shape of a cube. About once every 3 seconds it seems to be rolling. (What is that?) and she thought that but it was something Shiina Junko knew about. That's most likely {Cubic Jelly}. A splendid monster. Normally they make their nests in underground dungeons like Baldukk and they're often much larger in size. Right, large enough to bury the entire passage. They're the cleaners of the dungeon who cleanly dispose of the corpses of monsters and adventurers defeated. Did she tame those and use them as cleaners? If they're large scale ones then you could say they're considerably troublesome powerful enemies but if it's that size then there's no harm at all. When she approached it to get a closer look she could see a small magic stone about the size of a little finger inside of it.

She arrived just in front of the first door. When she checked the plate on it and it says {room of meditation}. The plate on the next door was "Bath". Why is just this one in Japanese? In that case the {room of sleep} or whatever should be the one at the end of the hall. She went to the end of the hall and checked the plate and just as she guessed, it was the {room of sleep}. Miduchi took a deep breath and then put her hands on the door door to try and push it open, she was about to push it but the moment her hands touched it, it was slow but automatically opened.

She nervously entered inside. Some lighting magic tools automatically lit up. The room seems to stretch out to the left. There seems to be a length of about 15 m. There's shelves all over in the room and all sorts of things she can't tell what they are placed all over the place. Among that stuff, the things that caught her eye was large bed enshrined further in the back, the desk in the corner, and a large hole opened in the middle of the floor. Could it be someone dug a hole in order to sneak into her majesty the Queens bedroom!? and, shortly after she thought that a voice echoed out from somewhere. Not in her ears, it felt like it echoed directly into her head.

"If it's Shiina-san then sing the Japanese national anthem, if it's not then leave now. You have 10 seconds. 10.."

In a panic she took out the anku and put her to her forehead while singing the Japanese national anthem. She thought, there's no to sing it all in 10 seconds but the counter stopped after she got through singing the first phrase. After she finished singing and a 3D image of Lilus appeared above the hole in the center of the room. The image differs from the one she saw during the day and it's transparent enough to see through to the other side a bit. Also, around the knees of both her legs they're fused together and around the point where they've fused the skin seems to change into that of a plant as it gets even thicker. Beyond that is almost like the roots of a plant entering the hole in the ground. With long hair that's white than snow and slightly diluted blue purple color skin. Her red-violet eyes are a bit slanted in the shape of almonds. On her back is 8 spider legs that almost seem to have broken through the skin and seem to be vaguely moving. She's not wearing any type of clothing.

"Confirmed as Shiina-san. This a spell that I assembled on Year 7444, Month 5, Day 30. It's possible for it to reply to some extent but it can't reply to questions that are far too apart from the details that I had assumed. Also, I can't reply to any questions regarding the principles of this world. Since time is limited if there's anything that is insufficient I'm sorry. First, a confirmation. Is this your first time coming to this place?"

"Yes, it's the first time."

Miduchi knelt down in a hurry before replying and then the image stopped for about half a second before starting to move again and opening it's mouth.
