VOLUME 1, SPECIAL It has always been a problem, so I decided to take measures in the matter in question . ăElevator⌠. . you wanted, yes?ă
Adora asked me once more with a dubious expression .
ăCorrect . The tower which stands at the center of Infermia, it is as high as 200 meters . However, there exist only stairs . This is a serious situationă
Going around the colonnade is around 10 meters in diameters, it should be a spiral staircase that starts from the bottom to the top floor . Yup, every time I have a conference with the Hel Sector for official business as the Demon Lord, Iâll be able to go up and down from this staircase . Since I am wearing the Demon Lordâs armor, compared with humans, my physical abilities have risen up remarkably, so I donât get tired . It takes more time, and is a nuisance .
ăYou people too, arenât you having difficulties on a daily basis?ă
As I asked, their reaction was slow . Arere? Thatâs weird . Because, would they just keep on going down such a trouble staircase silently? Itâs like if it was some sort of secret Buddhist teachings .
However, Adora of Hell Sector, Gracia, Forneus, and Satanakia seem to understand nothing behind the meaning of my own words, putting up a troubled expression . Oi oi, are you kidding me .
ăWhatâs wrong? Is it troubling? Adoraă
ăWe, sincerely apologize, Iâve never felt this sort of inconvenience beforeă
Eeh? Ah right, this guy has a lot of desk work . Perhaps he withdraws himself from the upper layer of the tower .
ăHow about you, Gracia?ă
ăWell? Iâm particularly bored⌠. . ă
Oi, are you serious . Well, since this guyâs a muscle for brains after all . Though it doesnât bother him much⌠. . How about the girls?
ăSatanakia, do you feel inconvenience without the staircase?ă
ăYes . Especially⌠. . ah, bută
I see! Itâs fine, so donât hold back! Luxury is our enemy, I will not call you out such as things during the Pacific War!
ăMy room, itâs rather inconvenient for me because there is no direct access to Hellshaft-samaâs roomăăThat, I donât requireă
Satanakia responded with aăIs that soăwithout minding her expression .
Only Forneus remains . Iâm putting all my hopes to this person!
But, after asking Forneus the same question, with her eyes wide open, she tilted her head . I could feel the symbolă?ăvisible inside my head .
Umu . It was wrong for me to ask these guys . Not to mention me expecting something from the last bit of hope that was left!
When I was greatly perplexed, Satanakia whispers in Forneusâ ears, explaining the meaning of my question . After finally understanding it, Forneus claps her hands together with a pop .
ăItâs not convenient at all-mon ă
HuhâŚâŚI see . Never I did think I was in the minority . Moreover, itâs a one-sided defeat with a difference of four to one . I should call this a historical feat . Iâll just put it in as a humiliation inside Infermia .
Towards myself whoâs sunken in deep trouble, Forneus began talking optimistically .
ăSince I fly through the colonnade, Iâve never used the staircase-mon ă
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!?
I who received a sudden impact, Adora said hurriedly .
ăI myself also use the colonnade, climbing up and downă
Really! I forgot these two can fly through the skies! Forneus whoâs a fallen angel has splendid wings, and Adora who can move his body like smoke itself .
Ku~! A blind spot . Iya, then what about Gracia and Satanakia? These two shouldnât be able to fly through the skies .
Noticing my gaze, Gracia floated a huge bright smile . Then he pointed at himself when putting his thumb up .
ăI also use the colonnade, you know? Iâve never used the staircaseă
ăHowever, you cannot fly through the skies⌠. . ăăAah . I kick up from the railings and rise up . Jumping continuously, I can arrive there in no time . Itâs the same for Satanakia too, right?ă
ăYes . Itâs just as Gracia saidă
Fucking hell! Really! So I was the only one using the staircase! Itâs no wonder these guys have never made a complaint!
ăEven if you donât feel inconvenience from it, itâs a problem for me! Fine, weâll just investigate the installation construction of the elevator urgently! This is top priority!ă
ââAnd three days passed .
ăHell-samaăź, Iâve thought about how to install the elevator, so I want you to compliment Forneus-monă
While feeling uneasiness, I heard what Forneus was saying .
ăAlong the walls of the colonnade, I think itâd be nice to put in a slide-mon  A huge slide would be pleasant-monă
Itâs a slide, not an elevator, is it?
ăBy the way, what about you going up?ă
ăFue? Itâs not that I donât go up the staircase but, Forneus is still thinking about it-monă
Umu . I donât understand whatâs our problem in the first place!
ăHow about you, Satanakia?ă
Nodding with a cool expression, Satanakia spread one piece of drawing on a desk .
ăYes . This here is a construction plan that will allow my room to have a direct access to Hellshaft-samaâs roomă
Your planâs purpose is different! Next is, Gracia!
ăIâve thought about things . Wouldnât it be nice to have the stairs? It would be an exercise after allă
The origin was denied in the first place! The only one that remains is you, I ask of you, Adora!ăIn order to make a suitable elevator inside Infermia, I will be forming a special committee . Calling all able designers and craftsmen of the Bargaia continent . As I am considering gold and jewelry as raw materials, Iâll begin arranging plans for miningă
Somewhat like 2A guild, a lot of quests will likely happen from now on .
ăU, umu . Thatâs fine, so how much time will it take?ă
ăYes . To gather the staff would be around half a year, preparing and mining the raw materials would be another half a year, and thinking that the construction period would be around a year, around two years in totală
I canât wait that long! Maybe, wonât I go back to reality at that time? Itâs all about vigor .
Giving up, I headed to the garden where Aikawsan was to consult her .
ăAah, I wonder if thatâs possibleă
ăEh, really?ă
ăIt could be designed freely if it was only housing but, it would be difficult as long as you do not modify the mapping programme for Infermiaă
I dropped my shoulder dejectedly .
Looking at me, Aikawsan floated a bitter smile, and consoled me .
ăBut, since Exodia Exodus has many systems and tools that even I donât know well of, there might be means to realize ită
ăEh? I donât understandâŚâŚhuh?ă
Aikawsan who stood up, stretch her waist that was squatting from weeding, and leak out a light groan .
ăEven I myself donât know much about this world, you know? Rather, I only know a part of it . How far the world is spreading, I donât know whatâs being implementedă
ăEh? Is that so?ă
Though I thought Aikawsan knew all about this world but, I was wrong .
ăIn the first place, Iâm working on the progress management from the outside, even if I do know the outlines of it, I wonât understand anything beyond that . In additionââă
Her tone of voice faded .
ăThe sort of countermeasures being done from the outside, the sorts of influence it would have in this world, and what will become of usâŚâŚI donât even know about it . I donât even know when a mail from the outside will be sent, it has already become a declaration of Godâs messageă
Mails from the outside have stopped coming, adding another sad expression to her face .
Aikawsan whoâs was at her witâs end, I forcibly brought out a bright voice .
ăI understand! I guess even Aikawsan isnât even aware of all the most splendid items there are! We still have our hopes!ă
ăDoumeguri-kun?ă
ăWell, I, canât just give up on the elevator for this castle yet . Elucidating things of this world in various methods possible, I will absolutely attach an elevator that will feel pleasant . He who will boast the fastest lift speed from the ground!ă
Aikawsan smiled and squat down on the spot, and reached out for the weed .
ăThen, do your best . Other than thatââă
N?
ăGo back to the 2A guild soon . Although this place may be comfortable for you, it would be troublesome if you take your eyes off of them and they make their moveă
Breaking out in a cold sweat inside my armor, I faced the other way .
ăN, no . I still have something left to do hereâŚâŚAnd, Shizukuishi has been weirding me out recentlyâŚâŚ . Well enough, my nerves have been reducedâŚâŚă
ăWhat happened to that remarks you made a little while ago! Merely convenient things, donât turn your eyes away from reality!ă
ăY, yesss~!ă
I ran away on the spot .
The problems that Iâm facing . To survive in this world until weâre ready to be rescued, meanwhile, Iâll be having to fight my classmates off, is it really fine to call this reality? Isnât it more like unrealistic than saying itâs reality . While thinking of such things, I opened my menu of teleportation .
