Chapter 74: Exploring the Lowest Floor

As the magic elevator reached the 5th floor, Narumi led Flora and Dune through the expansive sky corridor that interconnected the merging 1st to 5th floors. He explained, "These floors are merged together, forming a spacious hangar for our five giant mechs, including my Avalon. Additionally, we have hundreds of Celestial Mechs and many other units ready for deployment. We are always prepared to engage in battle against the colossal biomachine monsters at anytime."

As Flora and Dune eagerly peered through the large glass windows of the 5th-floor corridor, they beheld the sight of Narumi's Avalon and the other four towering giant mechs in the expansive hangar, their eyes widening with excitement. "Did you see it, Dune? That's Narumi-shishou's Avalon! It looks so cool!" Flora exclaimed, her finger pointing at the impressive giant mech.

Dune nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, it's truly remarkable. Avalon is the symbol of Narumi-shishou's strength, a testament to his unwavering dedication to fight and protect the lives of many people since the day he arrived in this world," Dune replied with admiration in her voice as they continued to gaze at the towering machines. The sight of Avalon and the other giant mechs filled them with a profound sense of respect for Narumi's unwavering commitment to defending others.

Continuing their journey, they passed by several technical and maintenance rooms where skilled magic craftsmen were diligently working on various projects and performing maintenance on the numerous units. The rhythmic sounds of machinery filled the air, creating an atmosphere of innovation and progress. Flora's eyes darted from one technician to another, her face beaming with admiration. Dune nodded in appreciation, her fingers lightly tracing the intricate patterns of the magical equipment.

As they arrived at the gravity control room, they were greeted by the imposing crystal horn from the 9th colossal biomachine monster, emanating a mysterious black aura, embedded within the gravity control machine. Narumi explained that this gravity control system was still in the testing phase. He added, "Later this afternoon, we will conduct a test to create a zero gravity field outside. This will allow the entire large mobile floating fortress to float without relying on the floating system."

Flora's eyes widened with excitement, and she clasped her hands together. "Dune, can you believe it? the entire large mobile floating fortress will floating in the sky without the need of floating system!" Her voice was filled with wonder and amazement. Dune nodded, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. "It's truly extraordinary, Flora. Being able to witness this testing phase feels like we are at a pivotal moment in history."

Moving on to the temperature control room, they encountered a large rainbow sphere from the 8th colossal biomachine monster, embedded within the temperature control machine. Narumi elucidated its function, "This machine enables us to control the temperature both inside and outside the large mobile floating fortress. It grants us the freedom to easily navigate and adapt to different climates across the world."

Flora's mind brimmed with wonder as she contemplated the endless possibilities that lay ahead. "Dune, just imagine! We can travel to any place and experience a wide range of climates and environments. It's absolutely incredible!" Her eyes gleamed with excitement as she envisioned the adventures to come. Dune smiled warmly, sharing in Flora's enthusiasm. "You're right, Flora. With this ability, we'll have the opportunity to explore diverse locations, gather materials, and broaden our knowledge as magic engineers. It's truly a remarkable feat."

Finally, they arrived at the awe-inspiring engine room. Their eyes widened as they beheld the massive 20-meter-high magic reactor, pulsating with vibrant energy. Narumi explained that this large magic reactor served as the main energy source for the entire large mobile floating fortress. "Every magic device relies on the energy created by this reactor. While it primarily powers the floating system, control and navigation of the fortress, it also provides the necessary energy for other operations, such as the magic cannons," Narumi clarified.

Flora and Dune exchanged amazed glances, unable to tear their eyes away from the impressive machinery before them. "Dune, can you feel it? The energy in the air is palpable. It's like the heartbeat of this large mobile floating fortress," Flora said in awe, her voice filled with reverence. Dune nodded, her voice soft with admiration. "Indeed, Flora. This large magic reactor is truly the heart of this large mobile floating fortress. The tremendous energy it generates is beyond anything I could have imagined. It's an incredible feat of engineering."

Observing their beaming expressions, Narumi continued to describe the intricate structure of the large magic reactor. He revealed that its core was fused with two diamond eyes from the 3th colossal biomachine monster and enhanced with twin colorless jewels from the 7th colossal biomachine monster, further enhancing its power and efficiency.

Flora's hand instinctively reached out, her fingertips tingling with excitement as if she could almost feel the magic coursing through the reactor. "This is truly a masterpiece of magic engineering, Dune," Flora said, her voice filled with awe. "Indeed, Flora. The craftsmanship and design are both delicate and extraordinary, just as we would expect from Narumi-shishou's brilliant invention," Dune agreed, her voice filled with admiration.

Just as their exploration came to an end, Flora's stomach grumbled, reminding them of their hunger. Narumi smiled warmly at his cute disciple appetites and suggested, "Why don't we head to the restaurant on the 9th floor? They serve a variety of delicious dishes, including the genetic vegetable salad that I highly recommend. It's a unique culinary experience that you won't find anywhere else."

Excitement filled their hearts as Flora and Dune eagerly followed Narumi to the restaurant. The aroma of freshly prepared meals wafted through the air, teasing their senses. As they sat down at a table, they marveled at the beautiful presentation of their dishes, each carefully crafted with a combination of genetically enhanced vegetables and other ingredients.

Flora took a bite of the genetic vegetable salad and her eyes widened in delight. "Wow! The flavors are incredible! It's so fresh and vibrant. I can taste the harmony of nature and technology in every bite," she exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine enthusiasm. Dune nodded in agreement, savoring the intricate blend of flavors. "You're right, Flora. This is a perfect fusion of innovation and nature. The taste is exquisite, and it's amazing to think that these flavors were enhanced by the advancements of magic engineering."

They exchanged delighted smiles, grateful for the incredible experiences they had shared throughout their exploration of the large mobile floating fortress. The combination of technology, nature, and gastronomic delights had left a lasting impression on them. With each bite, they savored not only the food but also the memories they had created together.

As they continued to enjoy their meal, their laughter and animated conversations filled the restaurant, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere. It was a moment of appreciation for the wonders of the world they were fortunate enough to explore and the bonds they had formed on this extraordinary journey.
