This strong linkage has apparently brought significant economic growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…I don’t know the exact details, but that’s what Miyo, who lives in Shashaato City, told me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These teleportation gates were created by Loo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So as long as the necessary materials are available, they can be mass-produced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if teleportation gates could be built anywhere, then things like borders and frontlines would become meaningless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid provoking foreign nations unnecessarily, the official explanation is that these gates were “discovered in ancient ruins”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, the assumption had been that adding new gates would be politically difficult…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then the Demon King said it was fine to expand them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wants to use them to stimulate the domestic economy within the Demon King’s Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Does that mean he doesn’t care what outsiders think?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no point in avoiding using valuable technology just to appease countries you’re not even at war with?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guess so… when you put it that way, yeah, it is strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main concern would be technology leakage, but Loo is the only one capable of creating the teleportation gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if another country were to obtain a gate, it’s estimated that the human race would need several centuries to analyze and reproduce the technology. So, no real risk there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, that doesn’t mean we can go around installing them left and right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doing so would cause economic chaos, not revitalization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why the plan is to expand slowly over time, gradually building out the network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This next development goes against the original policy, but the Demon King personally requested the urgent installation of a teleportation gate along a specific route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That route would connect a fortress west of the Demon King’s Kingdom’s royal capital to the Six Dragon God Kingdom created by Tiselle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since all foreign diplomacy for the Demon King’s Kingdom is now being handled through the Six Dragon God Kingdom, it’s critical that communication between them be as seamless as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon King insisted that slow travel times are unacceptable, and thus, the installation of teleportation gates became necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「We also want to stop the Impure Dragons from flying in every time something happens…」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I told him people would get used to it eventually, but he countered that some have weak hearts, so it’s best to avoid sudden dragon fly-ins altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fair enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of the Demon King—he’s considerate of his people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, the decision to place the teleportation gate at the fortress instead of the capital was a defensive precaution—in case anything goes wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gate won’t be used frequently, but for safety and order, it will be set up as two separate one-way gates—one for outgoing travel, and one for returning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of that, once Youko and Miyo learned that new teleportation gates could be installed, they made a request of their own:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They want to add another teleportation route between Village Five and Shashaato City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, there’s a teleportation gate on Shashaato City’s northern side, but they want a new one on the eastern side this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They also requested that this pair of gates be one-way, requiring two more teleportation gates—one for travel to Shashaato City, and another for the return trip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though we’re working on building the new Village Five Road, there’s just no beating the speed of teleportation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Preparations for both of these gate installations are now underway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teleportation gates currently restricted to authorized personnel from Big Tree Village are linked from the dungeon beneath the village to both the hot springs area and Village Five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, a new link was established from Village Five to the underground level of the Patisserie Fairy Fairy, located at the foot of the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And furthermore, from Village Five, there’s a teleportation gate connected to the academy grounds in the royal capital, specifically to the basement of Alfred’s house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, that gate in Alfred’s basement has existed for quite some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be precise, it was installed shortly after Alfred and the others enrolled in the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loo, worried about Alfred attending the academy, had wanted to be able to check on him whenever necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also wanted a way for him to immediately escape back home if anything went wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that in mind, Loo secretly installed the teleportation gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only people who know about this gate are the three who accompanied Alfred to the academy—Asa, Earth, and Metora.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alfred, Ursa, and Tiselle weren’t told.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loo felt that informing them would defeat the purpose of sending them to study away from home in the first place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s one thing to keep this hidden from me…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But to keep it a secret from the Demon King and the principal? That might be a bit much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, that very gate in Alfred’s basement has now come to light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Loo reported its existence to me, hoping it could help resolve the situation with Glatts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, Glatts has now been granted permission to use the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glatts’ problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, Glatts had been neglecting his duties, seemingly because he wanted to spend more time with Ronana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Demon King, Beezel, and the Deputy Chief of Staff—who had just given a lecture recently—all grew concerned and came to me for help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t the first time something like this had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, the issue had been resolved by having Ronana stay at Youko’s mansion in Village Five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So I thought the problem was taken care of…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But upon looking into it, I found the real culprit: the teleportation gate traffic jam between Village Five and Shashaato City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of that congestion, Glatts had less time to see Ronana—and instead of adjusting his work hours, he simply refused to sacrifice time with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was even prepared to resign from his post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, the Demon King and others didn’t approve of that and were at a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s when the idea came up: the teleportation gate linking the academy in the royal capital and Village Five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not open to the public, so it might as well be a Glatts-exclusive route.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With it, in the extreme case, Glatts can just visit the academy and see Ronana there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glatts was overjoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So was Ronana.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m relieved things worked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That said, I did give Loo a light scolding for setting up the gate without telling anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I do understand she was just worried about Alfred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…….\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, she wanted to say, “Just in case something like this happened…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And honestly, I get that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, I’m glad things didn’t escalate to the point where she’d have to say it out loud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As an aside, I also got scolded by Youko for not consulting her about installing the teleportation gate under the pastry shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yeah… my bad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wasn’t there a distance limitation to the teleportation gates Loo created?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m pretty sure that’s why we used to call them “short-distance teleportation gates”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now the distance issue is… already resolved?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently, yes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They just didn’t announce it publicly because of concerns it would be seen as a security threat by other nations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Demon King—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does he know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know for sure, but… maybe he figured it out?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would explain why he wasn’t surprised at all when I told him about the teleportation gate installed at the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Makes sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected of the Demon King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-0-\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The teleportation gate that had been secretly installed for Alfred and the others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, naturally, it wasn’t in the most convenient location, since it was meant to be hidden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it turned out to be a bit too inconvenient when they used it daily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, having someone show up every single day would just be a hassle for everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in the end, a new plan was made.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A private residence for Glatts was built on the academy grounds, under the official cover of it being “student housing”.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the teleportation gate was moved there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for gate security, several spiderlings were assigned to guard Glatts’s new home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>TN: You think “traffic” is just a modern world problem?\u003C\u002Fp>",1785,"2026-06-05T23:08:41.452Z",1,"novelbin.me","715d17e5704a2f9eb2c1ecd13f046a8f7ca8b83ddc5344025e609380a993d218","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-925","isekai-nonbiri-nouka-chapter-923",1036,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fisekai-nonbiri-nouka-cover.jpg"]
