Book 4: Chapter 20
** Underground City Urume Head Family **
The other building with lookouts that Reiji found, the luxurious one, boasted the largest size in the underground city.
That doesn’t mean that it has a majestic appearance, however. It has an octagonal base of 5-storeys, and many various-shaped buildings stacked on top like lego blocks.
At the center of it was the residence of the Urume Head Family. The “City Council” consisting of 10 members decides the rules of the Underground City. And the family that has served as the council chairman for generations is the Urume family. So you can see their importance in this city.
Although the light outdoors had been switched off, the inside of the residence was lit up with dazzling lights. Intricately cut glass reflected the light of the magic lamp brilliantly. The interior was as luxurious as the light design, but the furniture colour and design was too mismatched.
For example, an ethnic display shelf was placed on a chic argyle-patterned carpet, and a steel table was placed next to it. The reason is that these were handed down from generation to generation, and they were all ones plundered during the war periods.
「I heard that the patrol unit was defeated, but you didn’t write it in your report it seems?」
Sarume, the current head of the Urume head family, said.
Unlike the urban residents who wear simple clothes, she wore a super frilly one-piece dress you hardly see even on a dress-up doll. The jeweled rings fitted on each of her fingers on both hands almost looked like brass knuckles.
