The seasonal features of this world seem to be very similar to our original world. The sun doesn't set until 7:30 in the summer evenings. This in itself is not a problem, but for those of us waiting, we can only watch the sun slowly set and sigh. Well~ It feels like the sun in this world is much bigger than our original one. This unusual visual experience is quite pleasant, to say the least.
"Brother, dinner~"
Oyado appeared silently behind me and handed me the takeout in the bag.
I've gotten used to Oyado's scary way of appearing, and now checking the mini-map every three seconds has become a habitual action.
"Thanks~ Oyado, have you eaten?"
"Not yet, I planned to eat with Brother~"
"Is that so? Sit down and eat."
Opening the bag with the takeout, my brows couldn't help but furrow.
After a moment of pause, I turned to look at Oyado.
"Um... what is this?"
"Fried chicken nuggets."
"... I know it's fried chicken nuggets... okay, why is there only fried chicken nuggets?"
"Well... because..."
Upon hearing this, Oyado rarely shifted her gaze elsewhere.
But after a moment, she looked back at me.
"Eating more chicken is helpful for muscle training!"
"Stop talking nonsense. Eating so much fried food will only make you gain fat! Didn't I tell you to buy vegetables as well... Is the food you eat all fried chicken nuggets?"
"Well... um..."
"Shh!"
Just then, I suddenly noticed a strange mark on the mini-map.
Normally, people's markers move slowly on the ground, but this person... was teleporting on the mini-map, blinking in and out.
It felt like they were quickly moving from one position to another.
I quickly signaled Oyado to be quiet, and she nodded before waving her hand. A gray film fell on me, and we both slowly turned translucent! Impressive, is this some kind of skill or magic?
But it's not the time to study that now. I nodded and looked in the direction of the red dot.
The sun had just set behind the hill, and the surroundings were gradually sinking into darkness.
The whole square seemed to be empty, and the other person must have used the invisibility skill, making it impossible for me to see their figure and title.
But we have Oyado~
"Do you see it?"
"Just walked behind the third statue. It seems like they're heading towards the place where we fought this morning."
That's right, our location is where we clashed with the Blue Sea Knights. The wreckage on the ground won't be recovered until tomorrow morning, and the humanoid exoskeletons turned into scrap are still lying on the floor.
And the reason we stay here is naturally to wait for the people who come here to "recycle" the parts.
Yes, recycle!
All-knowing Eye! Activate!
Timing it correctly, I opened my eyes towards the position of the square, and a blurry figure gradually appeared.
Tiya Sai
Female Alchemist LV24 Mechanical Engineer LV26
Neutral, Boring, Developer, "Sain's Gate," The Careless, Forgetful
She was wearing a lab coat with optical camouflage, and with her short stature, it was impossible to see her without All-knowing Eye.
"Good, go and catch her!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Oyado appear behind the person and bind them with something I didn't recognize.
Really, it's like a loli kidnapping or something.
"Ah, let go of me~"
Before she could finish speaking, Oyado had already lifted the person and jumped back onto the roof, then threw her to the ground.
"Hey, Miss Tiya~ Are you here to collect the things left by 'Sain's Gate'?"
I helped her up and asked with a smile.
"How... how do you know my name?! Wait... are you... also a 'player'?"
"So 'player' is what you call yourselves, huh?"
This guy is probably around the same age as Aliyah, with light yellow hair tied back with a headband. His face looks like a doll's, with a pair of round-framed glasses.
"Because there is no more appropriate term... Wait! Are you really him! Let me go already! Seriously!"
"No, no, I have no reason to let someone who can possibly create a computer motherboard go."
That's right, this guy from the 【Seine Gate】 has already used the materials of this world to create the chips of a computer motherboard!
{Three hours ago}
"Fir! These guys have developed something more advanced than a terminal! No, I suspect that they even made the terminals themselves!"
Just as our group returned to the base, Dale rushed towards us like he was on stimulants!
"Hey hey hey! What are you saying!"
I gave him a look.
What a joke, Oyado and Princess Annie are still here.
"Oh, well, come here!"
After saying that, this guy grabbed me and dragged me into his laboratory.
As soon as I entered the lab, I was almost scared to death. The room that was clean just a while ago is now filled with various equipment.
On the large screen made up of four small screens in the middle, countless data is rapidly jumping around. I have no idea which terminals this guy is invading.
In the center of the room, several data cables made of an unknown material are connected to the black box that Dale picked up earlier.
"Do you know! This black box is not ordinary, the hard drive inside has 8TB! It even has a signal transmitter! But don't worry, I've already cut off the signal."
"Alright, that means we already have the resources to make a move, and then what?"
"Don't you understand? This means that the person who made this has directly copied the technology from our world! The previous terminals were just using similar materials, which made the whole mechanism so big. But according to the technology inside this black box, the other party might have already materialized laptops!"
"No... it could be something even scarier."
I silently said while looking at the black box.
"Huh?"
"Perhaps they have already brought back the existence of mobile phones."
{Now}
"Well~ you want to search me... I dare not, so, Oyado, go on, see what's hidden on her!"
"Huh? No way! Stop it! There... no, wait..."
Seeing Oyado reach out with a smile, I gentlemanly turned my head away.
Peek? I would never do such a thing. I am an upright person.
"Brother, she doesn't have anything on her~"
"Is that so..."
I turned to look at her, and she now has a bright red face, looking as if she had just been doing... intimate things.
I coughed twice.
"Um... it seems that you have put all your stuff in the ring. Let me just ask directly, have you already developed laptops and mobile phones?"
"Huh... how did you know... No! We haven't!"
"It's too late! Tell me, what do you plan to do with these things you've made?"
"I... I won't tell!"
"Is that so?"
I pushed my glasses up and pointed to Oyado next to me.
"Huh? Again? Why are you helping this glasses weirdo! Wait... are you his sister? That's impossible, this guy..."
"Whatever my brother says, I'll do it seriously."
Oyado's words despair the other person.
She looks at me and then at Oyado.
"Well, our guild boss is willing to talk with you guys, but only as 'players'. Is that okay?"
"That's even better!"
I smiled and pressed the send button on the communication device.
"All members gather."
