Chapter 068: Choices

  Very quickly they let me into the city, shocker, although I was told that my army of bots wouldn’t be able to follow me inside so I had no choice but to station them outside the walls.Of course that nameless goddess was bubbly skipping alongside me.“In today's sixteen hundred news report we o discuss the upti bandit activity in the…”As I walked by a shop (excited to perhaps take a break from this hellish world) I couldn’t help pick up the sound of a radio. Just listening to the quality revealed it to be more “modern” than the one ihe god hunters saloon. Giving it a look revealed it to also be less oral but still in that “viyle.Though suddenly I felt like something was wrong with this situation. Not as if I was in danger or someone was doing some dastardly plotting against me. Rather it was an issue with this very world than one specifically targeting me. Walking through the streets again; I began to pick up on things that I had initially let slide due to just believing this was another world with a different sequence ress. Specifically I took note of the radios that were littered about. People seem generally happy about it all things sidered.No matter where I looked there seemed to be these devices. One couldn’t go very far without hearing some over the radio - perhaps you’d even be able to see a TV ft s or two with security secretly watg over it. All that in of itself wasn’t massive si was far lower level than my own world.What was strange about it was that it felt… Artificially pced in. Looking at the nice cafe’s & bakeries that lihe streets, especially those with patio tables for people to rest, those radios would just be sat there without any kind of powersource presence. Batteries made sense of course.Yet this was a world of magid I felt no magi them - it could just be some form of shielding that prevehe mana from esg yet that seemed unlikely. Dragons weren’t able to keep mana esg from their bodies so how could human iions? Additionally there was another matter.A ck of logic.“You’re so cute when you get lost in your thoughts~.” That master of mine said something but I chose to tactically ignore her. Not actually pig up on what she said and just the fact she spoke while looking in my general dire with a hand over her mouth as she giggled.There were wireless TV’s & radio’s with no anten no matter where I looked they did not have any form of led unicatioween each other. Some may think that I am just pulling that out of my admittedly impressively rge rump… But one has to remember my first versation with the guards.If they had the ability to unicate there is no way it wouldn’t see military usage. Despite that, the old captai asking about details of their army as well as what happened ihe city. Their panic would be far greater if they had this sort of teology due to receiving s. This all despite there being clear methods to unicate in the very wireless radios that littered the city everywhere I looked. But for some strange reason the military didn’t have their own issioned? What sort of business could pletely ignore a king when in his territory.They’d be well aware that something had gone horribly wrong since I doubt that ander will be sending any messages. I didn’t notice these insistencies immediately due to being distracted by my first city visit. It was hard to focus on anything else when that just happened. One couldn’t deny that there was clearly a logical falcy about not developing anything akin to the mobile phones of the 21st tury with the level of tech dispyed. Anyone could see the value of a phone over developing a v or radio. All this was leading to a fusing puzzle where I think I cked pieces.Almost as if… “Someone gave these people the tech but not the knowledge on how to recreate it.”A startling realisation that got me to ruo one of the random tables where the radio where an old man was just enjoying a cup of tea. Ign his shock as I practically appeared o him - I tried to grab that radio. Unfortunately it was bolted onto the table so I could only click my tongue in annoyance.“What brand is this radio?” Hoping the old man would know and somehow answer despite us obviously not getting off in the best fashion. For a moment he just gormlessly bli me like a fish who had just been taken out of the water. Soon enough he shook his shock away yet still looked at me in fusion at why I was asking parently seemed like an obvious ao him. “The same pany as all of them?”“So all the radio’s e from the same group…?” I asked to make sure that that startling realisation was actually true. Although I didn’t o even hear his response as his fae everything I o know about this.Someone had an untested monopoly.“Ehehehe~ so this is what you were so curious about~?” That familiar voice asked from behind however anyone could tell it was more of a statement than a genuine question. Looking towards that goddess revealed she had an amused grin on those plump lips of hers.Her gaze turowards the radio without b to aowledge the man who was pletely overwhelmed by bewilderment at this point. Having two cute but buxom girls suddenly approach his table to talk about what he thought was on sense. Not that I cared enough to spare him from that.This rea basically firmed she knew more than she was telling me; so basically I was back at step one when it came to this lizard.Though I wasn’t able t it up as she started to walk away as if she wasn’t ied in tinuing this versation topic. I also wasly in a position to make her talk. “Y’know yoing to have to make a decision about what you want since I don’t want to be called a teacher who takes advantage~..”“What?” I couldn’t help blinking at the strange ge of subject, though, that didn’t stop her from walking which led tetting a signifit lead on me.Running to catch up as she didn’t immediately respond - chosing to hum a tuhat I didn’t reise but could tell sounded like a sea shanty of some kind. It certainly suited her even if it annoyed me. Probably why she kept doing it.“Well I made you do something and in turn that allowed you to learn somethihe question is if what you learned is actually important; do you pn to rely on o defeat your enemies? If so then I certainly gave you a reward else I still owe you.” She said with a smile.Once more dropping a bomb that caused me to freeze up.Did I want to pletely rely on my legion of bots to fight for me; I certainly prepared them to be able to fight but was it really to take my po… I just wahe effit extra man power. There was no way I wao hide behind those bronze knights nor the silver knights after them.Plus… How could I fet my panion? Hand ing down to rest on the holstered body of my precious six-iron (hand sliding up the leather to e across the handle) drawing the masterpiece of german in. “Why would I hide behind those guys when I have all the firepower I need right here.”A smile finding its my lips; almost making me mistake that teacher as a mirror image as her lips also curled up in satisfa at my answer. Her hands reached out as if bang something upon both of her palms. For a moment there was indeed nothiween her hands.That quickly ged as the world itself seemed to crack around her fingers before the sound of shattering gss marked the end of the illusioween her hands now sat a single sheathed sword. I wasn’t an expert but it looked like a katana with green rope things ed around the handle.“I’m not a sharpshooter nor do I have any experience… What I do have experieh is emp my on with my energy and attag at such speed that no one react. So, to you, I will allow you to study my first even on as it holds more secrets than you imagine~.” She said with a smug smile.Holding that sword out for me to grab with me almost wanting to say that she’s just exaggerating how important some random bde is.I couldn’t.Just being in front of the sword made me feel a terrifying pressure that didn’t eveo be iionally released since she hadn’t even drawn the on. It felt like I was in front of some a beast with a mere fragment of its wisdom being enough to drive ao greed. The sword itself was useless to me.What was important was what I could gleam out of it so the words of that loli didn’t seem to be particurly infted due to. It made me wonder just what someone would do for this sword. Also what kind of life this sword had to possess su aura; what was it even made out of?So, with such thoughts, I sheathed my revolver to carefully took the sword from her hands only to quickly pce it in my iory. There was no way I was going to run around with that out. She may not mind but I knew for a fact I couldn’t protect it should some crazy monster notice it’s value.“Let’s return to that dommy mommy~.” Breaking all seriousness - that midget turned on her heel to head towards the pce she kidnapped me from - finger pointed in the dire she was travelling. “Oh… And don’t get it out in this world and only in your own world when pletely alone.”
