this day.
While everyone in the team was spending their days lazily, they were forced to gather in a warehouse in the suburbs.
"Senior Xiao Lin, you came to us in such a hurry. What's the matter?"
"Huh huh huh - that's a great thing! Sato-kun will definitely be very happy later!" Xiaolin, who was asked, said pretending to be mysterious.
If Aqua and the others said this, Sato Kazuma would definitely leave without saying a word or looking back, but if it was the reliable Kobayashi-senpai, he would be happy to believe it and began to secretly expect it in his heart.
"I really miss this place. The large mecha that intercepted the Mobile Fortress Destroyer is still in the corner."
"It's a pity that it has become tattered due to overuse. No, it would be better to say it is proof."
"And Liu Zi's adjustment device is also here."
"Look here! I still remember this hole. It was originally my room. It was very cold in the spring night. Later, because it was too cold, I ran to share the same bed with Xiao Lin. Ah, maybe it was at that time that I raised It has become a habit to sleep with Xiaolin."
Aqua and the others were making a fuss back and forth in the warehouse, while pointing at the corners with nostalgia on their faces.
Only Youyou looked puzzled.
"what are you guys saying?"
"That's right, Youyou doesn't know."
"Ah, speaking of which, Yoyo joined the team after we moved to the mansion."
"A woman who enjoys everything."
The three of them talked in unison.
"Wait, wait a minute... Megumin, don't say it so harshly!" The simple girl from the Crimson Demon Tribe didn't understand why she was being condemned by her good friend, and she yelled in dissatisfaction.
Megumin touched the somewhat dilapidated pillars and said softly: "Although life here is not easy, at least it has preserved our precious memories, and it still has a meaning."
"...Hey, Hui Hui is rare in remembering the past?" Youyou looked surprised.
She soon learned from Darkness and the others that this warehouse was originally their initial stronghold, and they moved out after making a lot of money and buying a mansion.
At first, I wanted to sell it to raise funds, but due to the existence of large-scale mechas, I put this idea on hold. Over time, it became a warehouse for storing sundries and adjusting Liuzi.
"It's great, the memories..."
Youyou was extremely envious.
She has always been envious of being able to create memories... no, to be precise, [creating meaningful things with friends] and looked forward to being able to participate in it.
It's a pity that she doesn't have many friends. Even for friends of the Crimson Demon Clan, due to the Crimson Demon Clan’s unique chuunibyou, they cannot regard it as good memories.
Aqua said cheerfully: "Don't be so discouraged, Yunyun, aren't we making memories now?"
"Yes, yes...hehe..."
The girl twitched her lips.
I really wanted to agree with what the other party said, but I searched my mind and recalled it carefully, but I couldn't come up with anything worth remembering or meaningful. Instead, they were all tragic and tragic experiences, no different from those in the Crimson Demon Clan.
Xiaolin suddenly said: "Creating meaningful memories with friends...? Then maybe this thing will help. Come with me."
He led everyone to the center of the warehouse.
Since no one needed to live here, all the rooms were demolished. Thanks to this, a lot of space was freed up.
And in the spacious space, there is a big guy with a metallic color on the surface, with small red and green lights flashing on it.
Below it, there are several black silk threads connected to a strange hemispherical object.
The overall look is full of technology.
Sato Kazuma was confused and asked: "Senior Kobayashi, what exactly are you asking us to do? What are these? Can we get into the topic?"
"Don't be anxious, Mr. Sato. Good things must be eaten slowly and carefully." Xiaolin handed him a dark object and said, "First of all, guess what this is."
As the puzzle was thrown out, others became interested. They all came forward and kept fiddling with the unknown black hemispherical object in their hands. Because the center was hollowed out, it looked like a lid, but they didn't know what it was covering.
"Did you bring something from the Scarlet Devil Village?"
"Could it be that this is an ancient magic tool from somewhere?"
"I seem to have seen it somewhere."
Aqua and the others were busy discussing it, but with their IQs, they wouldn't be able to figure it out even if they gave it a few days.
Although it is a little less interesting, in order to save time, I still give some tips.
Xiao Lin raised his index finger and said: "I'll give you a hint. These are the things that were moved from the forbidden area of the Red Demon Country. You can guess in that direction."
"The Forbidden Land of the Red Devil? Isn't it that weird researcher? The things that guy makes always feel unreliable. Besides, aren't most of the things he makes are game consoles?...Wait a minute, game consoles...hiss—— !Could it be that……?!!!"
Sato Kazuma, who had the fastest mind, seemed to have discovered something extraordinary, and his eyes suddenly widened.
He couldn't believe it, so he looked at Xiao Lin for confirmation, and found that the other person responded with a smile, as if to say that his guess was correct.
"Hey, hey, hey, it's true...it's too exaggerated...how scary it is to be able to create such a thing..."
"What's wrong, Kazuma, what's true? Why are you so excited? You look like you know that orcs don't have males and you can't believe it? Also, don't hide it. I haven't seen it yet. What! Get it quickly! You are not allowed to keep it for yourself!"
Aqua's big clear eyes revealed her stupidity, and she forcefully snatched away what Sato Kazuma was holding carefully in her arms.
He is the type who doesn't understand anything and still pretends to understand by joining in the fun.
This kind of person is the most disgusting!
Angrily, Sato Kazuma grabbed the cheek of the stupid goddess with one hand, pointed with the other hand at the huge cold machine standing in the center, and shouted at her: "I'm talking about you! This huge metal object with traffic lights flashing on it,... There is something similar to a motorcycle helmet, don’t you think of something?”
"It doesn't matter if it sounds like it?"
"Console and VR headset, idiot!"
Sure enough, he had already guessed what it was. As expected of a modern man who has been bombarded with information.
"Host and..."
"...VR helmet?"
"what is that?"
Unfortunately, everyone present, except Aqua, had no idea what this was or what the appearance of this thing represented.
Aqua also reacted, slapping away Sato Kazuma's mischievous hand, lowering her head to look at the helmet in her arms, and asked: "Wait, Kazuma. You said it's the console and the VR helmet... it's me. Is that the console and VR helmet that you remember?”
"Probably so."
"real or fake?"
"Really. And it was made by Senior Xiaolin."
The two of them turned their heads at the same time and looked over.
"Xiao Lin, are you a goddess!"
"You are the goddess!" Xiao Lin rolled his eyes and explained at the same time: "And I didn't make this thing. Have you forgotten, this thing came out of the forbidden area of the Red Demon Country, I just assembled it That’s all.”
"Assembled?"
"Yeah. It's probably because for some reason, it was left there to rust without enough time to assemble it. It also looks like it hasn't been used yet."
"Eh-that's it-"
Sato Kazuma sighed with unclear meaning.
"Ah, it's true." Aqua looked through the old notebook in her hand, and explained to everyone while reading: "It said that because they were building a country-destroying heavy-duty machine, they were forcibly taken away and had no time to use it. .By the way, this big one is called an integrated processor, and this motorcycle helmet-like thing is called a virtual full-dive helmet... They are really awe-inspiring special terms."
"That's true! Also, you still have that notebook with you, so I won't bother you."
Sato Kazuma couldn't help but complain. Only now did he realize that the stupid goddess also had hamster-like skills and always carried strange things with her.
"How about it, Sato-kun, do you want to use it?"
"This, this..."
Sato Kazuma hesitated.
It's impossible to say he doesn't want to use it. To be honest, he really wants to play with it.
After all, technology was not so developed in the other world, and now I would like to try it if I encounter the perfect opportunity.
But when he thought that the Mobile Fortress Destroyer, Magician Killer, Railgun, etc. were all produced by that unreliable bald researcher, he started to retreat.
There is no such thing as after-sales guarantee in another world, and the bald researcher died hundreds of years ago, so even if he wanted to find trouble, he would never be found.
So it’s better to say no to be on the safe side.
"Well... because it's not very safe and I don't know how to operate it, I'd better put it here first and activate it when I have a chance... Huh?"
"Hey! Do this again and again..."
"Wait Aqua! What are you doing!"
"Ah, there are operating instructions written on it, so I want to try it."
Instructions? Is there such a thing?
Then why didn't Senior Kobayashi ask Aqua and assemble it according to the instructions? That would save more effort.
Turning his head, he saw Xiao Lin with tears streaming down his face and immediately fell to his knees.
"Wuwuwu... Because I wanted to give everyone a surprise, but I didn't expect that my efforts were in vain. Wuwuwu..."
"I understand, I understand. It's all my fault that Aqua didn't tell me in advance, not you."
Sato Kazuma comforted the injured senior.
"As much as I don't want to interrupt you, isn't it time to explain it to us, Xiaolin?"
"That's right, I'm tired of waiting and even want to blow this place up with explosion magic."
"You can't do that, Megumin, it will bury us underneath."
No, I actually forgot the three of them.
Under Darkness, Megumin, and Yoyo's uneasy gaze, he began to explain to them the functions and concepts of the virtual full stealth device.
"...To sum up, it uses countless signal elements buried in the machine to generate multiple electric fields and directly connects to the user's brain. It does not go through sensory organs such as eyes or ears, but directly transmits virtual signals to the brain. A device like this that uses five-sense information to generate virtual space.”
Seeing Sato Kazuma's boastful talk, Xiaolin was curious about such a profound principle. How did he know it?
"Senior Xiaolin, as a senior player, is very concerned about this aspect."
"So, is it because of love?"
There are rumors that virtual full-dive devices will be the future development trend, but it is a pity that the future already depicted in the anime has not been realized even when Sato Kazuma came to another world.
And compared with the game, the difficulty of reality is too high, and the most important thing is that the feedback of reality is too obscure!
Darkness scratched her cheek and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Kazuma. I understand that you are speaking very carefully, and I can also feel that you are not deceiving or prevaricating us, but I still don't understand. I'm really sorry."
"Me too. I can understand what you say, but when you put it together, I don't understand what you mean." Huihui spread her hands.
"And I... I'm sorry, Mr. Kazuma, I failed your kindness. It's all my fault for being stupid!" Youyou blushed and bowed quickly to apologize.
Is it really too difficult to explain science to them?
Sato Kazuma was helpless.
After all, this is a different world where magic exists. In addition, their brains are not very good to begin with, so it is expected that they will not understand. It's a pity that he has no one to share his rare hobbies with.
"Forget it. Just think of it as a magical magic tool that allows you to see different or similar scenery in this world just by wearing this helmet."
"Hmm...you probably understand...?"
"Why is a question."
In addition, he also hates people who don't understand and pretend to understand, because this will turn people's enthusiasm into anger after they find out that they have been deceived.
"So, what is Kazuma afraid of?"
"Uh...are you exposed?"
After being exposed by Megumin, Sato Kazuma scratched his head and said angrily: "I'm thinking whether I should use it or not."
"Huh? It's strange. Kazuma seems to like it very much. Why are you still thinking about whether to use it or not? Generally speaking, you should choose to use it without hesitation!"
"Do you think everyone is as reckless as you?"
Under the puzzling looks of several people, he sighed and said: "...because I don't dare to use it. After all, safety is not guaranteed. I am the type of person who is afraid of the unknown."
"A person who is looking forward to the mystery meal at the Succubus Shop actually says that he is afraid of the unknown?"
"Leave me alone!"
Sato Kazuma rolled his eyes.
Megumin said: "I don't understand what there is to be afraid of. Is life in danger? But even if life is in danger, there is no need to be afraid. Aqua is here, isn't it?"
"That's right, Kazuma, if you die accidentally, I will use magic to resurrect you, so go ahead with confidence!" Aqua gave him a thumbs up, but it didn't sound like she was encouraging him. Brave, more like letting him die.
Darkness puffed up her chest and said, "There is no need to be afraid. If there is any danger, let me be a shield! Rather, let me be a shield and experience unknown dangers... Awesome! Hiss—— Ha-his-ha-"
"Mr. Xiaolin said that it can create memories. I, I also want to create memories with you all...can't you?" Youyou's voice was very small, but there was desire in her words.
I didn’t expect everyone to want to use it.
Does it mean that adventurers must have an adventurous spirit?
After being begged by many beautiful girls, I had to use it now.
"Well, now that everyone says so."
"Great! Everyone come together!"
"But if there is any danger, you have to leave quickly, do you understand?"
"I know I know."
Aqua obviously wasn't listening, she turned her head and quickly adjusted the machine.
Not long after——
The integrated processor hummed and the machine seemed to boot up smoothly.
Several people each took a helmet in their hands and were told how to wear it, and then they lay down on the specially prepared beds one by one.
"Huh, I'm a little nervous."
"After all, it's the first time."
"By the way, Senior Xiaolin, do you want to shout out that classic line?"
"Oh! You have to shout, you have to shout!"
The conversation between the two aroused the curiosity of others.
"What classic line?"
"Actually..."
"What's the point of this? Do I have to shout?"
"It's a fixed routine to use this shouting line! Okay, don't be shy, let's shout together!"
"……no way."
Darkness, Megumin, and Yunyun sighed after being persuaded by Aqua.
Then--
"1, 2...!"
"Link Start!" X6
It's a big job. In addition, this machine will play a vital role in the next volume. It is the first of its kind in this book. As for whether it will be used in the future, it will depend on the response after the next volume is written.
