After I finished eating all the chicken and the spicy taste of the mustard sauce had completely worn off, I went up to Na-rin’s desk and looked through the apps here and there.

Although Narin likes to lie face down on the bed and look at her phone, it would be better for her back to sit up straight at her desk than to do that.

… … No, is it the neck? Or the shoulder? Anyway, if lying down was good for your health, teachers and doctors in your past life would have told you to lie down and study.

Anyway, we sat at the desk and looked at it together. Since we were looking at things to install on my phone, of course, on my phone.

While looking at it, I asked casually, because it was interesting.

“You said there was a protective film. Do I have to spread it separately?”

“No, it’s a passive app.”

Passive app. It may seem like an unfamiliar word to use in this context, but I understood it as soon as I heard it.

Aha, so this is a convenient app that works automatically without me having to worry about it.

Jihyun’s explanation continued there. The shield is literally a shield. When excessive energy approaches, it automatically unfolds to prevent it from reaching my body.

It is said to block both fast things like bullets and slow but heavy things like building debris.

“It’s pretty good because it blocks flying soccer balls, baseballs, and things like that. It even blocks the average person swinging their fist.”

“Wow.”

“And the life support foam is, well, if you get seriously injured, it temporarily fixes your physical condition. So you can quickly get to a doctor or healer and recover.”

“Wow.”

I died at the gate, but it seems the gate wasn’t a terrible thing to everyone.

They said that this technology was developed with the resources from there. Thanks to that, I can enjoy it like this.

I also showed a video about life-sustaining foam. It’s not an actual accident scene, but it’s a model that shows how it works.

A mannequin was walking down the street when a flower pot fell and hit its head. The mannequin’s head was broken and it fell to the floor, dripping strawberry jam.

Then the camera angle zoomed in on the phone, revealing a phone with golden bubbles flowing out of it.

The bubble surrounded the mannequin’s entire body, and an ambulance came and took the mannequin to the hospital. Then, the mannequin with the bandage on its head turned into a smiling face, which was an educational video.

“Wow! The sands of the night… … . Sob sob!”

“Oh, I think the color-shifter saw something strange somewhere.”

Jihyun closed the beak of the color bird with her arm. Well, I figured out what kind of role the app played.

Now that the explanation of the app we have is over, it’s time to move on to looking at other apps. Narin said as she moved the screen around.

“Two of them are like this. I’m still thinking about what to do with the other two. These days, phones are quad-core, so they can receive up to four of these apps.”

“Quadcore?”

“It means there are four magic stones. One magic stone for each app. Well, sometimes high-capacity apps eat up two or three magic stones. That’s not something you can use on your personal phone.”

At this point, I started to wonder if maybe I really deserved the settlement grant.

The world has changed so much in the span of two years. Hmm, I guess I should keep quiet because I sound like a grandparent if I say something like that.

As I was just quietly looking at the apps that Narin was browsing, I guess she didn’t seem to have much on her mind. Jihyun, who was sitting next to Narin, recommended it to me.

“Namina, how about teleportation? It’s something that a lot of office workers use.”

“That’s a bit ambiguous since you can only do it between two points. Isn’t the only point where Na-min can teleport to her house or a convenience store? It would be nice if you could set it to something more diverse, but that’s not the case.”

“Oh, I see. I feel like it would be a waste of slots to get a teleporter to go to the convenience store.”

“How about Namin? Still, since you have two magic stones, it wouldn’t be bad to fill one with teleportation.”

I think I know what you mean. It seems that teleportation doesn’t allow me to go wherever I want, but rather requires me to designate where to go in advance.

But I thought the same thing as Narin. It would be nice if I could just go back and forth to different places.

If I could go around here and there, starting with Narin’s company and convenience store, I would have chosen teleportation without hesitation.

But only one? If I had to choose a place that we often go to from my house, it would probably be a convenience store. Isn’t that a bit of a waste?

“It takes less than 30 minutes to go back and forth to the convenience store, so I don’t think I’ll need to go back and forth by teleport. Is there anything else I can do?”

“Hmm, then what good would there be? Purification is already done because there is a purification device at home.”

So I searched around, but I couldn’t find an app that I could use.

Convenience apps like self-driving, umbrellas, and levitation are for the average person, and the two defense apps that are already installed seem to be enough.

Then, what caught my eye was a hologram application that reproduced any harmless shape into the desired size.

Maximum human size. Weapons such as guns or knives cannot be uploaded. The most popular app for Halloween.

Note: Do not wear the hologram application as clothes. We are not responsible if your phone battery dies in the middle of the application.

When I saw those explanations, I applauded.

“Narin-ni Unnie. Isn’t this totally great? There’s no risk of people passing by Hamshik and me without seeing us.”

“Oh, I see. Is that okay?”

“I think this would be a really good app for people with small minds. Why didn’t I think of this?”

I was worried that when we went out, someone might not see us and trample on us.

Of course, there’s a shield so it will block it. But then the person will miss and get hurt.

Such accidents could be prevented entirely, if only there were holograms.

There, Na-rin and Ji-hyeon nodded their heads. There is also a phrase that says that the battery drains more depending on the size of the phone, but it’s not like I’m going to turn this on and walk around all day.

It doesn’t take long to go to the convenience store, and if I go further than that, I won’t go alone. I’ll move with Narin.

So I immediately downloaded the hologram app and tried it out at home.

Please choose the hologram you want to output. You can output shapes supported by the app, or you can select the desired projection from the gallery or take a picture.

In simple terms, I took a picture of myself right away. Then I set the hologram size and pressed the projection button, and voila, a big me appeared on my phone.

“Wow, I grew up like my older sister!”

“Ahaha, I see. If you keep going like this, people won’t accidentally step on you.”

“Nam-in, big! big!”

Narin, who just smiles warmly and has fun, and Saekmu, who flaps her wings and plays.

Hamshik, who was playing alone, looked towards us at the noise, opened his mouth wide, and dropped the macadamia nuts he was holding in his hand.

Then, as I watched his head slightly move back and forth between my hologram and mine, it seemed as if he was wondering which one was real.

“The hamster is broken.”

Well, Hamshik is smart. He’ll figure out that I’m real and go do what he wants.

I think I’ve picked something that will be helpful enough. There’s one core left, but it doesn’t seem to be useful right now, so I think it’s okay to decide later.

But they say that when you stand, you want to sit down, and when you sit, you want to lie down. After choosing an app that would make me comfortable, I thought that I might be even more comfortable.

Not an app, but an object. Since it has a hologram, wouldn’t it be more convenient if we bought something to ride around in?

It’s convenient to ride a fat dog or a sack, but you can’t depend on them all the time.

So, we need a car. Of course, not a real car that people can drive around in, but a small car that we can ride in.

In my previous life, when I was little, I had a toy car that I could control with a remote control. What was it called?

“Ah, I found it!”

When I searched on an online shopping site, I found that those cars were listed at cheaper prices than I expected.

For ordinary people, a sports car that costs hundreds of millions of won and even requires insurance can be purchased for less than 100,000 won by us.

Driving is also simple. Just hold the controller in your hand and press the button in the direction you want to go.

“Ah, you can ride that when you go out? That sounds good. It’ll be about the same speed as a person walking, and other people will be able to see you well thanks to the hologram. Hmm, it’s a bit expensive, but… … If Na-min’s going to ride it, I can buy it for her.”

“No, it’s okay! I can live like this with the money I earn from my job.”

“Oh, really? Then do that.”

Maybe she wanted to buy her little brother a toy. Narin readily offered to buy me a radio-controlled car.

But I’m buying this to ride. I can’t ask Narin to buy it for me.

And when we were actually choosing what to ride, we thought that an off-road vehicle would be better than a low-slung sports car.

Rather than something that just bangs on the floor, something with big wheels would look cool and have better performance.

And if you watch the demonstration video, wow. It can run even if it flips over, and it can go up steep terrain well.

After all, men are off-road. Oh, I’m a woman now, but anyway.

After putting it in my shopping cart, I saw a related search term that said that it was a motorcycle that small pets could ride. It was even a motorcycle that Hamshik could control himself.

Since they were made by the same manufacturer, I was so taken aback by the statement that they would give me a discount if I bought them together.

“Are you going to buy hamburger too? Weren’t you going to ride together?”

“Oh my, I guess the god of wisdom has come and gone… … !”

I wonder if I’ve already become this extravagant after earning so much money. I need to be careful.
