​

-And maybe I will be able to sense that it is the inner energy that my master is using.

​

Well then. I guess this was the main point.

​

‘For some reason, he’s already shown interest in naegong.’

​

Was he so upset that there was energy that nanobots, which could be said to be the pinnacle of Elysion’s technological prowess, could not detect?

​

“Well, it is energy from another world to begin with, so is that possible?”

​

-There’s no reason why you can’t! Just like emulating a program on a device with a different operating system, it seems quite possible if the owner’s body, which can feel internal energy, helps with calculations!

​

Maria said angrily at my grumpy reaction.

​

-Perhaps, instead of just feeling the inner energy, I can also handle the inner energy like my master? Then, even if the owner gets electrocuted or is exposed to an EMP without preparation, the nanobot will be able to withstand it.

​

“Hmm… Definitely.”

​

Maria’s argument made sense.

​

For the time being, I had no intention of visiting a travel destination set in the future, but you never know when and what you might get caught up in.

​

Even in the case of electric shock that Maria mentioned, there was no need to go to a fantasy world and be hit by lightning magic; it happened often in real life.

​

‘I wasn’t stabbed, but I was hit with a Taser once.’

​

I thought it would be convenient if such cases could be prevented.

​

‘But it’s already registered as my souvenir. Can it be completely destroyed?’

​

I suddenly had that question, but I didn’t really want to test it.

​

Taking Simbeop as an example, if the dantian is destroyed, there is no way it can be used properly even if the Changgung Daeyeonsingong is registered in the souvenir.

​

Even if you sustain such an injury while traveling, it will be completely healed when you return to reality, but if something like that happens in real life, you may be permanently unable to use the souvenir. Likewise, if the nanobot is excessively damaged in an unexpected accident, Maria may disappear.

​

“I think it would be convenient if that was guaranteed… After all, it’s not certain, right?”

​

-It is a matter of hope.

​

“Hmm… ”

​

Although they said it was a remodeling, I didn’t feel much resistance because they said there were no changes I could feel.

​

I have already been injecting drugs into my body since I first gained this ability. This means that abilities obtained for free are always welcome.

​

And if my prediction was correct, it was clear that the changes in the body would be registered as a souvenir separate from the nanobots, just like the awakening of a supernatural ability after being injected with Telos.

​

In that case, if you felt something wrong with your body, all you had to do was not officially register it in the souvenir list in real life.

​

“Okay, try it.”

​

He said he was thinking about ways to improve his performance, and there was no reason for me to stop him from doing so. Some say I just need to stay still and Maria will take care of everything.

​

As I said last time, I didn’t think it would harm me since it was registered as a souvenir. It was just that since Maria was a being with a will, it seemed right to think about what if.

​

‘But I don’t know if this will work.’

​

However, even though I gave permission to Maria, I did not have much hope that she would be able to sense my strength.

​

It’s okay if it happens, but it can’t be helped if it doesn’t. That was exactly what I expected.

​

‘I’ll just have to be satisfied with the nanobot’s increased functionality.’

​

-Then I will be temporarily disabled while the update is being performed.

​

“How long do you think it will take?”

​

-The estimated time is about 5 hours.

​

“Yes. Let’s get started.”

​

I decided to visit Blair while Maria was asleep.

​

Blair was waiting for me at her house, as always.

​

What’s different from before is that Detective Branco is next to him.

​

“Blair. Detective Branco.”

​

“… … .”

​

“Nice to meet you. I never thought I would see you again like this.”

​

“Are you waiting for me?”

​

“I wanted to see who the informant Blair was talking about was.”

​

Detective Branco took a sip from the flask he took out from his pocket. Judging by the faint smell of alcohol, it seemed as though it might have been whiskey.

​

Although it was a limited space called a plaza, it seemed like they were quite stressed after fighting something similar to a small war.

​

I glanced at Blair, who was watching our conversation from the side, and said,

​

“Is one look all it takes?”

​

“That’s not it… ”

​

After a brief pause, Detective Branco looked straight at me and asked.

​

“Do you know where the remnants of Awaken have disappeared to?”

​

“I don’t know about that. Because I can’t get a signal anymore. Perhaps it was eventually disbanded due to military checks?”

​

I lied without even putting saliva on my mouth. Awaken was sitting quietly in my inventory, almost intact.

​

“Okay… That would be nice.”

​

Gulp~

​

“What do you plan to do from now on? According to the regulations, the artificial intelligence would have to be returned to a government facility and tested.”

​

Detective Branco asked a question after taking another sip of his drink. I lightly shrugged my shoulders.

​

“Honestly, I don’t want to do that. I probably haven’t registered the product anyway, so why not just go?”

​

“Well… Blair, what do you think?”

​

“Ugh, huh!? Me?”

​

Blair, who was suddenly asked a question, flinched and jumped.

​

She answered slowly, looking at me and Detective Branco.

​

“Umm… Minho did not agree with Awaken’s ideology from the beginning… Also, he gave us a lot of useful information… Going to a government facility and leaving it to be disposed of is a little… ”

​

Detective Branco snorted slightly and nodded.

​

“Really? Then you take responsibility for managing it.”

​

“… … !”

​

“Instead, if a problem arises, I will dispose of that guy myself.”

​

“That won’t happen.”

​

“Watch and you will find out.”

​

Detective Branco left Blair’s house with only those words.

​

To be honest, Detective Branco must have lost several of his subordinates in the battle in the square, but I was surprised to see that he seemed to be able to maintain his composure better than I thought.

​

Usually, in cases like this, it’s a cliché to hate Android.

​

Anyway, I was fortunate that Detective Branco, a middle-aged man, didn’t bother me.

​

I looked back at Blair, who had suddenly found herself in the position of having to hide an android like a landlord hiding Jews from German soldiers.

​

She stiffened at the sudden situation where they were alone. You probably didn’t know that Detective Branco would disappear so coolly.

​

“Then, shall we watch TV and take a break?”

​

“Uh, huh? okay… ”

​

No matter how many times you go, you have to enjoy everything. I put my arm around Blair’s shoulders and led her to the couch.

​

​

​

​

[The ‘New Kind’ trip provided by Dimensional Travel Express Ticket has ended.]

​

[The avatars of the ‘New Kind’ world are separated.]

​

[Time in that world is now in sync with the tester’s reality.]

​

[The guidebook can no longer be used in that world.]

​

[Settlement of travel compensation.]

​

[Basic reward: 2000 mileage]

​

[Achievements achieved: Android camouflage, hiding a murderer, terrorist attack on a production facility, double agent, massacre, underworld, anthropocentric, leader, incarnation of greed, pinnacle of science and technology, one-man army, … ]

​

[Additional Achievement: [Telos – Ignis] Baggage Registration]

​

[Final reward: 28000 mileage]

​

[Final evaluation: In the story, he committed more killings than anyone else, but at the same time, compared to the sacrifice that would have occurred originally, it was a premature death. Are you a murderer or a hero as you take on the responsibility of killing yourself? At least he will be a hero to those who should have lost their lives in the first place. Thanks to the tester’s choice, the travel destination has now become a world of humans, by humans, and for humans. There are no longer any seeds of possibility that might have led to new species. What will the future of travel destinations look like?]

​

​

‘In a way, this is the world people live in.’

​

This is the final evaluation window I’ve seen in a long time.

​

While I was taking a break from my relationship with Blair, I was suddenly jerked back to reality like before. I guess I should say I’m glad I wasn’t kicked out during the relationship.

​

I could probably go back in here if I wanted to, but I didn’t really have any intention of doing that.

​

Because I got everything I aimed for in that world. Rather, the results were greater than expected.

​

I looked at the final reward of the New Kind world and thought:

​

‘The reward mileage is significantly higher than the number of achievements… Is this because of the luggage?’

​

It seemed that additional points were given to the achievement score as restrictions were imposed.

​

I was concerned that my mileage consumption was increasing, but if I could replenish it in this way, I wouldn’t have to worry about my growth stopping.

​

‘Let’s see, then the mileage I have now… ‘

​

Expand your inventory and add 28,000 miles to the remaining 8,400 miles.

​

A whopping 36,400 mileage.

​

In terms of simple possession, it was the largest number so far.
