Wow!
“Oh… ”
Janey exclaimed and looked around at the stream of water surrounding her body. The water stored in the inventory was heated using this ability, and controlled through the supermanufacturer.
As I gestured with my hand holding the Chosoo Dongbaekjang, the moving stream of water washed away Janey’s body in an instant.
Janey, who had dried off any moisture with the wind she created herself, pointed to the Chosoo Dongbaek sheet I was holding and asked.
“Did you get this from another world?”
“That’s right. It’s a world of the martial arts genre set in the East… I don’t know if there is an East here too. Because all I know is the Kingdom of Halem. Anyway, it’s a wand that controls the water I got there.”
“It’s fascinating. Can I use it too?”
“Unfortunately, this can only be used if you have the power of internal energy. I’ll teach you later when I get a chance.”
“The power of another world… I’m looking forward to it.”
Janey put on the clothes I gave her. He was dressed like a modern man, wearing a shirt and pants and a thin jacket on top. Although the blue hair and eyes are a bit noticeable.
I took the Awaken crew out of my inventory and had them pick up some wood that could be used as firewood. Since there were trees all around, a considerable amount of firewood was created in an instant. The firewood brought by the crew was turned into dry firewood using this ability to instantly create a bonfire.
And Janey and I ate with food taken from our inventory. The menu is Mushroom Hotpot, which will fill your stomach. In reality, it was packaged food from a good restaurant near my house, and it was hot as if it had just been made because it was put directly into the inventory.
It was a food chosen to boost Janey’s energy after a hard time.
Janey looked awkwardly at the crew going in and out of the inventory whenever necessary, but when she started eating the hotpot, she focused only on the food.
We unfolded the folding table and chairs, sat facing each other, and continued eating in silence for a while.
Although the sun was still up, this place was in a forest surrounded by trees. In a place like that, with a bonfire lit next to me and eating food that warmed my insides, I felt like I was camping.
‘Camping in an apocalyptic world… Is this a very extravagant situation?’
“It’s delicious. What food is this? The soup provided at camp was very thin, but after eating this, I felt relieved.”
“It’s called mushroom hotpot. It’s a real food, made with various mushrooms, vegetables, and meat as the main ingredients. … And I’m sorry for not coming sooner.”
“No. Even though I told him to just go… Still, I was glad Minho came.”
After finishing our meal, we ordered the crew to bury the trash around us and sat looking at the bonfire.
After washing my body thoroughly and filling my stomach, I felt like I was in perfect condition to have a drink. I took out a bottle of beer, opened the cap, and lightly toasted Janey.
I sipped my beer, took out an iron sword I was using, pointed it at the bonfire, and said.
“Did you hear anything unusual while staying at the camp? Something I should know.”
Now, tomorrow, I will return to reality, search for a suitable travel destination, obtain the souvenirs I aimed for, and return to Fallen Kingdom Aka to take out Janey.
Then there would probably be no need to visit Ruined Aka like New Kind, but before that, I planned to sweep up everything I could find in this world one last time.
Janey seemed to be thinking deeply about my question, and then let out an exclamation.
“Well… ah! I think there is one.”
“What is that?”
“Do you remember the dean of our academy?”
“Dean?”
Now that I think about it, there was a person like that. The academy was originally an institution similar to a military academy that trained agents. Maybe that’s why, although my memory is vague, the dean seemed to be closer to a soldier than an ordinary school principal.
“The man who always had a solemn mood?”
“That’s right, Albert Graham. He was the dean of the academy and the first generation agent.”
“But why that person?”
I tilted my head, wondering why Janey suddenly brought up a story about someone I had forgotten. She quenched her thirst with the beer I handed her and started talking.
“Most agents fled to other countries after escaping from the influence of EDP-427. Minho knows up to this point, right?”
“Um.”
“A few agents who still had patriotism came forward to deal with the mutants as if pushed by the people of the Kingdom of Halem… Even though the agent has awakened his supernatural ability, he does not have the ability to deal with all the angry crowds with guns and blades.”
“Yes. Because it was an organization that could not properly eradicate the rebels.”
“Among the people who were exposed to the biochemical gas at the Moralis Research Institute, all those who did not awaken their abilities became mutants, right? There is no way that a small number of agents could handle such a huge number.”
Most of the surviving agents had escaped to other kingdoms.
“It seems that most of the agents who were mistreated in the process of resisting the mutant crisis died, and those who belatedly entered other countries as refugees were subjected to biological experiments.”
“That means… Even the dean?”
Janey shook her head.
“No. The dean was quite the opposite. It seems like he disappeared from the kingdom faster than anyone else before a large-scale refugee crisis occurred.”
“Really? It’s a little surprising. I felt like a complete soldier, so I thought I would share my destiny with the kingdom until the end.”
“I also heard this, but it seems that the countries nearby the Kingdom of Halem promised good treatment to the agents at first. But later, I changed my attitude when I realized that they were refugees who had nowhere to go anyway.”
“It may be an attractive force for other countries. So the dean fell for good terms?”
“I think so. And although the dean’s name wasn’t mentioned, there was something I heard from a refugee who was separated from his family while trying to go to the Kingdom of Achanta. There’s a high-ranking agent in the Kingdom of Halem leading a group, and that’s why he’s worried about his family.”
“Why? The more agents there are, the safer it is.”
“Because it was the agents who oppressed those people before the mutants.”
“That… That’s right.”
However, the man wasn’t particularly interested, so he was just about to ignore it. Something suddenly occurred to me, so I asked Janey.
“Telos medicine remaining in the academy. Does the dean want to have it?”
“Maybe so? Since he left the kingdom before anyone else, he must have taken all the valuable things he could get from the academy and disappeared.”
“Oh… ”
Then the story is different. Telos, a drug that allows you to awaken random abilities, like superpowers.
Janey and I had already been injected with the medicine and had awakened our abilities, but that did not make the medicine any less valuable.
If there is someone who wants to awaken their special ability at any time, it can be used. Rather, its value could have been seen to have increased since the Moralis Research Institute was no longer able to function properly.
Perhaps the Dean’s Telos may be the last remaining quantity in the world.
“Do you know where it is?”
“Yes, I heard it’s the Danube border area. It is located in the outermost part of the Achanta Kingdom.”
‘It’s the Danube border area… ‘
Listening to the name, it seemed to be the outermost area, a dangerous area bordering the Kingdom of Halem. It appears that he is not being treated very well for someone who abandoned the country he served his entire life.
Perhaps, if he had given the Telos he carried to the Kingdom of Achanta, he would have been treated better than if he had stayed in the border area, so he would still be saving the card.
Once Janey’s problem is resolved, there is a place to visit.
I thought I might be able to gain income that I never thought possible.
We sipped beer and talked to each other for a while.
When Janey was at the camp, after hearing about the volunteer who gossiped about her, she wondered if she should have just let the giant mutant live and completely ruin the camp.
On the other hand, Janey was curious and asked me various questions about the various worlds I had been through.
Even if I were in her position, there would be many things I would want to know if there was another world, a world where the product of imagination called a work of art was realized. Even if the world we live in is one of those places.
So naturally, I started talking about the women I met in that world.
I didn’t say anything to Janey other than that they were colleagues, but she seemed to vaguely sense the existence of my lovers in another world.
This could be seen through her behavior while resting in the car out of consideration for Janey, who must have been very injured after spending a long time at the camp.
“… … .”
Janey climbed on top of me, who was lying on the seat, with her head down.
