Chapter 198.2


    <strong>Nostalgic Feelings and Flotsam</strong>


    Ten minutes on the roadter .


    Even though Mira was tremblingpletely silently in fear, Scarlet and I were filled with nostalgia .


    After all, it has been six years since Ist saw a car, and it has been twenty years for Scarlet .


    Well, the scenery outside was forest on both sides and didn’t change whatsoever, though .


    By the way, there were no problems with the drawing speed of the Contact Lenses at about 30 km/h .


    Reki-kun’s movement speed can sometimes even exceed the 100 km/h mark .


    The Contact Lenses were made with that in mind, so there’s no chance of the drawing speed dropping at this level .


    However, since it was only possible to test its performance at certain ces of the mansion, it seems that moving through an unknown area at above-average speeds causes a little burden on the data collection of the surrounding environment .


    Let’s try to improve this aspect when we have free time . Although it would be meaningless once we return to the mansion .


    Over there, it’s unlikely that we would be moving through unknown areas at high speeds . I wonder if there would be an opportunity to even take a step into an unknown area to begin with .


    It’s possible to collect data in a winder range by expanding the scope of the Contact Lenses . There’s a condition that you have to be nearly staying still, though .


    “T, that’s... Lily Ojousama . ”


    “Nu?”


    While thinking about Contact Lenses improvements, Scarlet called out to me in surprise .


    When I turned towards the direction she was facing, the scope of data collection temporarily narrowed down to the surrounding range .


    “... Eh?”


    When the Contact Lenses drew a magnified picture from the obtained data for me, I let out a voice of surprise just like Scarlet .


    Still, my expression didn’t change, which was most likely the result of my years-long sleeping mimetic muscles . No, I don’t think that’s a good thing .


    “Hm? Oh, that’s a flotsam, Scarlet . ”


    “Flotsam, you said?”


    “Yep, flotsam . ”


    “Kuti, what’s flotsam?”


    “N~... they are thingies that suddenly appear from who knows where . There are some useful items among them, but most of them are unusable . Ah, this car too . There are quite a lot of things like this, but the majority is broken and they can even explode sometimes, so it’s dangerous to approach them~”


    Hearing Kuti’s nonchnt exnation, Scarlet and I exchanged nces .


    Because who would have thought that the car just “Suddenly appeared . ”


    And one conjecture began to take a shape within our minds .


    “Ojousama, do you recall the disappearance incident that I spoke to you about before?”


    “Of course, rather... that’s exactly what this is, no?”


    “Yes . If so, then thises from the very first disappearance incident... the radio tower . ”


    The disappearance incident .


    There were apparently frequent cases of the sudden disappearance of objects all around the world during my past life .


    The reason I say “apparently” is because I happened to be already dead by that time .


    Additionally, it appears to be a rtively familiar event to Scarlet who passed awayter than me .


    One of the incidents happened in the area where Scarlet lived .


    Moreover, that area is said to be the ce where the first disappearance incident urred .


    The first thing that disappeared was arge radio tower .


    By the time I died, there were taller buildings than this radio tower, but it still was an extremely popr sightseeing spot .


    That very tower was now projected on the Contact Lenses .


    I can’t, unfortunately, see the characteristic white-red coloring, but it’s still hard to forget the distinctive shape that is so familiar to me . (Tokyo Tower)


    The radio tower projected on my Contact Lenses was nted to the side, and only half of it stood above the forest .


    I confirmed where the observation floor was located .


    When the data collection was finished and I took a look at the virtual drawing, I saw that the observation floor was severely deteriorated .


    I also caught sight of a site of what seemed to be an explosion .


    Just what happened here...


    “Scarlet, I transmitted the collected data to the Kutipad, so take a look . ”


    “Yes, Ojousama . Thank you very much . ”


    The 3D drawing virtually constructed from the data I obtained can be viewed on the Kutipad .


    Rather than thinking alone, you can hear more opinions by sharing the data with others, and that’s why we have established the Kutipad sharing at its early stages .


    ording to the data from the surroundings, the fairy town is nowhere in sight just yet .


    There seems to be more time to think .
