BXBX NOVEL Chapter 35: Debra (2)
“…!”
Her face lit up with excitement.
"You said you are from an SF world, right?"
[A message from the Administrator has arrived.]-That\'s right.
"So what happened was...."
She continued to explain her situation.
Thinking she had already shown every shameful(?) aspect of herself, there was nothing to hide or feel embarrassed about.
"...At any rate, that\'s the situation."
The messages that had been coming in constantly suddenly stopped. She felt uneasy.
Is there nothing even the Oradge can do?
She tried her best to hide her disappointment.
Didn\'t she have low expectations anyway? She would have been happy to get some information about the Debran race or advice on Magitek.
Honestly, even if the Oradge\'s abilities were amazing, what big help could be received through the community?
The \'Dimensional Store\' didn\'t seem to sell advanced weapons or anything high-tech. Of course, the technology involved in the production might be excellent, but in the end, the products were mostly general household goods and food. Furthermore, items she wanted to occasionally research would be so damaged during disassembly that they were unrecognizable.
Of course, her VIP Grade was only 4 now, and she had heard that the Oradge was preparing a high-end store separately, but...
Was there any need to even see it? Wasn’t it obvious what it would be like?
Moreover, with the Oradge not responding in this situation, she felt even more uneasy.
What is going on? Why the sudden silence? Does he know something about that race? If so, why is he hesitating? Does that mean they’re that dangerous?
The Integrated Dimensional Community contained various worlds and there were many similar worlds. An interesting point was that several races commonly appeared across different worlds.
For example, orcs, elves, dwarves, and dragons.
So, in the Oradge\'s SF world, could there have been a race called Debra?
Whirrr- Rumblee-
To soothe her uneasy mind, she brought out the massage chair.
"I know you can hear me! I\'m ready, so just tell me!"
She seemed to want to put on a solemn expression, but she couldn\'t stop her face from relaxing due to the massage chair.
"Why! Why aren\'t you answering?!"
Ding-
-Huh? I went to eat LOL
"What?!"
No way. He\'s saying he went to eat while talking about something this important?!
"E-Eek!"
Her face turned red.
I-I was being so sincere, though!
But did she have any other choice? She was in a subordinate position, after all
In the end, she had to explain everything again from the beginning. Though her voice was sulky, she did not slack in her explanation.
"...So that\'s what happened. If you know anything about the Debran race, please tell me. I am prepared to hear it."
-Debra? What\'s that? hehe
“….”
She explained a few more times, wondering what kind of nonsense he was up to.
-Magitek and aliens? How interesting hehe
"I guess there\'s nothing even you can do... right?"
-Huh? Why am I coming up?
"Pardon?"
She felt that they were not on the same wavelength in this conversation.
"W-Well, I mean, even you...."
-Huh? Me?
"Yes. Even if it\'s you, there\'s nothing you can do about it. I understand. Especially if he’s someone from space like you. I’m sure you must be cautious."
She still remembered.
That terrifying Debran, that is.
His eyes filled with superiority as if nothing they did mattered.
Even when he pulled something against them, he instantly ended the situation as if he knew everything already.
He could drop a beam of light from the sky to burn the strongest mage and could eliminate any significant foe overnight, leaving them as corpses.
He was a being with incomprehensible power, immune to even magic.
She and the Crown Prince might have been found as corpses if they had dared to cross the line.
He could make a paralyzed person walk, cure all kinds of diseases, and even extend lifespans with his mysterious abilities.
If he had appeared a little earlier, it wouldn\'t have been out of place for him to be called God.
No, in fact, even in this era, calling him God would not be an exaggeration.
The more despairing fact was that he didn\'t even seem to be in a high position among the Debrans.
He talked as if he could grant anything once connected back to his race, but she didn\'t believe him.
Though he pretended to be noble, there was a subtle sense of incongruity that a true noble like her could sense.
His contemptuous gaze and superior expression were real, but his actions lacked \'dignity\' or \'class.\'
Well.... I guess in terms of dignity, the Oradge I\'m talking to now isn\'t much different.
Anyway, these facts made her despair. Doesn\'t this mean that even more terrifying Debrans could come?
Even if they successfully dealt with him, his homeland might launch a large-scale invasion someday.
At that moment, a sound broke her train of thought.
Ding-
-Someone from space like me?
-Ah HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA
She felt genuine enjoyment from the Oradge\'s message.
"What? Is he not?"
She tilted her head.
-HAHAHAHAHA nono it’s nothing. Keep talking LOL
“??”
Anyway, her plan was as follows.
Secretly hindering the construction of the structure he was building or at least preparing countermeasures against his magic nullification.
Currently, he was devoted to constructing a strange structure made entirely of machines. According to the Crown Prince, it seemed to be in its final stages.
But directly touching him could lead to significant problems if the Debran race came looking. After all, wars often start from small pretexts.
So, the plan was to delay the construction as much as possible and prepare to counter his magic nullification to defend against them if things went wrong.
"No magic worked on him.... It was truly terrifying."
She shivered, recalling how he endured countless magical bombardments unfazed.
-Really? That\'s kind of intriguing lol
She found the Oradge\'s carefree reaction strange but didn\'t dwell on it.
"So, I need your help. I can do anything you ask."
-Really? Can you say, \'I-I am…a third-rate who has been defeated by Sir Massage ChairrrRRRRRR!\' too? LMAOOO
"Wha, wha!! T-That\'s not what I meant!!"
Her face flushed red. As expected, the Oradge was never serious. Her cheeks puffed out in frustration.
-LOL
What is wrong with him?
I\'m being so serious here.
But strangely, she felt relieved rather than angry like before. Was it because the Oradge treated it as if it was nothing much?
However, the Oradge continued his harsh words.
-Head in the clouds, fr LOL
"Pardon? What does that mean?"
Head... in the clouds?
-I mean, don\'t you think that’s the case? Do you think the Debrans or Cobrans or whatever will let you be, just because you don’t go against that punk? Isn\'t it common sense to draw your sword first when you meet them?
Usually, that\'s... not what common sense is, right?
-Well, I guess any pretext can be made up. But inherently, the point is whether you\'re stronger or I\'m stronger. And if you want to go more in-depth, it’s a matter of who gets more damage.
That... seems a bit extreme, though....
"...It\'s regarding the fate of the continent. Such actions could hasten the invasion."
-Are you sure that attitude is good enough?
"Pardon?"
-If you\'re going to fight anyway, you might as well eradicate them LMAO
She shuddered slightly. The Oradge\'s message almost seemed to smell of blood.
"That, that...."
Wasn’t that too reckless?
And it was way too out of line.
That was what she thought.
-Showing you\'re batshit insane is usually a great negotiation tactic.
There were many illogical and strange parts in his claims, but... how should she put it?
A strange sense of satisfaction, as if he scratched an itch, cascaded over her
Was it perhaps the conviction or confidence in the Oradge\'s tone?
Though baseless, she felt a rising sense of elation that following his words would surely lead to success.
-Well then! First!
"F-First?!"
-Let\'s buy this. I\'ll give you this special deal, just for you.
"Pardon?"
-Ah, what are you doing, just sitting there? It\'s a great opportunity to buy it for only 70 million points!
But... 70 million points is my entire fortune?
Finally, the following message was displayed to everyone using the community.
