Nigotta Hitomi no Lilianne-Chapter 198.2
Chapter 198.2
Nostalgic Feelings and Flotsam
Ten minutes on the road later .
Even though Mira was trembling completely silently in fear, Scarlet and I were filled with nostalgia .
After all, it has been six years since I last 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 places 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 nonchalant explanation, Scarlet and I exchanged glances .
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 this comes 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 relatively familiar event to Scarlet who passed away later than me .
One of the incidents happened in the area where Scarlet lived .
Moreover, that area is said to be the place where the first disappearance incident occurred .
The first thing that disappeared was a large radio tower .
By the time I died, there were taller buildings than this radio tower, but it still was an extremely popular 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 slanted 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 .
According to the data from the surroundings, the fairy town is nowhere in sight just yet .
There seems to be more time to think .
