The Ultimate Support Character-Chapter 499 Exploration (1)
Since we had a day before truly exploring the high-end Waste Disposal Site that was known as Atlantis to the Earthlings, I used that time to accompany my mother.
Naturally, some of the girls went with me, especially those who were not that scared of her.
Right. Some were somehow scared of her because of how easily she could nag at me and I couldn't find words of rebuttal.
It's not pure fright but they're afraid that she would also nag at them and they wouldn't be able to say something in fear of getting on her bad side.
I already told my mother about everything about me and how the world would change from now. As for my father's identity as someone who has lived for perhaps a millennium and someone even stronger than me currently, I'd leave it to him to break that news to her.
"Mom, we'll be off."
After spending the night here in the house the sly old man gave to them that was near the Academy, we're now all geared up to go to the exploration.
The night was kind of chaotic since the room my mother set aside for me was somewhat small that not everyone could sleep on the same bed as me.
Apart from the two who would accompany me, the other free spaces where they could lie down were decided via another competition.
Competition using playing cards.
And because it was a game that relies on reading someone, luck and prediction, Yuko won effortlessly.
However, when my mother heard about why they were playing cards, I got another earful and just told us to use a bigger bed so that everyone who came with us could sleep comfortably.
And due to that, the girls all joyfully called her 'mother' filled with affection. And that's even if some of them were supposed to be older than her, physically.
Well, we didn't talk about their age anyway. If my mother found out that Fleur and Irja were already more than a hundred years old, how would she take that fact?
"Daisuke. Must you take them to those dangerous places you mentioned? Why not settle here? And if you really want to live with all of them then let's get you a house."
My mother asked as she looked on worriedly at everyone. Our strength might be somewhat foreign to her, however, she knew that our destination wasn't anything normal. And that danger could possibly befall any of them.
"I must, mom. I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry too, mother. It's truly impossible for us to stop. Dai-kun, he… he will not let any of us down."
As someone who had already established her position in my mother's mind even way before all this, Yuko grabbed her hand and apologized.
"I get that but you girls. You're also strong, right? Nag at him for me if he ever neglected you. I'll be expecting all of you to come back here before that plan you told me about leaving the Earth. I'll call your father back so we can send you off. Haa… That man is going places."
Although with a slight irritation when she mentioned my father, my mother, Keiko expressed her sincere concern about us. And clearly feeling that, everyone had a smile on their lips
"Un. Leave it to us, mother. This monster, err… Daisuke will receive it from us if he ever does that." Erin also stepped forward. Although she's kind of rough with how she moves, my mother actually instantly guessed that the girl lived a hard life, hence her slightly wild attitude.
After Erin, Avelin, Reinys, Elise, Fleur, Irja, Yumiko, Nysia and Leianne copied the first two, reassuring my concerned mother that we would all come back with everyone.

After leaving with the girls who came with me, we then picked up the others who remained at the island before opening another portal to the gathering place of the Heroes and Transcendents that would come with us.
At the moment, I was standing in front of them and was giving the background of the place we were going to explore.
The high-end Waste Disposal Site. It was actually called the Central Revitalizing Factory that was created to recycle outdated or defective technologies.
The one who ordered for it to be made was the strongest Family of this Central Region or the former Noble House situated in this region of the former Earth.
They were hoping to actually go back and become another one of the strongest Noble Houses on Earth again. However, they always failed spectacularly.
"Everyone, the place we were going to explore is considered dangerous even to a Sage or someone Beyond Transcendent. But that is if it's in full operation." pan(da-n0vel.c)om
This time, to shorten the time of explaining to them, I prepared a presentation. Of course, not using my Energy Molding capabilities but an actual presentation created from a physical computer and then used a projector to show it to them.
The Atlantis, let's also just call it that, contained several sections, all of which were filled with the Mechanical Robots or Automatons that were guarding the data that was possibly stored by the brightest minds of that former Noble House.
They were actually holding the junk of the other four regions to study it and create something that would help them rise up from the ashes and become the Yellow Dragon that was revered by everyone.
Those data would be used by the EDA to develop the future technological height of the Earth. And whatever we would be able to find her would also contribute to that.
Once all the other Waste Disposal Sites were explored then that would accelerate the progress of the Earth. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖
I would leave the job for that to the Heroes and other Transcendents who would be left behind here on Earth.
Giving these Heroes and Transcendents the task to get the data from the terminals and plunder whatever technology they could find, their exploration would at least be meaningful.
Naturally, I also gave them a warning not to carelessly use those technologies or devices they would be able to find lest they find themselves in an accident.
"As I said, there's still a chance for any of you to face a life or death situation inside. If you're not prepared for that, you can sit this one out."
Ending my presentation like that, none of them really backed down.
The Heroes that were headed by Raiden already divided themselves into a group of three.
And since the Transcendents who came with us from the Mortal Worlds were mostly my Companions, those who aren't, like Ezyn, Yse and the others from the Spirit World also let themselves be integrated with those cheat-user Heroes.
As for those new Transcendents from the EDA, only a handful of them would join the exploration so instead of making their own teams they also put their names with the heroes who were a generation younger than them.
As for my Companions, they also grouped themselves by three. Excluding the two with me and the two that were still in their own world, one of them ended up becoming the excess.
"Uh. It's fine, master. I will be joining our classmates."
Seeing that she's the latest among my Companions, Hikari volunteered herself to be excluded.
Well, she already told me about that yesterday but that was through our mental communication using the crystal.
"Alright. Remember not to overexert yourself when using your Copied Skills from me."
"I understand. I will exercise restraint and learn from what I saw from you." Hikari nodded and before she went over to the group she joined in, she asked for a hug.
When I agreed to that, it set a precedent for the other girls who wouldn't be going with me.
After a few minutes of hugging and kissing my Companions who followed Hikari's example, we're finally going to Atlantis.
As I opened the Portal towards it, I contacted the World's Will to open the place and activate the restriction that we agreed on.
This exploration was the last thing we will be doing on Earth and… well, I expect this to be the place that would thoroughly build experience, not only to my Companions but also to the Heroes and Transcendents who would be facing more enemies in the future here on Earth.
"Are you two ready?" 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om
As we watched the teams going in one by one, I turned my head to the two women clad in red robes beside me.
"Un. More than ready." Elise with Flamebird perched atop her shoulder answered enthusiastically.
And agreeing to her, Reinys nodded her head while grasping her staff tightly.
As soon as the last group entered, I brought the two and stood before a Teleportation Formation that was being used as the entrance to the Waste Disposal Site.
Looking up, the towering aquamarine-colored buildings looked grand and stylish but inside those buildings were the non-forgiving robots and automatons that were now activated and set to protect whatever was inside.
