A Guide for Mortals Traveling in Parallel Worlds (4)

When Evan returned home with a full look on his face, there was already a group of women waiting for him who had returned from their short tour. Maybell greeted him with some fresh waffles.

Whats wrong with your expression, Master?

No, its nothingis it good?

Would you like some?

Evan bit into the waffle that Maybell had given him. A dense sweetness spread through his mouth, forcing him to breathe life. Yeah, it was no use worrying in advance. Moreover, no one could guarantee that it would happen for sureso he decided to forget about it for now.

Isnt it good? Isnt it good? Its more delicious because I fed it to you.

Yes, thank you.

Hehe.

Evan stroked Maybells head roughly and sat down. On the other side, Fayna stuck out the juice she had bought from outside.

[The civilization of the world is truly mysterious. Is this how advanced the world you used to live in is?]

I dont think so. Its not that we cant use artifacts if were forced to follow them, but scientific and technological civilizations and Magic civilizations are fundamentally impossible to combine.

Evan had been agonizing over the issue since he made the previous vending machine. His conclusion, however, was that it is okay to copy the form in part, but more than that, it was dangerous to introduce the principles of technology. The superiority between the two civilizations was indistinguishable, and each had its value. Violating each others territory recklessly would have bad consequences.

I want to live herethere are so many delicious things.

Theres a lot of delicious food there, too.

Cattleya must have had a really good time out there, but there were dozens of photos posted on the Internet of Cattleya eating different foods. Evan poked her as she rubbed her slim tummy and breathed out a satisfied sigh.

Have you figured out the world?

Yes, I think its a very rude world. They filmed whatever they wanted and shared stories about us.

How did you know that?

I caught one and read their thoughts. But were safe because I erased the memories of our contact, right?

No, youre not. Theres a lot of eyes in this world.

Evan put a search engine on the monitor screen with the words. Evan and his party were still occupying popular search terms. Even if you pressed any of them, the screen was plastered with pictures of the group. Maybell also looked fed up watching it.

Wow, I didnt expect this much.

[This is the Internet. Somehow intense interest springs up.]

Be careful; its dangerous to fall in. It makes people bizarre.

Whaaaa, theres a lot of pictures of myself

Countless pictures. There were some pictures of the moment when they were recognized, and some of them wondered how they even took such a thing. Thanks to this, Maybell realized that this world was a difficult world to commit a crime in.

Why did they film us so much?

Its because youre so pretty. You guys are like an art piece that plastic surgery and makeup cant keep up with.

Modern times were dominated by artificial beauty. A beautiful angel and two demons who transcended human beings appeared in such a world, so it was natural to get this much attention. Perhaps sooner or later, an entertainment official would visit them and give them a business card.

Master, I just misheard you. Could you repeat that?

Maybell, youre revealing too much with your intentions.

The more the Master says Im pretty, the prettier I become.

Maybell looked through the screen whilst making a confident excuse. Her eyes sparkled as she saw a clear picture of Evans beauty flooding the net.

I cant believe they can copy your beauty so closeI want to take this camera.

Thats fine.

Evan was determined to take a bunch of game consoles back. Anyway, as long as the technology didnt spread outside, it was fine. It was his innermost thoughts that he wanted to secure enough to enjoy himself.

Then were starting to act now. Maybell, use this computer to get as many recipes as you can. You know how to use this, dont you?

Of course, I want to get some ingredients that arent in our world.

Do it. Ill pack the rest of the stuff. What about Cattleya and Fayna? Is there anything else you want to do?

Oh, yeah, there isnt

Cattleya, who ate a lot outside and was full, rolled up and closed her eyes. She looked much like a cat when she acted like that, and that image only grew when he saw Meow-one and Meow-two lying in the same position next to her.

[I care that the land in this world is lifeless. If you dont mind, Id like to use my powers to revive the dead land.]

Oh, thats a good idea. Please dont overdo it.

[While Im at it, the doctrine of the Great Mother Earth]

Not that.

That was how the groups full-fledged break began.

Maybell skillfully used the Internet to gather all the recipes and rare ingredients in the world. Fayna began to breathe life into the asphalt-covered dead land, perhaps with a sense of mission as an apostle of the Great Mother Earth. Cattleya ordered Evan around whenever it was time to eat foods.

Evan sold a little gold from his inventory pocket of game consoles and other modern devices, and perused all of the Yo-Ma Great War settings from the Yo-Ma Great War Development Company whenever he had time.

It would be great to have this in my past life.

Past life. You have memories of this place, right?

Youve noticed, havent you?

Maybell, who was playing on the Internet, soon discovered a game called Yo-Ma Great War in this world. For her, who remembered Evans childhood, she could naturally realize that Evan was aware of it early on.

I thought you were too familiar with this strange world.

Are you disappointed?

No, Master, Im glad to know your secret. Even Belois doesnt know yet.

Maybell seemed genuinely pleased. Evan decided not to ask where her infinite affection and obsession sprang from.

But apart from that, I hate the game. I looked into it, and there were a few endings where the Master was stabbed to death by me.

Yeah, but my Maybell isnt like that.

Its kind of scary if you say it like that.

Since the first day, no one had been able to go out without getting attention as new photos of the XX-dong elves had been uploaded. But rumors grew more and more, and the photographs that had already been taken became more popular as evidence.

-Who are these people?-

-Dont they look like the characters in the game, bring them to the entertainment industry quickly?-

-My boyfriend, and so on, mentioned it hundreds or thousands of times a day.

Based on the fact that Evans and Maybells pictures were taken on the same day, the absolute majority speculated that they had come from the same party. Eventually, a fan cafe was created, and a series of trends was formed, calling them The 4 XX-dong Angels. That was why Evan vowed never to expose his face outside again. It wasnt until about a week later that he declared the end of the break.

Youve enjoyed everything, havent you? Lets get going.

I want to stay a little longer.

Ill take the massage chair and let you use it again, so dont be silly.

Cattleya was in charge of the massage chair.

[Were back.]

Fayna also came back from her work. She looked very proud.

[I went all the way to Africa. Theres also still hope in the lands that humans havent invaded.]

Ive come to a valuable realization

I think Ive got everything I need. Then lets get going.

Maybell also seemed pleased with what she got from Earth. Evan swept everything in his inventory pocket and finally searched Yeo Ban-Mins room one last time.

Then lets get back to work.

Im going to miss this.

Evan reached out and formed a door in the air that connected two dimensions. Only Cattleya looked back with a lingering face until the end, but eventually, she took Evans hand and jumped into the portal. Thus, the 4 XX-dong Angels left the Earth, but many people hadnt forgotten them and consistently mentioned them.

And not long after that, the new Yo-Ma Great War series was announced.

* * *

After the break on Earth, Evan and his party were busy. There was a world where the grass was miraculously created to absorb magic in an environment that had less magic than Earth, and after absorbing all the magic in the world, it was reborn as a pool of purity. There was also a world where all the evil was isolated due to hundreds of years of magic that forced all beings to become good, and all evil was condensed and built at a concentration much thicker than the Demon Realm.

Meanwhile, the place where Gods Holy Water was found was much more heavily covered in magic than in any other world. Surprisingly, that world had become a place where all beings have been deified because they are so magic-dense, and everything survived for an extremely long time and polished itself. Evans abilities were, of course, overwhelming in those worlds. After stepping on all the gods who tried to subordinate him or kill him and use him as manure for his divine nature, he united their power to create the Holy Water.

Would you like to explore here for a while?

[Evan, if youd stop doing what youre doing, Id seriously consider it.]

Evan was sucking up all the worlds unique energy that deified all beings with magic storage jewels created by alchemy.

Okay, then give up now. Ill analyze it and write a complete paper on divinity and show you.

[Maybe its impossible, but Ill be waiting without much expectation.]

So, whats left?

Evan checked his collection so far and squinted.

Weve got it all.

Uhso now we just have to find a way back to Sherden?

I know how to do that, too.

On Earth. As soon as he absorbed the fragment left behind from the developer, he had a rough idea. And traveling around a few more times had gained him the confidence to pull it off. What he gained was the power to track his fragments

He could track the fragments that remained in Sherden.

And now

Maybell put her hands together as Evan nodded.

Lets go back.
