Chapter 294 – Worry (1)
# # #
I sat there blankly for a while, then slowly regained my senses.
My body seems to want nutrients, so once I fill my stomach first, my mind, which has been dazed from sucking semen since morning, gradually clears up.
After a satisfying meal, I washed the dishes and remembered what I had to do today.
First of all, as Grape said on his way to work, you have to go get a payment card.
Grape gave me a card, but this is the card I was given to use when I was in a hurry.
For some reason, I get the feeling that Grape will pay me even if I don’t have to make a card, but I have to have my own card.
A city resident ID card is well stored in the vision phone… There is no need to rush to reissue.
Today, all you have to do is get a payment card and return home.
It’s a relaxing day.
After washing the dishes and wiping my hands, I went to the shower and took a shower.
After that, I chose what to wear from among the clothes Grape had bought me, put it on, and walked around the house.
You said you have a bike, but where is it?
After opening several doors at once, I found a place that looked like a garage next door from the front door, and found a bike that was wiped clean.
The long body on the large wheel, the sharp and pointed front and rear, and the curved center form are impressive.
It’s also a model given to a magical girl, and it’s appearance makes me think that it’s probably a sports bike that can achieve tremendous speed.
After putting on the helmet Grape seems to have prepared, insert the combination key over the groove in the center of the handle.
When the button in the center of the firmly fixed key is pressed, the display turns on.
Check bike status, check location information, activate automatic driving mode… After various letters come to mind, a notification window linked to the vision phone appears.
I sat on the vibrating bike, linked the bike to the vision phone, and turned on the navigation.
When you touch the community center in District 15, the location you want to go to, a map and a speedometer appear on the bike display.
With the vision phone in my pocket, I opened the garage door with my card key and slowly left the house.
“Oh oh…”
It’s my first time riding a bike.
The moment Negative’s dimension door opened, the electromagnetic field became paralyzed and became a burden, or Negative turned into an iron mass that Negative held and wielded, and I thought I should never ride a bike… I never thought I’d get a model that looks pretty expensive too.
The bike Grape lent me no matter how much I twisted my body, it balanced itself, adjusted the speed, and headed towards my destination.
The speed on the speedometer is 40 km/h… Even though it’s not a big speed than I thought, I feel a tremendous sense of speed.
To be honest, it’s a little scary.
Is it okay for me to ride a bike for the first time at such a high speed?
It’s not like running and falling… ?
Should I tell Grape to take responsibility if the ride falls off?
Since Grape told me to ride, will you pay for the hospital bill?
When the mountain road with nothing turned into a road with cars running on it, my worries increased.
Speed is 60… It is 1.5 times the previous one.
My arms are shaking from so much speed.
Since it is an automatic operation made by True Vision, it is a function that is also used for unmanned drones, so there is no need to worry about accidents.
I know it’s safe, but it’s still scary.
Thinking that something might happen at any moment, I lightly held the brake with my hand.
It was very noisy and noisy on the road.
I don’t know why the car behind keeps thumping and turning on the lights dazzlingly in broad daylight.
Are you jealous of me for driving an expensive bike and want to kill you with a car?
Every time the car next to me was standing next to me, I thought I might hit it, so I grabbed the brakes several times and quarreled, but each time I got angry at the car behind me, telling me to go faster.
The road is full of lunatics.
A speed freak, a pervert who delights in dazzling others with a flashlight, a psychopath who likes to blow horns…
Why don’t bikes have seat belts?
If the automatic driving hadn’t gotten out of the way just a moment ago, I might have bumped into it.
I hit the brakes several times and drove carefully.
“Huh… Heo-eok…”
While anxious, the bike arrived at Area 15 surprisingly safely.
I parked my bike in front of the bank in District 15 and stepped on the ground with my trembling legs.
This is the first time the land has been so welcoming.
If I live in Grape’s house from now on, will I have to continue this dangerous driving…
On the way out, Grape’s house was built alone in the mountains, so it seemed like he would have to ride a bike to do errands outside.
This is a fatal flaw.
However, the driving time is not long… There are a lot of crazies on the road, but you can get out safely.
If you set only the navigation, it will adjust the speed and drive on its own as it is now, and the bike will take care of avoidance control if you really feel like driving.
Although terrifying, TrueVision’s self-driving feature is reliable.
Getting used to it is the only answer…
I removed the key from the bike, which was standing on its own with the autobalance function.
Come to think of it, this is my first time coming to District 15.
District 15 belongs to the workers’ residential district among the production districts at the end of City A.
District 16 is full of factories, District 17 is a mixture of forests, wild infestations, and areas turned into jungle by negatives, District 18 is a large dam and water purification facility, hydroelectric power, and lakes, and thermal power generators and wind power generators. District 19…
When I was a trainee in the National Guard, I heard that the majority of combat units, not communication units, were deployed here, so I knew the situation well.
This place, where important facilities necessary for the life and maintenance of A city are concentrated, is the most quiet place in A city, and it is a place where a lot of nature remains.
The fact that nature remains also means that there are many places for infectious agents to hide.
Therefore, considering the risk, most of those who work in the production district are provided with unmanned drones that are personally connected by True Vision.
I understand that unmanned work is impossible as there are many tasks that require flexibility and experience depending on each situation.
High-level personnel who operate unmanned drones and workers with special skills and knowledge live in Area 14 and work by wirelessly connecting to their respective work areas.
There are not many residents, as there is not only one drone that can be controlled by each person.
Because of this, it is very slow and development is slow, but it has the advantage that there are few negative attacks targeting people.
They stay and work in a safe place in Area 14, contact the National Guard if there is a problem caused by an infectious agent during work, and when a wandering monster appears, low-level magical girls come out to deal with it.
There are many infectants in the area, but few negatives.
The level of infection can be dealt with by the National Guard, and the air is much better than in the downtown area.
People’s evaluation of the production district is that it is a safe place to live once you get used to it, even if the infrastructure is pushed away from the center.
However, that is limited to highly skilled personnel.
Insignificant manpower, day laborers working in factories, go to work from District 15 to District 16, repeat simple tasks, and then leave.
District 15 consists of one-room villages and shopping districts where people who stay and disappear like migratory birds live.
Now that most of the processes have been mechanized, there aren’t that many of them, so District 15 is also very quiet.
“Welcome, what are you doing?”
Thanks to that, I was able to complete the card reissuance application not long after.
Since no one was there, I went straight to the bank teller without having to go to the unmanned reception desk and take out a turntable.
After a while, I was able to get a new payment card from the bank teller.
“Thank you, please accept the card.”
You can easily get a payment card reissued just by having an electronic ID and a vision phone.
I took my new card in hand and walked to the waiting table inside the bank and sat down.
Since the card number has changed while getting the card reissued, the card information of the payment app using the vision phone must also be changed.
“Whew.”
With this, all the problems caused by the fire in the house are solved.
I got a new vision phone, the hypnosis application worked well, the payment card was reissued, and the vision phone payment function was linked well.
Now… Let’s kill time in moderation and buy lunch at an expensive place.
I got my own card, but I have to pay with Grape’s card.
He gave me the card hoping that I would use it, so it’s polite to write it.
I manipulated the screen of my vision phone in anticipation of a free meal.
“…Huh?”
I immediately stopped looking for the most expensive and delicious restaurant nearby when I noticed a notification in the corner of the screen.
Messenger icons, 99 notifications…
A staggering amount of messages piled up.
Even after being kidnapped by X and released, it was too late to look at the messenger because he went through various things and had sex with Grape.
But, no matter what, 99 of them… This is the maximum number of notifications that can be raised.
What the hell happened to my messenger while I couldn’t use the vision phone?
[Grape (87): Please reply…]
[Rapid (11): Please reply when you see the message…]
[Grandpa who eats rent (4): Anger, you know that living is hard…]
87 from Grape… 11 rapids, two from my grandfather who was the landlord… I think Rapid and Grape were worried that I couldn’t reach them, so I sent them some more messages.
… No matter how it is, 87 is a number that is a bit scary to open.
{Anger, there is a fire notification, but is there a problem?]
{I’ll send someone.]
{Where the hell are you? Please answer the phone.]
{Mr. Anger, I know that life is hard for you and I tried to understand it, but I think it went too far. I’m sorry, but I hope you understand that I asked for forced eviction, and I’m sending you a long message because I think you still have time to change since you’re young. In the future, this…]
The landlord’s message was nothing special.
To use the house as an oddity, I just stretched out the words to live straight from now on.
After checking the message from the previous landlord, which was not worth much attention to since living in Grape’s house, I then checked Rapid’s message.
{Mr. Anger, I’m sorry for suddenly leaving today… Next time, let’s go play together again!]
{Did you get hurt a lot… ?]
{I was forced to come out in a hurry, so I really couldn’t help it…]
{I didn’t suddenly try to leave or run away, it wasn’t that I didn’t want to be with you… I was really in a hurry.]
{Mr Anger… ?]
{Are you busy… ?]
{Isn’t there something wrong?]
{You’re not at home… ?]
{What’s up?]
{Excuse me…]
{If you see the message, please reply…]
Rapid’s message was full of expected content.
It’s strange that I couldn’t contact you after I was able to contact you.
Due to Rapid’s personality, known for being worried, he must have been anxious at the thought that something bad might have happened.
[Sorry, the house is on fire… The vision phone is also broken, so I can only contact you now.}
First of all, I sent a short reply to Rapid.
Even if you say this much, the situation will be explained, and your anxiety will subside.
It’s AM now, Rapid’s location is Area 0… There is no reply as training is in full swing.
All that remains… Grape’s message.
Even though it’s not a big deal, it’s strangely tense.
I swallowed and checked the messages Grape sent me.
