Chapter 1803 – [Cyberpunk: Dimension Runner]

The Ichon-dimension restaurant was running well today as well. The adventurer party, who had been wary of Kristoff at first, became absorbed in eating it when the food was served, and after they finished eating, although they were a little uncomfortable, their guard eased a bit compared to when they first met.

You will gradually get used to it. Even if a problem arises, I will step in and stop it, so I hope you can rest assured.

Chairman Naomoto and Christoph talked for a long time. Of course, we ate while eating, but we continued to talk for several hours, so I could see how engrossed they were in the conversation.

Still, the end eventually approaches. The first to wake up was Christophe, who came earlier than Chairman Naomoto.

[I enjoyed our conversation today. I hope we can meet and talk next time.]

“Me too. It was a very useful time.”

[It may be difficult to schedule a time to meet since we are on different time axes, but… I will stay as long as possible, so we can meet again next time. See you then.]

A customer who stays in the store for several hours is an unpleasant customer for the store owner, but it is a different story if the store’s sales increase significantly every time that customer comes.

Kristoff, who took turns paying for the meal, gave us a bag full of mana-stored gems like last time. Thinking about what I ate today, what I ate before was enough, right? In fact, I don’t have to receive any money from him for a while.

[Here is today’s payment. I enjoyed it today too.]

“No. What I gave you before was enough…”

[Just take it. At least that ice cream is worth it to me. Should I say it is like a glass of water given to a person on the verge of death of thirst in the desert… So I don’t want to put a low price on it.]

“… Then I understand.”

Even though I say that, it is against etiquette to keep refusing. Let’s take it and sell it to Delta Castle to raise some money.

It would be nice to think that the military funds to be used when going to the market or auction house later in the dimensional civilization have increased. I’m not particularly concerned about money, but if I have a lot, I can buy better ingredients and cook, so Eden will like it.

And Chairman Naomoto, the last remaining guest, also spent some time drinking tea and digesting food before getting up. But today, instead of just going back, I brought up various stories.

“But when will you guys come to our world?”

“Yes?”

“No, I set up my own company and created two executive-level IDs, but if the people involved don’t come and use them, wouldn’t it be meaningless? For me, I wish they would visit us quickly…”

Well, I had an idea of ​​going to a cyberpunk-like world over there. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have wanted the status and money of a world I had no interest in the first place.

The only problem is that it came earlier than expected. No, I was thinking about going this winter at best.

Perhaps because it was an important story, Eden also came out of the kitchen. On the other hand, it is because the last customer is leaving today, and in any case, he answers Chairman Naomoto’s question.

“I thought about going, but I didn’t have time. Uhm, then I’ll go during my vacation this summer.”

“Oh, is that so? Then I guess I’ll be looking forward to it. Before that, I have to insert a biochip with a separately issued ID, but that’s…”

“Please take care of it.”

“Hmm, I see. Then we’ll see you next time.”

Just like that, Chairman Naomoto also finished his meal and returned. I guess I’ll have to visit there next time.

Eden also seems to really think about this, not just lip service. Next time, I’ll visit the cyberpunk world over there… So I’ll have to pay more attention.

The business day of Ichon-Dimensional Restaurant is Saturday. And the next day, Sunday, is a holiday. As a result, Eden and I were able to rest and spend time leisurely at home. At the same time, she tells a story about Chairman Nao Moto.

“Hmm, if you operate in a world like cyberpunk, information warfare will be important. So, I will prepare something like an all-purpose hacking tool.”

“Ah!!!!! I want to go too!!!!!”

[Me too!!!!!!!]

“No, people who want to go have different opinions. If this is the case, I don’t know how you’re going to make me decide.”

“It’s okay if I don’t go, so that’s okay.”

“Even if one person leaves, two people want to go…”

There are two people I would like to go to. Eve and Kether.

On the one hand, I’m trying to go to Keter because of my friend Cana, who is also from AI, and because of the shitty natural environment. First, both reasons are understandable, but we cannot just allow it.

No, if you go, there will be many problems. In a world like cyberpunk, safety is not guaranteed even if you are an executive at a mega-corporation, so what happens if you take kids who stand out?

And since Eden and I are still the only identities, if the two of us want to go, we have to talk separately. Maybe if I talk to Chairman Naomoto, he will arrange it for me…

“You won’t have to worry about standing out. Even in a dimensional civilization, people on the other side will think that Eden is just a pretty person, and that she’s receiving separate procedures or wearing unique implants.”

[Implant what?]

“I’m talking about your horns. From that perspective, wouldn’t you think it’s an implant that looks like an antenna for receiving radio waves?”

[My horns are not decoration!!!!!]

“It’s called Lu-Beana in the first place, but what is its purpose? Is it just a character?”

[Hmm… Handle?]

“Why are you saying that while looking at me?”

[Ask because you don’t know?]

“You’re asking this knowingly!!!!”

First, I plan to use my summer vacation to visit Chairman Naomoto’s world. Considering the usual business hours for both my store and Eden’s store and the business days of the I-Dimensional restaurant, I only had one day off a week… No, is it more than that?

Eden spent her time doing resuscitation procedures and staying in her own room even after business, so she had little personal life. Of course, it didn’t take that long, but he spent every day like that and couldn’t get a proper rest even on Sunday, his only day off, so he should take this opportunity to get some rest.

No matter how transcendent you are, you must rest when you rest. Otherwise, you’ll be out of luck.

“I actually like running a restaurant. I actually feel healed when I see customers eating well.”

“Working is both a hobby and healing.”

“My daughter lost her Deokup match.”

Honestly, I also enjoy working when I cook. Aside from that, I would feel bad if even just one Jin Sang-son came out, but I’m glad I haven’t had anyone like that since I came out.

Oh, of course you have to be careful. Not telling the truth because you’re afraid of the boss means you may not be able to change what needs to be changed because you’re afraid of the boss and don’t file a legitimate claim. And a customer who is so offended will never come back.

“Eden cares about you too. They say they won’t tell the truth because they have Korma with me, but they don’t want to lose customers because they can’t file a complaint.”

“Yeah, okay.”

“Especially, Elysium is still in the early stages of opening. There are a lot of things to change and change, but if there is no feedback from customers, it will become fixed.”

“It seems like you’re nagging the kid a lot about what’s going on at your store.”

“Oh, is that so?”

To be honest, it’s okay, and Eden has just opened his first store, so I’m really worried… Anyway.

First, it was decided that Eden and me, and Eve and Keter, would go to the cyberpunk world. However, in order to do so, a separate identity was needed.

As long as you have Eve, you can create a separate ID through hacking and create a fake identity, but since you have to go and do it in the end, it was better to just ask Chairman Naomoto in advance. It won’t be difficult to create identities for two more people, so just look at it and tell them at this second dimension restaurant.

And again, a week later, the opening date of the Ichon Dimensional Restaurant arrived. Even when the store opens, it’s random who comes first, so I had to wait a while, but luckily, Chairman Naomoto came first today.

He smiled as he looked at the store, which was the same as usual and still had no customers. I think it’s probably good that he got to do the magic trick today.

“I guess I’m the first one today.”

“Yes, please take a seat. And we have something to talk about.”

“You want to talk? Oh, you mean to visit us?”

“I’m planning to take some time during my summer vacation to go there. However, since the number of people in my group has increased, I’d like to ask about your status as well. Would that be okay?”

“Of course. Considering that we’ve been eating here so far, what I’ve given you wasn’t enough, but that’s not a problem. But who is in the group? Is it someone I know?”

“I’ll introduce you now.”

I called Eve and Keter. First, I thought I needed to see the face separately, so I called Cherubim separately, so it was easy to come to Elysium.

Eve may have heard the story through Cana, but this is her first time in Kether. Chairman Naomoto looked at the two people and his eyes lit up as if appraising a gem.

“Oh, is this her second daughter that I heard about from Kana? But this one is…”

“My name is Keter. My house, uh, restaurant?”

[I don’t know how many times it is because I haven’t counted yet, but this is my wife!!!!]

“You’re not saying strange things in front of guests!!!!”

[You didn’t deny it was your wife!!!!]

“Ah!!!!”

As Keter and I bickered and talked, Chairman Naomoto smiled happily as if he was watching young people dating.

No, not tackling this or that. It’s also surprising that Keter speaks out of will… Ah, what Kristoff said was different from what he said, but it was similar. It’s a matter of purity of will, but in the larger sense, it’s the same.

First, I introduced the two people separately. Along with the name, it briefly talks about the characteristics.

“Eve is an android like Kana. However, unlike Kana, she is good at hacking and electronic warfare.”

“Nice to meet you.”

“Hoo.”

“And Keter… Is a completely different race that does not exist there. Their characteristics include environmental purification and terraforming.”

“No, wait a minute. What did you just say?!?!”

Chairman Naomoto reacted so violently that his blood pressure was worried, and he jumped up from his seat. Yet, the gaze continues to be on Kether.

That’s why it’s such an important issue over there. One of the traditions of the cyberpunk worldview is the harsh natural environment. I’ve heard before that the marine ecosystem is completely destroyed… But looking at them breathing and moving around, do you think plankton is still alive?

In any case, in such a situation, it is not strange that Kether, who can terraform a planet with a single body, is revered as a god even in a world where science and technology are advanced. No, if you think about power, it is just specialized in that area, but it has much greater power and ability than most gods.

“Keter was the one who helped us build the food material production plant and ecosystem for our ship. The reason I joined this trip was because I was interested in that, so I decided to accompany them.”

“Oh, I see. Then there must be a lot of things I can do. If I go to the other world, wouldn’t you help me with my work for a while?”

[What are you going to give me?]

“If you need anything over there, I’ll give it to you.”

[Well, I’ll go and see it first and then tell you.]

The chairman of a mega-corporation is giving away everything he owns as a blank check… He seems to be very interested in that, right? On the other hand, I thought it might be a good thing to have Keter accompany me on this trip.

No matter what world it is, it’s nice to be treated well. That’s why there are problems that arise, but it’s not better to let them happen, so when they occur, we see a lot of dirty things.

“First, I will create separate IDs for the two people. And as for the issue of implanting a living biochip… Don’t you guys also not like such implants?”

“Yes, that’s right. It’s a bit uncomfortable to put something in your body.”

“Me too. I feel like such machines and implants harm human purity. So, I will provide you with a separate ID card and a multipurpose terminal that can be used there. You will be able to prove your identity and do various other things, so there will be no problem in your activities. “

“Thank you for your convenience.”

“Well, if I go over there, I’ll have something to take care of, so I have to do at least this much.”

If I go over there, I can’t wait to take advantage of you. Well, as long as it doesn’t become a big problem, I plan to do it in moderation to some extent, so it’s not something I’m particularly worried about. Traveling and sightseeing will be easier if you have a friendly relationship with the chairman of a large company who is more powerful than the government of a country.

Chairman Naomoto was concerned about something else besides that. It’s mainly about safety and security issues… Honestly, this is a meaningless story.

“Ah, one thing before that. The security in Abyss City is bad. I have received assassination threats several times, so it is obvious to everyone else. Moreover, the rest of your group are all beautiful women who would have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on cosmetic implants. Since it’s out there, nasty things can stick to it.”

“Even if it has the Naomoto Company name on it?”

“Mayflies don’t care about that.”

“It’s okay if you’re thinking about our safety. We have enough force to protect ourselves.”

“If you say that, I understand. To be honest, I’ve only heard about it, so it doesn’t really resonate with me, but if you say that, you must be confident.”

Chairman Naomoto, who heard about the transcendent through Kana, seemed skeptical. At least half of that belief is probably because I’ve seen someone so clearly alien like Kristoff before.

If you have scientific common sense, it would be hard to believe that a human-shaped being could destroy a planet or something like that. That’s because it’s not science, it’s the realm of fantasy.

Well, I hope I don’t have to go there and use my energy.
