Chapter 2636: Re: Demon Realm Amusement Park

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

There was no sign that we would be teleported immediately after reaching the goal. The boat came to a stop once it reached the open area beyond the goal. Then, after a little while, something resembling a large monitor appeared before me, displaying the progress of the other peoples races.

Ah, could it be that we have to wait until everyone reaches the goal? And while were waiting, we can watch the other peoples races

Eh? But this is some amazing technology. Arent recorder magic tools still supposed to be relatively underdeveloped? Had they really advanced to the point where they could do things like floating monitors and nine-way split-screen displays?

[No, its not quite that simple.]

[Alice?]

[Congratulations on winning. Cutting straight through the theoretically fastest course is just like you, Kaito-san. Well, the others will probably take another two minutes or so, so this Transcendental Beauty who can keep Kaito-san from getting bored will answer your questions.]

I heard a voice from behind me and turned around, only to see Alice sitting on the edge of the boat, having appeared there at some point. There was no need to ask how she knew what I was wondering about. Knowing Alice, it would be easy for her to look at the floating monitor and predict what questions I would have.

[Fumu When you say its not that simple, youre talking about the recorder magic tool, right?]

[Yep. At a glance, what Kaito-san sees right now might make you think its developed into some super-advanced, sci-fi-like technology, but theyve installed several thousand magic crystals throughout this volcano just to make this possible.]

[Several thousand!?]

[Once you get into displaying images in real time, the spell formulas become way too complicated. This is one area where magic falls far behind the machines in Kaito-sans world. Magic power isnt particularly good at transmitting or projecting information. See, even hummingbird is pretty lousy when you compare it to email, and the character limit can be affected by the individuals skill, so there are a lot of inconvenient aspects to it, right?]

[Thats true. Functionally speaking, smartphones are vastly superior.]

[Its not that its impossible, but the cost-performance just doesnt add up. Even a magic tool used solely for communication takes several magic crystals and a few minutes to operate, so radio waves are much more efficient for that sort of thing.]

Indeed, while the magic tools of this world had some capabilities that far surpassed those of certain machines, they were extremely poor at things like communication and recording.

For example, magic tools for recording music, equivalent to what we would call CDs in our world, were also quite expensive, making them difficult for ordinary households to purchase.

As a result, inexpensive music boxes were the norm, and there were places resembling concert halls in various cities, so there were many areas where they were clearly inferior to mechanical products.

Conversely, when it came to storage and transportation, magic could perhaps be said to have an overwhelming advantage. Magic Boxes and teleportation magic tools were the most obvious examples of that.

[Well, its only natural that magic and machines would have different strengths and weaknesses.]

[Suppose we make use of Alice-chans transcendental intellect, I could make things that solve those problems, and if I really wanted to, I could even create something like a mechanical civilization thats different from Kaito-sans world But if you develop this and that too rapidly, all sorts of cracks inevitably start to show, so we have to be careful and take things slowly.]

[Hmm thats rough. Anyway, youre saying that continuously broadcasting footage like this, almost like a live broadcast, requires quite a lot of preparation and expensive equipment, right?]

[Exactly. This amusement park is also partly being used to experiment with technologies like that, so some of them have been implemented without regard for cost. And the system in the attractions youve played so far, where the same tool randomly determines your teleportation destination, is also a new technology.]

[Now that you mention it, I dont think weve ever had anything like that before.]

Thinking about it, the random destination teleports in places like the Forest Castle and the Mirror Labyrinth seemed like they could be useful in all sorts of attractions, but I had never seen anything like them before.

[But I see So its not simply about making a profit. Its also serving to regulate the development of technology throughout the world and test out new technologies Youve really thought this through.]

[Ah, no I mean, actually this is for Kuro-san.]

[Unn? Kuro?]

[Recently, she seems to be happy about being able to use various things with her creation-type power, and she started making things that had never existed before. If we just left her to do as she pleased, this place was going to turn into a completely absurd amusement park full of overtechnology, so after discussing it among ourselves, we made some adjustments.]

[Good work.]

Come to think of it, Kuro had happily mentioned before that she had recently become able to do things like that So she had apparently started messing around with all sorts of things using the creation-type power she had gained access to, even making things with effects that normally shouldnt be possible, which was probably why Alice stepped in to keep things under control.

[Thats right, Alice-chan is working really hard. So I think Kaito-san should spoil me more.]

[But youll run away if I do.]

[No, well, Id like you to adjust the pampering to just the right level where I dont run away or get too embarrassed, while sometimes taking me by surprise depending on the situation, with little unexpected incidents here and there, yet striking such a perfect balance that even though Im bewildered, my happiness outweighs it all, and if possible, make it pretty romantic]

[T- Thats way too many requests]

In short, her request amounted to Please spoil me while somehow taking all the appropriate considerations into account, but considering Alices request and considering just how hopeless she herself was at romance, to the point that she could confidently declare it herself fulfilling it seemed like it would require some truly delicate adjustments The difficulty level felt insanely high.

Serious-senpai : [No, that girl Once Kaito gets into a position where hes going to push things through, shell go along with absolutely anything Rather than being difficult, shes so hopelessly weak that anything you do would be a critical hit.]

? ? ? : [Thats not it. Alice-chan just wants him to be much more creatively sophisticated about it, with consideration, kindness, and affection, and adjust things so perfectly that the happiness outweighs the bewilderment.]

Serious-senpai : [..]
