4-85: Childish Quarrel (4/5)

I didnt stand a chance in that world. Even just swinging a wooden sword led to me getting swung around. But danger was always close at hand, so I ended up causing a lot of trouble to those around me. When I made the wrong choice in a panic, I got tricked and ended up like this. Hilarious, right?

Shinichi laughed in self-deprecation, but Takeshi was used to him being like that, so he did his best to hold back the emotions that threatened to boil over.Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

Thats why he ended up putting on a sour look as he said, As if I could laugh at that. Then he nonchalantly said.

Id considered the possibility of another otherworld fairly early, but as youd expect Our current technology only allows safe voyage between Earth and Garesto. We havent been able to detect other worlds either It was impossible even for me.

His expertise in engineering encompassed an incredibly broad range of applications. He was widely recognized as a genius in that field. There was no denying his talent. Be that as it may, specialized technologies, such as interdimensional navigation or interdimensional leaps, which were necessary to travel to other worlds, were just too complicated so he failed to advance them beyond what was currently known.

This is all the fault of those lazy scientists and engineers! For decades theyve had the technology, and yet they never tried to expand upon them and just sat on their laurels instead! Do your job properly damn it!

Takeshi lashed out as he expressed his frustrations, but Shinichi knew what it was that bothered him and so deliberately kept quiet, but then he noticed something and exclaimed.

Hmm Oh, right. There werent any reasons for them to develop the technology.

Exactly. They found Earth and were able to establish a friendly relationship. So since they havent found any other worlds, and they also didnt have the resources to spare, they havent bothered to develop the technology any further.

Earth has more resources to spare, but theres no way Garesto would have shared the technology with us. Thats why were still fumbling around.

Should relations between Earth and Garesto deteriorate, Garesto has the option to close the gates.

But if Earth could just open gates of their own, then such a response would become meaningless.

So even if there were Earthlings eager to explore other worlds, there was no way for them to execute. The crucial technology, which was interdimensional travel, was still heavily restricted, and research on Earth was also still in its infancy.

Exactly. Youre as quick on the uptake as usual, arent you? But why would the same divine beast appear in a fantasy world and a Sci-fi world?

For those with the ability to illegitimately obtain or manipulate information, such information was hardly trustworthy.

Furthermore, the further away the territories are, the less data there is to compare with other territories, and the exchanges with other territories only began in recent years too. With how little data there is available in the first place, it makes it even harder to paint a clear picture.

As for the nobility, did you know, Shinichi? Even among the top ten noble families that represent the pinnacle of Garestos aristocratic society, only three families have maintained their status since the inception of the system.

The other seven families faced various circumstances. Some had their bloodline discontinued. Others failed in managing their finances and fell into ruin. And a few voluntarily stepped down from their positions, taking responsibility for territorial decline, among other reasons.

These vacancies were filled through a selection process involving the remaining ten noble families and representatives from the military, based on the achievements, abilities, and scale of the familys head, among other factors.

Oh? And what are those three families?

The current general of Garesto and the family of two of your harem members.

Hey.

That being said The Doneju Family family struggles with managing their territory because of their focus on the martial spirit, while the Padyuel Family might excel in both military and civilian matters, but their position is currently dicey due to the lack of a leader and their history of having been brought to the brink of destruction. Who knows what will happen?

Takeshi was all smiles as he spoke as though none of that had anything to do with him.

But it was precisely that sort of expression that gave away what he was really thinking, which went along the lines of how much more interesting things would be if Shinichi became involved.

Especially, if he went down the route of marrying both princesses.

In contrast, Shinichi wore an obviously displeased expression, as he didnt want for things to go as Takeshi hoped.

Regardless, however, should the girls find themselves in trouble and ask for his help, then he of course wouldnt hesitate to offer them his hand.

They both knew that, so Shinichi just kept quiet, while Takeshi grinned.
