I love time travel the most!

"So, Sato-kun, do you want to use it?"

"This, this..."

Kazuma Sato hesitated.

It's impossible for him to say he doesn't want to use it; to be honest, he really wants to play it.

After all, technology wasn't this advanced in the other world, so now that such a great opportunity has presented itself, everyone wants to give it a try.

But the thought that Mobile Fortress Destroyer, Magician Killer, and Railgun were all created by that unreliable bald researcher made him want to back down.

There's no such thing as after-sales service in this other world, and that bald researcher died hundreds of years ago, so even if you wanted to cause trouble, you couldn't find him.

Therefore, it's better to refuse to be on the safe side.

"Well... because it's not very safe, and I don't know how to operate it, I'll just leave it here for now and use it when I have the chance... Huh?"

"Heave-ho! Do this and then that..."

"Wait, Aqua! What are you doing?!"

"Oh, there are instructions on this too, so I'd like to give it a try."

Instructions? There are such things?!

Why didn't Kobayashi-senpai ask Aqua and then assemble it according to the instructions? That would have been much easier.

Turning around, he saw Xiaolin with tears streaming down her face and immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Waaaaah... I wanted to give everyone a surprise, but it all came to nothing, waaaaah..."

"I understand, I understand. It's all Aqua's fault for not telling me beforehand, not yours."

Kazuma Sato comforted his injured senior.

"I really don't want to interrupt you, but shouldn't you explain things to us, Kobayashi?"

“That’s right, I’m getting impatient. I even want to use explosion magic to blow this place up.”

"We can't do that, Huihui, it will bury us down there too."

Oh no, I completely forgot about the three of them.

Under the disgruntled gazes of Darkness, Huihui, and Youyou, he began to explain the function and concept of the virtual full-dive device to them.

"...In summary, it is a device that uses numerous signal components embedded in the machine to generate multiple electric fields, which are directly connected to the user's brain. It does not use sensory organs such as the eyes or ears, but directly transmits virtual emotional information to the brain to generate a virtual space...such a device."

Seeing Sato Kazuma talking so eloquently, Kobayashi wondered how he knew such profound principles.

"Senior Kobayashi, as a veteran player, you pay close attention to this aspect."

"So that's it, it's because of passion?"

There are rumors that virtual full-dive devices will be the future trend, but unfortunately, the future depicted in the anime has not been realized even when Kazuma Sato came to the other world.

Moreover, compared to games, reality is far too difficult, and most importantly, the feedback in reality is too subtle!

Darkness scratched his cheek, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Sorry, Kazuma. I know you were trying very hard, and I can feel that you weren't lying or trying to fool us, but I still don't understand. I'm really sorry."

"Me too. I can understand what you say, but when you put them together, I don't understand what you mean." Huihui shrugged.

"And me... I'm sorry, Mr. Kazuma, I've let you down. It's all my fault for being so stupid!" Youyou blushed and quickly bowed in apology.

Is it really too difficult to explain science to them?

Kazuma Sato was also helpless.

After all, it's a different world where magic exists, and given that those girls aren't exactly bright, it's to be expected that they wouldn't understand. It's just a pity that he has no one to share his rare hobbies with.

"Forget it. Just think of it as a magical gadget that allows you to see different or similar landscapes of this world simply by wearing this helmet."

"Hmm... I think I understood...?"

"Why is a question."

In addition, he also dislikes people who pretend to know what they don't, because it turns people's enthusiasm into anger when they discover they've been deceived.

"So, what is Kazuma afraid of?"

"Uh... have we been exposed?"

After being exposed by Megumin, Kazuma Sato scratched his head in annoyance and said, "I'm thinking about whether or not I should use it."

"Hmm? That's strange. Kazuma seems to really like it, so why is he still thinking about whether to use it or not? Generally speaking, he should choose to use it without hesitation!"

Do you think everyone is as reckless as you?

Under the puzzled looks of the others, he sighed and said, "...Because I dare not use it, after all, the safety cannot be guaranteed. I am the kind of person who is afraid of the unknown."

"Someone who's incredibly excited about the Succubus Shop's mystery package is actually saying they're afraid of the unknown?"

"Leave me alone!"

Sato Kazuma rolled his eyes.

Huihui said, "I don't understand what there is to be afraid of. Is there any danger to my life? But even if there is danger to my life, there is no need to be afraid, right? Isn't Aqua here?"

“That’s right, Kazuma. If you accidentally die, I will revive you with magic, so go for it!” Aqua gave him a thumbs up, but it didn’t sound like she was encouraging him to be brave; it sounded more like she was telling him to go to his death.

Darkness puffed out his chest and said, "No need to be afraid. If there's any danger, let me be your shield! Or rather, you must let me be your shield and experience the unknown dangers... Great! Hiss—ha—hiss—ha—"

"Mr. Kobayashi said it can create memories, and I... I also want to create memories with everyone... Is that not allowed?" Youyou's voice was very soft, but her words revealed her longing.

Unexpectedly, everyone wanted to use it.

Does that mean adventurers must have an adventurous spirit?

After being begged by so many beautiful girls, I had no choice but to use it.

"Alright, since everyone says so."

"Great! Let's all join in!"

"But if there's any danger, you need to leave immediately, understand?"

"I know I know."

Aqua was clearly not listening, turning her head and quickly adjusting the machine.

Not long after——

The integrated processor hummed, and the machine seemed to start up smoothly.

Each person held a helmet and was told how to wear it, then lay down one by one on a specially prepared bed.

"Phew, I'm a little nervous."

"After all, it's the first time."

"By the way, Kobayashi-senpai, should we shout out that classic line?"

"Oh! You have to shout! You have to shout!"

Their conversation aroused the curiosity of others.

"What classic line?"

"Actually..."

"What's the point of this? Do we really have to shout it?"

"Using this line is a standard routine! Okay, everyone, don't be shy, let's shout it together!"

"……no way."

Darkness, Megumin, and Yuuyu, who had been persuaded by Aqua, sighed.

Then--

"1, 2...!"

“Link Start!” X6

This is a huge undertaking. Furthermore, this machine will play a crucial role in the next volume, setting a precedent for the book. Whether it will be used in the future depends on the response after the next volume is completed.

Chapter 434 Modern City! Virtual Reality Game?!

A flash of white light appeared.

Accompanied by a splitting headache and intense dizziness, I was surrounded by the annoying noise of traffic.

"Ugh, ugh... It's so noisy."

Damn it, could there be something wrong with the equipment?

Kobayashi stood up unsteadily, followed by his companions, as a deep male voice reached their ears.

"Hey you guys, you're blocking the way."

"Ah, sorry... huh?"

She subconsciously apologized and let the man pass, then stared blankly at his retreating figure.

A cheap business suit, brown-gray wide-toed leather shoes, a haggard face, a hunched body, and a faint, pungent perfume scent.

Without a doubt, they are the stereotypical image of a corporate slave.

How could this be?!

Looking around, he realized that the surroundings were not the medieval buildings unique to this other world, but rather the bustling traffic typical of a modern city brimming with technology.

"Isn't this Shibuya?! Wait, what's with this outfit?"

Kazuma Sato's shouting attracted the attention of passersby and also snapped Kobayashi out of her daze.

look around.

"Ugh, I'm so bored today."

"I'm taking a break from work."

"A live show that always starts at 19 PM! Come check it out!"

"Ladies, you are truly beautiful! Are you two sisters? Where are you going? Why don't you come and have some fun with us?"

It features stylish, tanned, sexy women; energetic maids urging customers to patronize the store; and annoying men trying to pick you up everywhere.
