I love time travel the most!

"Forget it, whether it's true or not, we need to go see it." Kobayashi waved his hand and called to his companions, "Let's go, to Tokyo Skytree!"

"Oh!" X5

The group walked towards the Rainbow Bridge and headed straight for the Skytree, taking the elevator up to the observation deck.

Tokyo Skytree, also known as the New Tokyo Tower, is a broadcasting tower located in Sumida Ward, Tokyo. The base of the tower is triangular, gradually turning into a circle as it rises, with observation decks at 350 meters and 450 meters. Currently, they are located on the 450-meter level.

The little girl was immediately captivated by the view from the top of the building as soon as she stepped out of the elevator.

Having never seen anything like it before, she exclaimed, "Wow!!! That's amazing! This is truly incredible, Kobayashi! Look, look! It's so high! What a beautiful view! I've never seen anything like it before!"

"Isn't it beautiful? It's like the Sky Tree, stretching all the way into the sky!"

Aqua serves as a qualified guide.

However, she soon followed Huihui to the edge of the observation deck, gazing at the pedestrians below who were almost invisible, her expression darkening once again.

"Hehehe, look, people are like trash."

"...Have you had enough of this joke yet?"

Kobayashi tapped her on the head.

Just like she never misses a chance to see a chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur) girl strike a pose, the silly goddess never misses a chance to be silly.

Darkness crossed her arms, exuding an air of nobility like a pampered young lady, and commented, "Indeed, the view from this height is breathtaking, a novel experience even the capital city doesn't offer. How was it built?"

Huihui excitedly envisioned, "I want to build a tall tower in Scarlet Devil Village too. It will definitely become a very popular tourist destination!"

"No way, Megumin!" Yu-Yu quickly advised, "Everyone in Crimson Demon Village will not agree to build this, and even if it is built, Megumin might blow it up one day."

She knows her best friend too well.

Every day, I have to unleash a burst spell, and it can't be anything less than a large, thick object. Even if the tower is built, it's very likely that one day, Megumin, with her itchy hands, will blow it up.

Rather than letting it be destroyed one day, it's better not to build it in the first place. This will reduce both the trouble and the cost.

"And what about the other tower?"

At this moment, Aqua suggested to Megumin, "Although it's only half the height, it's red all over, which suits the style of the Crimson Demon Clan very well."

She was referring to Tokyo Tower.

Although both are iconic geographical buildings with a long history, they are smaller in size and function than the Tokyo Skytree, and were also much easier to build.

Although its altitude is not particularly remarkable in modern society, it is unique in another world and would make it a great tourist destination.

The little girl, who has no resistance to red, was immediately captivated and exclaimed, "Really?! I definitely want to see it if I have the chance!"

Huihui's eyes lit up.

However, the next leader of the Crimson Demon Clan, Youyou, still disagreed. After all, in her opinion, there was no difference between a tower that was 100 meters tall and one that was 150 meters tall; both were at risk of being destroyed by Huihui one day.

Then the two Crimson Demon girls started arguing on the watchtower about whether or not to build the tower.

Passersby quickly moved away from them.

"Alright, alright, we can discuss whether you two build the giant tower later. Right now, the most urgent thing is to find the device."

Kazuma Sato pulled the two apart.

Arguing in public not only causes trouble for others, but it would also be bad if they were kicked out by the guards, since their puzzle mission has a time limit.

The group then began searching around the 450-meter-high observation corridor. Xiaolin originally thought this part would be easy, but the difficulty was not in the puzzle but in the search.

"Aren't there any other clues? I can't find any at all, and it's already evening."

Aqua leaned on Kobayashi's shoulder, the limp goddess having lost her initial vitality.

The lookout tower wasn't very big, and there were six of them, yet they still didn't find anything.

Darkness sighed, "There's not much time left... This is bad."

"Is there a mistake in the prompt?"

Huihui became suspicious of the clue, feeling that the clue was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

“Possibly.” Sato Kazuya nodded. “This hint is easy to understand; it might be a smokescreen. But if we’re talking about the best radio tower in the island nation, this is the only one.”

"Everyone, there's no use in being anxious. Why don't we take a break now? We're hungry too."

"Gulu~~~"

As soon as Aqua finished speaking, a mournful growl came from her stomach.

“Aqua, you…”

No! It's not my stomach!

"I'm sorry, it was me..."

With a blush creeping up her cheeks, Youyou lowered her head in embarrassment.

"I really have no choice, so I'll just give you a waffle." The little girl took a paper bag out of her fanny pack and handed it over, saying, "I bought this at a shop on the street below, before the watchtower."

"Megumi... thank you!"

Youyou was deeply moved.

"When exactly was it bought... Wait, Sky City... Oh, I see!" Kazuma Sato exclaimed in surprise, slamming his right fist into his left palm, "The device isn't here, it's down there!"

"Kazuma, what have you discovered this time?"

"Don't ask any questions yet, come with me!"

Without time to answer, Kazuma Sato turned and ran downhill. The remaining people exchanged glances, but quickly gave chase.

The Tokyo Skytree has two observation decks.

One is for viewing the scenery, located in the Sky Gallery at a height of 450 meters, which is the level where they have been looking for the installation.

The other one is located 350 meters away, including restaurants, cinemas and shops. The floor is completely transparent and made of reinforced glass with a strength of 800 kilograms per square meter, making it seem like a commercial street overlooking the ground from the air. It is also known as the Sky Street.

"I see, so you're looking this way."

Aqua looked around.

Darkness frowned slightly and said, "But there are so many shops here that you can't count them all. Searching for them one by one would be too time-consuming..."

This is also unreasonable.

Did that bald researcher abandon the fun and turn it into a boring search game?

Just as Kobayashi was judging this virtual game as garbage—

[Beep beep! We've sensed that you haven't moved from your designated locations within the last few minutes, so we're issuing a new alert. The locations with this device are stores with which I have close ties. Please look for them. That's all.]

The mysterious mechanical sound reappeared.

"They're related..."

Huihui pointed to a shop not far away and said, "I say, that shop called Mysterious Sound Shop is obviously very suspicious."

“It’s definitely that one,” Aqua complained. “If you’re going to tell us, why waste time in the first place… Ugh!”

Just then, something was thrown out and almost hit Aqua.

Kobayashi looked at it and said, "It's a device, and it has... the number 8 on it?"

“It seems so. If this is the last number, then it's 4, 2, 8?” Darkness nodded.

"4, 2, 8...?"

Kazuma Sato pondered for a moment, then said knowingly, "It's 'washing cloth'... it's 'Shibuya'! Just read it differently!"

The origin of these three numbers is related to a very classic game called "428 ~Shibuya Scramble~". Subsequently, the numbers 4, 2, and 8 became the symbols of Shibuya.

Of course, these are all trivial matters.

"Then let's go back right away!" Huihui urged. "If we can finish the mission sooner, we should have time to go to the Red Tower!"

The little girl couldn't stop thinking about Tokyo Tower.

After solving all the mysteries, the group headed towards Shibuya again.

But as soon as they got to the street...

"Okay, there's still time!"

"Wait a minute! The Mobile Fortress Destroyer is going berserk over there!"

"Megumi, I already told you it's a car, not a Mobile Fortress Destroyer... Wait, is it really true?!"

Sato Kazuma's expression changed drastically as he turned his head.

Because there really is a berserk mobile fortress destroyer on the street!

Aqua trembled as she said, "Why would that person go berserk in a place like this?!"

"Because...the one who created this virtual space is that bastard! That shitty game!" Kazuma Sato roared, looking up.

[Beep beep! Device complete, final mission initiated!]

A mysterious mechanical voice then broadcast the announcement.

[Urgent Mission! Use the four devices at your disposal to stop the weapon!]

Seemingly to emphasize the sense of crisis, the originally blue screen turned bright red, and urgent alarms blared in the air.

[Victory condition: Stop the weapon. Failure condition: Die in battle. Now, let's begin.]

"Are you kidding me? How are you going to stop this?!"

Kazuma Sato launched into a tirade of curses.

Adding combat elements to a casual game is no different from adding human venom to a marshmallow—it's all garbage!

[Hint: There are grooves on the weapon's feet for inserting devices. Please install the four devices there.]

"Should we get close to that guy's feet?...Wait, four?"

Youyou discovered the key point.

4, 2, 8...aren't these three?

"Ah! I remember now! Add the original device, and that makes four! What an admirable performance!"

Huihui laughed.
