Daily life in Zongman

"Hey, that's a compliment, thank you~"

Futaba didn't look at him again: "Thank you... for your comfort just now."

——End of Chapter————

Note ①-Layered City Kawahara: The city name does not appear in the manga "Girls' Last Tour". Here, it is inferred that it is a Japanese city based on the Japanese words on the buildings in the manga. The name Kawahara is set based on Kawasaki and Nara.

Testimonials

If we break it down, this book writes about Yukino, so it should be a Oregairu fanfiction (I'm sure of it).

This book will have some notes at the end of each chapter, but there will be no author's message. Some subsequent plots will switch to the first person to further enhance the sense of immersion. Leave will be a separate chapter.

As the title suggests, this book focuses on daily life in the ACG world, hoping to depict the joy, ease, and beauty of life in the ACG world. I will write each story well, with protagonists, supporting characters, and even strangers.

There are no words in the article, and the only characters whose names appear are just passing supporting characters.

Here are some questions and answers↓

Regarding the message: I read all the comments and posts, but I apologize that I cannot reply to each one.

About update: The code is slow, unable to support the bounty, and will not be issued for harvesting.

About the heroine: This is a harem novel, and I like to write happy endings with strong bonds.

About the listing: I hope you can share this book with your friends in the group. If possible, please vote for it. It will give me motivation to write.

Finally, I hope everyone can find relaxation and happiness in this book. Thank you for your support. Thank you very much.

53. You don’t even want to call me Prime Minister

The robot that came to greet us was a small tracked robot. Upon arrival, it spoke in a male, uncle-like voice: "Good afternoon, everyone. I am your tour guide for the sixth floor of the layered city of Kawara City. I will now take you to the sixth base tower, which will lead to the next floor."

Fujiwara Haru was a little confused: "Can't we go directly to the first floor?"

The small tracked robot slowly moved forward. "When the Layered City was first designed, the possibility of disputes between the upper and lower levels was taken into consideration. Therefore, there are no passages connecting all levels. Each passage leading to another level only connects to two levels, ensuring that riots at the lower level will not directly affect the upper levels."

Futaba Rio immediately understood the reasoning behind this. Looking at the somewhat bewildered Fujiwara Haru, she explained, "The pyramid structure ensures safety and comfort at the top. It seems the facilities become increasingly basic as you go down. This is likely where the wealthiest and most developed people live."

The two of them were quite quiet along the way. Fujiwara Haru observed the streets, noticing the various high-tech buildings and facilities. He regretted not bringing his Polaroid camera; if he had, he could have taken some photos of the other world and shared them with Sister Shendong when he got home.

Draw it? Sounds like a good idea.

Oh, and he also needs to record this Purple Star Gate incident to prevent the same fuzzy memory as last time. Wait, is this the same thing as last time with the Purple Star Gate? He's actually been there once before, but his memory was erased when he died and returned home?

If you think about it carefully, it shouldn't be. The last time the Purple Star Gate was not his story, he still remembered some things about Tachibana Taki. This time the Purple Star Gate was a special story that belonged to him alone.

Forget it, thinking about all this is a waste of time. Fujiwara Haru decided to write it down first.

He looked at the crawler car and said, "Mr. Tour Guide, could you take me to the stationery store? I want to get some notebooks and pens."

Tracked Car: "I can't understand the stationery store. Searching for information online. Searching for information online..."

"Stationery stores: These were the stores where ancient people bought their school supplies. With the full implementation of virtual reality learning, these stores have disappeared and no such stores exist today."

"Confirmed needs: notebooks and pens. Searching for targets, searching for targets... department stores, libraries, art galleries..."

"The nearest destination has been retrieved, please follow me."

Fujiwara Haru was curious and followed the car: "Where are we going, Mr. Tour Guide?"

The crawler's voice was mechanical, and it answered meticulously, "The nearest place with notebooks and pens is the library."

"Ah, the library isn't obsolete?"

Tracked Cart: "Paper materials are a relatively safe and stable means for humans to record knowledge, and libraries still exist."

It's the library, there must be super advanced knowledge in this world! Fujiwara Haru turned to look at Futaba Rio, wanting to share the good news with her, but found that she was not around, but a long distance behind him.

It stopped, and the crawler vehicle also stopped.

After waiting for a while, Futaba Rio came over, a little breathless.

"Sorry, can you take a break for a while?"

"Of course, let's rest for a while before going over."

The two sat down on the street. Fujiwara Haru took out a gourmet tablecloth and spread it on the ground. He pressed a corner with his schoolbag and looked at Futaba Rio: "What do you want to eat?"

"a cup of coffee."

Fujiwara Haru clasped his hands together and said, "Please give me a glass of ice watermelon juice, a cup of coffee, a garlic-flavored shelled crayfish, and a serving of rice. Thank you very much."

The corresponding items appeared on the tablecloth.

Fujiwara Haru, who was a little hungry, picked up the rice and started eating. He chewed it slowly, savoring the delicious garlic crayfish and the softness of the rice, and liked the gourmet tablecloth even more.

After eating and resting, the two continued to follow the tracked vehicle. They rested several times during the journey. Near dusk, the tracked vehicle stopped.

"We have arrived at the library. It's getting late, please rest. We will enter standby mode and continue to the sixth tower tomorrow."

Fujiwara Haru asked, "Tour guide, please wait a moment. Could you please send a car to pick us up tomorrow? I think it would be faster to take a car."

"Demand has been applied for, demand has been applied for... The reply is that all existing ground transportation has been paralyzed and can no longer be used. Would you like to apply to purchase a vehicle? Once the order is placed, the workshop will start vehicle production."

"Hey, we don't have money, we probably can't afford it."

"Contacting the sixth tower for feedback, please wait..."

"Once you receive a reply, please follow the steps below. Step one, please register as a resident of Kawara Layered City."

The tracked vehicle projected a virtual light screen with a registration document on it. Fujiwara Haru and Futaba Rio filled it out according to the requirements.

Xiaoche: "The application has been submitted. Currently, there are no grassroots review personnel, no grassroots management personnel, no middle management personnel, and no decision-making personnel. The application has been approved by default. Welcome Fujiwara Haru and Futaba Rio to become residents of Kawara Layered City."

Xiaoche: "The highest position of authority, Mayor of Cascade City, is currently vacant. According to the 'Rules for the Appointment and Removal of Cascade City Managers,' the 63rd mayoral election ceremony has begun. The first stage is the selection of mayoral candidates. To become a candidate, one must secure 1% of the votes of the current Cascade City residents."

Fujiwara Haru and Futaba Rio looked at each other and said, "You coming?" ×2

Futaba Rio took a small step back and said, "Fujiwara-kun, you come. I have no interest in being the mayor."

Fujiwara Haru did not refuse any more and nodded in agreement. With excitement, he also cast a vote for himself.

Xiaoche: "The first main tower failed to contact, the second main tower failed to contact, the third main tower failed to contact, the fourth main tower failed to contact, the fifth main tower failed to contact, the sixth main tower successfully contacted, and the voting data has been uploaded and synchronized.

100% of the residents of Cascade City have voted, and the first phase of the Cascade City mayoral election has concluded. The second phase has begun, and the current candidate is Fujiwara Haru. Since there is only one candidate and 100% of the residents of Cascade City have voted, the result of the Cascade City mayoral election is undisputed, and the mayoral election is over.

"Congratulations to Fujiwara Haru for becoming the 63rd Mayor of Layer City!"

The projections on the crawler car simulated the effect of fireworks, which crackled continuously with the sound of electronic explosions.

Fujiwara Haru was also very happy and waved his right fist: "Oh~ I'm the mayor!"

The crawler stopped and simulated fireworks: "Mayor Fujiwara, do you want to change the name of the current Layered City?"

The virtual screen reappeared, revealing an input box with the characters "川良" (Kawara) in it. Fujiwara Haru didn't change anything and simply confirmed the entry.

Tracked Car: "The Layered City maintains its original name - Kawara."

"Based on the current state of the Layered City, the 'Post-Disaster Special Permissions' have been activated. The mayor has full authority over the city and can utilize all resources for production and construction."

"Contacting the sixth tower to apply for the mayor's special car. Application approved."

"Mayor Fujiwara, please select and set up the vehicle."

The virtual screen showed the car options and possible configurations. Fujiwara Haru looked at Futaba Rio and said, "I don't quite understand. Futaba, you come?"

After spending half a day together, he already knew one thing: Futaba Rio was a genius girl. If he had any questions, he would definitely go to her and her answers would definitely be better than his own.

It’s really nice to have a smart teammate, but her physical strength is a little low and she always needs to rest. Maybe I can take her for a run together?

Fujiwara Haru sat aside, waiting for Futaba Rio to finish the operation. His mind was jumping around at this moment. From taking Futaba for a run to exercise her body, he thought about whether Futaba had also skipped grades. You see, she was relatively weak and shorter than him, but very smart. So, could it be that she had also skipped grades like him and skipped more than him?

So Futaba is only ten years old?

This makes Futaba seem like the genius in the Tsinghua class in our memory, the kind who completed high school knowledge in junior high school, went to Tsinghua University after going through the formalities, and became a genius in the national key talent training program.

It's completely different from myself. Fujiwara Haru thinks he is very smart, even a genius, but compared with Futaba Rio, he feels far behind.

The gap between geniuses can sometimes be enormous. In just half a day of interaction, she was able to analyze so much from subtle details, offering clear guidance on both the current situation and future direction, seemingly knowing everything. Meanwhile, he only understood the things he was interested in, his knowledge limited to a junior high school level.

I've decided. If I have any questions in the future, I'll ask Futaba more often. It's much better than thinking hard on my own.

His thoughts jumped and he recalled the mayoral election just now. Because there were only two people left in the Layered City, he became the mayor. Speaking of which, will they, the alien visitors, be the only ones left in this apocalyptic world?

Fujiwara Haru slapped his thigh and stood up: "Wait! Mr. Tour Guide, can I run for Prime Minister? I want to apply to run for Prime Minister! I don't want to be mayor anymore!"

Tracked Car: "We have lost contact with other Layered Cities and are unable to participate in nationwide elections."

Fujiwara Haru sighed and sat down. It was such a pity, such a pity.

He was almost the prime minister. When he had the chance, he could say to others, "You can call me Prime Minister Fujiwara."

The sun in the sky gradually sets, and the sunset brings warm yellow. Fujiwara Haru and Futaba Rio welcome their first night in this apocalyptic world.

54. Now is the turn of the sky-drop system.

The sun's rays gradually dimmed. Futaba Rio completed the settings for the mayor's car. The tracked car went into hibernation and the two entered the library.

The two chatted with the crawler car for a while and learned that the library's power system had been damaged, so they could only use flashlights for lighting. However, there was still water supply, and the library had a lounge where they could rest for the night.

After walking in, I found that this is also a super huge building. The bookshelves inside are very tall. The height is estimated to be 30 meters and the width is over 100 meters. When the flashlight is shone on it, only the tip of the iceberg can be seen.

They stand quietly, like monuments, engraved with human knowledge.

Fujiwara Haru used a flashlight to check the bookshelf. After a while, he noticed that Futaba seemed to be looking for something, so he asked, "Futaba, what are you looking for?"

Futaba Rio didn't reply.

"Let's search faster together. What book are you looking for?"

Futaba's words felt forced: "Bathroom."

Fujiwara Haru said "oh" and started looking along the wall in the opposite direction from Futaba Rio. Not far away, he saw a cubicle with the word "female" written on it. It looked like a bathroom.

"Futaba! Over here!"

On the other side, Futaba Rio didn't answer, but walked quickly from a distance. When she got closer, her pace slowed down again. She bent down slightly and held the wall, looking a little painful.

I watched her walk into the bathroom, and then heard a weak voice: "Please don't stand at the door, please."

"okay."

Fujiwara Haru moved away a little and continued walking a few steps along the wall. When he saw the cubicle with the word "Male" written on it, he went in to take care of his personal hygiene.

Under the starry sky, the huge layered city street lights lit up. Some power facilities built after the war were not damaged and they were still working thanks to the intact energy supply system.

Now, it is the spring of 3030. This is the end of the world, one of the possible futures of modern Earth. The creatures here are basically extinct, and only the lonely wind is left, blowing in the streets.

The restroom was filled with only the beam of light from the flashlight, and besides the sounds she made, it was eerily silent. Futaba Rio took a deep breath, quickly cleaned herself, and walked out after washing her hands.

Inside the dark library, only the huge bookshelves remained, standing quietly, as always.

Wait, where's Fujiwara Haruto?

The flashlight scanned the area, but there was no one there.

Where did he go?

Futaba Rio's breathing quickened a little. She turned off the flashlight, closed her eyes, and opened them again to check.

It was pitch black, and there was no light from another person's flashlight in the library. Her rationality told her that Fujiwara Haru was not the kind of person who would abandon his teammates, and she should trust him, but her emotions inevitably made her feel a little worried.

In the dark library, the only sound was her breathing, and faintly, she seemed to hear her own heartbeat.

He opened his mouth, and for the first time, his voice was a little panicked: "Fujiwara-kun!"

The sound spread throughout the huge library, and finally a response came from behind her.

"Hey, what's wrong? What happened?"

Fujiwara Haru ran out quickly with his pants held up. Suddenly he heard Futaba Rio calling out. He thought something had happened, so he wiped his butt and hurried out.

Then he saw Futaba froze for a moment, bowing slightly: "I'm sorry, please continue."

With a head full of questions, Fujiwara Haru could only go back with his pants in hand and continue his unfinished squatting.

Futaba Rio was a little ashamed of her behavior just now, she seemed to have lost her composure.

She had experienced so much today: gods, the end of the world, the sudden appearance of artificial intelligence, and a long journey. She was very tired and needed sleep to recover.
