After finishing his juice, he throws the empty cup into the garbage can.
"By the way, these cups are disposable, aren't they?
"Yes. They are made of wood paper, which is made of plant fibers and held together with a bonding agent. It seems to be impregnated with wax to prevent water from seeping through.
"Has the technology advanced a bit?"
This technology comes from Mitsuho.
Mitsuho ......?
Yes. Yes. It is a nation located further west of the Hariri Desert. It's a land of humans, but few mages."
"...... No mages? How is that a country? Interesting. ......"
This fact also seemed to interest Chelle.
Chelle and Anne walk out slowly, empty-handed.
"What shall we do next?"
"Well, I would like to ...... see your level of skill."
Hearing Chelle's request, Anne thought better of it.
This town is out in the middle of nowhere and there are no workshops for magic tools.
The only place relatively close to us that has such a facility is .......
(>)
The old man suggested it to me through the built-in manacam.
(Kupu?)
(<
(But there is a search society ......
(I think it would be okay to show them.)
(Is that so?)
(.)
(Okay, I understand. What about transportation?)
(<
(Okay.)
After such an exchange in 0.2 seconds, Anne makes a proposal to Cher.
"Why don't we hire a car and go to another town? We have a workshop there.
"I see. I will do so.
The answer was immediate, so the group left the town of Rutgula and headed for the car waiting for them on the road leading southeast.
The carriages actually operate inside the town, not outside, but neither Chell nor Hahn knows this.
The car that the old man had sent out was soon found.
"Is this the car?"
"Yes, it is. ...... I need to go to Kupu.
"Kupu? It's a little far, but if you pay me 10,000 dollars, I'll take you there.
The driver is Regulus 17, aka . He is in charge of the southern part of the Kingdom of Selroa.
The group boarded a <> and set out for Kupu.
"How long will it take?"
Xenos answered Chell's question.
"Well, it's about 200 kilometers, so about 4 hours.
I understand.
I understand.
Jin, who was watching this exchange, felt that it was different from human beings that they did not mind that it took a long time.
"Old man, what do you intend to show us in the kupu?"
"That's true."
"Oh, I see."
I wonder if they would react in the same way as the golem under < in <.
The old man expects a different reaction.
"Yes, I think so too.
"That seems likely."

On the way to Kupu, Chelle had many questions and conversations with Anne.
"What kind of organization is responsible for the maintenance of the roads?
She also asked "What kind of organization is responsible for the maintenance of the roads?
"Hasn't this area been engulfed by war?
and "Wasn't this area engulfed by the war?
You are making a declining civilization rise up again after the drastic decrease in the number of technicians. Humans are ...... strong."
The passenger car is getting closer and closer to Kupu through such conversations.
And then,
"What I want to know the most is the best technology and engineers in the world today, where can I find them?"
This question was the most difficult to answer.
"<>. You are the best magical engineer in the world, aren't you?
I can answer about the engineer, but the question "where" is more difficult to answer.
So, here is Ann with a half-truth in her answer.
I can't answer the question "Where do I go? But if you and Chelle recognize this world and are willing to help us maintain peace, we will see you soon.
