Chapter 392 – Shopping
The location of the store was already known to Suni.
As if they were determined, they had already completed a preliminary investigation into the terminal store.
It was close to the hotel, and I visited the terminal store with my party.
“What, what have you come for?”
The clerk, wearing a store uniform, flinched at the sight of the tall man dragging three beautiful women into it, but he politely greeted them in a professional spirit.
It was a fairly large store with a neat interior.
“I came to buy something called a terminal.”
“Terminal…Ah, you mean the link.”
The demons seemed to call him Link.
“Do you want to replace the device?”
“No, it’s the first time.”
“Is that so? Please come this way.”
We do not have the terminal devices that the demons also have.
This was a very strange thing to the demons, but it is the power of deception to make it not strange.
At the place he guided us, not only us, but other shop assistants were standing next to the demons who seemed to be customers and guiding us.
Inside the room, there were rows of glass tubes, and in the center of the glass tubes, there was a small chip that was no bigger than a finger.
And there were also a few oddly shaped chairs that didn’t look like they were simply sitting down and resting.
“If you’re going to say this model, it’s made by Edam, and it shows clear image quality, high storage capacity, and fast response speed.”
The clerk who guided us to the glass container containing the chips began to explain.
“How are you going to use this little thing?”
These items seemed to have established themselves as essential household appliances, and the question I asked was a very strange question that lacked common sense… But since it has the power of deception, I just asked without hesitation.
“It is implanted in the head and used.”
“All the things you see here?”
“Yes. Of course.”
Just then, I saw a demon sitting on a strange-looking chair.
A helmet is put on his head. And soon after, the helmet came off again.
The demon’s eyes rose from the chair and moved busily here and there in the air.
‘Is it transplanting like that…’
It must be inserted into the head… It seems to take less than a minute to insert.
If you roughly listen to the clerk’s story, it’s a smartphone that is implanted in your head and works only with your thoughts.
I remember that the demon who guided us sometimes looked into the void.
‘Did he plant this too?’
“Are there only things like this?”
These guys might be familiar with it, but I was quite reluctant to put something in my head.
I wonder if most humans think the same as me.
“The only thing inside is a device implanted in the head… Oh! By any chance, you don’t like the link implanted in the head? Oops, I made a mistake. I should have asked about it first…”
“Yeah, planting it in your hair is a bit like that. Are there other items?”
“Of course, there are products for those who are resistant to transplantation. Haha. Me too…So do I.”
Saying so, the clerk sneakily shows us something like a band on his wrist.
“There is overwhelming comfort in the form of a link implanted in the head, but there are quite a few people who are reluctant. Of course, its stability has been verified a long time ago… But that doesn’t mean the human mind doesn’t change that easily.”
As soon as I wanted another product, the clerk’s face brightened up and he quickly started sympathizing with my opinion.
I’ve never seen such an expression on Earth.
It was the expression of a clerk who met a good waterman.
“There are still some people who believe that if you plant it in your head, the information in your head will be taken away…”
Are all places where people live the same…
The clerk left the place where the head implant was located and led us to another place.
It’s not a small chip…
Necklaces, earrings, bracelets.
Hair band. Glasses…Etc.
Various items and luxurious-looking accessories were on display.
Among them, I reached out for something that stood out and looked familiar.
Heavy weight.
It was an object that almost resembled a smartphone with a rectangular liquid crystal display.
“That’s also…You picked a very retro model.”
“Retro…”
“The Adamanium alloy and Hargon Glass V3 used as materials will never get damaged no matter how high you drop it or throw it at random. Of course, this is on the premise that no magic power is used.”
The clerk explains with great excitement when he sees the smartphone I picked up.
“Of course, the performance is overwhelming because of its size. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the link with the best performance in existence.
I had an inventory anyway, so it wasn’t a big problem.
“Master.”
Suni blushes slightly and cautiously holds out the item.
It was a ring-shaped product.
“…I think this will be good.”
Although the intention was obvious… I decided to close my eyes to her cute appearance.
However, there were beings who couldn’t see it with their eyes open.
〈 Hey! What are you doing! Cold water also has up and down sides, but since I released it recently, will it keep going over the line?!〉
“Hee!!”
Surprised by Cosmos’ fury, Suni returned the ring to its original place.
“Master, I will do this.”
I saw what Chaos had chosen.
She was opening and closing her fist with a black glove on one of her hands.
And then… Seeing him with a fishy smile… I’m seriously worried about whether I should buy it or not…
“I’ll do it with this.”
Celestia chose something like a luxury wristwatch.
Compared to the two, it’s an ordinary thing.
Still, he looked around to see if he liked it and smiled with satisfaction.
“I’ll do this…”
Sunni, who was tortured by Cosmos, eventually brought her earrings with a slightly sullen expression.
The clerk’s face blooms when he sees the goods they brought.
The reason was soon discovered.
Even compared to the product implanted in the head, the price difference was dozens of times.
The product inserted into the head felt uncomfortable and was uneven, but it would be overwhelmingly comfortable that way.
I was familiar with it because I was also using the system.
However, it seemed that emotions were still alive here.
Seeing that they still sell these things, and they cost a lot more.
It wasn’t difficult to use a smartphone called the link of demons.
This is because the artificial intelligence installed in the product explained in detail how to use it.
I didn’t feel anything special about artificial intelligence.
It was accurate and quick, but it felt like it was executing only what it was told to do, like an artificial intelligence installed in a machine on Earth.
‘I think with these guys’ technical skills, more than this is possible…’
Although this machine called Link was a product of much more advanced technology than a smartphone on Earth.
It was awkward for a while, but it wasn’t difficult to adapt.
There was no significant difference in basic functions.
There were things like the Internet and You Tube, and it was a device that executed various functions such as calls and messages.
It was convenient that there was no need to recharge as long as there was magic power.
Celestia seemed a bit difficult to use, but she soon got used to it.
I think I know it after using this link.
How foolish it was to just try to get information naked in this highly developed civilized society.
And why Sunni and Chaos wanted this item.

“…Haam…”
It was quiet.
It seemed like everyone was out.
“They are diligent.”
Our investigation that obtained the link, which can be called the smart phone of the demons…
Unfortunately, there was no progress.
The demons also had something like the internet.
I also did a search.
I couldn’t find any data about Helena.
It wasn’t that among the demons, there was no name called Helena.
However, it should be said that different characters emerge from what we think.
‘I don’t think the demons knew we would find them, so they wouldn’t have done this…’
It was a pretty depressing situation, but I felt more comfortable than I thought.
To be honest, I liked this place.
It has been a long time since I lived a civilized life connected to the Internet, and I felt great satisfaction.
Just by changing the skin color of the demons, it was enough to believe that this was the Earth of the future.
As I sit on the sofa, a large video is displayed in front of me.
And since yesterday, the movie was played continuously.
I was starving blankly while watching a movie.
I chose the room service menu with my smartphone and selected payment.
Meals were delivered shortly thereafter.
Clean and beautifully prepared food that is incomparable to the food of demons.
It looks good, but it also tastes good.
I ate a leisurely meal while watching a movie.
I was enjoying my vacation.
Fortunately, I had a lot of money.
Even here, magic stones were a valuable item, and as the owner of the four Great Devil Castles, I had so many magic stones that they rotted away.
It seems that all places where people live are the same.
Having money makes life radically easier.
‘Should I bring the other kids here and live there?’
I’m the only one living such a comfortable life, so my conscience stings a little.
After finishing the meal, I finished watching the movie and got up.
Everyone goes out and is diligently searching for Helena’s whereabouts, but even if she is alone in the house, she notices it.
