Rolling around inside the limousine, that was me.
Sinri was also rolling around on the sofa.
“I searched with Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet), Master~, and that accident from earlier? It’s like it completely never happened~”
A monitor materialized right in front of Sinri.
It displayed real-world internet news and the timeline of Exxi (a type of SNS where you can post short messages).
Unnaturally so, there was nothing written about the incident that occurred at the border with Nagano prefecture.
『It seems Public Security is restricting the information.』
Tenri shared the results of her investigation using Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet).
“Information restriction, huh.”
So they covered up inconvenient information to keep it from getting out.
“Isn’t it kinda amazing they can make something that big just disappear like nothing happened?”
『Public Security has apparently been covering up supernatural incidents for a long time, so it seems they have the know-how to hide them.』
Suddenly, Sinri raised her hand.
“But isn’t that strange~?”
『Your existence, perhaps?』
“What part of me is strange!?”
『An artificial lifeform created by Omniscience, yet you grow more idiotic with each passing day. That is strange.』
“Waaaaah! Master! My little sister is bullying me~!”
Sinri came over and hugged me. There, there.
『It’s because you spoil her, Master, that she’ll never even become the latest version of Windows.』
Could you stop using Windows as a benchmark for intelligence…?
“My brain is high-spec, you know! By the way, what was the latest Windows again? 6?”
『You, shut up already.』
“I don’t wanna~. I’m gonna talk~. Anyway, Master, getting back on topic.”
How far back are we going…?
“Public Security is covering up the incident, right? But why can we still search for it with Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet)?”
Come to think of it, that is strange.
One of Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet)’s weaknesses is that it can’t search for information that isn’t hidden, right?
But we were able to search for this incident just fine.
『What Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet) cannot search is only information hidden by Skills or magic.』
Nyaruhodo ne~.
“Yes!”
Sinri energetically raised her hand.
“Yes, Sinri-kun, what is it?”
“I can’t follow the conversation!”
Oh…
『You, be quiet now, Abacus.』
“I’m not even electronic anymore!?”
An abacus… I mean, you can calculate with an abacus, but still…
“Basically, Sinri, it means that information not hidden by otherworldly powers like Skills or magic can be searched by Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet).”
“Oh, is that all? Geez, Tenri, you make things sound too complicated~ Even an idiot can make simple things sound difficult, you know~?”
I could feel Tenri getting ticked off.
“Calm down, calm down.”
『Tch…!』
Tenri sighed, looking genuinely annoyed.
…However. Hmm.
『Are you curious too, Master?』
“Yeah. In the end, we still don’t know who sent those Flame Hounds, right?”
『Affirmative. It cannot be searched with Omniscient and Omnipotent (Internet). However, there was one piece of information in the Public Security database that caught my attention.』
Browsing the Public Security database, anticipating the information I’d want, and looking it up beforehand…
“Tenri~. You can’t do that, okay? Acting on your own~. Have you heard of Hou-Ren-Sou? You shouldn’t just do things arbitrarily; you need to consult first.”
『Silence, Written Calculation.』
“Now I’m handwritten!? Maste~r!”
While patting Sinri’s head, I asked Tenri.
“So, what was the term that caught your attention?”
“Master, are you thinking you can just get away with patting Sinri’s head?”
Gulp.
“No, no, of course not.”
“Okay~!”
Sinri-chan is so honest and such a good kid.
『The term that caught my attention concerns the God of Nagano.』
“Huh? What’s that, the God of Nagano?”
『Apparently, a God exists in Nagano.』
“God… you mean in a conceptual sense?”
『No, it seems one truly exists. The God of Nagano… commonly known as [Nagano God].』
