Chapter 326: The Strongest Organization in the Otherworld
“Wow, so you can do that?”
After I conveyed to Jushiro-san what I wanted to do and what I was currently capable of, he seemed impressed but then fell into deep thought for a moment.
“Um, is it difficult?”
“Hmm? Ah, sorry, sorry! I was just thinking about some other things we could do.”
Noticing his delayed response, I inquired further, and the furrow in Jushiro-san’s brow relaxed.
“If it’s something Shuu-kun wants to do, it’s easy.”
He explained that the apartment building already had an internet connection established. Apparently, there are rooms where you can simply plug in a LAN cable, just like inserting a power plug.
“So all you need to do is buy a Wi-Fi router, and you’ll be good to go.”
“Oh, I see.”
It sounded simpler than I expected. If additional contracts were needed, I would have to ask for help again.
“That apartment has a one terabyte high-capacity line, you know. If you’re buying a router, make sure to get a good one.”
“Ah, yes.”
“And the LAN cable should be Cat 12—”
He continued to share his knowledge about network setup, but I was completely lost. El, who had been listening intently, nodded occasionally, which puzzled me. She still doesn’t understand Japanese that well, does she?
“By the way, can I ask what else you were thinking we could do, Jushiro-san?”
“Ah, sure, no problem.”
When Rio asked with a hint of curiosity, Jushiro-san’s expression brightened with delight. I had already lost track of everything, so I was confident that asking further would only confuse me more.
“If we can establish an internet environment in the Otherworld, it seems like we could get real-time information from there. You know, Shuu-kun, you’ve been uploading videos, right? It might even be possible to do live broadcasts.”
We could set up surveillance cameras at home, and it seems that all household appliances could be controlled via smartphone. It sounded like there would be more possibilities than I initially thought. From the perspective of modern Japan, even just live footage from the bustling Main Street of the Otherworld might have its own demand.
“Surveillance cameras could be a good idea. Lately, it seems like there have been people meddling around our house.”
While those who directly tried to intrude were chased off by El and Ivan, there might be others plotting something behind the scenes.
“Haha. You could check the surveillance camera footage from your smartphone, but if you have a computer or a TV, you could view multiple feeds on a larger screen simultaneously.”
“Oh, really?”
As Jushiro-san pointed to the computer in front of him, El’s interest in it seemed to grow even more, and she nodded enthusiastically.
“You’ve been nodding for a while now, but do you understand what any of this means…?”
Rio muttered quietly, but of course, El wouldn’t understand since it was in Japanese.
“Speaking of which, Elvirinos-san… I heard you don’t understand Japanese, but you seem very interested in the computer.”
As Jushiro-san pointed to the computer and asked El, she nodded and replied with a clumsy “Hai” in broken Japanese.
Do you understand what Jushiro-san is saying?
No, not at all.
“Bufoh!”
Rio’s question in the Otherworld Language prompted Ivan, who had been quietly observing, to burst out laughing. When translated into Japanese, Jushiro-san joined in the laughter as well.
“It seems like she’s studying Japanese. She also appears to be quite interested in computers.”
“Hahaha, that’s quite enthusiastic! But even if she learns to use a computer in the Otherworld, the things printed out will still be unreadable to the locals, right?”
“That’s true.”
I wondered if Jushiro-san had plans to introduce computers to the Otherworld. Suddenly, I found myself contemplating what would happen if Mesaria-san and the others mastered computers to run their organization.
…It feels like a terrifyingly powerful organization would emerge in the Otherworld. If Wi-Fi could be established, we could even send photos and videos in real-time, right?
While the significance of the smartphones I created would diminish, the potential for something truly frightening seemed to be on the horizon.
“How about we localize the computer? It wouldn’t be too difficult to enable input in the Otherworld Language.”
“Eh?”
At Jushiro-san’s words, an involuntary sound escaped my lips.
Inputting the Otherworld Language on a computer? Is that even possible? Wait, does that mean the strongest organization in the world could actually become a reality?
“Adapting various applications to support the Otherworld Language might take some time, though.”
“No, no, that’s a bit too much.”
“Is it? Thanks to you, it seems like an Otherworld boom is about to happen. …Hmm, it might not be a bad idea after all. I think I’ll be asking for your help with this soon, so would it be alright to count on you then?”
“Um, yes, that’s fine, but…”
It seemed like something had been decided in Jushiro-san’s mind, but I had no idea what it was. What exactly is this Otherworld boom? I can’t help but feel it has something to do with Phonia’s videos, but is it really that popular?
The world of the Majin Tribe connected to our Dungeon doesn’t seem to be recognized that much, so when they say “Otherworld boom,” it must refer to the world we came from.
“Oh, it seems our meeting partner has arrived. They’re being guided to another room, so we should head over as well.”
“Yes, understood.”
Thus, we followed Jushiro-san as he led us to the meeting place.
