Chapter 427 – Mission

Hestia went back after getting dinner from me.
Meeting Ramona as soon as she arrived was unexpected for her. It seemed like her suspicions, which had disappeared due to this incident, had returned.
Although I gave a rough excuse to Hestia, it cannot be said that her suspicions were completely resolved.
I think it will probably hover by my side again for a while.
It was time to log out.
As she moved from Crea to Ramona, she never once logged out. Of course, I couldn’t log out when I didn’t know when a monster would come out.
Considering that neither Sunni nor Chaos have woken me up so far, it seems like there hasn’t been any major incidents in the Demon World yet.
Since I’ve been here for quite a long time, I’m starting to wonder about the situation outside.
“Karen, you won’t wake up for a day or two. If Hestia comes, she asks for it.”
After hearing what I said, Karen nodded her head kindly.
I don’t know exactly why, but Karen knew that when I fell asleep, she was completely defenseless.
Ramona is a city with good security.
She took a room at an inn there, and since there didn’t seem to be any major threats, she decided to log out for a moment.
〔Check again that you have placed your avatar in a safe place.〕
〔Do you want to log out?〕
I came out of the virtual reality capsule and headed to the living room on the first floor.
The house was quiet.
It seemed like everyone was going out.
Simple food was laid out on the kitchen table. It looked similar to curry.
It was covered with something that looked like a glass cover.
There is a large holographic text floating on the cover.
“Master. If you’re hungry, eat it.”
It seemed like it was prepared by Suni, who has recently developed a taste for cooking.
Food inside a glass cover preserves its original state for a long time. It can be said to be the amazing technology of the demons.
Since there were clothes prepared for us, we sat down and started eating.
“Is it real curry…”
The taste was similar.
It was when I was eating deliciously with the radish radish radish that was on the side as a side dish.
-Tiring.
A cheerful alarm rang on the smartphone.
Looking at something, it was a message from Rebellion.
In addition, I could see messages accumulated while I was in Pantera.
Three or four are messages from Rebellion.
And the rest are spam messages.
Even in the Demon World, spam messages could not be avoided.
I deleted and blocked spam and looked at messages from Rebellion.
The message Rebellion sent was unclear whether it was a mission or a cooperation message.
Some of them were already out of date.
All I could accept was the message that had just arrived.
「Lily: Emergency mission. March 28th. Estimated time required: 20 hours.”
Lili is a cute name that is short for Rebellion.
She had already heard from Claire that Rebellion would send a message under the name Lili.
Could it be that they judged it to be dangerous to send a message that was openly called Rebellion?
I liked that the estimated mission time was listed. This was essential information for me as I could not leave my avatar alone for too long.
In the meantime, I joined an organization called Rebellion and never did a single mission.
As Cowra said, there was no pressure on the mission.
First, you will receive a simple message like this, and you just have to answer whether you want to accept it or not.
It seems to be a system that receives mission applicants first.
I heard from Suni that they also receive missions with a similar feeling.
‘March 28th… Is today. So, is it an emergency mission?’
I had just finished logging into Pantera, and with the estimated mission time being around 20 hours, it was worth a try.
An acceptance message was sent.
Not long after, a reply came back.
「Zepia Station. Exit 2. 23 o’clock. Letera.”
Zeppia Station is where you arrive by train when coming here.
“What is letera?”
When I searched it on my smartphone, it appeared to be the name of a franchise restaurant. Of course, I don’t even know where Exit 2 of Zeppia Station, which I stopped by once, is located.
Still, I’m not worried.
The technology of the demons was quite advanced, and of course they had good navigation, so getting there was a piece of cake as long as you had a smartphone.

The interior, where numerous machines are placed, looks like a data center, and in some ways gives off a laboratory-like atmosphere.
Claire was looking at several screens floating in the air.
She recovered the android that attacked Bark and began analysis.
After hearing Bark’s words, she took another close look at the movements of forces that could pose a threat to Rebellion, but she could not find anything suspicious.
“This… No matter how you look at it, I don’t think we were the target…”
It was a somewhat sloppy operation to say that it was aimed at Rebellion.
The order given to the security androids was to subdue Bark.
If things had gone as planned, there might have been more, but it seemed like she erased all traces after realizing that the androids had failed.
“I said there was no grudge relationship…”
If you can operate an unmanned taxi and secretly move this number of security androids… You must be a powerful person in Zefia.
Of course she also did Bark’s research.
He is a human who has never been to Zephia before.
It is also strange that such a person has a grudge relationship with a person in power in Zefia, and if something like that happened, of course something should come out.
Claire looked at the battle data in the security androids’ storage devices.
She zooms in on one of the screens floating in front of her. Bark was seen destroying the android using only his body.
It was data that remained in the visual storage device of the security androids.
The sight of the security androids being destroyed was more fun than most action movies.
“Wow! Does it look real? Wasn’t it a designed body? Is it a body enhancement type of ability? There are no records of plastic surgery…”
At first, I thought he had had plastic surgery after seeing Bark’s excessively large physique. But when I saw him fighting, it wasn’t like that.
It is a movement that cannot be achieved through acquired modification.
In the first place, a body as large as Bark was not the one preferred by demons. And it is quite difficult to adapt to such a large change in not just the appearance itself, but the body itself.
There was no feeling of a plastic human being in his movements.
-Tiring.
A notification appeared on one side of the screen along with a cheerful sound.
Claire’s eyes sparkled with interest when she saw the alarm message.
“Hmm? You finally accepted? Shall we take a look at our new rookie’s skills?”

『Bark. Would you like to go out?』
As I opened the front door to leave, a calm woman’s voice asked me.
It is artificial intelligence that manages the household.
I don’t think we said anything before…
『Suni has prepared a vehicle. Would you like to use it?』
‘Sunni guy… Did you buy a car?’
I think they made preparations after hearing that the taxi went to the wrong place and was attacked.
A car with a sleek body came out of the garage and stopped in front of me.
What was unusual was that the car was floating without wheels.
I sat in the back seat of the car.
『Please tell me your destination.』
“Zepia Station.”
『I will move to my destination.』
The ride was quiet and there was no shaking.
I arrived at Zeppia Station, enjoying a comfortable ride. When I got out of the car, the car disappeared to park on its own.
“The world has become so much better.”
Honestly, it’s more comfortable to live on than Earth.
By following the navigation provided by the smartphone, I was able to arrive at my destination without difficulty.
The store called Letera was not crowded, but quite a few people were taking up seats.
Looking at the atmosphere, it appeared to be a normally run fast food restaurant.
Anyway, I was told to come here, so I sat down at an appropriate table.
-Tiring.
As I sat down, I received a message from Rebellion.
Rebellion sent photos of two people’s faces.
It wasn’t Kaura or Claire.
It was the first time I saw them.
One was a cute woman, and the other was a young man. Anyway, the age of the demon’s face cannot be trusted.
I guess these guys are the people who will go on a mission with me.
I looked at the time.
「22 : 24」
There were still over 30 minutes left until the appointment time.
Since it was my first time, I left with plenty of time to spare, but I think I arrived too early.
I had a lot of time left, and I decided to try some of the demons’ fast food.
Even though I ate the meal that Suni prepared at home… I was confident that I could eat more than the Korean mukbang YouTuber with this superior body. I just had to restrain myself.
When you press the flashing notification on one side of your smartphone, a menu that allows you to order from this restaurant appears.
I don’t know if there is a kiosk, but at all restaurants, you can easily order using your smartphone.
『The menu you ordered has arrived.』
Was it about 2 minutes? A serving robot half-floating in the air approaches and places a hamburger set on the table.
I don’t know if it’s a real hamburger.
They only call it that because it looks like a hamburger.
I tore off the packaging and took a bite.
-Mumble… Mumble…
“It looks like a hamburger… Even the fries… It’s perfect.”
The taste of the Majokpyo hamburger was better than I expected.
As I was eating a hamburger, a demon with a cute face came into the store and looked around. Then he was surprised to see me and approached me cautiously.
She was one of the two people in the photo received from Rebellion.
