Chapter 250 – Pocket Girls
Her ‘Sure I may have pointed out the wrong place for her, so I’ll have to take her in and cross-validate her…’
So Seong-il started reviewing the secret information of the Pocket Girls world once again in order to exchange information with Patricia the next day.
“Whoah… I wonder if I’ll go soon…”
Seong-il reviewed the hidden peace, the secret laboratory, until late the night before. He was in a situation where he studied a lot to find out about the Black Ball Lab, thinking about the difference between 2D and reality.
‘Roughly… I’ve familiarized myself with the characteristics of the hidden area, so I’ll check it out.’
Seong-il, who has collected his thoughts, moves to Patricia’s lab.
“Oh! Seongil-gun, you’re here!”
“Hello!”
“Now…Here is the thing you left behind yesterday.”
“Thank you.”
There were only two of them inside the lab, but they thoroughly hid their purpose in preparation for any unknown variables. Seong-il thinks with a strange expression on Patricia’s personality, which is quite thorough.
‘…Looking at it this way, he’s a pretty smart character, but why does it seem like he’s missing a screw when he talks about it?’
Seong-il, who was thinking so foolishly. Patricia asks him.
“What do you think?”
“Oh… No.”
“By the way, my ballpoint pen…?”
“…I forgot and left it on the mattress I ‘slept on’ yesterday.”
Seong-il subtly says that he left copied materials inside 『Inner Plane』. At his words, Patricia smiled seductively and answered him.
“Oh my, then can we go take a look?”
“Yes, that’s good. I’m going to take a walk outside to cool off a bit.”
“Good~”
The two people thoroughly hid the intention of the conversation in preparation for possible eavesdropping. They finish the conversation and start going outside using the excuse of a walk.
“…Is this enough?”
“Huh… I guess so.”
The two arrive at a secluded place near the shelter on the pretext of taking a walk. Seong-il throws an eyepatch at her.
“…This?”
“I’m sorry, but I didn’t want to tell you the mechanism of my ability.”
“Hehe… You’re thorough~”
“Isn’t it obvious? We held hands for a while for mutual benefit, so we never know when things will go wrong.”
“Well, you’re right. I see.”
She thinks Seong-il’s words make sense, and quietly puts on the eye patch he gave her.
Seong-il, who sees this, takes a light look around, then grabs her hand and casts 『Inner Plane』.
“It’s okay to take off the blindfold now.”
“Huh… Yes.”
At Seongil’s words, Patricia immediately took off her blindfold and looked around. She realizes that she has entered a bizarre space she has been to before.
“Hey… Are you here again?”
“Yes. It’s perfectly safe from outside eyes here.”
“Ohh…”
Patricia’s eyes sparkled with interest at Seongil’s words. Seong-il laughs and takes out her recording device from her arms and shows it to her.
“You must have heard of the uproar yesterday, right?”
“Sure~ Even if you look at it like this, I’m still a researcher at A-02 Shelter.”
“…Then you know if my data is real?”
“I don’t know~ It could be an air system! It could be that copying failed! I’ll have to check it myself~”
“Hmm…”
“…Why? You’re not going to change your mind now, are you?”
Patricia narrowed her eyes narrowly and glared at her holy day. Seong-il continues her words with a bitter smile at her attitude.
“It’s a bit embarrassing to just pass it on. You may not have brought the data I want properly.”
“Aha~ I understand what you mean!”
“…In that sense, I’ll have to go to the place you pointed out first.”
“Ha! You want me to accept that? Are you kidding me?!”
Patricia is enraged at the demands of her holy day, even blushing. Seong-il smiles at her attitude and brings out her mediation plan.
“Do you really need to think hard? You or one of your subordinates can go with me on a field trip to that place.”
“Hmm…”
“If the place I’m looking for is correct, I’ll let you check the data on the spot. How is it?”
“…That doesn’t sound too bad.”
“Right?”
“But… It’s a little bit too much for me to go. If I suddenly leave my seat in the current situation, there’s a lot of potential for suspicion…”
“Ah, I understand.”
“…Remember Leah?”
“Huh.”
“Go with that friend of hers. She’s my direct report, so I have very little contact with her other cadres. If she goes with her, we’ll avoid unnecessary suspicion.”
“Is that so?”
“Of course, it’s a hassle if your identity is revealed, so you have to hide your identity to some extent, right? Wear a mask or…”
“Ah… I think it’s just right. Let’s do that.”
“…Sooner or later, I’ll put you in touch.”
“Yeah. I’m leaving for the B-01 Shelter, so tell me when I’m done!”
“Yes.”
After completing her deal, Seong-il again hands her her eyepatch. Patricia obediently puts on her eyepatch, and Seong-il, who sees it, tries to return to her world of Pocket Girls.
“I’ll just go!”
“Yes~ I hope you have a good adventure.”
Seong-il, who completed the deal with Patricia. He finishes his walk and goes to Dr. Lowe’s lab.
“Seems all right!”
Seong-il visits Dr. Lowe’s lab. He conducted several experiments on telekinesis with the doctor, and when the doctor sees Seong-il using telekinesis without difficulty, he replies with a relieved expression.
“It’s thanks to the doctor!”
“Whoa… I’m only helping you because you’ve done so much work. By the way… Are you going to go to the next shelter now?”
“Yes. I have to. I have to meet the directors of the five shelters and get their recognition…”
“Ha ha! That’s right! By the way… Are you the only partner with that red-haired girl?”
“No! There is one more child named Blue who was rescued from a thief named Taeseong.”
“Oh… I see. But why didn’t you take that friend with you…?”
“…The circumstances in which we met were circumstances, so we weren’t very close…”
At Seong-Il’s muffled words, Dr. Low laughs and takes something out of his arms.
“…That?”
“It’s a prototype version of the new ball we’re working on.”
“Oh oh…!!”
“The catch rate is higher than the previous ball. However, the best thing about this ball is that the captured wild psychic power naturally makes the owner feel good.”
“!!”
At Dr. Lowe’s words, Seong-il naturally realizes that the ball in question is the prototype of the white ball, the opposite of the black ball.
He desperately feigns innocence and asks him cautiously about the ball.
“Wow…! Who the hell made this ball…?! Is it possible to exchange it for a feat like the existing balls?!”
“Um… That’s not it. It’s a prototype version of the ball, so it hasn’t been released on the market, and there’s no plan to release it.”
“Hehe… Can you just give me that ball…?”
Haha! The ball is already nearing completion! Besides, the ball I gave you is an early version, so it’s very different from the ability of the current ball… It’s a ball with poor performance enough to be called a completely different ball. Because of that, you don’t have to worry about technology leaks.”
“…You’re not worried about leaking technology…?”
“That’s right. The ball I gave you only has one of the most core values of the ball we want to make.”
“Hmm…”
“And that value has no merit against our main enemy, Hyperdan.”
“…What is that?”
“It’s simple. Treating people like people.”
“!!”
A short but meaningful word from Dr. Dr. Low seems to understand his meaning and smiles as he continues.
“The ability to make wild psychics happy right away in captivity.”
“Ah…”
“And from the point of view of the Hyper group, the technology must be useless. They see the wild psychics they capture as objects of exploitation.”
“I see… Who the hell is the person who designed such a great ball anyway?”
After Dr. Low explains only the value of the ball, Seong-il desperately asks about the developer.
‘…The White Ball was only handed over by Dr. Woo before the final battle, and nothing was said about the maker. If I could find out about the maker, I might be able to get several whiteballs!’
Seong-il was thinking about the ball for a short time. Dr. Low slightly hardened his expression and answered Seong-il.
“Ummm… I can’t say the identity of the creator is Shelter’s top secret. I’m sure less than ten people in Shelter know about his identity.”
“Aha… I see.”
“Whoa… If you make a big deal out of it, you might meet him! He’s on good terms with Dr. Woo too…”
‘…The producer is a man, and he must have a close relationship with Dr. Woo?’
Although he couldn’t get the specific answer he wanted, Seong-il got at least some information about the white ball maker. He says goodbye to Dr. Lowe, thanking him for even getting a clue.
“Anyway! I’ll put this ball to good use!”
“Yes, yes!
“Yes!”
Seong-il said goodbye to Dr. Lowe and started his journey to B-01 Shelter.
While moving to a new village, Seong-il suddenly remembered his promise to Red to take him out early. He took her off her cheeks to talk to her and was walking with her.
“Hee hee! Drink this!”
“…So?”
And Seong-il handed her her ‘Delicious Coke’ without thinking, and she was drinking it eagerly as her eyes widened after receiving the cola.
‘…The thing that looks like a sexy woman itself.’
Of course, in bed, it was perfectly identical to that image, but other than that, Seong-il smiles while looking at Red like a child.
“Ah!! Seongil-kun!!”
“Huh?”
Then, when someone calls him on a deserted, half-broken asphalt road, Seong-il looks around in a puzzled way.
“It’s been a while! Are you going to the B-01 Shelter too?”
“Uh…?! One?!”
“Oh! Nice to meet you!”
“Oh, well I’m on my way to Shelter B-01.”
“Ohhhhh!! It’s just right!! Let’s go together!!”
“Good~”
Accompanied by a chance encounter. Her Holy Day brings back memories of her long ago intermingling of her flesh with her.
‘His chest was just average… But his silence followed was a harpoon, right? It was almost like Erica…’
Seong-il was always welcome to accompany a woman who would open her crotch without hesitation. Moreover, it was all the more so if the target was a beauty whose youthful charm was excellent.
“What do you think?”
“Ah… Ah… Nothing.”
“Huh… It seemed like he was imagining something…”
“…I must be wrong.”
“Puhaha! It’s naive. Well, I don’t particularly hate sloppy things~”
Hana clings to Seong-il and gently caresses his butt. The time when Seong-il flinched at her bold skinship. One tells her something about her holy day.
“By the way… Do you know that?”
“Huh? What?”
“The ancient ruins leading to the B-02 Shelter are said to be inhabited by wild psychics with tremendous power!”
‘…Come to think of it, two legendary powers were near the road to the B-02 Shelter, right?’
‘The problem is that the entrance is blocked, so I remember that I was able to catch them only after defeating the last boss…’
‘Hmm… But that’s a problem when I proceeded according to the original story, and I don’t think I’ll be able to break through the obstacles now, with all my abilities…?’
As it was originally, the protagonist had to defeat the boss of the hyper group and capture the legendary ability using a special device obtained.
However, I think that Seong-il will be able to break through the obstacles with the various abilities he has acquired while wandering around in other game worlds.
Seeing such a possibility, Seong-il proposes to Hana.
“…Do you want us to go catch one?”
“Eh?! Really?!”
“What can’t you do? And I’ve heard that rumor too, but they say that those talented people are siblings? They’re twins.”
“Wow… Really?!”
“Oh, and there’s a very handsome and beautiful woman…”
“Hoo…”
Hana’s eyes widen with desire at the word handsome. Seeing her like that, Seong-il laughs bitterly and continues her words.
“…So let’s go and get it! I’ll take the girl! You’ll take the boy!”
“Ooh…!! Okay!! Let’s go!! Let’s go!! I know the way to the ruins!”
