Chapter 566 – Trancon
“S-sorry.”
Lynette, who had jumped up in surprise when she heard that Chaos was my daughter, sat down with her face blushing.
I don’t know if it was the fact that I have a pretty daughter, or some other reason… But I was more surprised than I expected.
“It’s a pilot department.”
Chaos said, looking meaningfully at Lynette.
“Pilot department?”
“This is a faculty that trains military horsemanship pilots.”
If it was a magic trick, I knew it too.
I knew that only the Zephyria Army operated various magic devices.
“This is an undergraduate school that trains elites to join the military. Look, the school uniforms are different.”
Come to think of it… Lynette was wearing a uniform that was almost black, different from Chaos, and on her left chest was a round emblem that looked like a planet.
‘Elite? Why did a kid like that join Rebellion?’
… If she was discovered to be active in Rebellion, Lynette’s elite life could have been greatly affected.
Risking her own future and doing such a dangerous thing… She’s not even 100 years old? Unfortunately, he is a young and energetic Zephyrian.
Since life expectancy is long, does mental age also follow suit?
“… He looks like he’s in a higher grade than me, so I guess you could say he’s a senior.”
I knew that Zepia Academy had up to 10th grade for each level of education.
‘… Chaos’s education level was elementary or middle school… What grade was it? I may or may not have heard this before…’
I thought Chaos was too uninterested to ask that and would get upset, so I decided to keep her mouth shut.
For some reason, ever since Linette heard that Chaos was my daughter, she has been restless like a mouse in front of a cat.
“Senior Lynette. Do you at least want to go to the bathroom?”
“Oh, no…”
Lynette was showing an anxious appearance, unable to even meet Chaos’s eyes.
“Senior Lynette. Could it be…”
“Gulp, gulp… Say it.”
Lynette looks at Chaos, swallowing her dry saliva with a tense look on her face. Even though he was a senior, he was a very humble person.
Is it possible to serve in the military like that?
“Do you participate in any club activities?”
“Uh, none.”
For some reason, Lynette seemed a little relieved after hearing Chaos’ words.
“That’s great. Then, would you like to join our mystery research club?”
“Yes?”

When asked to join Chaos’s club, Lynette said she would think about it. However, if you think about the personalities of Chaos and Lynette…
I was wondering if Lynette would join the mystery research club in the wake of Chaos’ push.
Lynette is a person who seems to be sincere if a stranger stops her on the street and asks her to take a survey.
“I was looking for a member because the club was still short of members. It is not easy to find someone trustworthy. Since she had the master’s guarantee… I just decided that she was a good talent. She would need a probationary period, but if she was there, there would be no problem. You will be able to pass the president’s test.”
When asked why he suddenly wanted Lynette to join the club, Chaos answered that way.
Do I just have to pass the exam to participate in club activities… Why bother when guys like Omarun and Umaroon are also taking up a spot?
Chaos had already confirmed Lynette’s membership in the club. Apparently, Lynette was a pushover… No, she seemed like a good person.
Considering Lynette’s personality, I think she would be caught and manipulated by Veronica or Chaos.
The next day.
On her second guardian training attendance, Gabia disappeared with only a glimpse of her face. She seemed a little relieved to see me faithfully attending.
Thinking that Gabia’s doubts had been resolved to some extent, I left the attendance of her education to Celestia’s incarnation and headed to Trancon.

『Entering Trancon.』
I opened my eyes after hearing the voice of the camping car’s artificial intelligence navigation system. I can see Suni sleeping while hugging me.
Is Sunni really sleeping?
The more I thought about Suni and Chaos, who behaved like humans, the more fascinating they seemed.
One is a spirit-like being and the other is a metal life form? Because it was.
Is it a living thing?
But that was something I couldn’t figure out until I thought about it deeply. And knowing that, what should I do?
Unfortunately, there was no interest in researching such things.
Celestia was half-lying on the bed opposite her and seemed to be watching something using Link.
When Suni bought a large camping car that resembles a large bus, I thought she was overthinking it… But now I want to praise her foresight.
Driving is autonomous, and you can reach your destination just by lying down, so it couldn’t be more comfortable for long trips.
“I want to look outside”
『I will lift the barrier.』
With the voice of artificial intelligence, the black window became transparent and began to illuminate the outside.
The bus camping car was flying over Trancon.
“Have we arrived?”
Suni wakes up, hugs my neck from behind and looks out her window.
“Wow… It’s completely rural?”
It was just as Sunni said.
A land made up of grasslands and forests.
On it, on the European side of the Earth, things like quiet and peaceful rural villages were located here and there.
The buildings, which feel a bit plain compared to other cities, seem to blend in quite well with the surrounding natural scenery.
There was no fancy feeling of a big city.
So should we say it is rather fresh?
Chaos and Veronica were not brought.
It would be correct to say that I couldn’t bring him.
In order to bring the two, quite a few issues had to be resolved. This is because they could not be brought in the name of club activities like before.
The only way was to use Celestia’s incarnation… But there were too many obstacles.
Veronica attends the academy. She does, and she lives with her mom.
In a situation where she is in contact with so many acquaintances, there is a significant risk in replacing Veronica with the incarnation of Celestia.
However, it would be a waste of time to wait for me to receive guardian training and build Gabia’s trust.
Fortunately, when I told Veronica about it, she understood. Instead, we decided to share the information obtained from Trancon.
Of course, the plan was for Celestia to go to the trancon alone.
Currently, at Zephia’s house, the incarnation left behind by Celestia is playing Sunni.
A flying bus and camping car passes through the takeoff and landing tollgate and runs on the road.
On the left is a dense forest.
On the right, an open green field and a blue sky above it.
‘You probably made this too, right?’
These guys do a lot of strange things.
With this level of technology, why do we leave the earth in a desolate state?
Because of the devils?
There seems to be some reason to say that.
Our first destination was a place called ‘Yetville’, one of Trancon’s villages.
According to Sunni, who conducted preliminary research, it appears that there are no Zephyria military facilities in Trancon.
When Suni said that there were no military facilities, he meant that the only important security facilities that he could not access were those of acceptable public institutions such as banks, public security offices, and city halls.
Zephyria’s military facilities control a wide area quite blatantly, so it was not difficult to guess their location using a simple elimination method.
However, Suni said that he did not see a single such suspicious place in Trancon.
Facilities that may contain Helena’s information are controlled by the military.
The fact that there are no military facilities in Trancon may be because there is no information about Helena there.
But if you think about it another way, aren’t there traces of Helena that even the military didn’t notice? I was also able to think hopeful thoughts.
Or, there may be military facilities hidden in the forest or underground that the Sunni cannot check.
When seen from above, Yetteville had an atmosphere more like a European country village than a city.
There was no tall building itself.
I don’t know if there is a limit, but I couldn’t see any buildings higher than 5 stories.
Well… Actually, even if it were a village, it was at the level of Panthera’s Ramona.
“Where are you going?”
“The first time, of course…”
“As expected?”
“It must be real estate, right?”
“Real estate?”
Zephyria has a fairly good online real estate industry.
The house we bought on Zepia was also purchased online. However, this does not mean that there are no offline real estate offices.
The reason I looked for a real estate agent was because I thought there might be something that only locals know about.
“… You mean the oldest villa?”
The real estate agent looked shocked at my question.
“I would like you to give me a list of all the villas that are adjacent to rivers or lakes, even if they are not for sale. And I would also like you to tell me the oldest one among them.”
The broker blinks at my strange request.
I took out a wad of money in front of him.
“Oh my! Teacher! You mean the villa? I’ll pull out a list right away! Please wait a moment!”
A real estate agent whose expression rapidly brightens and whose back bends 90 degrees.
The way the world worked, both here and on Earth, was similar.
