It''s aputer...n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Aputer is in front of me...
"...What the actual fuck?" My brows knitted together as I took in the absurdity of the situation.
...Since when didputers bemon in this world?
No, in the first ce, how is there aputer here?
"...Life signature detected."
The emotionless feminine voice echoed once again, drawing my focus to theputer, which wasrge enough to cover an entire table.
Peering around, I noticed small runes emitting a golden light.
It wasn''t bright but sufficient for me to see everything.
"Neilll!!"
"Yeah."
"I''ming in."
"..."
Giving the ce onest look, I turned around and moved out.
As soon as I stepped outside, my gaze fell on the girl in a maid uniform climbing down the chain hanging in the air.
...What is she?
A cat?
"...Did you find something?" she asked,nding on her feet as I helped her by grabbing her around her waist.
"...Well, I did," I mumbled in reply, looking up as Elysia also started to climb down.
She quickly joined us, as did Linda, before they all looked at me.
"...Inside." I pointed at the opening, and they nodded, entering one by one.
"...Life signature detected."
"....Woah."
A soft exmation escaped from Elysia''s mouth as theputer''s voice echoed once again.
''...Is theputer busted?''
I mused, moving towards theputer while the rest moved around.
It was essentially the same as I remembered from my past life, with the only difference being that I couldn''t see any cables or anything providing power for it to work.
Perhaps it had been here for a long time; the screens were not properly responding, glitching on their own without any apparent reason.
Curiously, I extended my hand to touch the keys, but nothing happened. It might be jammed or not functioning properly due to age.
But then again...
...What''s with this ce?
"...Hey, Neil."
"Yeah?"
I looked at Elysia as her voice echoed from the back.
"...What''s this?" she asked, pointing at something that looked like an exhaust pipe.
It seemed to be connecting the outer area where we were to something inside—a ce we couldn''t see.
"...Hmm." I hummed softly before pointing at theputer, "...Have you seen anything like this before?"
"...Not really...I think, I don''t recall seeing anything like this."
So...they haven''t seen aputer.
Wait, why am I even asking?
I should have seen it already if it wasmon back in the Phoenix n.
"...Is it some kind of data management machine?" I shifted my focus towards Nadya as she mumbled those words, looking at theputer.
"...Kind of."
How should I exin to them what aputer is?
"...If it is, then I can''t think of anyone other than those guys who can make this," Nadyamented, looking at me while folding her arms,
unknowingly emphasizing her breasts...or maybe she knew what she was doing.
"...The elves?" Elysia asked, her eyes widening in realization.
"...Yep, only they can make something like this," Nadya replied, nodding her head.
...She does have a point, I guess.
''Elves, huh?''
This was the second time I was seeing traces of elves in this ce.
The ring Elvennguage on the entrance door, and now this...
But if I remember correctly, there was nothing about elves in this ce in the game...
Then why?
''...Not to forget the dream I had.''
Thatdy with ck hair and golden eyes... I didn''t see her ears, but maybe she was an elf as well.
"...That reminds me, Neil," Elysia''s voice resonated, making me look at her. But as soon as I noticed the grin on her face, "...How is Sarya doing these days?"
"..."
She really had to mention her.
"...Tell her, Neil~" Nadya encouraged me, "...Tell her how that elf bitch is doing?"
''...At least try to hide your jealousy.''
I grumbled in my thoughts, ncing at the girl who walked towards me with a smile on her face that didn''t reach her eyes.
"...She is doing good," I mumbled, looking at Elysia, who was enjoying her sister''s reaction.
"...I see, I haven''t heard anything from her in a while," she replied, nodding her head, "...Is she still training?"
"...Yeah."
Whispering softly, I moved towards theputer while trying to ignore the girl walking behind me.
"...Life signature detected."
The voice echoed once again, startling Nadya as she skipped some steps to stand beside me.
"...Should I try?" Nadyamented, looking at the keyboard ced below.
"...Be my guest." Shrugging, I gestured for her to do whatever she wanted.
"Okay~."
She replied softly with a smile before shifting her focus to theputer, pressing random keys.
Elysia also sneakily moved towards us, ring at Nadya.
"...How did you find this ce anyway?" While watching Nadya running her fingers over the keys, Elysia asked.
"...I saw it from above," I replied, looking at Nadya as well.
"...How?" she asked again, now looking at me, "...I tried to look from above, but it was barely visible."
"...I guess I have better eyesight," I rebuked with a light smirk, making her re at me.
"...Neil," Nadya''s soft voice broke my focus as I looked at her, "...Rememberst week''s talk about your abilities?"
"...What about it?" Frowning, I asked as she brought up a very old topic.
"...There was something about your space ability," she said, still clicking keys, "...Every node—they are always connected with each other."
"...And?"
"...I''m saying that if your space ability is connected, then what''s stopping your other abilities from being connected?" she replied, looking deeply into my eyes, "...It''s been on my mind since I met your mother."
...Wait, is she saying that like my space ability, my time ability is also somehow connected with each other?
No, that''s not important—
"...Life signature detected—voice recognition activated."
My thoughts trailed off as theputer''s emotionless feminine voice echoed inside the chamber.
"...What is your name?"
"...Ede—"
"I know! Monkey King Eden!!"
"...Seriously?"
I asked, ring at Nadya, who shouted that at the top of her lungs.

"...Sorr—ouch ouch!!"
Ignoring her apology, I grabbed both her cheeks, stretching them in opposite directions like some kind of marshmallow.
"...Wrong answer—voice recognition activated—what is your name?"
"...Jade Emperor Eden."
Squeezing her cheeks once again, I let go only after they werepletely red, but that still didn''t stop her frommenting.
"...Wrong answer—voice recognition activated—what is your name?"
"...Eden Morton," I replied atst, looking around the ce.
"...Wrong answer—"
"...Well, that''s given," I mumbled, shrugging my shoulders.
What was I thinking, telling my name to the machine anyway?
It''s my first time being here.
"...Neil."
"...What?"
"...No, I mean try Neil." I looked at Nadya weirdly as she suggested seriously.
"...Then what about the surname?"
"...Didn''t you get one in the Phoenix n?"
"...Right." I mumbled, taking a deep breath before opening my eyes, "...Neil Baln Rosalind."
"...Correct answer—ess granted."
"....."
My mouth remained half-open as a small door opened in front of us and theputer''s screen started to turn brighter.
"...Looks like we''re going to find something good," Nadyamented with a smile, closing my mouth with her hand.
"...How?" Only Elysia matched my confusion as she asked with an absurd look on her face.
''...Edda.''
[....Yes?]
''...Don''t tell me—''
[....I have no idea, but it''s highly possible that it''s ''your'' doing.]
''...Fuck!''
I cursed in my mind, entering the spacious room that was on the other side of the door.
Ignoring the uneasiness I was feeling, I entered first, followed by the girls. And...
The first thing I saw after entering was...
A dead body lying on a chair.
