Chapter 206 The selection of the women, the sacrifice of the women! And then… Grefia came in first?!
The party carriage of the Starry Sky Train was now incredibly lively.
The girls sitting around the bar chatted and enjoyed the various drinks and snacks that Grefia had brought.
People from other worlds, like Haruhime Sanjou and Ais Wallenstein, are very popular. I talked a lot with Asuna Yuuki.
However, the most active one was Nyaruko, the alien who had transformed into a beautiful girl, who kept recording everyone's conversation in her phone's notepad.
You can see her ahoge (cowlick) constantly swaying, showing great interest in descriptions of dungeon adventures, underworld ranking battles, other dimensions, and antigenic animals.
After learning about it, Nyaruko proudly began to explain everything she knew—the vastness and wonder of the universe.
Upon hearing this, the girls focused their attention on the alien who liked Kamen Rider.
Being transported to another world is unique, that much is undeniable.
However, the girls who traveled to different dimensions never considered learning about the universe they lived in.
Hearing everyone say that, Nyaruko stroked her chin and nodded repeatedly.
"That seems to be the case... In the light novels I've read, human authors always give their characters the ability to travel between worlds, without ever having them use that power to explore the universe."
"Actually, it's normal. After all, traveling to another world and exploring the boundless universe are two different genres. I think the former is fantasy and the latter is science fiction. That's about it."
Tajo Neko followed Nyaruko's train of thought and offered her own analysis.
Upon hearing this, Akeno, Asuna, and Ais joined the conversation, each expressing their own thoughts.
Mai and Yukino, who were enjoying their cakes on the side, also became curious about the universe that Nyaruko had mentioned, and wanted to know if there was any more information.
This made Nyaruko excitedly talk about her teacher, brother, classmates, and company.
Simply put, they are all characters and locations from the Cthulhu Mythos...
In this light, the Cthulhu Mythos is indeed a novel that records the existence of extraterrestrials.
At least that's how it's set up in this world.
Baili listened to everyone's conversation and finished the drink in his glass.
Seeing this, Grefia, as the head maid, skillfully closed the distance, holding a bottle of wine in her hands, the bottle's mouth now pointed at Baili's glass.
"Lord Baili, would you like another cup?"
"Sure, you can have a drink too."
“I have work to do now… but since it is Lord Baili’s request, please allow me to take a short rest.”
Gloria, who had been invited by Baili, also poured herself a glass.
As the two gently clinked glasses, they glanced at the girls who were excitedly discussing the universe and other worlds.
At that moment, Asuna Yuuki finished her orange juice and asked curiously...
"Just now, I heard Miss Haruhime talk about the world she originally lived in. There was a dungeon there, inhabited by a large number of monsters. It brought wealth to adventurers, but also posed a threat to the world. So... are those monsters more powerful than the monsters in space?"
"I'm not entirely sure about that, but according to records, monsters that escaped from the dungeon in the past had the power to easily destroy a city."
Haruhime gave an answer.
For example, the black dragon that was previously defeated.
Faced with these explanations, Nyaruko burst into laughter.
"what's wrong?"
Tajo Neko looked at Nyaruko, whose ahoge (cowlick) was swaying.
The beautiful young goddess, hands on her hips, confidently stated...
"A monster of the cosmic level is definitely much stronger than a monster in a dungeon in another world."
"Why do you say that?"
Mai couldn't help but ask.
"Is it because they all have high-tech weapons? In the movies I've seen, many aliens have spaceships and weapons that are many times more advanced than those of humans."
Yotsuya Miko suddenly joined the conversation.
Hearing her say that, Xue had a different opinion.
"No matter how advanced the technology is, there are still bottlenecks. After all, technology needs to follow the laws of physics, while magic and the like do not have this limit."
"Hmph, what this young lady says makes some sense, but our universe doesn't rely solely on technology!"
Nyaruko, who didn't completely agree with Yukino, laughed.
She then raised her right hand, and a ball of chaotic flame was generated.
"This isn't just my power; it's mixed with the power of destiny that Baili gave me. But that's not the point. The point is... I already possessed this special ability before this. As an elite member of the [Planetary Protection Agency], I've dealt with many guys who tried to cause trouble all over the universe, so I have the power to enforce laws across star systems!"
Nyaruko's meaning is simple: her company covers the entire universe, and each frontline member can travel between different galaxies.
Having realized this, Rias couldn't help but ask...
"Nyaruko, why did you ultimately choose Earth? The universe is so vast, there must have been many other choices, right?"
"Well, even looking at the entire universe, Earth is a very special place, especially when it comes to entertainment! All kinds of anime and games are quite interesting! You absolutely can't miss them!"
……
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Upon hearing this, Baili heard Grefia's gentle voice.
"What are your plans next, Lord Baili? Will you follow the same procedure as before, having them go to your room according to their Destiny Level, and then speak with them individually?"
"That's right. Does Miss Griffith have any better suggestions?"
"Yes, rather than such a clear order, it would be better to choose randomly. I believe no one would complain that way. After all, Lord Baili said to treat everyone equally, so there's no such thing as first come, first served, right?"
"That's true."
Gloria's suggestion was valuable, and Baili chose to adopt it.
While the two were chatting, the girls gathered around Nyaruko began another round of discussion...
The contrast between the alternate world and the universe continues.
Nyaruko is on the side of the universe, and Yotsuya Miko is unexpectedly on her team.
As for the reason...
"Aside from someone as powerful as Mr. Baili, the only thing capable of destroying a country or even a world at will is high technology, right? So I think high technology is more powerful, and aliens have other abilities as well, making them even stronger."
This was Yotsuya Miko's idea.
Upon hearing this, Mai, who was standing next to her, felt that it made a lot of sense...
Yukino's thoughts were the same as before.
"Technology has its limits."
"The upper limit is likely to be higher than that of magic! Hehehe!"
Nyarko grinned mischievously.
Asia, who hadn't joined the discussion until now, spoke up at this moment.
"I think instead of arguing about this, we should all think together about whether we can combine the two forces; for example, using magic to enhance high-tech weapons after they are launched."
This suggestion prompted the girls to think.
Baili also heard Asia's speech.
Enhance high-tech weapons with magic.
For example, a magical nuclear bomb or something?
When combined, this becomes nuclear strike magic, which can destroy enemy fortresses while simultaneously mitigating the pollution from the explosion with magic.
As Hyakuri was lost in thought, Himejima Akeno, who had broken away from the crowd, suddenly appeared beside him.
"Bai Li Jun, according to the rankings, that lady in hemp clothing is number one?"
"No, the plans have changed."
"What has it become?"
Upon hearing Zhu Nai's question, Baili looked at Gloria. (For super exciting novels, visit Feilu Novel Network!)
The head maid had already prepared the lottery tools.
So, while the girls were chatting animatedly, Baili spoke up.
"Regarding the follow-up arrangements, I have changed the plan, and you will need to draw lots to determine the order."
"Really? I have no objection."
Mai Sakurajima did not object and joined the other girls in gathering around Hyakusato 587.
Baili then introduced the lottery tool that Griffith had in her hand.
Each person drew a number one by one and received a slip of paper representing their sequence.
Who will be the first?
"do not know."
Rias and Akeno looked at the slips of paper in each other's hands; they were number five and number seven, respectively.
Asuna and Mai, who were nearby, also didn't draw number one.
"I'm so sorry, ladies, it's me..."
While everyone was wondering what was going on, Grefia held up the note in her hand.
Baili looked at his maid with a subtle expression.
"I didn't cheat."
“I believe Griffith wouldn’t cheat, but… I didn’t expect you to participate in the draw.”
Rias was the first to speak.
As Baili nodded in agreement, he took the note from Grefia's hand.
