Chapter 2085 - What's The Moral Story?
After that party, they didn't immediately go and fight in the Gift Game. Instead, they went on a holiday to a nearby hot spring area on the East Side of the Little Garden.
They had only spent a few days in the Little Garden, and they had fought a lot at the Gift Games.
If Haru didn't give them a holiday, then what was his difference from a slave owner?
Still, if he thought about the legal, economic, military, and cultural customs of the Little Garden, he knew that no one would complain even if they worked for 12 hours a day. However, he wasn't a demon, and he knew that the reason why Izayoi, Asuka, and Yuu were coming to this world was partly that they wanted to have fun, so of course, they needed to have fun.
Haru went on a holiday directly with Asagi, leaving the rest of the members of the "no-name" community on their own. It wasn't that he didn't want to bring them, but it was quite troublesome to bring them, considering their money and transportation method, and a lot more. After all, this world was quite inconvenient since there weren't any trains or buses. Also, even though he had some money in this world, he knew that they weren't in the position to splurge their money since he used a lot of the money to renovate some businesses that he prepared for the "no-name" community.
Unlike in the modern world where he could get money through FOREX or stock, in this world, he couldn't do that, but he could rob someone directly, so he just robbed them, especially he also robbed a lot of money from the community of Perseus before.
'Somehow, it reminds me of when I was still in Shin's world, huh?'
Haru thought that his stay in the Little Garden was quite similar to his stay in Jin's world since the technology was backward. He then the barren land of the "no-name" community and thought that he needed to return it to how it used to be and planted either fruit, rice, or something else.
Still, before that, Haru was going to enjoy his little trip with Asagi in the most expensive room in the hot spring area of the East Side of the Little Garden.
Haru looked at Asagi, who sat between his legs and felt a bit speechless, but he didn't say much until he noticed her expression was a bit weird. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, but it just feels strange," Asagi said with a sigh.
"What's so strange?" Haru asked curiously.
"It's just that it might be the longest time that I haven't touched my laptop," Asagi said with a complex expression. Usually, every day, she would be in front of her laptop or computer, but in this world, she had never touched either her laptop or computer. However, it was normal since there was no internet in this world, and a laptop or a computer was also useless since there wasn't internet in this world.
As for electricity or electrical appliances, there were some of them, but they could be used by either ability or magic.
Asagi remembered that there should be a television and a lamp, but one thing was for sure, the technology level of this world was quite strange. Some of them were advanced, but some of them were old, which somehow made her feel that this world was so unique.
"Now that you mention it, it has been a while since you have touched your laptop or computer." Haru also felt a bit weird when he thought that Asagi didn't touch her laptop or computer.
Asagi leaned on Haru's chest and let out a sigh. "Do you think that a computer or a laptop is useful in this world?"
"I think it is useful," Haru said.
"Oh? Really? There's no internet, you know? What can you do about it?" Asagi asked curiously.
"We can play a game," Haru said with a smile.
"....." Asagi.
"I was joking. However, you can write a report or document with it, right? After all, you should know how troublesome it is to write by using a pen," Haru said speechlessly when he thought that the people in this world were still writing by using a pen, and somehow he understood why the price of a book was so high in the Little Garden.
"Do you have a paper to print those documents?" Asagi suddenly asked with a speechless expression.
"Sorry, I forgot." Haru was speechless since he only remembered that there was no factory in this world, and even if there was paper, the production was quite slow, and he was sure that there was no paper with the size of his printer, especially when he recalled the color of the paper was still yellow in this world.
"Still, why do you think this happens?" Asagi asked.
"Hmm?"
"I mean... there is a big gap between technologies and culture. Some parts of this world are modern, but some parts of the world are so backward. Why do you think that it happens?" Asagi asked.
"If you ask me that, then I can only say that it is because mythology is affecting this world," Haru said.
"Mythology?"
"You can see that there's a lot of deities or Gods in this world, right? They have been living in this Little Garden for so long even Shiroyasha and Leticia have been living for 1000+ years. It can be said that they're the rules of the Little Garden, right? If we consider their power, authority, and influence, right?"
"Well, that's true, but what does it have to do with this gap of technology?" Asagi asked.
"1000+ years ago, do you think that there was a television?" Haru asked.
"...." Asagi.
"Old people don't like a change. They're comfortable with what they have done before, so even if there's something that can make their lives more convenient, they are reluctant to accept it since something has been ingrained into their bodies. In other words, they're stubborn and too lazy to learn," Haru said simply.
"....." Asagi looked at Haru and asked, "So is that a bad thing?"
"If they don't have power, then they might be eliminated by the natural election, but they have power, and they can do whatever they want since no one can beat them," Haru said.
"So the moral of this story is that as long as you have power, you can do anything, huh?" Asagi said with a sigh.
"You're not wrong there." Haru patted Asagi's head and thought for a moment. "Still, I think that there might be a way to use your power in this world."
"Really?" Asagi was surprised and asked quickly.
"Yeah, but how about we go to our room to rest?" Haru asked with a smile.
"...."
Asagi looked at Haru helplessly then rolled her eyes, but she didn't complain since she also wanted to do this too.
With that said, they left their hot spring pool and entered their room to do an enjoyable workout.
