MTL - After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King-Chapter 404 habits and preferences

   "Master Yila said that things are ready."

As Tekap said so, she changed into the maid outfit she often wore on the main plane, reminding Raphael (female) who has hardly changed her image (referring to the armor), and said: "When you leave later , don’t struggle, or you might be crushed.”

"ok, I got it."

  Raphael responded. He looked at Tekap who was about to go out, and asked his long-time roommate calmly: "Where are you going? Are you not waiting to return to the main plane?"

Regarding Raphael's doubts, Tekap also made a simple response: "I'll go and play with the Krakens who just came here, and ask what's going on with [The Calamity of the Sea], so that it won't be too late. I need to trouble Lord Ira to explain to me."

  Is that so?

   "Then I'll go out too."

  Listening to Rafael's words, Tekap asked curiously: "Are you also going to learn about the outside world? Then you want to go find the sea monster with me? They all died not long ago."

   If you want to talk about the external situation, Rafael is far more concerned than Tekap. He knows everything about the [Conference of Kings] and what Ira has done recently, so he is not going to grind his guns in front of the battle.

   "No, I'm just going to find something to eat."

   Raphael, who said so, quickly disappeared on the street that is always dark... Although it is night, the surroundings are very bright, and the Federation is always like this.

  The stars in the sky are tightly packed, and replaced by man-made domes. Whether it is raining, snowing or anything else, they are all artificially simulated and can be changed according to human will.

  Dark, yet bright...Sealed, yet free...

  …

  Extreme, beautiful, convenient, but stiff... People have lost their pursuit of the future.

  Although it is possible to criticize this aspect, if one leaves such a world, no one will feel used to it... It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.

   "It's no wonder that Ira's persistence is so firm."

Raphael was walking on the streets full of neon lights and street lights. He was talking to himself, then shook his head to indicate to the AI ​​beings who belonged to the [Final AI Judgment, Good and Evil Collaborative Automata]...to indicate him The soliloquy is not needing help.

   "Tekap and I, after leaving here and returning to the main plane, will we probably miss this world too?"

Raphael, who made a clear judgment like this, subconsciously wanted to think about whether the gods had any enlightenment for him... Then, he immediately realized that there was no, the instructions given by the gods to the heavenly paladins were only to protect younger brothers and sisters, to protect the world itself.

  Even the gods still expect the children to have a happy life.

  In other words…

  "The will of the gods, the miracles of the gods...Are we always practicing...?"

  Raphael said softly to himself, but then he shook his head and walked into the noodle restaurant with a beautiful neon sign... Raphael is already a Raphael who lives for himself.

   No need to worry about God's worries... He is not God.

   "Boss, come to a bowl of Yangchun noodles."

  Rafael greeted, and then quietly looked at the flow of people coming and going at the door. Although during this time, he also tasted many noodles, rotten meat noodles, fried fish noodles, but eating...

I don’t know why, but I still feel that Yila brought me here for the first time. This noodle shop with a physical facade, the Yangchun noodles here are the best... There are no toppings, no side dishes, the taste is very fresh but not special delicious.

  But the soup is clear...it just has a nice taste.

   It’s no wonder that Yila said at that time that he would come to eat every week...

   While Raphael was thinking, a bowl of Yangchun noodles sprinkled with scallions was brought to him.

"thanks."

  Raphael replied like this. He looked at the noodle shop owner who was dressed very well in front of him... To be honest, he is already a regular customer here.

  Raphael has tentatively realized that [credit points] are equivalent to gold coins on the main plane... But after the destruction of civilization, there is no need for such things as credit points in Ira's soul.

  The owner of the noodle shop in front of him is not an AI who is in charge like many shops, he is a pure human being... Although from now on, like AI, he only has a soul.

   "Boss, obviously you can't earn credit points anymore, why are you still making noodles?"

  Raphael asked this question, which is very rare...Because no matter in the previous federation or the current Ira soul federation, no one would easily ask about other people's private affairs.

   Very civilized, but also alienated... It is very likely that neighbors do not know their names and appearances.

  However, for Rafael, the person Ira brought to eat noodles, the boss is still very interested in casual conversations, but only casual conversations: "Because of habit."

   "Get used to... well..."

While Raphael was pondering, the owner of the noodle shop added a chopstick of noodles to Raphael, and after Raphael responded [thank you], he added: "Of course there is [like], the one who opened the playground Is it still open, the game hall is also open..."

"From the very beginning, I didn't open a store just to earn credit points... If I really want to earn money, the position of reviewing advertisements has always been short of people, and I can make a lot of money easily... You are from outside the Federation, let me tell you It's okay to talk."

"The Commonwealth is not a place where if you don't work hard, you will live a bad life. From the very beginning...no one needs to live under anyone's coercion. Most of what we do is because—I am happy .”

   "Hahaha~"

   After finishing speaking, the boss laughed loudly. Amidst the laughter of the guests, he shrugged and returned to the back kitchen, and began to prepare the next ingredients... Raphael was left thinking about something while eating the noodles.

   Live because you want to live, live because you want to live, live because you want to...exist.

  A group of lazy people and fun-seeking people constitute the civilization of the Federation... If you think about it this way, this place is too suitable for the group of idlers.

  No, or in other words, suitable for everyone who wants 【comfort】... Then, that's all.

  Even if it is the gods... no, it has nothing to do with the gods, even if it is me...

   "..."

  Raphael finished his noodles and drank a lot of noodle soup. He walked out of the noodle restaurant in silence, and simply analyzed his thoughts... Yes, even he is lazy and doesn't want to do anything right now.

   But no, but no, but no...

   "Ira... said [It's a good thing that you are willing to come back to help]. If that's the case, I still have to do something for the main plane."

   "..."

  Raphael resolutely dispelled the laziness on his body, and then... felt the surrounding space, according to the will of the soul master (Ira), began to gradually feel repulsive to him.

"come yet?"
