20 Please Silence Your Cellphone While In Service (1/2)
Diesel looked around, seeing that all of the Truck-kuns had gathered. For some reason, Kami-sama had made an emergency announcement requesting for everyone available to meet him in the Divine Realm.
As he waited around wondering what it could be, Kami-sama suddenly entered from a portal with a stiff look on his face.
”My fellow Truck-kuns, there is a great danger about to fall upon us. Please, take a look at this.”
A large display showing a person in a hero's outfit hovered in the air.
Target: Satou Kanda
Occupation: Unbeatable Champion of the World of Fangaea
- World Conqueror
- Skill Master
- Possessor of Divine Equipment
”Huh? Looks like the generic end-game hero to me. But that name…where have I heard it before…?” Diesel pondered out loud.
”Diesel-kun, he was the target that was sniped from you by a goose.”
”Oh right! That guy!... but why is he showing up again?”
Kami-sama grimaced. ”He has grown too powerful. He is trying to tear through the dimensions between worlds so that he can find some place better.”
Diesel didn't understand why that was so bad. Would it harm the worlds if that happened? Was he just abandoning the people from the world he was in? Though, he had saved and conquered it already, had he not? It didn't seem like they would mind if their hero decided to call it quits.
”If Satou-kun goes around and keeps saving the different worlds…then what are you Truck-kuns going to do? Also, what is going to happen if he starts disagreeing with how the Divine Realm does things? Why, it'll become utter chaos if he attempts to stand against the Gods!”
True enough. The Divine Realm seemed to have a certain system of how things went, and it had been around for countless years. However, if that was the case, then how did things come to this?
”Kami-sama, how did Satou wind up with such immense power? It doesn't seem like he would find a loophole that easily.”
Kami-sama furrowed his brow before switching to another image, one of the Hero Satou looking at his smartphone. A collective groan sounded in the room from the other trucks.
”Oh my god! How did THAT get sent with him?!”
”No wonder he's so OP!”
”I swear, that is the most disastrous thing that humans have ever made!”
Diesel was confused. It was just a harmless phone. How could it have contributed to his powers? Kami-sama clearly saw Diesel look around strangely at his fellow trucks like he was completely lost.
”Cardinal Rule #51 – Never, EVER let a target hold onto their smartphone when they are sent to the next world. Apparently, Moon Goddess Yue forgot to remind her geese, so the one that had sent him neglected to knock the phone away first.”
Kami-sama rubbed his temples before continuing.
”As you may know, people undergo transformations and gain potential new powers when they move from world to world. It so happens that smartphones undergo similar effects as well.”
”Wait, so his smartphone works in the other world? Still…what could he do besides looking up stuff?” Diesel thought it would be quite handy to have access to modern information to give oneself an advantage in a less-developed society. It would certainly balance out the aspect of magic and mythical creatures more powerful than the typical person. At most, it seemed like he could look up how to make some neat stuff that existed in his previous world.
”Diesel-kun, please take a look at these clips.” Kami-sama directed him to the screen, where various moments of Satou's time as a hero was displayed.
Satou was facing off against a large dragon, one that appeared to be too strong for him.
”Siri, how do I beat that dragon?”
”The Ancient Dragon of Vornath has a penchant for the taste of elderberries, prioritizing it over all dangers. Feed a bag of them to it, and it will become drunk and pass out; thereby, becoming an easy target for elimination.”
”Thanks, Siri. I just so happen to have some.”
Another scene played where Satou was in front of a large magic circle.
