Hikari and the other two girls walked away from the arena. They made their way towards the way shrine in the town. The way shrine was like a stone monunt that had a blue teleportation crystal at the top. It allowed for quick travel between areas that you've discovered yourself.
Though, in this world Hikari didn't know how they kept track of it. It was easier to explain in a ga world. The chanic was so players had to waste less ti traveling. When Hikari considered everything, she knew that this world and the ga world were not exactly the sa.
For one thing, that would have been impossible. Too many things did not line up. First of all, the NPCs in the ga were far less realistic compared to the ones around her, and second the world would simply not make any sense.
Dungeons respawned all of their monsters in both the ga version and in reality, but there were more things to consider. What about required NPCs? Or what about certain quests that people did? In the world right now, people would have been talking about being players and such, but there were none of those. There were no strange people trying to jump onto buildings to look for items.
What did all of this an? The ga world and [Gensuba] were both connected sohow, but they were not the sa place. Most likely, the ga was based off of this reality. The only answer that Hikari could think of currently was a reincarnator.
She could imagine a scenario where soone died, was reborn into this world, and made it back to Earth sohow. Then they based the whole world of the ga off of this place. It would also explain how the ga had such a massive server and no lag. If there was magic involved, then anything could be possible. Though, Hikari was not yet about to rule out the potential of an alternate reality.
There was also many assumptions she made that could turn out false. It could be the sa world, but most of the players had not yet made it to this area. That would at least explain the fact there are no people here talking about being players.
The elf looked towards Syndra. "There is an experint I would like to try, since we are already at the way shrine. If we went to one of the starter towns, do you think there would be players?"
Syndra shook her head. "I'm not sure. I can't see how a reality and a ga world could be the sa. I'm worried about my guild mates, and our guild is in one of the earlier cities. It's located in Lorel Kingdom's capital."
The elf nodded, vivid mories of hers coming to surface. She was hit by a wave of nostalgia rembering that place. It was the exact area that she'd won the gacha to obtain the dragon. Despite being an early city, it had an excellent view. The whole thing floated high up in the clouds, supported by magic glyphs, and it made a great city for many of the earlier players to put their guilds.
"Let's go there," Hikari said.
She touched her staff against the cold way shrine, rembering the sensation of teleporting once more. It was different from her own thod of teleportation. This one didn't have the sensation of the world folding before her. In a sense it was like their body simply rematerialized sowhere else.
The elf closed her eyes. "Lorel Kingdom Capital City."
In the next instant, an old nostalgic view greeted her. The ground beneath the way shrine was like a floating blue grid, and clouds surrounded the city on all sides. This city was much different to the other dieval-like cities they'd been too. Instead, this was almost sci-fi in nature, but everything was powered by magic.
Glyphs ran under all of the city, and each of the buildings were supported by their own magic formations or magic crystals. Not to ntion, they stretched high above the clouds. They looked more like modern skyscrapers than the structures Hikari was used to by now.
She sighed while looking contentedly at the buildings and breathed in the fresh air. "This really brings back."
As she said that, Kurayami appeared beside her and grinned. "You look happy, Master."
"Of course, if not for this place, then I'd have never found you."
Hikari hugged her dragon girl and stood on the tips of her toes to plant a kiss against Kurayami's lips.
The dragon girl's tail waved back and forth. She leaned into the sensation of her master's soft touch, and the two kissed, while not really caring who watched.
Syndra ca from the way shrine next and simply let the two finish their business.
Hikari finally let go of her dragon and looked around once more. "I bet Nona and Kai would be absolutely thrilled to see this place."
Kurayami nodded. "But Master, we should wait to bring the others. I want to enjoy more of this ti with you, even if I have to share it with a cat."
Syndra shook her head. "Hey, don't let ruin your fun. I'm just here to confirm or deny Hikari's experint."
The dragon smirked at the other girl. "Does that an you like watching then?"
"No! I'm just like every other girl. I like to see love blossoming."
Kurayami hugged her master's arm. "Our love has already completely manifested, but it might not be too late for you, kitten. Master has a huge heart that can encompass several won."
The cat girl's face went red. "What girl would want to join in on soone else's harem? Is this supposed to be a romantic proposal?"
For whatever reason, the cat girl's behavior reminded Hikari of herself, and she could hear the thumping of Syndra's heart. Could this be my chance to finally top sobody?
Hikari's perverted thoughts spun wild, completely corrupted by her subordinates.
"Master, I already know what you're thinking, and I say, go for it."
The elf shook her head. "Not right now. We have an experint."
"You can conduct two experints at once, Master. We can inspect her guild, and then we can inspect her body."
Syndra's face heated up even more as the trio walked. "I can hear you both, you know!"
Hikari chuckled and elbowed her dragon. "Why are you so interested in this, anyway?"
The dragon's face turned away, and her voice went lower. "Master, I think this girl is cute, and I want to reward her for the arena match."
Hikari's eyes widened, but the elf girl smiled. "I'm glad you finally want sothing other than and skewers."
"Master, there are plenty of things I want, but the master and at are at the top of the list."
The group finally reached the edge of a large manor. It was stylized like a large modern mansion with big windows that overlooked a beautiful lawn out front, and Hikari could see that the plants were well kept after. It made the elf wonder how the people of this city got everything into the sky for a second, but she decided not to question it.
A butler waited at the gate and upon seeing Syndra, his eyes lit up. "Mistress? You're back?"
The cat girl's wide eyes clearly couldn't believe it. "You recognize ?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I recognize the lady of this manor?"
"Manor? Then what about my friends? Where is the rest of the guild?"
The butler shook his head. "I'm not sure who you're referring to. Can you be more specific?"
"Mino and them? Where are they?"
"Mino...Ah yes, I rember now." The butler paused to find his train of thought. "I heard he went with a party to the [Forest of Titans]. Apparently, they discovered a new dungeon out there, but more importantly…"
"More importantly? What can be more important than…"
Before she could finish, the butler knelt down and bowed his head. "It has been a long ti since I was graced with the presence of a goddess, and you bring her to our humble manor."
Hikari resisted the urge to sigh. Though, this confird her theory. Things didn't align one to one with the ga. This ant that it was either a world made up based off this one, or they were alternate realities. The only way she'd ever figure out was by going back to Earth.
The elf shook her head and gestured to the butler. "There is no need for you to kneel. Consider the fact that I'm hiding my identity currently. How did you know I am a goddess anyway?"
He looked at Hikari in disbelief. "There aren't many well-studied souls who don't know about Lady Hikari. You might get away with hiding from the common people, but if you walk before anyone scholarly, of course they would know." The man shook his head, nearly slamming it against the ground. "I deeply apologize for my rudeness."
And once again, Hikari's entire fra of reference was broken.
