Without a doubt, Sumire was the weakest member of the Group Chat and compared to everyone, her power was only "Hana Hana no Mi," even though it might be a powerful ability since, with this ability, she could create a hand or various parts of her body inside the organ of her opponent then crushed them. Still, once her opponent got closer to her, she would be taken down, and it would be over for her.
But without a doubt, the way Sumire used her power was better than Nicole Robin, but her body was fragile, though her body was weaker than Nicole Robin.
After they came to this world, they didn't move for a while but rather stayed in the alley as usual to get a general idea about this world.
"This is really a future world..." Sumire looked at the surrounding area with some amazement. The world where she did the quest previously was from the world of the "Accel World," and it happened in 2046. On the other hand, they are at the end of 2094 right now.
"Yeah, the future world is very troublesome since the surveillance is just too advanced," Haru said helplessly. If it was someone other than him and Tabane, they would be troubled once they entered this world. Luckily, he entered this quest, or else they would be caught by the people in this world immediately. From his position, he could see various street cameras, and he was also sure that the satellite was also very advanced that it could see him in this position with HD quality or 4k, or even more?
Luckily, Haru had many devices to hack and jam the various surveillance in this world, and combined with his power. He was simply a ghost in this world.
"But Haru, is this alright?" Sumire asked.
"What do you mean?" Haru asked.
"I mean, I'm pretty weak, right? Don't you think that I'm a burden?" Sumire asked while looking at Haru.
"I'll complete the quest, and I'll also protect you. Doing those two at the same time might not be easy, but I'll do it, so you don't need to worry." Haru then held Sumire's hand to reassure her that everything would be alright.
"...."
Sumire took a deep breath and somehow understood why a lot of girls were falling for him. Her face was slightly reddened, and she asked, "It's a bit cold. Do you have a woman's winter clothes?"
When they arrived, it was at the end of December, and it was almost a new year soon, and during that time, it was winter in this country.
Now that you mention it, the author hadn't told everyone which country they were teleported to, right? The answer was obvious, and that country was Japan.
"Here you go." Haru took out a woman's winter clothes and gave them to Sumire.
Sumire nodded and started to take off her clothes.
"Wait! Wait! Why did you suddenly open your clothes here?!" Haru was dumbfounded and quickly stopped Sumire.
"I mean, it'll be weird if I walk with these clothes, right?" Sumire said while looking at Haru. "And don't you like it?"
Haru let out a sigh and said, "Well, I'll turn around."
"No, no, you also need to change your clothes, right? Let's change together!" Sumire said with a smile, feeling quite fun to tease him.
"..." Haru was wondering when his beastly image had become a docile cat?
---
After they changed their clothes, Haru held Sumire in his hands and directly turned into an astral mode to go into the den of various thugs or yakuza. After all, they needed money, and those places were the best way to get various necessary things in this world.
In truth, Haru knew that the existence of yakuza, even though it was very troublesome and quite necessary, he didn't really like it, which was why if he could destroy one, then there shouldn't be trouble, right?
In his astral mode, he was simply invincible in this world. No one would be able to catch him. After all, he had become something similar to a ghost. In this science world, who would believe in ghosts, right?
Unless you were a five-year-old kid, of course.
As expected, Haru and Sumire knew that this world was quite similar to "Accel World," and there wasn't any paper money, only digital money. Still, they didn't feel weird. After all, a human has always developed toward the future. When there wasn't any money, they used a barter. After some development, they used coins made by using either copper, silver, or gold. Once they knew those metals had a limited amount, they decided to use paper money. Then now, when technology has become advanced, they use digital money.
In the end, what was necessary was trust. When someone thought that digital money was precious and believed in the country that produced it, then digital money became precious. It was just like that.
After taking some money, creating some bank accounts with an anonymous name, they directly walked away, leaving them. After all, it wasn't like Haru didn't really like to attract attention, and it was better to be quiet until he understood this world.
"So, where are we going now?" Sumire asked.
"Let's go to the hotel," Haru said without hesitation.
"....." Sumire.
"Haru, I know that you're starving, but you be at least a gentleman with me," Sumire said with a reprimanded tone.
"..." Haru.
Haru thought that his image as a beast seemed still retained on Sumire's mind.
---
Joke asides, both of them went to the hotel together without hesitation, this time, they chose a luxurious hotel directly, with a clover-like symbol, and as expected, the moment they entered, they became a center of attention directly, after all, Haru was so handsome, but he had gotten used a stare and didn't say much. He then said to get one room for him and Sumire, but he didn't expect to receive a weird gaze from the staff for a short moment.
"Is there something wrong?" Haru asked the staff directly.
"No, no, it's alright," the male staff quickly shook his head.
"If you don't tell me, then I'll report to your manager, and you'll be fired," Haru said without hesitation with a frown.
"Ah, please don't!" The male staff quickly stopped with a panicked expression.
"Then tell me," Haru said.
"Ugh... it's just that I don't expect an unmarried male and female to enter a room together. After all, we're living in the age where we need to remain chaste before marriage, right?" the male staff said in a low voice.
"..." Haru and Sumire.
Haru laughed and patted the male staff, then said, "As long as there's love, it is alright, you know."
"Eh?" The male staff was dumbfounded.
"Well, just give me the room," Haru said.
"Ah, yes!"
Haru ordered the best room directly. After all, he didn't lack money, and he also wanted to have a quiet environment. However, he never expected to attract attention because he decided to enter the room together with Sumire. He then noticed a lovely mature woman, which attracted him. Still, he quickly looked away. After all, he had seen many beautiful women in his life, so even though the mature woman was lovely, it only amazed him for a moment, and it was rude to stare at her for a long time.
"So should we go to the room now, dear?" Sumire asked with a smile while hugging his arm.
"Good, let's go!" Haru said without hesitation.
Sumire and Haru laughed, but none of them thought to really have a thought to do something dirty later. They didn't really care if they were misunderstood, but then there was one woman whose appearance was full of feminine charms and enchanting mature beauty, staring at Haru since his aura wasn't something that could be ignored. At the same time, she had to admit that the young man might be the most handsome one that she had seen in her life.
"Hayama, can you see that young man's aura?" The woman asked.
"That young man?" The elderly man looked in Haru's direction and shook his head. "No, however, I can feel that he's extraordinary." Even though he couldn't see Haru's aura, just looking at him alone, he could feel his heartfelt calm, pressure, and even though it was hard to admit, his appearance might be the most handsome that he had ever seen.
"Can you search for his information?" The woman asked.
"By your will." The elderly man bowed his head.
Then the woman and the elderly man left the hotel with many people bowing their heads toward them, showing how prestigious the status of the woman was.
