The Unfortunate Girl Wants an Easy Mode in Her Second Life – Chapter 147

Chapter 147: For better or worse, my alma mater
ㅤ”Hmm. I’m not sure if I feel nostalgic or not…”
ㅤ
ㅤThat was my impression as I looked up at the high school I used to attend.
ㅤ
ㅤIt’s one of the better high schools in the city, and it has a long history.
ㅤSurrounded by brick walls, zelkova trees grow in a cluster. Beyond them, stood the gray concrete school building.
ㅤI think it’s a high school that you can find just about anywhere.
ㅤ
ㅤ”At this time… it’s during class, huh? That’s perfect. I just hope the computer lab isn’t being used.”
ㅤ
ㅤEven though it’s the school I used to attend, sneaking in is a bit nerve-wracking.
ㅤThanks to the hateful Gramasu Kago, there’s absolutely no chance of me being found out, though.
ㅤ
ㅤ”The computer lab was on the second floor, right?”
ㅤ
ㅤIt shouldn’t have been that long since I reincarnated, but I’m surprised at how much I’ve forgotten about the school’s layout.
ㅤ
ㅤ”There it is. Looks like nobody’s here.”
ㅤ
ㅤWhen I tried to open the door, it was locked.
ㅤ
ㅤ”Was it locked when not in use?”
ㅤ
ㅤApparently, some equipment was stolen from the computer lab, and they’ve been locking it ever since.
ㅤ
ㅤ”But, if it’s just a lock like this…”
ㅤ
ㅤI place my hand on the lock.
ㅤI pour Ether into it, probing the keyhole and grasping its structure.
ㅤAll that’s left is to create an Ether key and turn it.
ㅤ
ㅤ”Piece of cake.”
ㅤ
ㅤIt would’ve been a pain if it were a card key or something, but it’s just a school lock after all.
ㅤ
ㅤI went inside and sat in front of a computer in a position not visible from outside.
ㅤWhen I started the computer, the nostalgic startup screen appeared.
ㅤI entered my high school account name and password into the login screen that finally showed up.
ㅤWhat if it gets rejected?
ㅤI was a little nervous, but I was able to log in without any problems.
ㅤThe face of the computer science teacher, who seemed to have no relation to information security, came to mind.
ㅤ
ㅤ”Let’s see, to connect to Elminarsh…”
ㅤ
ㅤIt’s the same procedure as when contacting other beings in the Netherworld, right?
ㅤ
ㅤI try to create an image of connecting Elminarsh to the internet.
ㅤ
ㅤHowever, this is surprisingly difficult.
ㅤEven if I say connect to the internet, does that mean connecting to this terminal, connecting to a server somewhere, or is it okay to have a more rough image of connecting to the internet network?
ㅤ
ㅤ”Ah, that’s right. Let’s imagine the feeling when I came here.”
ㅤ
ㅤI recall that indescribable sensation, and riding on the invisible flow, I imagine connecting the internet to the Elminarsh system in the Demon King’s Castle.
ㅤ
ㅤThen, a prompt opens on the computer screen in front of me, and letters appear.
ㅤ
ㅤFrom Elminarsh to Minato
ㅤConnection between Earth’s internet and the Elminarsh system confirmed.
ㅤThere seems to be a tremendous amount of information, but what should I investigate first?
ㅤ
ㅤThe prompt screen displays their language, forcibly converted into the alphabet.
ㅤ
ㅤ”Can I… write it?”
ㅤ
ㅤJust in case, I’ve also been studying the local language so that I don’t have to rely on the automatic translation option.
ㅤ
ㅤI painstakingly type their language in the alphabet.
ㅤ
ㅤUse a search engine. You can find pages by typing in keywords. Here’s a typical search engine.
ㅤ
ㅤI copy and paste the address from the browser.
ㅤ
ㅤBut, I don’t understand Earth’s languages.
ㅤ
ㅤ”That’s right…”
ㅤ
ㅤLanguage analysis is necessary. For now, I’ll try looking things up randomly.
ㅤ
ㅤUnderstood. If there’s anything you want to look up immediately, I’ll translate the keywords into our language.
ㅤ
ㅤThat would be helpful. Then…
ㅤ
ㅤI translate the keywords Elminarsh has specified into Japanese and English.
ㅤI’m not sure about the English part, so I searched it online each time. Oh, I should have taught Elminarsh how to translate.
ㅤ
ㅤThank you. I’ll try doing the rest here. No, I’m already doing it, but this is quite a thing.
ㅤ
ㅤI’ll take a look at the internet again while I’m here. Just in case, I want to connect from other places as well.
ㅤ
ㅤI don’t know how the connection to the internet is actually realized, so I want to prepare multiple connections just in case.
ㅤ
ㅤUnderstood. Almirash says, “I’m glad you’re safe, be careful.”
ㅤ
ㅤMy cheeks relaxed at Almy’s usual self.
ㅤ
ㅤ━━At that moment, the computer lab door opened.
