Tsukasa Astrea generously granted Rimuru's request.
"Here."
"Thank you!"
She watched Rimuru painstakingly manipulate his body to create two hands, excitedly taking the game console. Just as Rimuru was about to surf the internet, the signal bars in the upper right corner of the console suddenly dropped rapidly. Under Rimuru's dumbfounded gaze, a message popped up: "Unable to connect to server."
"Miss Little Tsukasa?"
"Let me see."
Then Little Tsukasa took the game console back from Rimuru's hands, and to Rimuru's renewed astonishment, the network reconnected.
"Here."
"..."
Indeed, Rimuru watched as the game console, once in his hands, lost its network connection. It seemed only Little Tsukasa could connect to the internet across worlds; once the console was in his hands, there was no signal. It appeared God existed, and only Little Tsukasa, specially permitted by God, had this privilege. But was God so lenient that even the requests of this fallen angel would be answered? One must know, this fallen angel was the one who brutally tore off her halo and crushed it.
"Do you still want to play?"
Little Tsukasa chuckled inwardly.
"Play!"
Even if he couldn't connect to the internet, he could still play single-player games, so how could he not play?
Rimuru skillfully opened a game.
And then he couldn't stop.
Little Tsukasa was very curious: using magic
Could one still play the game using a sensed screen?
While the two were playing games on the first floor.
On the second floor, Shiro was holding a meeting with Main Body in the consciousness space, relaying the intelligence from this side to Main Body.
Within the consciousness space.
Two identical-looking girls sat at opposite ends of a table, with a television nearby displaying past events, all from Shiro's memories.
"So it's another world connected to ours. D might know something, but it's better not to let D know about this."
Main Body Shiro said this after watching all of Shiro's memories. She was somewhat interested in the world Shiro and the others were in, but unfortunately, even if the two worlds were connected, her abilities were not enough to travel there; sending a parallel consciousness to awaken a clone was already her limit.
Moreover, she could confirm one thing: the world Rimuru reincarnated from was not their Earth before they transmigrated, but another parallel world. To clarify the relationship, perhaps only D had the answer, but currently, D could practically be considered her enemy, so asking D for help was out of the question.
"How are things on your side?"
Shiro was a little worried about Main Body Shiro's situation. After Little Tsukasa left, the situation there had changed greatly, and because Kuro defected to the Human Race side, the Demon Lords Army suffered significant damage.
"No problem. With the heros sword gone, even if the Hero has the system's blessing, it's not a concern. However, if we launch an attack, the system will provide support to the Hero and his allies, which would only accelerate the world's collapse, so we cannot act rashly."
"Has it been confirmed that D is controlling it?"
"No one else could do such a thing besides her."
Next, Main Body Shiro requested Shiro to protect Little Tsukasa's safety; they still needed Little Tsukasa's power.
With the end of this communication, they would not be able to contact each other again for a period of time.
Even though Shiro was Shiro's parallel consciousness, cross-world communication was not a simple matter.
Shiro opened her eyes, then got up and walked out of the room downstairs. When she saw the Slime playing games, her eyes lingered for a moment, then she looked at Little Tsukasa, who was lying on the sofa, with an inquiring expression, wanting to know what was going on.
"What is this?"
"It's a game console."
Little Tsukasa patted the Slime.
"Stop playing, the project is almost done. Go back and do your work, this game console is yours."
Rimuru paused the game and asked incredulously, "Can I really have it?"
Was Little Tsukasa really such a kind person?
"Hmm."
Since she could create a new one anytime she wanted, giving it to the Slime didn't matter. Besides, without her, no one in this world could connect the game console to the internet.
"Thank you, I'll take it."
Rimuru didn't stand on ceremony, opening his mouth and swallowing the game console, letting the Great Sage analyze it, wanting to see if he could replicate it.
The Slime hopped out of the house, going to deal with the Goblin matters.
Shiro asked, "Where did the game console come from?"
Could it be that Alchemy Magic again?
Little Tsukasa casually created another game console and said, "That's how it came about. It only takes a bit of wood, stone, and electric elements to make it. There's nothing incredible about it. I copied all the games by reading Mr. Slime's memories."
This was a lie.
Although she did find the coordinates of that Earth through the information elements on the Slime and indeed possessed the ability to forcibly read others' memories, she had no hobby of peeking into others' memories. All the games were downloaded by her from that Earth's network.
As for why she lied, it was simply because she didn't want to say, didn't want Shiro to know that she had the ability to travel between worlds. Because if Shiro knew, her vacation would definitely come to an end here.
"I see."
Shiro took the game console and opened it to look at the games inside, finding that many of them were games she didn't remember existing. She had memories from her Wakaba Himeiro period and was very clear about the games on the market, so she could confirm that these games were indeed not available on their Earth.
"Does Rimuru know?"
"He doesn't know about me reading his memories."
"Understood."
Little Tsukasa watched Shiro seemingly intending to keep her secret, silently lowering her head. This wouldn't hide it for long, though. That Slime didn't look like someone who could keep a secret. When that big mouth blurted out to Shiro that he could connect to the internet, Shiro would definitely guess that she had lied about this matter.
Should she delete the Slime's memories? But was it necessary? After all, this was just her willfulness; it wouldn't matter even if she told the truth. And currently, the range she could traverse was actually quite limited. Whether she could travel back to the world Shiro and she originally belonged to was still uncertain. Perhaps she could open a portal, but it might not be enough to cross over, as her current reincarnated body was starting from scratch.
"Little Tsukasa?"
Her behavior caught Shiro's attention.
Little Tsukasa sighed, then, under Shiro's puzzled gaze, sincerely said, "I'm sorry, I just
lied. The truth is..."
Along with her apology, the television turned on, displaying familiar news reports.
"I can connect to Earth's network."
