Yesterday was unusually peaceful and I was able to focus on gathering and scrutinizing information.

 

Nope! It’s funny how rare it is!

 

I regained my composure and remembered the wreckage of the train I saw in town.

It’s called Minoko’s Sorrow, and I’m sure the train isn’t the only thing that’s been forcibly recreated from pre-incarnation technology.

That area would have been on display anyway.

You can’t maintain a train by faith, but this world links everything to faith and apostles’ blessings.

And a God who expects his apostles to abuse their power.

I guess this state of affairs is convenient for some gods.

 

◆◇◆◇◆

 

The exhibition was adorned with objects made from the knowledge brought in by the apostle.

The mourning woman, Silvana, was surprised but asked the teacher many questions.

 

“What kind of tools are these?”

 

I knew these two would get along well …… You should get married.

At a place far from me.

 

The exhibit is full of things that were commonplace before I was reincarnated.

As expected, not only trains, but also motorcycles, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc ……

I’m a little curious as to what they used instead of electricity, but it’s not a priority.

Road asphalt, bathtubs, and flush toilets …….

I guess he tried to make his life as close to his pre-incarnation life as possible.

 

Hmm? That’s weird …… Come to think of it, flush toilets are already everywhere, in houses, bars, and so on.

 

“Teacher, aren’t the only ones on display here the ones that are not in use today?”

 

“Yes, they are …… but did you see anything that caught your attention?”

 

I nodded my head.

 

“Flush toilets are common now, aren’t they?”

 

“Yeah, the first apostle brought in flush toilets that became inoperable after his death.”

 

“What about the ones in use now?”

 

The teacher smirks.

 

“That will be discovered on a later trip.”

 

So there’s a difference.

 

“Later, what is this item bag you have here?”

 

It’s a small bag-like object that, according to the description, can hold a large number of items.

It’s true that infinite storage existed in the common otherworldly stuff ……

But this would not be brought in when you are reincarnated.

 

The teacher becomes a bit teacherly.

 

“Item bags have always existed, though. The first apostle was able to store an infinite amount of items. After he died, all the bags became unusable.”

 

“How did that happen?”

" "

 

“It is a mystery as to how the item bags stores things in the first place. A few decades after they stopped working, they started working again.”

 

“It’s not very stable.”

 

The doctor shrugged his shoulders as if agreeing with me.

 


 

“Which brings me to a further problem. The contents of the old item bag had been replaced by the contents of another bag …….”

 

Hmm, you mean the corresponding keys were swapped and led to something else?

It’s not a database.

I don’t know how you can use something you don’t know the principle of.

 

“So, if you don’t know when it will be useless, you can’t use it. The only exception was the apostles, who could use it indefinitely.”

 

I feel that infinite and quantitative are different in principle.

The teacher opened his mouth.

 

“I heard that the ban on the bags made war more difficult and smaller.”

 

Yeah, they won’t be able to maintain the logistics.

The provinces are not rich enough to support the army’s food supply even if they were to loot it.

 

“That’s why they’re displayed as relics of the past, isn’t it?”

 

“Yes.”

 

“How long was the First Apostle active?”

 

The teacher looked like he was remembering something.

 

“I’m pretty sure it’s between one to forty years. After that, he retired and retreated to his base.”

 

Forty years is not enough time for an over-technology without know-how to take root.

I’m a little concerned that they’re only able to maintain it while the apostles are around.

 

Before I was reincarnated, I liked to watch shows about plane crashes and such.

I know that the technology in this area is operated through various trial and error, failures and countermeasures.

If it didn’t work, there would have been a lot of trouble earlier.


 

 

“What’s it like when it goes bad?”

 

The teacher’s face became sullen.

 

“There’s no detailed lore left.”

 

The teacher’s face became sullen.

As I was thinking this, he whispered into my ear.

 

(The Apostolic archives of the Pope Office might have it, though.)

 

It seems to be an untouchable story.

In other words, it’s not good for the Church.

So this is a different kind of issue.

 

I certainly think it would be a miracle if we were offered a flood of this technology.

And if we were unable to operate it after our death …… we would want to blame it on our faith.

In fact, it’s the church’s intention not to accumulate know-how.

It’s a strange world, and the common sense of this world is strange.

" "

 

For the time being, I’m not at the stage of analyzing information yet.

The decision is made by gathering information, discarding it, and analyzing it.

It’s still in the early stages.

 

“I’m going to go around the town a bit, so you two can go back to the inn.”

 

“Oh, and be careful.”

 

“Don’t let some strange woman spot you.”

 

I’ve already been spotted ……

 

◆◇◆◇◆

 

I look around the town and try to imagine what the scenery used to be like.

Even before my reincarnation, I used to do this when I visited castle ruins and ruins.

It’s disappointing when only the exterior remains, but parts of it have been remodeled.

When I visit castles, I can’t help but wonder if elevators have been installed inside.

It’s all about convenience for tourists.

But still, it makes me wonder what’s going on.

I was rather excited to see how it was built in the past.

What I imagined was a world that was terribly out of place.

 

I was suddenly struck by a thought.

Africa, which was a tribal society, was colonized by the West.

After that, it became independent, but even if it was suddenly given a modern culture, it would not be able to manage it well.

The same is true for social systems. If you suddenly change from a chiefdom to a parliamentary democracy, what awaits you is corruption and depravity.

We may have a great president, but we don’t have a great warehouseman.

Rarely does a country like Japan have the unique ability to modernize in a single step.

 

I wondered if it was okay to bring a convenient foreign substance into this world.

When I am troubled, I feel like smoking.

Even if people call me a smoker, I still want to smoke.

 

I wonder if the previous apostles brought in technology with desire and good intentions like this.

Technology is also a kind of power.

It is easy to give, but difficult to preserve.

It is easy to establish, but difficult to build up and maintain.

 

When I returned to the inn with my mood, I found two hydra fighting.

It’s easy to drink …… but hard to drink moderately.
