The Astral
Chapter 3: Enthusiastic Researcher and His Simulation Tools

After busy helping here and there, the trio finally decided to take a break by sitting in the station cafeteria. Each of them also ordered a different meal, the silence felt as the three of them ate their meal deliciously.

Not to forget also when after eating, Sarah took a tool in the form of her Smartdroid and she did a selfie, very audible by Raymond. But why Raymond is so familiar even know this thing is called Smartdroid and not surprised anymore.

Raymond also glanced at Kiyoshi who was also holding a Smartdroid. The typing of both Smartdroids feels crisp and Raymond can only see.

After Kiyoshi and Sarah are busy with their Smartdroid, they look at each other like they already understand each other's thoughts.

Raymond, we're going to our room on the Sky Catcher. If there is anything, just come just do not hesitate.. Ah yes, a researcher in the maintenance room wants to talk to you.

Said Kiyoshi and he stood up from his seat and without further ado he came out of the door that opened automatically and closed automatically.

This.... If he's a freak you can point this out, Amon's drug.

Sarah said cheerfully and stood up after handing over a small chip to Raymond.

Raymond saw Sarah was gone, too, following Kiyoshi

Okay, what room was that he said? oh yes, the maintenance room.. But where's the room? this is a big place..

Inner Raymond and he looked right and left, it seemed like this time he could not just go with the flow and was forced to ask a servant of the android development service beside him.

Excuse me, may I ask?

Raymond politely spoke to the researcher who was busy with his tablet before he finally opened his mouth without turning his head.

Da? anything I can help you with?

Reply to a research girl.

Sorry, I'm lost. Can you know the direction of the road to the maintenance room?

Ask Raymond.

The girl stopped herself from getting busy with her tablet and looked at Raymond.

Hmm, you're the new kid? I've never seen you here before..

Say the girl.

The girl plays her hair with her finger and puts the tablet in a special bag, then she looks at Raymond again.

My name is Viska Angelica, a staff in android development services.. And I can tell you where to go because I want to go too.

Said the girl named Viska.

L'm.. Raymond..

Reply Raymond with a stutter because it's awkward.

Don't be afraid, I didn't bite you because you didn't piss me off.

Viska said with a smile on her face, she wore thin box glasses and Raymond saw the beauty of this girl rising down after wearing glasses. It just feels weird.

Not so, but I need it too.. Yaudah I'm coming.

Raymond said again and Viska took the newspaper beside her and tapped it gently on Raymond's cheek with the newspaper.

Ah basic, reminded even in try.

After their conversation was over, Raymond followed the staff named Viska. He followed from behind until they reached a room, a clear room and had a signboard.

When he had set foot in the maintenance room, suddenly Raymond seemed to forget the memory of being very nervous plus Viska instead went in more in this room.

Ah, you're the one people talked about in this short time. Come in, Raymond.

A kind-hearted woman offers Raymond to go deeper too, Raymond was initially hesitant but he ventured to do so and went to the side because there was a lane barrier in the form of a whiteboard that like his deliberately put there.

Please, sit.. Want coffee? My coffee is better than Huang's.. Just trust me..

A blonde-haired woman was spotted, enthusiastically offering Raymond to enjoy the facilities this woman offered. Raymond looked at this woman with his normal gaze of compassion, perhaps that's why Raymond was welcomed without suspicion or assertiveness, or maybe just Raymond's feelings.

No need, thanks. He said there were researchers looking for me..

Raymond replied, he was still standing there waiting for a reply from Raymond's words.

Really, I called you.. My name is Libertia Vixia, a director appointed by Tesla.

The blonde girl named Libertia stood up from her chair and like the person who was again running the presentation, she stepped her feet while activating the large monitor screen beside Raymond.

I want you to be the first person to try my creation. I named it Ixaverse, a simulation room with a lot of options and free to play video games. But this I use to further understand the reaction of Pandemonium energy.

Libertia said at length explaining its creation with pride. Surely Raymond did not want to lose, he thought what feedback Raymond could get.

Then... What feedback do I get? I don't want empty hands if I don't get it out.. Drugged..

Raymond casually replies, moving out of the room, but with Libertia's date holding Raymond's arm.

D-don't go first..!! I'm not completely clear..

Libertia is like a child.

Alright.. Continue how?

Reply Raymond who stopped moving his legs.

Libertia then smiled, looking forward to Raymond's words and curiosity, and he immediately let go of his grip and grabbed one of the wall cabinets after he shifted a few steps after removing the handle.

TA-DAAA..!! I'll give you this powerful tool called Smartdroid..!! You can communicate with your Sky Catcher friends.. HEHEHEHE..!! how..want to, right?

Libertia who holds a Smartdroid in her hand, her perfume-scented hand is very close to Raymond's face plus the face of Libertia who began to weld makes Raymond powerless to refuse.

But on the other hand, he wants that thing. The thing Libertia holds and wants to use it.

Pretty interesting, I accept.

Not a few seconds after he said the word, Raymond immediately snatched it from the hands of Libertia and with eyes sparkling with a feeling of pleasure, Raymond kissed the Smartdroid screen wholeheartedly.

.... It's a guy between skizos or it's a crazy guy

The Libertians are speechless.

Afterwards, Raymond was taught by the Libertians how to use it. How to take photos such as selfies and regular photos, teach photo features, how to call and use the CPM (Chat Private Massage) application.

Libertia also teaches how to change the wallpaper and give wallpaper, even deliberately in the first teaching, the screen Smartdroid Raymond already printed Libertia wallpaper in the photo, all that for popularity.

Before long, they went to the Ixaverse room. Raymond just needs to sit down that has been provided and use a light helmet as his medium.

The only thing Raymond felt before entering into another world was "Welcome to the Ixaverse.. First try... Ignited.. ".
