Chapter 15: [15]: Farewell to a world (Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni)
World of Elicia.
Kingdom of Belfast.
City of Leafrett - Eastern Forest.
[***]
In the sky, Aiden looked down at the 16-year-old boy with a Japanese appearance who had just arrived in this world.
Yes, Aiden was watching Mochizuki Touya from the clouds.
He knew, thanks to [Rasiel], that this boy had already reincarnated and arrived in this world thanks to a God who had reincarnated him after accidentally striking him with a lightning bolt.
Touya was walking towards the nearest village when a cart with a horse approached and offered to help him get there.
"So that's the boy who will protect this world from now on..." murmured Nia, who was inside Aiden's soul, as she watched Touya.
Aiden, flying in the air and observing him, nodded.
"He doesn't seem too strong... I could defeat him with a single blow. Is he really the one?" commented Tohka.
Touya was as physically strong as Aiden was when he reached level 2, which made him sigh; he assumed the God who reincarnated him gave him that strength so he wouldn't die immediately.
But he could become stronger over time, learning magic, as Aiden could sense a huge amount of magical power coming from him, at least the same as Aiden had when he was at Level 3.
"Well, it's obvious that he won't be that strong since he just reincarnated a few minutes ago, according to [Rasiel]," Kotori responded to Tohka.
But Aiden's attention was elsewhere.
After reaching the nearest village, Touya took a cell phone out of his pocket.
Yes... a cell phone.
And it had internet!
In this fantasy world, Touya had internet and could entertain himself by browsing the real-time internet from his previous world.
"….." Aiden watched him with envy, wondering if he should steal the phone, but then shook his head, as he wasn't the type of person to do that.
"Hihihihi~ Danna-sama is so immature sometimes, hahaha~" Kurumi laughed, guessing what Aiden was thinking.
"Eh? What's going on? What's wrong with Aiden?" asked Kaguya, curious.
"Question: Why do you have that envious face?" added Yuzuru, also noticing Aiden's expression despite being inside his soul.
"Well..." Aiden could only point at Touya's cell phone with an envious look.
"Pfft~, Aiden-kun, are you still on that?" Yoshinon laughed.
"How addicted were you to the internet or technology in general in your past life?" Origami was speechless.
"Nushi-sama..." Mukuro was also speechless.
"But... it makes me envious!"
Aiden pointed at Touya from afar as the clouds passed above him.
"Look! That guy can browse the internet with that magical phone that even seems like a
Aiden was helpless and could only envy Touya.
He compared it to a
Aiden could have created his own phone with materials from this world, but there was no internet here, nor the culture from his previous world to entertain himself, so he had given up a long time ago.
But seeing how Touya could view things from his past life on his phone, he could only envy him.
"Comparing this hurricane daughter to that piece of junk... Aiden bad!" Kaguya scolded him.
"Assertion: Aiden bad!" Yuzuru reprimanded him in her kuudere voice.
"Nushi-sama... bad" Mukuro also scolded him.
"Fufufu... Danna-sama, you can't compare your wives to that piece of junk," Kurumi laughed, mocking him.
"ONI-CHAN bad" Origami called him that again, in a cute voice, and Aiden shuddered as if he liked it, and she laughed.
"….." Aiden was speechless, but when he heard how Origami called him, he felt conflicted, realizing he had that kind of fetish.
"I'm sorry," he could only apologize helplessly, and they laughed in response.
'Do I have a fetish for little sisters?' Aiden thought.
"Stop with the Oni-chan right now!" Kotori argued with Origami.
"Pfft~, Yoshino-chan, call him that too, and maybe he'll pamper and adore you," Yoshinon whispered to Yoshino, but Aiden heard it perfectly and twisted his lips.
He imagined a scene where cute Yoshino called him that with flushed cheeks, feeling a bit of heat in his nose; when he touched it, he wiped it and saw he had blood.
He was speechless to discover he was a pervert.
"...Do you want to kill me?" Aiden thought Yoshinon wanted to end his life.
"...Do you want me to call you that, Aiden-san? If you like it, I have no problem with it..." Yoshino whispered.
"….." Aiden.
"Look, that boy already got his first harem members," Natsumi changed the subject to save Aiden's life, as she didn't want him to die.
'Natsumi!' Aiden thought his witch was an angel at this moment.
Aiden watched as Touya saved two girls or helped some girls from bullies, and then they walked together.
Those girls, shortly after, also taught him magic and the basics of this world.
After seeing that Touya, the future protector of this world, had started his new life safely, Aiden shook his head and decided to leave.
Aiden left some help for Touya: in some ruins where he had fought against the Phrases before, he placed some of his magic research in Japanese so that Touya could understand it.
He also left information about the Phrases and other details that would be useful to him.
Touya would eventually discover these treasures as he got accustomed to this world.
Additionally, Dr. Regina Babylon and her androids, who resided in the floating gardens of Babylon, would be there to help Touya grow stronger, so Aiden wasn't too worried about the safety of the world he had protected for so long.
Although, if any truly serious danger appeared, he could always return to defend it with his magic.
—Whooosh…
"….." Aiden propelled himself, flying into space, where he looked at the landscape of this magical world before deciding to leave.
The planet's green color, along with its seas, looked beautiful from that height.
His magic for traveling to other parallel worlds, [Kaleidoscope], required a large amount of magical power, and the destination was always a random parallel world.
So he would probably visit many worlds before finding one he really liked.
After arriving in another world, Aiden could store its coordinates if he wanted to, to return to that place in the future.
However, he could only make two or three jumps a day at most, since the cost of crossing the dimensional rift and traveling to a parallel world was very high, even with his magical power regeneration ability.
Aiden raised his right hand to activate his magic.
"Don't forget to use [Rasiel] to investigate the type of world you land in. If it's not suitable for us, we'll jump to another," Nia said.
"Yes, boss," Aiden replied, as Nia laughed.
"Let's make bets!" Tohka suddenly exclaimed.
"The world we'll jump to now is a modern one," Miku bet.
"It'll be one without supernatural beings, but in the medieval era," Mukuro added.
"It'll be one similar to this," Kotori said.
The girls started making bets, leaving Aiden speechless.
After a while, Aiden looked at this world for the 'last time' and said:
"Well, goodbye for now."
"We'll be back!" all the girls exclaimed in unison.
"Open, [Kaleidoscope]," Aiden murmured, activating his magic.
—Crack!
A multicolored portal, like a kaleidoscope, opened in front of him, as if space itself were breaking.
"….."
Aiden gave one last look at the world where he had spent 100 years… and then he left.

End of the chapter.
(•_•)
A/N:
Here I was able to finish an extra chapter, although it's short, it only has about 1200 words or so.
Anyway, don't expect many additional chapters, since my writing speed is slow.
Also, I write from a cell phone because my laptop ascended to the sky after a bite from my cat…
Anyway…
I finished the first arc, so to speak.
This mini-arc is here to explain where the girls came from and how Aiden built his strength.
I wrote it in this world because this Isekai was one of the first ones I read and watched in anime, and I have a bit of affection for it.
That's why I decided to create this "training" arc.
Anyway, thanks for reading!~
