“And so, I’m going to Earth now.”

I got home, started a stream right away, and made the announcement. What do they call this again. Strike while the iron is hot? Something like that.

‘Wait wait wait wait’
‘What is this kid saying first thing’
‘Bit, joke, or serious—details’

Comments were pouring past in a flood, but reading all of them is a pain, so answering at random should be fine.

“I made teleport magic. I just showed it to the Great Spirit and got her stamp of approval.”

‘Isn’t that way too fast!?’
‘I’ve thought this before, but you put out results fast enough that even we, who don’t know magic, can tell’
‘You doing something?’

“Yeah. I make a subspace and usually research in there. Time flows slower inside.”

‘Ahh, I see. The so-called mental and…’
‘Don’t go any further’
‘Huhh. Convenient little room’
‘Huh? I thought I heard Rita-chan is a high elf so she grows really slowly’
‘In other words, a loli granny’
‘Stop that lmao’

I feel like I just got picked a huge fight with, but also, somehow, like it’s one of those things I can’t deny. Master’s direct teaching: ignore inconvenient topics.

“Anyway, I’m going now.”

‘Now? …Now!?’
‘Now as in, actually now? Like right this second!?’
‘The incarnation of initiative lmao’

“It’s not that much.”

‘That wasn’t praise, you know’

Hm? Wait, it wasn’t? I thought I’d been praised a little.
Well, yeah. Whatever. More importantly, there’s something to decide.

“Where should I go. I’ve settled on Japan, but Japan seems wide and there’s all kinds of stuff.”

For now I want to eat curry rice. But if what I heard from Master isn’t wrong, you can eat curry rice anywhere in Japan. So honestly, anywhere is fine.
I just have to avoid places with no people. If I go deep into the mountains, I’ll probably just take a walk and go home.
No matter how much I think, I obviously wouldn’t know. So I was going to ask for advice, but then it occurred to me. Given these people’s personalities.

“If I ask for recommendations, they’ll probably only answer with wherever they live.”

‘How did you know’
‘I-I-I would n-never do thwke lol wait as;lkdjf’
‘Calm down lmao’
‘I wouldn’t say everyone, but yeah, a pretty high percentage I think’

So better to assume I won’t get any decent recommendations.
Then there’s only one thing to do. What was it. Um…

“Right. Chat lottery.”

‘Chat lottery!?’
‘Chat lottery!? That sounds fun in its own way, but this isn’t a thread, how are you gonna do it?’
‘More importantly don’t decide your first time on Earth with a chat lottery lmao’

“Mm. Then should I stop?”

‘Please do it!’

Good, they’re honest.
I haven’t seen it directly so I don’t know the details, but the asker—is that the word?—picks a number at random, and you go with whatever the person who took that number suggests. Something like that, I think.
Like the viewers said, comments don’t have numbers assigned. So.

“I’ll go to wherever is in the tenth comment that flows after I clap.”

‘I see’
‘Comments flow as a history anyway, so you can kind of tell’
‘Wait, tenth isn’t that too fast? That’s really an instant’
‘In other words, a contest of reflexes!’
‘Crap, I’m getting nervous for no reason lol’
‘Yo. Comments are obviously starting to thin out. You people are over-prepping lol’

The amount of comments flowing has clearly dropped. Normally they stream by without a break, but now they only come now and then. Everyone seems to be lying in wait.
When I held both hands out in front of me, even those comments stopped.
All right then. Pan.

‘Tochigi!’ ‘Tokyo’ ‘Nagoya’ ‘Takeshima’ ‘Akihabara’ ‘Namba!’ ‘Sapporo. The ramen’s good’ ‘Lake Biwa’ ‘Naha or something!’
‘Kokoro-zakura Island’
‘Aomori!’ ‘Tottori Sand Dunes’ ‘Somewhere in Shikoku!’ ‘I like the name Tobishima’ ‘Udon!’
‘We done?’
‘Who said Lake Biwa lmao’
‘There was someone who just said food too lol’

Lots of things came out. Some horsing around mixed in. Lake Biwa is Japan’s biggest lake, right? There’s a big lake in this forest too, but I wonder which is bigger.
Anyway, first I should check the result.

“Um… I can’t read it. An island with the characters for heart and cherry blossom.”

‘Kokoro-zakura Island, huh’
‘An island that recently started getting developed. Tokyo, technically’
‘A Tokyo outlying island, maybe? Should be nice for sightseeing’
‘Note that the goal is curry rice’
‘Not even close lmao’

Doesn’t seem like there are many people? A place with a decent number of people would be more likely to have good restaurants, but well, even if I don’t stick to curry rice, it’s my first teleport, so as long as I can enjoy some sightseeing that’s enough.
If I can buy a map, it’ll be easier to decide the next destination too.
Right. A map. I think Kokoro-zakura Island was on the map Master made, but I don’t know the exact location.

“Kokoro-zakura Island proposer, you there?”

‘Yes yeees. That’s meee’
‘War criminal’
‘Guilty’
‘Execute? Execute?’
‘Wait, why?’

Same bloodthirsty people as always.

“Do you live on Kokoro-zakura Island?”

‘Yep yep. If you come to my place, there’s delicious curry rice’
‘P-pervert!’
‘Suspicious person!’
‘You do realize what you’re doing is what a criminal does?’
‘Eh. Wait, I didn’t mean it like that’
