LV999 Villager Chapter 11 part11

NT: Fine, alright… Errrm… First of all, I have to make it clear that this chapter is something I did mainly to give signs of life. Yes, Catora is still alive. I was really busy attending to some issues (I´m still busy, but not as much as I was the rest of the month), and couldn't translate anything during that time. Now, I would have liked to translate more than just one chapter, but, I am very late with the Spanish version of the others novels I'm translating and I want to do some things before trying to do something stupid that ends up delaying me even more. Now… It is not that I am not going to translate anything, I will try to translate the usual “one chapter per week” for now, and when I finally have everything in order, I will try to translate 2 or 3 Chapters at a time, I will see what I do then. Alright… that's all I think…

「From now on you will live here. These are the Underground Evacuation Installations to which Humanity escaped and where we also found hope… Noah」

Everyone, guided by Mary, went outside the building where the sleeping devices and Earth Clear were located to explore the outside and see the rest of the evacuation facilities, Noah, which was full of facilities similar to houses with shapes never seen by them before. Although the underground facilities were surrounded by stone walls, it covered a fairly wide area.

However, the atmosphere of the “city” was similar to that felt in the City of Balman, where everyone had spent a long time, which made them feel a little confuse.

However, at first glance it could be noted that the houses were completely different. Not only that, in addition to that, numerous steel boxes could also be seen moving from one place to another along the city roads, and the clothes worn by the people looked completely different from what they wore, although the energetic attitude with which they moved did not feel particularly different from that of the people they had seen in their original world.

「The residents of this city seem to be using things we don't know, but only that. Besides that, they don't look different from us, *Sigh*」

Palna said, with her hand resting against her cheek, while looking with a little regret at the people, who made her think that things had not changed much compared to how everything was in Earth Clear.

「Hey ~, hey ~, you also had electricity in Earth Clear, isn't it? Well, the generators should have been too expensive to be used anywhere besides the Game Center and the casinos. Anyway, the facilities in Noah are similar. We cannot distribute electricity everywhere, so we have limited its use to keep the means of transport of people and merchandise in operation as well as the surveillance and lighting systems, we have also dedicated a portion of the electricity to power the Digder's• Relic • energy sources. That's why life here shouldn't be too different from how it is in Earth Clear」

NT: At first, I thought that with Digder they refer to some type of excavator, however, later it is shown that it is not the case. Because of that, I will “translate” it as “Relic”, since that seems to be the most appropriate. Also… yes, Digder seem to be on English with Katakana… or that's what I think at least.

「¿… Digder• Relic •?」

「Huh~, look, do you see that thing that moves on the ground? In the past we called them Monorail or Truck, but now it is one of the many machines that consume large amounts of electricity that we call Digder• Relic •」

Rex couldn't help tilting his head while looking at the steel box, no, the machine Yuki had aimed at. The machine, which was surrounded by numerous colored lights, was moving along the ground along the road.

「It actually only carries a small amount of supplies and groceries, but it moves throughout the whole city. There are those who have tried to do business by trading with imitations of lower quality supplies. But do you think they can imitate that? I feel that everyone, like the humans we are, must do everything on our hands to exchange things that we really can use with each other if we really want to live out there again someday, as we did in the past」

After hearing the words murmured by Yuki, who seemed to have a look of sadness, Alice noticed something out of the corner of her eye. In one of the dark alleys of the city, there were several people in a clear bad state, however, there still seemed to be some hope in their eyes. Then, after leaving the alley, back to the street, each and every one of them returned to act as lively as the rest.

After seeing more carefully, Alice noticed that the gaze of the people who were walking down the street also looked somewhat empty, however, at the same time, they seemed to continue to cling to a tiny hope.

「Do the colored lights of the Digder• Relic • bother you? Ughh, and that we installed those to distract people. Although now it seems only get the children's attention」

「Why do they have different clothes? Are they from a slum…?」

「More or less, everyone have to prepare their own clothes after all. I told you that we were delivering supplies, right? Sometimes we deliver fabrics, and with it they make their clothes, but … there are those who believe they cannot escape from the life they have, so they only care about eating and staying alive. The children of people like that don't have much to work with, so they end up looking like that」

After hearing that, Alice looked at her own outfit. After knowing about the deplorable situation in which others were, she could not help feeling bad about having her clothes prepared by others.

「I will recommend that you stop worrying about others in the city, since you will only get them to see you with bad eyes… just make sure you keep walking with dignity」

Mary said with a sharp look, making sure Alice forgot the idea of ​​helping the people of the city.

「Now that I think about it, you haven't told us anything. What are we… supposed to do?」

Rex asked as he continued walking down the street.

「Basically, the same thing you did in Earth Clear. It all depends on the unit to which you belong… and since you belong to the same recapture team as us… your job will be to defeat enemies. I'll tell you more when we get to the headquarters」

「… I see. But what about you, Yuki…? You seem to be quite familiar with Earth Clear. That means that you, the people of Earth, are aware of the circumstances in Earth Clear?」

「Everyone knows about Earth Clear, but only those who have been there know what goes on inside」

After hearing those words, everyone muttered, 「Eh?」, as they opened their eyes wide. None of them could believe that a girl who seemed to be the same age as them could have defeated the Demon King or gathered 10,000 Gold.

「It may surprise you, but she came here 5 years ago… when she was still 17 years old. She did not defeat the Demon King, but gathered 10,000 Golds. She was a very talented merchant of level 117, so she didn't have too much trouble to do it」

「Now that I think about it, Mary-sa… Mary-chan, you also came from Earth Clear, isn't it?」

「Oi, why do you ask that now?」

「There's no reason, it's just something I want to clarify」

Tina looked at Mary, who was smaller than her, and then, after imagining Alice in her head, she put her hand on Mary's head and began to pat her relaxedly.

At that, Mary pushed Tina's hand away while shouting, 「Stop! Do not touch me! Don't treat me like a girl! I'm already 14 years old!」, With a threatening tone.

NT: As always, if you find something weird, whatever, just tell me in the comments
