Chapter 99. Genzai Innovations

"Wow... Master! It’s beautiful!" Tama exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as she admired the masterpiece I’ve created before her.Standing proudly in front of them was a sturdy six-roomed house, crafted with perfection. Every detail—the rooms, windows, passages—was accounted for. Well, except for one crucial thing... the toilet.

I had no idea how to create a flushing system using geomancy!

While Tama looked awestruck, Rin, on the other hand, remained unimpressed.

She simply glanced at me, nodded, then stretched her hands forward.

Without warning, a massive ten-roomed house erupted from the ground—perfect, polished, and pristine.

My eyes widened in shock. I rushed inside to inspect it, hoping to find a flaw.

To my heartbreak, it even had a freaking toilet!

Defeated, I trudged back outside, shooting Rin a tired look. "Hoi. If you knew geomancy, then why didn’t you build houses from the start?"

Honestly!hat looked suspiciously like a phone. The one he once told me he planned to use it to take pictures of girls and blackmail them into sleeping with him.

Yet, surprisingly, he had never actually done it.

As I approached the shop which was tucked behind other buildings and a little far from the main road, l was shocked by its sign:

Genzai Innovations?

That’s... Japanese!

A text from my native language? In a fantasy world?

Feeling curious, I stepped inside.

The shop wasn’t as big as Ivy’s grocery store, but its contents were mind-blowing.

Everywhere I looked, I saw gadgets eerily similar to those from my past life—phones, laptops, TVs, even radios!

Although they leaned more toward magic than technology, their designs were unmistakably familiar.

Could someone else from my world be here?

"Good afternoon, ma’am," I greeted the shopkeeper, who had been staring at me like I was about to rob the place. Not surprising—my gawking must have looked creepy.

"Good afternoon. How can we help you?" she asked calmly.



"I’d like to meet the owner of this shop, if possible."

Her brow arched. "That’s impossible."

I frowned. "Why not?"

"The owner doesn’t live around here. This is just one of his shop branches."

His? So he’s a man, huh?

"Then where’s his headquarters?" I pressed.

"I’m afraid I can’t disclose the boss’s personal information to strangers," she said firmly.

No use pushing further. I let it go with a frustrated sigh.

"Fine," I grumbled, turning to check the prices.

The next moment, my eyeballs nearly fell out of their sockets.

"500,000 gold coins for a laptop?!" I blurted out.

The shopkeeper gave me a deadpan look. "That’s called a mana-script, sir."

"Yeah, whatever," I muttered.

What a weird-ass name.

I slumped onto a bench outside, waiting for what felt like an eternity before Adrian finally arrived.

Dressed in fine black trousers and a white button-up shirt left open at the top, revealing a white vest underneath, he looked annoyingly stylish. His long sleeves were rolled up, his purple hair perfectly brushed, and of course, his signature eyeglasses completed the look.

I groaned. "Took you long enough. I didn’t call you for a date, you know."

He clutched his chest dramatically. "Asherman, my dear friend, a true gentleman dresses like he’s attending an occasion—at all times."

I smirked. "Oh really? You sure you’re not dressing up just so Tama will notice you?"

His face twisted in disgust. "What? As if I’d dress up for that alley cat!" He clenched his fists. "Just saying her name makes me wanna throw up!"

I stood up, and patted his shoulder, chuckling. "Fine, fine. Let’s go."

"Wait... I need to buy something first."

He stepped into the shop, tossing some coins to the shopkeeper—seemed like he was a regular here—and returned with a small bottle in hand.

Then, he sprayed it on himself.

My heart skipped a beat.

That scent...!



"Hey! Let me see that bottle, Four Eyes!" I demanded.

"Whoa, chill out! You’ll break it! This ’Water of the Gods’ is expensive!" Adrian grumbled.

Ignoring him, I grabbed the bottle and sprayed it on myself.

No doubt about it—this was cologne.

Who the hell in this world could invent cologne?

My curiosity about Genzai Innovations skyrocketed. Whoever was behind the production of these items, l had to know him at all costs.

With a deep sigh, I led Four Eyes to a quiet spot where we teleported back to my realm.

Arriving there, the girls came to greet me, but when Tama saw Adrian, she narrowed her eyes, her ears twitching slightly. She crossed her arms, let out a small hmph, and turned away.

Adrian scoffed, placing his hands on his hips before looking off to the side as well, his jaw tightening for just a second.

These two... their rivalry doesn’t look like just about hatred.

But something else neither of them want to admit.
