Chapter 705 Amused By Phones

Inside a sacred shrine, Lith was teleported out.

Looking around, he saw the other five Chosen Ones.

Mr. Carrot was nowhere to be seen and Lith had no idea what to do in this situation, other than stand quietly in his place.

Ten minutes passed with nobody saying anything. Having nothing to do, Lith sat down and took out his phone, trying to play some games to pass time.

As he played for a bit, the sound from the game attracted the five's attention.

"What's the noise?" Tsuki asked, not hiding the fact that she was looking at Lith.

Sebastian and Anne were also looking but Iki and Ariel were trying not to make it obvious while seemingly appearing uninterested.

Lith looked up at Tsuki and asked, "what noise?"

There was no strange sound that Lith heard and was wondering what Tsuki was asking.

Tsuki pointed at Lith's hands. "That. What is with the sound coming from the thing you're holding."

Lith showed his phone and asked, "this?"

Tsuki nodded.

"You don't know what this is?" 

Tsuki shook her head.

Lith was slightly surprised. This was the first time in both his lives that he came across someone who didn't know about the existence of phones.

He showed it to Sebastian and Anne who were looking as well and asked, "you don't know either?"

Sebastian shook his head while Anne just continued to stare at Lith with a neutral gaze.

"Interesting." Lith smiled, after understanding this fact.

"Are you not going to tell us?" Tsuki asked, slightly impatient.

Lith shook his head. "I don't mind telling you, but that carrot bastard would come any moment and send us somewhere."

"No, he won't." Tsuki replied instantly.

"What?"

Sebastian leaned against the wall and said, adding himself into the conversation, "he had come here a while ago and said the next trial will start half a day later."

"Oh." Lith understood now. "So, what are we supposed to do until then?"

"Anything we want." Sebastian answered flatly.

Lith nodded. "Alright. Come here, I'll show you something good." 

"Yay!~" Tsuki said cheerfully and flocked to Lith while the rest had some suspicions.

Lith gave a look to them and shook his head. If it were him in their shoes, he wouldn't trust anyone either and could understand where they were coming from.

As for Tsuki, she was comfortable with Lith and everyone here because they had been through a life and death trial before. She had no idea why, but she trusted the ones in this room.𝐧𝔬𝒱𝓮𝓵𝗎𝑠𝓫.𝑐𝐎𝓂

Lith showed Tsuki the game on her phone. It was an RPG. 

Tsuki was amazed by it and started playing it on her own by taking it away from Lith.

Lith took out another phone from his pocket and started watching cute animal videos on it.

Eventually, Sebastian's interest was raised and he came close to Lith as well, wanting to know more.

Lith told him what it was and showed him the video he was looking at.

Sebastian put on a neutral expression on his face but with the way his eyes were glued to the phone, Lith was sure he liked it.

The three spent time on their phones and after an hour or so, Ariel was the one who gave up and asked Lith about the thing in his hand.

She was someone hungry for knowledge and was really curious about this strange artifact that made noise.

She went close to Lith and asked in a soft tone, "can I see it?"

She had overheard the things about it and there was only a practical experience remaining. 

Lith nodded and handed her another phone from his ring. I think you should take a look at

He had quite a few phones on him because they offered various features such as one having a good camera, one working only in the Dragon Continent, and so on.

Ariel took the phone and started looking through it.

Not even a second had passed when she became amazed and said in a calm yet surprised tone, "I… I can see magic circles on this."

"It's like a mirror but only shows reflection…"

Her ways of describing a phone were cute.

For the first time Lith realized phones could be described in so many ways by a person who was just experiencing it.

Ariel's descriptions made Anne curious as well. She said she could see magic circles and Anne wanted to see what it was that contained it.

She went to Lith and looking at him with a serious gaze, said calmly, "Can I see it as well?"

Her tone wasn't haughty nor was it pleading. She spoke to Lith as equals and there was nothing more to it.

Anne was a prideful person and getting her to be in such terms was something not anyone could do.

Lith wasn't aware of it and even if he was, he wouldn't feel much about it anyway.

"Here." Lith handed her a phone.

Anne took it and examined it. She had no idea what this black looking flat brick was. 

"Press the button on the side." Lith guided her.

Anne did and the screen lit up, surprising her. 

She kept her surprise within her and followed Lith's instructions.

Eventually, she started looking at the content she wanted.

At first Lith showed her some cute animals, but Anne didn't like it. She preferred necromancy content and Lith guided her to it.

Except Iki, everyone was busy with their phones.

Even after an hour, Iki didn't bother himself with the rest and quietly stood in his spot, staring at empty space as if he was fighting heart demons.

Not wanting to have the guy be left out, Lith said, "Hey, you're not going to join us?"

Iki didn't respond.

"Ikiiii!~" Tsuki called out, to which Iki turned his head towards her, his face still serious.

"Come here, see this." Tsuki gestured to him to come closer.

Iki blinked and just stared at her.

"You'll like it, give it a try." Lith insisted and threw a phone towards Iki.

Iki put his hand out and didn't need to make much movement to catch it. 

He looked at the phone and could see people within it, moving and battling.

Iki was slightly surprised by it and continued to watch the stuff.

Lith went close to him this time.

"Not only can you see battles, you can also learn things here, and do so much more."

Lith started sharing the things he felt might interest Iki. 

Soon, when he was done, Iki did a small bow and said, "my gratitude."

That was the only thing Lith had heard from him after the last trial where he gave out an advice.

Lith smiled and said, "it's not a big deal. Come with me, join the rest. It's not good to be lonely like this."

Lith convinced Iki to get into the group looking at phones and just like that, due to a simple phone, Lith ended up bringing the group much closer than before.

The five talked to Lith whenever they felt they didn't understand something and eventually, everyone got the hang of it and could use the phones on their own.

Half a day passed and the rabbit-man was back again.

"Kekeke, looks like you all are enjoying yourselves, aren't you?"
