Something\'s Up

[Ace POV],

\'Ah\'

As I sat on the chair in the center of the four tables in my \'lab\' look alike, I sighed and thought of something that had been on my mind for quite some time, not because I cared, but because I felt something was wrong somewhere.

What I was thinking was why I hadn\'t seen any of my teammates till now.

It was quite strange.

For one thing, I expected to meet Anna in the alternate dimension when I arrived, and despite being the first person to arrive, I expected to see her within a few hours, given the time difference between the true world and the alternate dimension.

But if I add up the time I spent here since I first arrived and everything that has happened, I should have spent at least 10 hours here.

I\'m not sure how much time there is between the true world and the alternate dimension, but I knew that the amount of time I spent here should also reflect a longer time in the outside world, so why haven\'t I seen any of them yet?

It was suspiciously strange.

Putting aside Emma and Chris, Anna should have come back by now since even if she encounters any danger, she can avoid most of them by flying away except the enemy she encountered was too strong or was like her and could fly.

In addition to rank 1 species, there were not many things that could endanger her life except for stronger creatures and perhaps mysterious happenings.

Hmmm.

But since I wasn\'t in the true world right now, I couldn\'t contact her so there was no way for me to know about her well-being.

As for Emma and Chris, I didn\'t even know their names.

[In the previous chapter, I made an error. It is impossible to communicate with another person if their dimensions are different. I\'m not sure which chapter this error is in, so please leave a comment and let me know if you remember. Thank you very much.]

As I pondered these thoughts, I turned to look at the tables around me, which still had the leftover materials from before and decided to make some pills for stock and backup.

Of course, I could have decided to make another runic weapon, but I was confident that my previous success was nothing more than a lucky fluke.

Perhaps it wasn\'t a fluke and I could succeed in creating another runic weapon, but the process was too time-consuming and I didn\'t want to deal with the stress of making one while the exhaustion from the previous one was still affecting me.

I\'d rather use this time, while I still had energy, to make something relatively less stressful, like pills, that didn\'t require that much of a complicated process to make.

I couldn\'t give up making pills just because I had some success making another item with alchemy, especially since I was on my way to becoming a trainee alchemist with it.

Aside from that, I liked the sensation of making pills, so it was a plus all around.

With these thoughts in mind, I took out the caldron from my storage and began to make pills while pondering whether I should try to make other basic pills to add to the mix.

As these events unfolded gradually, the basement soon filled with the fragrance of various pills.

...…

I decided to take a break after spending a few more hours creating pills to replenish my stock and increase my familiarity with the process.

While I had a powerful body, that didn\'t mean I could ignore basic human needs like sleeping and resting.

It\'s similar to how I didn\'t need to eat as frequently as I used to but still do because I need it at some point.

As I considered these things, I made my way to my basement room after clearing the area around me a little.

Even though my intention had only been to take a brief snooze after all of this, I quickly fell asleep after laying down on my bed.

...…..

\'Ugh\'

I muttered as I slowly turned to open my eyes, and when I realized that the short rest I had planned turned out to be me sleeping, I didn\'t bother thinking about it as I got out of bed and walked out of my room to the staircase leading to the surface above the basement.

\'The rest should be back by now,\' I reasoned as I began to wonder what time it was.

As I was thinking about this and a few other random thoughts, I arrived in the mansion\'s living room, which held the staircase that led to the basement, and without bothering to observe the always dimly lit room and mansion as a whole, I made my way to my teammate\'s room, where I still found no one.

I had no reaction at first, and since I didn\'t have anything better to do at the time, I took advantage of the opportunity to walk around the mansion in search of them, but I still found no one.

When I saw this, I knew something was definitely wrong somewhere.

It was either that they were never going to return or that they had something holding them back.

Whatever the case, something was definitely wrong.

In any case, it would be great if I could make contact with them to obtain information, but this would have to happen when I am outside because the contact system will only be useful when I am in the true world, where the people on my contact list are.

My suspicions were reinforced when I emerged from the mansion to discover that it was already daytime.

This alone was enough to convince me that a long time had passed in the outside world, but I\'d soon find out what was going on because I still needed to go hunting.

I prepared to leave with this thought in mind.
