A certain scientific Saten Ruiko

Saten suddenly became flattering, twisting a corner of Euthinus's hair, and smiled very sincerely: "Speaking of which, how about you teach me how to rotate the earth? I'll try to see if it works. If it works, we can save a lot of effort, right?"

"you?"

“Hmmmmmmヽ(○^?^)??”

Othinus looked at Saten carefully and shook his head: "No."

"Eh? Why?"

"Nothing. Not to mention that you already have similar means, you are not capable of rotating the earth without affecting the creatures on earth. If you use it rashly, you will cause a global earthquake and tsunami."

"Uh...it's really a big blow..."

Although he understood what the other party was worried about, Saten still felt a little hit. It seemed that he was still not strong enough and he had to keep working hard.

Well, that’s it, let’s set a small goal first, to become an immortal in three years!!!

Afterwards, the three of them successfully arrived at the town and found a truck driver who was willing to give them a ride. Although it was not a direct ride to their destination, at least they could save hundreds of kilometers of travel.

Of course, the premise is that nothing unexpected happens...

Yes, the current situation is that the truck broke down halfway.

The three of them got out of the car reluctantly. The driver was checking the situation at this time and found that it was because the battery was dead.

"I remember there's a gas station nearby. I can just go there and change the battery."

Kamijou Touma looked at the white horizon in front, behind, and on both sides and sighed: "Ah... Generally speaking, is this what we call a disaster?"

(As expected, I have no luck with Kamijou around.)

After complaining in her heart, Saten Ruiko looked down at her navigation watch and muttered, "Not really. After all, if we get into trouble, even food won't be a problem. We don't lack food, and people have told us there's a gas station nearby. We can just change our gear and get back on the road. This is much better than getting into trouble, brother."

"You don't even call me senior now..."

“Although my ID card shows I’m younger than you, my actual age is the same as yours.” Saten responded to Kamijou’s complaint while looking into the distance.

At this time, the truck driver was still fighting with his beloved car, but after all, there was probably nothing he could do before getting a new battery.

“By the way, how far are we from the small town we were in before?” Kamijou looked in the direction they came from. Although all he saw was white, he still wanted to see something seriously.

“You’re not planning on going back the same way, are you?” Othinus glanced at Kamijou and reminded him, “If you’re thinking that, I have to remind you that if you choose to abandon the truck and walk back, the distance may be a hundred times the round trip to the gas station.”

"Don't think about those unrealistic things. Come with me. It seems the distance shouldn't be too far." Riri Saotome passed by the two of them and motioned them to follow. As for the truck driver, he chose to stay and watch the cargo in the truck.

In fact, the three of them walked less than a kilometer before they found a standard small-floor store.

However, the three of them did not find any clerk in the store.

"It looks like a self-service store."

“Well, I’ve never heard of being able to buy truck batteries in a vending machine.” Kamijou Touma sighed.

Looking around, in addition to a coin-operated gas pump and a half-frozen car washing machine, there is also a square space surrounded by a thick layer of glass. Behind the glass are brand new tires and other auto parts and other items.

From this point, it can be seen that this is not a fully self-service store. At least there should be staff there on days when there is no heavy snow.

Othinus pointed to something behind the glass and said, "What is that? It's just a battery. Just break the glass and take it away."

“Shut up!! Not to mention that the entrance door can be opened with just a push. If you destroy things and take them away without the staff around, wouldn’t that be theft?” Kamijou Touma complained loudly with a headache on his face.

In response to the complaints, Saten added: "Ah, let me correct it. Stealing is taking something away secretly without paying, and what Othinus said about smashing the glass is obviously robbery."

“That’s not what we’re focusing on right now,” Kamijou Touma held his forehead with his hand.

The three of them walked into the store while talking.

"Anyway, just put more money on the counter. After all, it would be a surprise to give people a little extra money. But how much money is appropriate?" Riri Saotome turned her gaze to Othinus. Although she had a lot of knowledge, she didn't live here, so she didn't know much about these things.

"About five hundred crowns." Othinus thought for a moment and held up five fingers.

"Oh, that's not too expensive." Riri Saotome nodded slightly, thinking it was somewhat acceptable.

“Um…” Kamijou Touma raised his hand like a primary school student. “How much is five hundred crowns?”

"Just 10,000 yen." Saten Ruiko said as she took out two 5,000 yen bills and placed them on the counter. Although this side supported it, there was nothing she could do. She could only ask the clerk to go to the local bank to exchange them into US dollars and then into kronor.

“So expensive!!”

Kamijou Touma couldn't help but exclaim, this is enough for him to be hospitalized several times. (After reimbursement)

"I didn't spend your money. Anyway, you're the one who complained the most, but you're pretty quick."

Riri Saten complained that although Kamijou was complaining about how expensive it was, his actions were not slow at all.

Kamijou Touma took the battery out of its packaging and connected the charging connector to the plug next to the electric meter.

In response, Othinus took the opportunity to complain: "Hey, stealing electricity is considered theft, right?"

"We've already spent so much money, and they just turned a blind eye to such a small thing. Damn it, the battery is really out!!"

Kamijou Touma retorted.

“Vikings.”

Othinus curled his lips, but didn't say anything more. Instead, he walked to the sofa in what seemed to be the smoking area and sat down. At this time, Riri Saten was already sitting there.

Saten Ruiko stared at the battery that was still charging, and muttered in her heart: "It would be better if I brought Mikoto with me. Anyway, I think I can charge it now... Never mind. If I tell him that I can charge it, Kamijou will definitely complain a lot, like "I could have charged the truck battery directly, but I ended up driving so much further and spending so much money."
