NO. 11: Libya, I advise you not to interfere.

The Holy Terra Federation, as today's sole global authority, has no cumbersome nation names—only districts.

=> "The Holy Terra Federation, as the sole regime on present-day Earth, has no those complicated country names; there are only districts." Need to be faithful.

Even so, those districts are the result of merging or preserving the original nations and civilizations.

Fusion—for example, the Gate District covering the lands of multiple East Asian nations, or the Hongying District covering an entire island.

Preservation, on the other hand, is exemplified by large districts such as Dongyan, Jidong, and Anmei.

That is, in some city names that remain unchanged.

No harsh winter, no scorching summer; thus it is not unsuitable as a holiday destination.

As long as you can get used to the local food culture and accept the pace of life here.

Omer feels his judgment may be a bit hasty, but he currently has no intention of retracting that assessment.

While in the Gate District, he often lamented that the surrounding pace was too hectic.

And in the Hongying District...

If he could choose from scratch, he would actually appreciate Hongying District's leisurely pace of life.

Even the occasional strikes and street protests are enviable, possessing a beauty of 'order beneath chaos,' and have great observational value.

But when the procedures for visiting the Clock Tower keep being shuffled around, he can't help but criticize this bunch of idiots.

Especially the final official in this process, who struck a pose as if preparing to have afternoon tea—

=> "Especially the final official in this process, who put on the posture of preparing to have afternoon tea—"

It's only two o'clock in the afternoon.

=> "It's only two o'clock in the afternoon."

You lot, with your hooked noses, shouldn't your afternoon tea be around four o'clock?

=> "You lot of hook-nosed old-timers, shouldn't your afternoon tea be around four?"

What kind of work rules and environment could breed such blatant slacking-off behavior?

Still in formal attire, Omer stands before the closed office door, one hand gripping his briefcase, the other holding a few pages of documents that need to be taken to the front desk for further stamping.

At first glance he looks like a corporate drone.

=> "At first glance he looked like a corporate slave."

But he's actually on vacation!

=> "But he was on vacation!"

A short vacation he specially discussed with his female subordinates, during which he changed his outfit entirely—no longer the three-piece suit he wore yesterday when visiting the Desert Heroine, but a slimmer casual suit that doesn't meet workplace standards.

=> "After deliberately discussing a short vacation with his female subordinates, he even changed his outfit entirely—no longer the three-piece suit he wore yesterday when visiting the Desert Heroine, but a slimmer casual suit that does not meet workplace standards."

This is also to blend in with the local environment, just as the passersby around him right now really don't pay attention to him standing at the door.

=> "This was also to blend into the local environment, just as the passersby around him at the moment really didn't pay much attention to him standing at the door."

That's really annoying!

Although he had thought that visiting the Clock Tower in Canaan City would be extremely smooth, thanks to his special status and his role as a logistics staffer for Penguin Logistics—whose work directly interfaces with the Clock Tower—it would have been very smooth.

=> "Although he had thought that visiting the Clock Tower in Canaan City would be extremely smooth, thanks to his special status and being a logistics staff member of Penguin Logistics, whose work directly interfaces with the Clock Tower... so it would be very smooth."

But he still didn't expect that normal contact with the Clock Tower would be this troublesome.

=> "But he still didn't expect that normal contact with the Clock Tower would be this troublesome."

As a special institution that combines the officially recognized 'Travelers' Armed Organization' and the 'Large-Scale Source Energy Academic Exchange Department,' the Clock Tower has a complex reputation, yet indeed it also has fairly high visitation requirements.

But I'm not here to study... I'm just visiting; the procedures are just a bit troublesome, right?

=> "But I'm not here to study... just visiting, the procedures are just a bit troublesome, right?"

Can saying thanks really be this troublesome?

=> "Can saying thanks be this troublesome?"

Just thinking about how he confidently told Sirius's symbol yesterday while cooking, and how he felt full of confidence this morning when setting out, makes him feel even more vexed.

=> "Just thinking about how he had spoken confidently to the Sirius Symbol yesterday while cooking, and how he was full of confidence when setting out this morning, he felt even more vexed."

Today his purpose is to visit El-Melloi II and formally thank Miss Grey and the Desert Heroine for their assistance that day.

=> "His purpose today is to visit El-Melloi II, while formally thanking Miss Grey and the Desert Heroine for their help that day."

Of course, Ms. Morgan, who brought those two to the Digital World, is also on his list of thanks.

=> "Of course, Ms. Morgan, who was responsible for bringing the two of them to the Digital World, is also on his list of thanks."

But because their two performances made him feel they were hard to approach, he also considers whether to use the former's help to convey his thanks.

=> "Just because the other party's two performances made him feel they were hard to approach, he also considered whether to use the former's help to convey his thanks."

But the current situation is that he hasn't even entered the organization's main gate yet.

=> "—but the current situation is that he hasn't even entered the organization's main gate."

He wrinkled his nose, then Omer raised his hand and dragged the side-screen light panel to the front.

=> "He rubbed his nose bridge, then Aomo raised his hand and dragged the light screen from his side to the front."

He is considering whether to give Sirius's symbol a call.

The horse racing industry in Hongying District has always been promising; perhaps he expects some intercity influence from the Symbol family.

=> "The horse racing industry in the Hongying District has always been promising; perhaps he had some expectations for the intercity influence of the Symbol family."

But when he thinks that, he feels it would be better to contact Miss Dongshang Reform than to communicate with that first-class star.

=> "But when he thought that, he felt it would be better to contact Miss Dongshang Reform than to communicate with that first-class star."

At least these two are genuinely related to the Clock Tower.

=> "At least these two are genuinely related to the Clock Tower."

As for directly contacting the Desert Heroine and Miss Grey...

=> "As for directly contacting the Desert Heroine and Miss Grey..."

Omer has always regarded gratitude as a one-way feedback; if he were to inform the other party in advance to prepare for receiving his thanks...

=> "Aomo has always regarded thanks as a one-way feedback; if he were to inform the other party in advance to prepare for receiving his thanks..."

... it would either raise expectations or cause trouble.

Um, maybe I could just contact Miss Rin Tōsaka directly? Is my thinking being influenced by the Far East District?

=> "Emmm, contacting Miss Rin Tōsaka directly would also be fine? Has my thought process been influenced by Jidong?"

Omer falls into contemplation, thinking perhaps he should be more direct.

=> "Aomo fell into contemplation, thinking perhaps he should be more direct."

Looking again at the paper in his hand that had wasted an hour of his time, he simply tossed it into the trash, suddenly feeling the world open up, and briskly walked out of the building that had given him gloom.

=> "Looking again at the document paper in his hand that had already wasted an hour of his time, he simply tossed it into the trash, suddenly feeling the world open up, and briskly walked out of the building that had given him gloom."

Then he heard a familiar tune that made him instinctively raise a hand to his forehead.

=> "Then he heard a familiar strain of music that made him involuntarily raise his hand to his forehead."

A chromatic harmonica solo gave him a slight headache.

=> "A chromatic harmonica solo, giving him a slight headache."

"When I need your help and can't reach you, you immediately give me a hard time—isn't that a bit excessive?"

=> ""When you need my help you can't reach me, and then you come at me with a show of force—isn't that a bit excessive?""

He turned his head and gazed at the man approaching with closed eyes.

=> "He turned his head, gazing at the man approaching with closed eyes."

I'm super, O!

An extraterrestrial traveler from O50, focusing on the harmonica at the side of the cheek, walked closer step by step, attracting too many passersby's gazes.

It also made Aomo's gaze even more speechless.

Moreover, I deliberately chose a brand-new outfit to avoid attracting attention.

When he applied for a job in Te Lei Sen, he never dressed this formally, although that was also because his wardrobe really didn't have such expensive custom-made clothing at the time.

But even after hearing his complaint, the other party stubbornly kept playing the O50 little tune for nearly 12S, only then opening his eyes and also putting down that solo harmonica surrounded by damn many surroundings.

So that's the reason...

Upon opening his eyes, he sized up Aomo's posture; this Light Warrior who had shown no reaction in the digital world examined him with a quite serious gaze.

He then gave a dry laugh: "Sorry sorry, I couldn't help it the moment I saw your back."

He said, then suddenly asked: "So, do you feel any discomfort?"

What?

Aomo, asked like that, froze for a moment, looking at the harmonica still pinched in his hand, then realized, feeling somewhat speechless.

"If I say I feel a bit, will I be silenced?"

Kai's harmonica, which can also be called an Oubu harmonica, has a tone that makes dark-hearted people feel uncomfortable, once causing even Jia Gu La and many other extraterrestrials to get headaches.

Knowing this premise, understanding his question is enough to understand why Aomo furrowed his brow.

"No, you admitting it directly actually makes me happy." He laughed, then patted Aomo's shoulder.

"I watched the battle recording of you and that monster."

This made Aomo wonder who recorded it, and then he heard the other party's next line:

"But rather than praising your achievements, I'm more worried about your condition."

"It's just getting more thoroughly in touch with your own dark side."

Aomo, who still thought stating his position was more important, shook his head.

"Not only is it not worth worrying about, but you should actually feel happy."

"Now it can indeed be confirmed: some people spend thousands of years to achieve this, and you have already crossed it," this guy, who was extremely striking in Aomo's deep-red glowing eyes, after removing the demon's perspective, had a refreshingly frank face, "You're really amazing!"

"The person you're talking about would probably stab you if they heard that, and what the hell kind of speed is this……"

"Isn't it that a certain crown prince of the Galactic Empire already had his name spread across the M78 Nebula while still at the embryonic stage of an Ultraman?"

"Ultra fast, ah, this efficiency of wearing mourning clothes."

Aomo silently felt wicked in his heart, while the social butterfly wanderer was still in high spirits.

"Those enemies like the hundred-bodied monster have all been defeated by you."

"Xin Er directly reported to the Land of Light office in Heaven Gate City, and after a while, maybe an Ultraman warrior will come to commend you, or maybe not."

Huh?
