chapter 299 - The Other Side ll
"T-Tina?... What happened?"
Taufik asked worriedly when he saw Tina suddenly crying when she woke up.
"M-Master... "
"Y-Yes?"
"How... How can you just leave me like that?"
"Huh? W-What? I'm here you know?"
"That's not what I mean... "
Tina said, then got up from her sleep and then sat beside Taufik.
"... I mean in the past, you know how shocked am I when I go visit the Kingdom and find you've already left, it's makes me so sad, you know"
"O-Oh~ You mean at that time... Uh~ At that time... I-I don't have much time left, you see... So I just go back straight to the future... But hey, I'm here right now, and we already meet... So it's alright... Right?"
Taufik said with a little hesitation, at that time, he did not 'have time' to say goodbye to Tina and immediately went back, but he did not expect Tina to react like this.
"This and that is a different matter, Master... But that's already happening so I can't do something about that, but-"
"S-See? That's what I mean, There's nothing we can do about that... We can change something that's already happening"
"..."
"... Why are you looking at me like that?"
Taufik asked because he saw Tina looking at him like someone looking at someone who was telling a lie to someone who already knew that what he was saying was a lie.
"You know that you are not someone who should say that, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"Master, I am someone who has gone through two world histories in the same world, and it's all because of you, what you did was not just changing what had happened but completely rewriting the history of this world... saying something like that, I don't think it suits you"
Hearing what Tina said, Taufik could only remain silent without being able to say anything to defend himself, because that was the truth.
"... *Sigh* let's stop talking about that... I know I'm wrong and I'm sorry for leaving without saying anything to you"
"*Hmmp~* I'll forgive you if you do something for me"
"... What do you want? I'll do it if I can"
"Nothing much, I'll just want you to fulfill your promise that you said to me the day before you go to the past, only that"
Tina said while looking at Taufik with a seductive gaze.
Hearing Tina's request, Taufik immediately remembered the promise he had made to Tina, this immediately made him look tired, and he then said in a tired tone.
"... Ahh, that promise... *Sigh* In the end is always about 'Making' a baby again... Alright, let's do that later"
"Horee! Hehe~ As expected from my master"
"Yeah~ Yeah~ Enough about this "baby-making" Topic, and let's move to another Topic Because right now, after seeing what happened to Jenn, I don't want to talk about that kind of thing..."
Said Taufik while lowering his head, and with a sigh that did not escape from his mouth. Taufik then took a deep breath and then leaned back on the back of the bench.
'... Who said having many wives is good? Look at me now, struggling because of women's demand to have children, I don't know if I should be happy about this or not, Hahh~'
After done saying that inwardly, Taufik then looked at Tina with a serious face and then asked.
"... So you've remembered everything, right?"
"Yes"
"Good, then back to my earlier questions, what happened to the Saranjana Kingdoms after I left?"
After hearing that, Tina showed a thoughtful face with one finger touching her lips.
"... Hmm~ After you leave, nothing much exactly happens to the Kingdoms, It can be said that the Saranjana Kingdom continued to develop, or more precisely, it developed very rapidly. At that time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the technology possessed by the Saranjana Kingdom in that century was more advanced than what humans possess in the current century"
"Really?"
"Yes, We've even already developed the flying car even before the humans in this Century do, and all of the residents of the Saranjana Kingdom even have that flying car, It is like an ordinary item for the residents of the Saranjana Kingdom, whereas currently, only certain people can have the flying car because the manufacturing process is very expensive and takes a very long time, that is why currently most people prefer to use flying brooms as a means of transportation because flying brooms are cheaper and also easier to use"
"... I see, that's good to hear, so what happened to the Kingdom right now?"
Hearing Taufik's question, Tina then became silent; seeing Tina like this, Taufik felt uneasy, and various scenarios began to spin in his head, starting from the Olympian gods attacking the Saranjana kingdom to various other things.
"... Wait!... Don't tell me... Did the Saranjana Kingdom-"
"No... It's not like what Master thinks, Saranjana kingdom is Fine or that's what I believe"
Said Tina who cut Taufik's words. But hearing Tina's words, Taufik only felt more uncomfortable.
"... What do you mean? Talk more clearly, Tina, please!"
Hearing that, Tina looked even more hesitant, but she still had to answer Taufik's question, so with a hesitant expression, Tina then looked at Taufik and said.
"... Actually, after the great war, I lost contact with the Saranjana Kingdom, it's like they suddenly disappeared from the world... And after that, I also decided to hibernate and you know, after that, I didn't know anything else until Master came and woke me up"

"What? So, the war is still happening? What happens in that war? Which kingdom starting it?"
Facing Taufik's question, Tina was silent for a moment while looking at Taufik with her head tilted slightly. Then said.
"... Um, Master, I think you misunderstanding something here"
"Huh? Misunderstanding? Me? Really? Which part?"
"... Wait, Master, do you still have your phone with you?"
"My phone? Yes, but what does my phone have to do with this?"
"... Just take it out first"
"... Okay"
Taufik said. Then even though he was still confused about why Tina told him to take his phone, Taufik still took his phone out of his inventory.
"Here... Huh?"
Taufik said, but he was immediately confused when he tried to turn on his phone but the phone wouldn't turn on.
'... Why I can turn this thing On? Isn't the time for items in the inventory stopped? And I never took this out of the inventory at all, what happened, system?'
[... From what I can analyze, Master's phone can no longer be used because there is no provider for your phone at this time]
'No Provider? What the hell you talking about? This phone is the latest version that I purchased; what do you mean with no provider?'
[I have no further information about it]
'... What?'
"Hum~ Like I thought"
Said Tina who saw the phone in Taufik's hand.
"What?"
"Master that thing on your hand... Most Humans don't use that thing anymore, it's very outdated and it is rare to produce, most of the provider was disconnected a long time ago and Some brands of phones are no longer usable, seeing as your phone won't turn on, it seems like it's one of those brands, so you could say what you have in your hand is an antique"
"... W-What? But..."
Said Taufik, but after that he remembered something, when he was at the reception desk, although he didn't pay much attention to it because his mind was focused on something more important at that time, but from what he saw and remembered, the computer that the annoying receptionist woman used did look like something that Taufik had never seen before.
"... That's quite make sense, but... I remember when I came here, some people still using something like this phone, or am I wrong"
"No, some people still use phones like the one you have, but that's only a few, because only a few brands have survived until now and are still producing that type of phone, but phones like that have limited features, so only those who can't afford it will choose to use a phone like that... Look here"
Tina said while showing something on her wrist.
It was a thin, almost transparent red bracelet.
"... What's with that?"
"This is how the 'phone' looks like, right now, this bracelet is not just a bracelet"
"That thing? Really?"
Taufik asked with an expression mixed with shock and confusion.
"... Yes, Here I tell you how to use this thing"
Tina said; she then touched the bracelet with one finger, and then something familiar but still something surprising for Taufik happened.
After Tina pressed the bracelet, a *beep* sound was heard, and then a straight blue light rose from the bracelet, and then the blue light widened to form a rectangular box, similar to a phone screen.
"... See? Isn't it cool?"
Tina asked Taufik with a smile, feeling happy that she could teach her Master something new.
"Yes, but... What the hell?"
"... Let me browse something real quick"
Tina said, then she typed something on the blue screen quickly, then did something like clicking, then pulling her finger up, and then doing a poster with her hand like she was spreading something out.
A new blue screen then appeared in front of Tina, and Tina pulled the new blue screen in front of Taufik. While Taufik could only be silent in awe of what he had just witnessed; it was like something straight out of a Sci-fi movie.
"Master, read this"
Tina said, asking Taufik to read the article displayed on the blue screen.
Choosing to forget about those technologies for now, Taufik looked at the blue screen in front of him.
Taufik's eyes slowly read the contents of the article, and the more he read, the more shocked his expression became. When he had finished reading all the contents of the article, Taufik could only stare silently, as if trying to make sense of what he had just read.
"... What the Hell?... Really... What the Hell is happening to this world now? *Sigh* I don't know anymore"
