[ See, Jumin thought he prepared everything he could with his meager funds and knowledge on living in the real world. But then Setsuna shows up on a motorcycle, and he suddenly realizes the error he's made in renting a horse in advance. ]
[ Being overprepared is sometimes a disadvantage, Jumin. ]
Oh.
[ After Jumin makes a stop beside him, Setsuna raises his arm to offer a share of food and supplies. Apart from his requested portion of meal, there's also first aid considerably added. You never know when those come in handy. ]
[ ... Setsuna is a more valuable companion than he thought. Jumin graciously takes the supplies, first aid included. ]
It's no trouble. I just need to find a way to make the money I lost. [ He's a businessman at his core, he's sure he'll think of something. Speaking of thinking, he's considered many factors before taking this trip. ] Is there a way to contact anyone instantly without the use of Carriers? I left Catherine at Graupera.
[ Considering Heroes are well-paid compared to locals, Setsuna doesn't have to worry about Jumin's colle problem at least. If he works hard, that's more than enough to regain it and earn more. For now, they need to focus on something more important.
Since it's going to take a bit to arrive to Petrosian though, they might as well converse as they travel. ]
Unfortunately, I am not certain. Perhaps there are communication radios existing somewhere, but I have yet to encounter one. The popular means of contact are through traditional mails.
Then there's no point. If Blanc wants to win this war, perhaps they should look into their logistics.
[ In both business and war, communication is key. But Jumin seems to be irritated with something for reasons far beyond Blanc's mere lack of technology. ]
The locals say we are the answer to their prayers. Is this true?
oh god i'm sorry i died, yanachan. going to handwave this to make it easier on you!!
[ Since Setsuna and Celestial Being operate anonymously in his world, stable communication is mandatory and crucial for their operations to flow smoothly. It was something he is very familiar with. Without the convenience of portable communication devices widely across Blanc, it was really hard to set coordinated tasks among Heroes and its locals. They do have Carriers, but only a particular set of individuals have access.
Enprise does have old fashion telephones, but that's about it. The planet as a whole really has outdated technology... They have other means to fulfill their needs, such as mana and magic, but sometimes even those can't match up to modern or futuristic standards. ]
But the quality of life is slowly improving despite the war. We actually did not have vending machines until recently... And the televisions only had news programs and political broadcasts previously. Its availability is more spread across the country now as well, when only limited household had them before.
[ This nerd talk probably continued on as they made their way to Petrosian... And once there, Setsuna makes sure to properly escort Jumin throughout the investigations. Neither of them gave up until they found at least one more hint. ]

My apologies. I should have told you.
