Reborn as an Evolving Space Monster: Harem Of Otherworldly Beauties-Chapter 299: Earth Where?
"I'm the only one who knows, aren't I?"
"You are."
"Yey." Raya celebrated. "I feel so special."
"Well, you are."
"I know, I know. Is this weird for you? Talking about where you're from? Like really from?"
"Yes."
"Do you want to go back?"
"Fuck no." Cero chuckled at the ridiculousness of such a question. "There's nothing for me there. And showing up the way I look now… Hell no."
"So even if there was a way to go back to where you're from, you're telling me you wouldn't?" Raya walked closer, staring with suspicious eyes.
"Yes."
"Why not?" Raya asked, standing inches away from him.
Cero remained silent for a moment.
His right hand caressed Raya's cheek.
"Because my life is here. There's nothing for me there. And even if there was, I prefer what I have here."
"Hm." Raya leaned into his touch. "Always saying the right things."
"It's the truth."
"And I'm happy to hear it." Raya said with a serene smile. "Dramatic turn, there's nothing about Earth."
"Yeah?"
"Yep." Raya turned around and walked towards the closet she had opened. "No mention of it anywhere. For all intents and purposes, it doesn't exist." She explained, pulling out stacks and stacks of papers, under which was revealed,
"A computer?"
"Yep, the portable kind." Raya blew on its surface, causing particles of dust to fly off. "That's not dust, by the way. I put over it some talcum powder."
"For dramatic purposes?"
"Exactly." Raya nodded. "It's a super old model."
"I can tell. Looks like something you would find on Earth, which makes it super old by Wor standards."
"Right…" Raya muttered before staying silent for a bit. "I'm getting kind of mind-blown here."
"Why do you say that?"
"Well, either we've discovered the existence of a new planet and civilization, and in all likelihood the existence of a new solar system and of a new galaxy, or…"
"Or? And why do you say new like that?"
"Cause it's not really new or a discovery. Well, to us it is. To you, not really. I sort of feel like a colonizer talking about it being new when it isn't."
"I get what you mean. You don't have to worry about that. It would be new, I get it."
"So as I said, either it's a galaxy that hasn't been discovered yet somehow or…"
"Or… We're in one universe, and Earth is in another?"
"Well, I mean… There are theories about there being more than one universe, but it is an iffy subject. Do you have any relevant information? Relevant to this subject, I mean."
"Hm." Cero thought silently for a moment. "Nope, I don't have-" His eyes suddenly widened.
"You got it?" Raya asked with an excited tone, having noticed his physical reaction.
"Yeah." He slowly nodded. "The planet you landed on and where I woke up… Miro, I think it was called."
"What about it?"
"I think it was… 580 billion light-years away from Earth."
"Huh. Interesting. The observable universe is about 300 billion light years in diameter."
"I believe it was around 90 billion light-years on Earth, something like that."
"Hm…"
"If we ignore smaller distances, say that Earth isn't part of our observable universe and that we're not part of Earth's observable universe, then that means we would need to cross the 150 billion light year radius, the 45 or so billion light years of radius, and the additional distance we're missing…"

"That's not really how it works. In fact, no one knows how it works." Raya sighed. "Universe-related questions can only generate theories, and I hate those kinds of questions. I deal with real things, practical things. Rina might be able to help more when it comes to these things."
"So… End of the road?"
"Kind of." Raya opened up the pc and turned it on. "You can make the argument that there are two universes and… Does the universe around Earth expand?"
"Yeah."
"Two universes expanding like bubbles with some kind of space between them that they're trying to fill by expanding? I'm just spouting nonsense now. We would have to look for someone more knowledgeable than me."
"Does such a person even exist?" Cero asked with an innocent tone.
"Well, it'll be tough to find them but, you know… Seriously though, it'll be pretty easy to find someone like that. I've never been interested in questions regarding the universe until now."
"I see."
Cero took a seat, and Raya sat in his lap, laptop on her thighs.
"I assume it can't be tracked."
"Nope. Apparently, it's impossible to track it. My online activity can't be tracked either."
"Apparently?"
"Yeah, I have a gal."
"A computer gal?"
"Yeah." Raya chuckled. "Alright, let me make a note about this, Miro… 580… Done!"
"Alright!"
"So!" She laughed. "There's no information about Earth anywhere. Not in maps, not in journals, not in studies, observation reports, anywhere."
"Great. I'm glad you brought the laptop for that."
"Give me a second!" Raya tapped his thigh. "As I was saying, I couldn't find anything anywhere, until I got the idea to do a total and complete search. That means screw scientific papers and actual um… Important mediums, you know?"
"Yeah?"
"I widened the search to include every website, every post, every comment, every page, everything that has ever been put online."
"Holy fuck, you can do that?"
"Yeah, I have a gal."
"An internet hacker spy gal?"
"Yep." Raya shrugged. "It's no big deal. Anyways-"
"Look at you, trying to be nonchalant about it. Alright queen, tell me."
"Well, out of eeeeverything… I've one hundred thousand results."
"Seriously?" Noticing Raya's smirk, Cero's eyes narrowed. "Gibberish and typos, huh?"
"Yep. All of them were either gibberish, random letter types, or typos… Except for one post."
"Really?"
"Really."
"You're not fucking me?"
"I am not."
"Well, go on. Show me!"
"Aren't you going to praise me first? Tell me that I did a great job? We've been back for 24 hours and I've already had to use a bunch of my gals to-"
"Yeah, yeah. Just show me the post already."
"Tsk. Fiiiine." Raya looked away, pouting. A devilish smile quickly reappeared on her face, though. "Good luck reading it without my help."
