Yea! Finally caught back up! (Life got in the way) The lack of updates has me a bit worried. You ok author-san?

They have no clue how many "other" experts are there and what the mechs look like. Plan is basically "we plan to fight whoever shows up". And using some of the elite mech squads to throw numbers at them.

Which is why the troops sorty from waayyy back.

His knowledge that the dragon was coming is gonna be clutch!

Rean could probably just sit down and write "see previous tests" and... still pass.

That is probably a great idea and only ONE of the tricks he'll need to rank first in the school.

Ok - you've probably already written AND uploaded the chapter where they spend their wish, and the coin from the game, on something appropriately selfish and luxiourous. I mean... a high-tech surveillance system? Really? And what exactly are they gonna do once they actually spot the criminals. They'll need to spend ANOTHER wish just to get weapons that actually have a chance to damage them. But... I have an idea for a wish that will solve more than one problem at once! The government should vote to buy as MANY of the cheapest UVR bracelets as they can. Bulk discount even. Then distribute them as evenly over the planet as possible. Everyone who gets a bracelet must sign a contract reporting back to the government the instant Queen spots an invader. After all, those bracelets have a much higher scanning range than the best survalence system they could purchase with the same wish! Allocating the bracelets by square mileage also means poor countries and rural areas get a FAR higher percentage of "the wish" than any other distribution method. Every boat captain, island, and oil rig would get one too! Cities might feel left out until they realize the "invite 10 friends" function means they have a high chance of getting a UVR class. Also... small, densely populated countries should be allocating their streaming revenue to purchase bracelets. That "starting loan" alone can do a lot of good. Mind you - they will STILL need a 2nd wish to actually do anything once they spot the bad guys. But the bracelet trick will buy a lot of goodwill until the 2nd game. Especially with so many going to the poorest and most undeveloped areas of the planet. And... to the people who own large plots of land. :P (We know Felix has already spent a wish to kill the bad guys - they don't)

Offering the option to see her family again might be pointless if they are ALSO slaves.

You mean... the VR store stocked with information from Queen? Information that includes a bunch of recent Earth stuff? And that VR store that gave him a selection of items to choose from based on his search terms? Search terms that the story gave NO indication Felix was using the Galactic Common language instead of casually using his native tongue for a quick and lazy shop. I fully expected the "formal clothes" Felix picked out to be more in line with VR fashion trends. (Even if the colors/patterns are probably far closer to Earth trends then he might be comfortable with if he knew more about fashion) It's not any of his clothing choices individually that were a mistake. It's the consistent set of Earth patterns plus the VERY distinct Earth art. (The smiley emoji and wolf mask) Remember, you now have lots and lots of very smart and very rich people looking intently at ANY clue he leaves behind. Pretty sure Felix managed to separate Landlord from himself very thoroughly. But he left a breadcrumb trail to Earth - and he showed off something that could be a "Mythical bloodline" in his real body.

A "hoodie" is a specific cut and weight of fabric. It is quite distinct to this time period. (Especially when color and patterns are taken into account) "Nike style sneakers" are also a distinct fashion item. And the "yellow smiley emoji" is a HIGHLY identifiable art object! Ditto the "wolf mask" which references an animal native to Earth. While he might have gotten away with just one of the first two distinctly "Earth" items... both plus the emoji and the wolf mask are a LOT of clues. Especially when all that information absolutely had to be in the data sold by Earth. The Landlord persona is simply not as anonymous as he thinks. Especially by very smart people combing over details with high-powered computers. Remember - they don't have to connect Landlord to Felix. They simply have to connect Landlord to EARTH. And once they do that... Felix might pop up on their radar. (They are looking for the "background" behind Landlord/Felix anyway)
