"Fake gold, huh? Well...I suppose that makes sense. If you could simply bring actual gold or other valuables from the Metaverse to the real world, no doubt unscrupulous people with access to the Metaverse would have already done it, and the economy would crash. Incidentally, can you bring out things from the Metaverse? It seems like an easy way to commit fraud and forgery for untrustworthy individuals," Hikari said, observing one of the jewellery pieces from the crate as they worked to make room for the team.

Even if it was a fabrication, it was not as if the average person would be able to tell fake jewellery from real one. IF they could bring out things from the Metaverse, then people with Metaverse would have a way to produce cheap imitations with 0 production cost.

Hikari continued moving the crates, finally letting out a sigh of relief as they finished, looking a bit winded as she sat on one of the crates they had set aside, listening to Seiji, or rather, Noblesse. 

Physical activity was never her forte, but at least in the Metaverse, it was doable. In the real world, her arms would probably have given out by now.

"Freedom to do as I like...? That...could potentially be a very troublesome manifestation of the app's power, right? Considering—"

Hikari stopped for a brief second, as she hesitated telling them what she had inadvertently done to her friend with the app, especially after knowing some of them went to the same school. No doubt, they had heard about how she allegedly 'stole' her friend's crush, and perhaps had their perception of her coloured by the rumours.

"...Considering what seemed to be the scope of the app's power, a wish such as 'Freedom to do as I like' could have horrifying ramifications for people the user used it on, maybe even stripping their free will," she finished with a small frown, deciding not to use the anecdote of her own experience with the app, giving in to her fear of being judged.
