Look, I’m fine with paying for a cell phone, but why do they have to cost upwards of a thousand dollars for a good one? o_o XD
Well- Yuki’s is free, and ya know it’s a FTRobotics Phone. Because everything they use is made by that company o_o – even the people!
“even the people”
But the kitsune are home grown!
wait isn’t the other one a robot made from the dead sister of a what was it a magi of fire candidate?
Its a little more complicated
That was simple!?
Rieko isn’t a kitsune—she’s a fox.
Kitsune means both regular fox and yokai fox.
Huh. I always took it to mean specifically the Japanese folklore supernatural foxes.
So is there a term to specifically reference yokai foxes? Like, nogitsune is used to refer to a specifically hostile or young yokai fox, but what is used for all of them?

tracfone is still around?
“Why do they have to cost upwards of a thousand dollars for a good one?”
They don’t, it costs that much for the newest model, but the older ones are still good and more than most people actually need
Hell, I still have an iPhone 8 and never use half the features
*Yuki phone home*
“[W]hy do they have to cost upwards of a thousand dollars for a good one?”
Because they develop new technology to impress customers (phone side) and to increase functionality (service provider side – the terminal the needs improved transceiver modules). The market will calm down eventually, but as for now we are still on the exponential growth track.
*then* needs…
Don’t forget the more computer improvements to run games that polish up to needing more room and better GPUs.
Good point, the generalisation of the terminal is a new part of the “impress customers” side.
On the other hand applications of GPUs such as cloud computers crunching big data rides on what phone customers pay. There have always been side benefits from new technology (and many big data uses benefits all) but here many small customers provide for a few large customers. #life-is-not-fair
wait til she discovers gacha games
Didn’t she already get a phone from Naoko? Or was that strictly to access the library?
That was specifically a tablet that has access to the library. The library that she manages contains ancient texts and things that are actually dangerous for people to read that lack the understanding (For example- the kids that summoned a demon-) So they have specific tablet devices that connect to it and can provide proper tracking of the device and they don’t function outside of authorized areas. But making a whole comic page to discuss stuff like that is more filler than me going over silly stuff with Yuki to push the wedding back because I don’t feel my script is perfect yet O_O XD (This last line has a hint of truth to it but is mostly a joke)
“I possess a device, in my pocket, that is capable of accessing the entirety of information known to man. I use it to look at pictures of cats and get into arguments with strangers.”
