"What is this thing?!"
Pyon's gaze focused on the object Luke had taken out, looking at it a few extra times.
The thing Luke said would be useful to her was actually just this…
"Isn't this just a dirty-looking little block?!!"
In Pyon's previously suspicious eyes, which also carried a bit of expectation, an expression of speechlessness and dislike gradually surfaced.
No matter how she looked at it, she truly couldn't see what was special about this block.
How could it possibly help her with ancient texts, interpretation, or languages?
Just as she was wondering if Luke had taken out something impressive-looking but useless, and was about to continue objecting…
"This thing is called the Translation Gummy."
Luke's leisurely explanation sounded: "After eating it, you can speak any kind of language."
Invention: Translation Gummy
Origin: Doraemon World — Future Tech Company
Function: Also known as the Translation Tool or Translation Gummy, this tool is a konjac-like food. After eating it, one can translate modern earth languages, ancient languages, and alien languages, and can decipher written text.
For robots, placing it on the head is sufficient.
That's right, this is the Translation Gummy, a tool with extremely high appearance frequency in Doraemon, and ranked 7th in popularity.
Its shape is like konjac, and after eating it, foreign languages sound like one's own native language, and what one says will also be converted into the listener's language.
In addition, it not only allows the user to understand speech but also to decipher literature.
It can translate modern languages on earth, as well as languages from past eras.
It can even translate the languages of extraterrestrials and interpret machine voice signals.
For robots unable to ingest food, simply placing it on their heads is enough for it to work.
Moreover, after eating it, one can also converse with animals.
Of course, the translation is not entirely without limits.
In the movie, Nobita's Great Adventure into the Underworld, when Miyako, who had turned into a cat and could not speak human language, ate the Translation Gummy, although she was able to converse with Doraemon and the others, she still could not decipher the underworld chronicles.
And it is also uncertain whether a single Translation Gummy can decipher only one language or whether it has a time limit.
After all, Doraemon tends to eat a piece every time he encounters someone he cannot communicate with.
But for a linguist whose work depends on translation, such a tool is absolutely crucial.
"Does this thing really have the effects you claim?!!"
Hearing this, Pyon's eyes lit up, yet she couldn't avoid feeling suspicious.
After all, the functions Luke mentioned were so perfectly suited to her profession and job that the convenience it offered even made Pyon feel…
With something like this Translation Gummy, translators, linguists, paleographers, and similar professions almost lose their meaning; this single item is enough to replace them.
Fortunately, when Pyon heard about the side effects and limitations of the Translation Gummy, she let out a breath of relief.
"I knew it. How could there possibly be a miraculous invention in this world that has no limitations or price?"
Pyon muttered quietly to herself, as though comforting her sense of purpose and hard work from not being completely replaced.
Upon hearing her comment, Ging Freecss glanced up at her.
No limitations or price?
He thought of the Restoring Beam Luke had given him earlier.
That thing seemed to have no particular limitations or price at all.
Just shining a light could easily repair damage.
Of course, it had one small problem: If you shine it too long, after restoring something to its original state, it might regress further back into its earliest form.
But as long as you watch the time, that's enough.
As you can see, inventions differ from one another.
Or rather… Luke certainly has inventions with even fewer limitations and greater effects.
It just depends on the situation and which invention he chooses to bring out.
"Who would've thought that such a tiny thing could do this..."
Pyon spoke as though doubting it, yet her little hand secretly reached toward the Translation Gummy.
Then she saw Luke pick up the Translation Gummy and dangling it in midair.
Luke gave her a half-smiling look that said, don't try to snatch it.
Pyon: "..."
"Ahem."
Thick-skinned, she coughed lightly: "Since Mr. Luke is so supportive of our profession and the work of translating ancient texts and ancient languages..."
After finishing her cough, she very solemnly declared: "Then I cannot disappoint Mr. Luke's goodwill."
After she finished speaking, she paused, and then the Translation Gummy was tossed toward her.
"I agree!!"
Pyon blurted out those two words with joy on her face.
She happily caught the Translation Gummy and hid it away immediately.
Then she turned back around with a businesslike, serious expression for everyone to see.
The other zodiac members: "..."
If you want to put on an act, can you at least try to conceal it a little?
For this scene to play out right in front of their eyes, was this really okay?!!
The other Zodiac members were speechless.
On the contrary, Chairman Netero let out a cheerful laugh.
As expected, once Luke gets involved, things become entertaining.
At the very least, the many strange reactions from the people present were quite amusing to him.
"Let's get back to business."
Seeing Pyon looking serious on the surface while secretly cherishing the Translation Gummy, Cheadle finally couldn't stand it anymore.
This Triple-Star Disease Hunter, also a Doctor and Lawyer, looked toward Luke.
She pushed up her glasses and asked seriously: "What I want to know is..."
Cheadle spoke softly: "If you become Vice-Chairman, what do you intend to do?"
"What kind of changes will you bring to the Hunter Association as it is now?"
As the brain of the Zodiac, she has always been committed to uncovering and eliminating accumulated problems.
Now, facing Luke, she raised the question of the Hunter Association's future development.
"After taking office..."
Luke thought for a moment. "Find the accumulated problems and eliminate them."
The same thinking as hers?
Hearing this unexpectedly aligned idea, a flicker of light passed through Cheadle's eyes.
Although it was also possible Luke had learned about her beforehand and said this deliberately for her ears.
Thus, Cheadle did not stop there and instead asked further: "Are there any specific measures?"
She displayed a posture of sincerely seeking advice and genuinely wanted to hear Luke's thoughts.
