Chapter 384
When I thought about it, Azerna was a world missing so many things because it didn’t have electricity.
If you asked where the history of broadcasting began, the answers would vary depending on the person, but most would probably think of "radio."
Once radio waves could be transmitted and received, people could listen to others speaking in real time, play music, read stories, host talk shows, or even perform dramas made only with voices.
But in Azerna, that "radio" had never been invented.
Sure, considering radio technology was perfected in the early 20th century, it wasn’t impossible that something like it might eventually exist even in a world running on steam engines. Even if electricity were never discovered, there was already magic, and even magic-based communication existed. If they applied that magic creatively, they might eventually manage something similar.
But that was just a possibility. In any case, in Azerna, news was still delivered by writing. Meaning the modern concept of "broadcasting" wasn't even close to existing there.
"So, it's like being a circus clown?"
"......"
Well, I guess.
It wasn’t wrong exactly.
More like a performer than a clown... but still, calling modern streamers "clowns" felt kind of outdated.
Then again, Charlotte was outdated by modern standards. Even if she was a teenager by Azerna’s timeline, from a 21st-century perspective, she was basically from over a hundred years ago.
