214 – What is he?
“He looks quite similar to Ed.”
Eve’s Laboratory.
Enya smiled and looked around at her own outfit.
Various LEDs, latex fibers, and metal-based metals were sparkling.
She is wearing an ‘Enya Cruel-specific suit’ that will enhance her strength.
Eve said, nodding her head.
“Not only will it look good, but it will be just as functional as her brother’s suit. “It’s a suit that my brother made ‘himself.'”
A suit that Ed made for himself.
Enya’s cheeks turned red.
In this world, equipment created solely by Ed’s hands is extremely rare, so this suit had great value just because Ed made it himself.
What’s more, isn’t this ‘exclusive suit’ a self-made suit made just for you?
When I thought of Ed, who had worked hard to make this suit for me, I couldn’t help but smile with joy.
“Well, I helped with more than 60%.”
In the meantime, Eve broke the mood.
She claims that she made more than half of the suit herself.
Enya said to her, pouting her lips.
“You don’t have to say that.”
“I wonder if you might be curious.”
“I’m not curious at all.”
Tingling.
Sparks flew between the two.
Enya glared at Eve with suspicion in her eyes.
Is she really Ed’s younger cousin?
She is not just a relative of Ed, but the relationship between the two seems to be filled with feelings of love, especially in Eve’s eyes and attitude.
You can’t argue with logic, but ‘a woman’s intuition’ warns that this is the case.
“hehehehe, are you fighting?”
In the meantime, Isabella intervened between the two.
She was also wearing a self-made suit made by Ed.
Enya said, shrugging her shoulders.
“What is fighting? What about your suit? Well… I guess yours also had a lot of Eve’s touch?”
“···hehehe. Eve’s touch? Well. Rather, you could feel Ed’s consideration everywhere in the suit.”
······?
Ed’s consideration?
Enya and Eve narrowed their eyes.
Isabella smiled her naughty smile and groped her own body.
“As you know, I am still affected by negativity, right? Because of this, there are some limitations in using ice-based techniques. Maybe that’s why the suit Ed made complements it well. “When I wear this suit, I feel like Ed is comforting me.”
Isabella smiles victoriously with a face full of blush.
The corners of Enya’s mouth trembled in convulsions.
She forced a smile and tapped Eve’s side.
“hahahaha…! Yeah, but that…! Eve, wasn’t it your idea? What kind of negativity purifier was that? “You suggested it to Ed, and it went through your hands from start to finish.”
“······Right? “That suit can be considered my work.”
After hearing Eve’s answer, Enya smiled and looked at Isabella as if asking what she thought.
However, Isabella was smiling mockingly as if she thought Enya was ridiculous.
She said, twisting the corner of her mouth.
“···Well? That couldn’t be possible. Because the ‘negativity purification device’ you mentioned is a device that operates through the ‘memories’ that Ed and I shared. “It is impossible for a third party to intervene in the first place.”
“······!”
Enya looks at Isabella with a puzzled expression, as if she didn’t notice.
She immediately looked at Eve next to her.
Because the only person who can accept Isabella is her.
“······.”
However, even Eve, who always gave the correct answer, was unable to fight back easily, like a program with a bug.
In the meantime, Isabella said with a grin on her face.
“Puhahahaha. Good fishing. “Actually, it’s a lie.”
“”······?””
“It works through memory. It’s a lie. But Eve, seeing as you can’t refute it, it seems like this suit definitely went through Ed’s hands. “Thank you for letting me know.”
“······.”
Even though she is a high-performance AI android robot, Eve is still weak when it comes to psychological warfare against women.
From noble mtl dot com
She clenched her fists in exasperation.
As my abilities were focused only on ‘computation’ to assist Ed with his work, I was bound to be vulnerable to such flattery.
“hahahahaha! Are you sure you like this suit? “It’s nice to feel Ed’s consideration so well!”
At that time, Lucas appeared with a cheerful voice.
He began showing off his suit in a satisfied voice.
“There are more than one or two functions that assist or enhance my abilities. I wonder if there is a suit that fits my body so well and understands me so well. “Do you see this?”
Lucas said that and began to show how outstanding his suit was.
In fact, his suit seemed to have been optimized for design considering both his habits and combat patterns.
The more he showed off his suit, the more Isabella and Enya could not help but feel that their suit was a little inferior to him.
“hahahahaha! Ed gave me a great gift! Just by equipping this, your combat power will increase significantly!”
Lucas shows off his suit with an innocent expression, like a 7-year-old child showing off a dinosaur robot.
However, Isabella and Enya’s expressions were becoming increasingly hard.
Does this make any sense that they are being pushed around by someone like Lucas?
“It’s noisy, Lucas.”
“····? Uh?”
“Pay attention. “I don’t want to hear it.”
“···Huh? “What am I…?”
Lucas looks at the two friends alternately with a puzzled face at his sudden cold reaction.
Meanwhile, Eve raised the corner of her mouth and spoke to Lucas.
“It’s definitely the suit that my brother paid the most attention to.”
Then, with a naughty smile on his face, he walked up to Lucas, placed his hand on his suit, and said.
“Function built into this suit. All directly from my brother. It was manufactured. It’s probably the one that took the most effort out of all the suits we made in-house. “This isn’t a lie~?”
Eve said that and launched a hologram.
It was a video of Ed making a suit in a state of extreme concentration.
Shadows fell on Enya and Isabella’s faces.
Ed’s expression of being so absorbed in something was a very rare expression.
“hahahahaha! I never thought Ed would think of me this much! “I must say thank you!”
However, Lucas, who had no clue, showed off his suit with a cheerful smile.
While Isabella and Enya’s eyebrows were tensed, the princess, who was watching the situation from afar, chewed her snack and muttered.
“Lucas, cronyism wins.”
***
Invasion of a large demonic force.
The beginning took place in the Kingdom of Sardinia.
In the Kingdom of Sardinia, where demon cults were relatively active, the ‘Demon Gate’, through which demons could enter and exit, was opened.
For this reason, I stood in front of the portal to save the kingdom at the request of the King of Sardinia.
In addition, to fill the limit of 600 people who can move through the portal, the ‘Night Crow’ unit, an elite unit among mechanized units, was summoned.
Armed with ‘semi-devil suits’, they will effectively eliminate the hordes of demons who are causing destruction and massacre throughout the kingdom.
“···Guys.”
And then I looked back at another core force organized in my unit and opened my mouth.
Sciences of the 4th Duke family.
Seeing that they will grow into the core force of the empire in the future, he gave his words of advice.
“···As I said before, safety is the top priority. There will be thousands more opportunities to fight in the future, so make safety your top priority. Understand?”
“···Yes.”
“···I’ll keep that in mind.”
“···Well, if that’s the case.”
“hahahahaha! “If it’s what you say, I have to follow it unconditionally!”
However, Enya and Isabella’s reaction was not what they usually see.
As expected, I thought he would nod somewhat shyly, but he nodded with a stiff face.
Claire seemed to answer with a calm expression, as usual.
For some reason, Lucas’s tension was a little higher.
“···Anyway, I believe everyone will do well. “Then let’s go.”
However, the priority is to save the kingdom of Sardinia, which is in crisis.
I shook off my thoughts and threw myself at the gate.
When I arrived at the scene, I was briefed on the situation by the Supreme Commander of the Kingdom of Sardinia.
It was reported that the castle gate was about to fall, and that demon cultists were waging guerrilla warfare throughout the city.
An order was given to the Night Crow unit.
“Shooting the gate is the top priority. Everyone moves to the castle gate to assist Mercury, and if possible, switch to construction robot mode to repair the collapsed castle walls and gates. “I will eliminate the academy’s elite cadets and the demon cultists rampaging throughout the city.”
“”I will follow your orders!””
After answering in a loud voice, the Raven troops sortie towards the castle gate.
As these are elite members who have been carefully selected through various tests and verifications, they will definitely block the castle gate.
What remains is to minimize damage by suppressing the devil cultists rampaging throughout the city.
“Then shall we leave too? Eve will scan the kingdom with her scout drone and reveal the location of the demon cultists. “All we have to do is take them out.”
I said that and turned on the hologram device.
The location of the demonic cultists began to appear as red dots on the translucent mini-map emitted from the holographic device.
“Then let’s start from here.”
So I took the kids and moved to the eastern part of the kingdom.
There, hundreds of demon cultists were holding a group ritual and summoning high-ranking demons.
“Take care of them!”
And I gave orders to the duchess to deal with them.
Of course, if I step forward, I can overpower them in an instant, but in order to give the kids experience, I have to stay out as much as possible.
“···Yes.”
“As instructed~”
“hahahaha! “Shall we compete to see who is stronger?”
That’s how our kids jumped into the middle of the devil cult.
However, contrary to my words to put safety first, these kids were frantically slaughtering their enemies as if it were a competition.
‘····Isn’t it?’
No, it only seemed like Enya and Isabella.
It looks like he is trying hard to show off his power, as if he is trying to prove that he is stronger.
“hahahahaha! Ed! “The suit you made is really the best!”
However, Lucas was showing off his strength in a slightly different sense.
It seems as if he is intoxicated with his own strength.
“Then I have to repay your sincerity!”
However, even though Lucas was intoxicated with his own power, he did not rush in recklessly.
Even though they are intoxicated with new power, it is clearly visible that they are attacking under the strict control of reason.
‘He’s definitely a talented guy. I have an innate fighting sense and a way to use techniques. You quickly adapted to how to use the suit.’
Lucas was so talented that he caused minor damage to my suit during his humble days.
I began to dream of the possibility of ‘awakening’ as I watched this guy who I had never paid attention to in all the previous episodes.
So, just as Enya was awakened into a ‘Grand Sword Master,’ I began to harbor hope that there might be a possibility of awakening him into an archmage.
‘I’m quite looking forward to it.’
When I imagined that future, a smile naturally spread across my face.
***
“······?”
Isabella and Enya’s expressions as they were clearing out the demon cultists were filled with puzzlement.
I wanted to show Ed wearing the suit he made and showing him repaying the new power he gave him, but Ed’s eyes are fixed on other people.
‘······Why him?’
What kind of expression is that?
The facial expression Ed was currently making was of a new kind that I had never seen before.
If I had to compare it, it was a smile like a ‘father’s smile’ that you make while watching your child play a joke.
What on earth do you like about him that makes him smile with such satisfaction?
‘···What is it???’
Isabella and Enya had no way of knowing the psychological basis.
