Seeing the puzzled look on Soreva's face, Druva immediately began to explain on Soreva's behalf:

"These are the D-panel and tattoo-type D-lens that you were quite interested in earlier. These are the results of Dr. Fica's research."

"I see!"

After realizing this, Soreva's first thought was to build a good relationship with Dr. Fica, so that he could make a small request regarding his tattoos and duel disk.

Soreva's intense gaze immediately fell upon Dr. Fika, making Dr. Fika feel somewhat uncomfortable.

"What kind of look is that?"

"Dr. Fika! Is it true that after the modification, I can conjure up D-panels on my hands out of thin air like Drew just did, and grow tattoos on my face that can replace D-glasses!?"

Although Dr. Fica was initially uncomfortable with Soreva's enthusiasm, he quickly grew to enjoy Soreva's adoring gaze and proudly declared:

"Such a small matter is no problem at all! I've even recently developed a technique that allows me to disguise myself during duels! It's just a pity that this technique is still in the experimental stage, and..."

As he spoke, Dr. Fika glanced at Drew and Ghosh, adding with obvious displeasure,

"Some people are too timid; they don't even dare to try."

Dr. Fika's reprimand, which was practically a direct naming of Fika, caused both Drew and Ghosh's faces to darken instantly.

Our timidity is your fault!

In short, when Dr. Fika was modifying Ghosh and Druva, he did not separate the two and moved on to modifying the next person after modifying one. As a result, the two saw the horrific state of the other's modification and developed psychological trauma.

So now, upon hearing Dr. Fika say that this is still an experimental technique, neither of them dares to be Dr. Fika's guinea pigs anymore.

After all, it's just a dress-up function, so there's no need for it.

Upon hearing that Dr. Fica had even researched costume-changing technology, Soreva immediately asked excitedly:

"Have they really developed a disguise technology?! If so, does that mean we can wear any kind of clothes?"

Dr. Fika wiped the sweat from his brow and said somewhat sheepishly:

"Um... this technology is not very mature yet. According to my design, I can only change into a set of clothes that have been prepared in advance."

There's only one set...

This stark contrast brought Soreva, who had just been caught up in a frenzy, back to his senses. Even with just one outfit to change into, he could still accomplish a great deal.

Thinking this, Soreva immediately nodded, intending to confirm with Dr. Fica one last time:

"Does this costume have to be a specific style, or can any design be used?"

Such an inquiry was tantamount to questioning Dr. Fika's technology, which Dr. Fika could not tolerate. He immediately patted his chest and assured him:

"No matter what style of clothing it is, as long as you agree to participate in my makeover, I can make it happen for you!"

"real!?"

Overjoyed at the answer, Soreva immediately pulled a card from the D-Panel he still carried and showed it to Dr. Fica.

"Give me a set like this!"

"Hmph! A piece of cake!"

........................

Outside Dr. Fica's lab, Ghosh and Druva began talking about Soreva, who had already been brought into the lab. Soreva's identification documents at Heart Garden were now complete and ready for them to hand over.

"Hey, tell me, what's wrong with that guy? Doesn't he have any sense of caution at all? How could he agree to Dr. Fica's modifications so easily?"

Who knows?

Faced with Gorsh's question, Druwa instinctively responded, then, recalling his recent duel with Soreva, he stroked his chin and began to speculate.

"I think he probably agreed because he thought it would look cool to conjure up a pair of glasses and even a set of clothes like that."

"No way, just for such a childish reason?"

But just as Ghosh was questioning this, the lights at the entrance of Dr. Fika's laboratory suddenly dimmed, and the laboratory door slowly opened.

Immediately afterwards, the two saw a masked man wearing full silver-white armor, with thick black thorns growing on his back, slowly walk out of the laboratory.

Soon, the mysterious man turned around as if he had noticed the two of them, and gave them a thumbs up:

"How about it? Don't I look incredibly cool in this outfit?!"

That was none other than Soreva's voice.

Chapter 234 Age Fraudster

Soreva's words instantly darkened Ghosh's face. He hadn't expected Druva to be right; Soreva actually thought it looked cool after participating in the modification.

"Okay, I got it. Now change back quickly."

Upon hearing Gorsh's voice, Soreva immediately deactivated his [White Light Layer] transformation and reverted to his original form. At that moment, Gorsh shoved a file folder into his hand.

"Here you go, your identification and everything are here. Now come with me, I'll show you around the Heart Tower and tell you where you can and can't go."

"Yes!"

As for Dr. Fika in the lab, he was so exhausted that he collapsed onto his desk.

"Heh, this guy really knows how to make things difficult, actually thinking of transforming into that kind of armor. But thanks to him for providing so much experimental data, Kaito's [Photon Transformation] should be completed soon."

When Kaito was mentioned, a hint of paternal tenderness initially flashed in Fika's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a darkness spreading from the depths of his eyes.

"By then, Kaito should be able to take on the job of Hunting [No.], right? At that time, he will be able to destroy the Astral Sphere and use the power of the Varia to sustain Kaito's life."

"Don't let me down, Kaito."

........................

"Alright, I've taken you to all the other places. The only place left to go is the top floor, but I suggest you don't go there."

Upon hearing Ghosh's words, Soreva immediately tilted his head curiously and asked, somewhat puzzled:

"Don't go to the rooftop? Why? Is there any danger there?"

"There's no danger, just a little kid. But if you've been there, that brat might bring you trouble."

However, Ghosh's answer did nothing to resolve Soreva's doubts; instead, it made Soreva even more curious about why the child had attracted danger.

Ghosh also saw Soreva's expression, an expression that said he wouldn't give up until he found out the truth, staring intently at him, which made Ghosh feel a little creeped out.

Left with no other option, Ghosh could only explain:

"That kid isn't in good health, and strange things always happen around him. More importantly, he has an older brother who dotes on him to an almost frightening degree."

After explaining the child's situation, Ghosh immediately turned to Soreva and began to lecture him earnestly, completely unaware that the door behind him had been opened.

"So, once you've been to the top floor, and something happens to that kid, his terrifying older brother will come after you."

"Uh... is that scary older brother you mentioned him?"

Following the direction Soreva was pointing, Ghosh realized that Kaito was already standing outside the open door behind him. He quickly lowered his voice and said to Soreva:

"Hey, when did this guy get here? Why didn't you warn me?"

"When... it seems like he was already standing there when you said that the child had a terrifying older brother."

Soreva's words instantly made Ghosh's face turn pale:

Oh no, did he hear everything I said about him? I'm doomed! Is he going to come after me?!

However, Kaito showed no unusual expression and did not respond to Ghosh's words. It was Soleva, standing beside Ghosh, who curiously peeked out and scrutinized Kaito.

"Hmm, he looks a lot like Kaito from the A5 world, only a little shorter. Kaito from the A5 world probably looked like this a few years ago..."

However, Kaito's lack of particular reaction to Ghosh doesn't mean he won't react to Soreva's scrutiny.

With a furrowed brow, Kaito turned to Soleva and began to question him:

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Seeing that Kaito looked like someone not to be trifled with, Ghosh quickly stepped between the two, waving his hands and explaining to Kaito:

"Kaito, don't misunderstand, he's not an enemy. He just gained the approval of Mr. Kokoro and Dr. Fica and joined us as a partner. It's normal that you don't know him."

Upon hearing Gorsh's words, Kaito nodded:

"Understood, I'll remember. But how long are you going to stay here? I'm leaving."

"Okay, we'll move aside right away."

As he spoke, Ghosh pulled Soleva aside to make way for Kaito, and only breathed a slight sigh of relief after watching Kaito leave. But soon, he heard Soleva's teasing voice:

"What, are you afraid of him?"

"Huh!? What did you say? You think I'm afraid of him!?"

After managing to give Soreva a polite reply, Ghosh's momentum suddenly faltered, and he said with a hint of helplessness,

"Okay, to be honest, I am a little scared of him."

"why?"

Faced with Soreva's question, Ghosh pondered for a moment before giving his answer:

"One reason is that he is very strong. Although we are the same age, when I trained with Druwa and him, he was always the strongest of the three of us."

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this answer, Soreva stroked his chin, suddenly realizing a serious question.

"Wait, you're all the same age?! How old are you?"

Although the topic was abruptly changed, Ghosh still answered Soreva's question while stroking his chin:

"Hmm... Drew and I are nineteen years old, and Kaito is about a year younger than us, eighteen, right?"

This unexpected answer caused sweat to pour down Soleva's forehead. In his opinion, apart from Kaito, who looked to be around fourteen or fifteen years old, Drouet and Ghosh were probably approaching thirty.

It turned out that when he asked, he realized that he was actually the oldest among them, even though he had just called the two of them "elder brother" and "elder sister" on the bus.

Ghosh noticed Soreva's unusual behavior and immediately asked:

"What's wrong? You look a little pale."

"No! No problem, there's absolutely no problem!"

After decisively shaking his head, Soreva decided it was best not to bring up his age in front of them and to quickly change the subject.
