Dicuo, the mechanic from heaven

"Over there, in Area C16, there's a cave that's off the guild's regular route..."

Follow the guidance.

And the strong stench in the air.

Ais and Tiona finally caught up with the group of monsters. However, what appeared before the two girls was not the scene of the adventurers being slaughtered by monsters as they were worried about.

But...

A sea of ​​corpses and blood.

And the young man, covered in blood, was standing in this horrible place.

"Ah, what a coincidence."

El looked at the two girls who came over and greeted them with a smile.

"I'm planning to take a break. How about coming over and sitting with me?"

Chapter 34: Aisi: Onegai! Please train with me!

That's a lot of money, is that too much?!

At dusk.

El, who has returned to Orario, handed over half of today's income to a beautiful girl god.

We agreed to split it 50-50, so it’s 50-50.

Besides, Artemis had been collecting magic stones for a whole day, which was indeed quite tiring.

Well!

The young goddess was now pounding her lower back, feeling like she was about to be unable to stand up! !

it hurts!

But looking at the heavy bag of money in his hand, which was worth nearly 50,000 faris, his eyes were still filled with the light of "hope".

I really made a lot of money today!!

That large wave of monsters also dropped a lot of materials, bringing Al's total income today to nearly 100,000.

However, this money is still a drop in the bucket compared to Artemis' debt.

But it’s still better than selling fried potato balls!

Furthermore, the young goddess could see that this guy, El, was definitely not an “ordinary person”!!

Even though he is still in the upper level of the maze today, maybe it won’t be long before he can move to the middle level or even the lower level. Then he will earn more money!

As a supporter, my future is limitless! !

He happily began to count the coins in his hand.

El ignored Artemis who was already obsessed with money.

He just continued chatting with the Loki family members in the square outside the guild.

After meeting Diona and Ais in the dungeon.

The two girls did not go back to reunite with their clan members, but instead walked around the 8th floor again to make sure that there were no remaining monsters that had run up from the middle floor.

Then wait until the cleanup was completed.

Grace and the others went up from the 18th floor and prepared to return to the ground.

El was also on the way at that time and returned to the surface with them - except for Liu. The elf girl went to Rivera on the 18th floor for something, and after confirming that she had left the dungeon, she turned around and walked away alone.

Came back at the same time.

There was also the Dwarf supporter who was chased by the "Monster Gift" and eventually fell and was injured.

His injuries were healed by Liu's magic and are now fine.

After returning to the ground, he thanked me and left.

That’s all for today’s adventure.

Under the orange sunset.

Al looked at the "weapon test" report handed over by Grace very seriously, thinking that it was consistent with his previous guess.

Air combat machinery is a consumable war machinery that can effectively cause damage to deep monsters after the 37th floor.

This was beyond Al's expectations.

Moreover, it does not have any offensive capabilities, so it is naturally difficult to cause damage to the [High Durability] Labyrinth King.

Moreover, there is indeed no need for underwater combat in the war in heaven.

as well as……

Lack of means to deal with high-speed targets.

This is the limitation of "function". After all, if you want to improve performance in this area, you can only equip it with more powerful chips, or even intelligent AI, etc.

Otherwise, you can't even select the object and capture its image, so how can you lock on and fight with it?

But here’s the problem.

There is no need for air combat machinery to undergo similar upgrades, or in other words - if it is upgraded again, it will no longer be an air combat machinery.

"Mechanical products" always mean you get what you pay for.

The current "Storm" and "Storm" are the final products that have been iterated after comprehensive research and trade-offs.

But no matter what.

Grace was quite satisfied with the weapons he provided.

"El, with your help, the clan's expedition could be advanced by at least half a year... No, maybe even a year!!"

As long as the air combat machinery provided by the boy is in place.

Even this month, you can start the expedition directly!

This was totally unimaginable before!!

In this regard.

Al's answer was still yes.

"No problem. Just let me know how much you want and when you want it."

It seems like he is talking about a trivial matter.

Evening is coming.

Grace and the others had to go back to the Dusk Pavilion immediately to report the situation to the rest of the clan.

As for the subsequent cooperation and a more detailed contract, we will have to wait two days until they make a decision - after confirming the specific number of air combat machines and Viper cannons they need, we can discuss it.

So he made an appointment to visit their clan’s residence in the evening of the day after tomorrow.

Then we said goodbye.

But just when Al was about to call Artemis home.

The blonde girl who had been standing next to him, with no sense of presence from beginning to end and as transparent as air, suddenly called out to him.

"Hello, um..."

Ai Si looked normal, but her hands intertwined in front of her body and her slender lips slightly pursed showed that she was not at peace at the moment.

"Okay, can you please go over there and talk for a while?"

The girl spoke vaguely, her voice almost inaudible.

But because no one was talking around, the tiny voice became extremely clear.

"Wow! Ais went straight for it!! This is a straight shot, a straight shot!!"

Tiona was the first to make a scene.

Then came the sounds of disbelief and confusion among the people in Loki's family.

"impossible?!"

"The rumors are true! Is Ais-chan in love? But isn't that a bit too direct?!"

"What? When did this happen? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"This matter is already in the past. Now it is..."

What the hell?

Al was also confused about this.

He did have some impression of the girl before him. He remembered seeing her a few times—in the Hephaestus Familia's weapons shop, before the Loki Familia set out to test their weapons, and today in the dungeon...

But we never spoke at all.

However, the other person was indeed very beautiful, almost as beautiful as elves and goddesses, and her expression was cold and indifferent, like an exquisite porcelain doll.

The blue boots she wore, the rather awkward backless pure white dress, and the half-body armor that looked a bit strange no matter how you looked at it were simple yet distinctive.

People always say three nothings and three nothings, but such beautiful girls are usually memorable.

So, what then?

El was simply pulled far away by the blonde girl.

Completely ignoring the quiet chirping of his own clan members.

Ai Si's attitude was sincere and her expression was firm.

Facing the confused Al, he spoke directly and expressed his thoughts.

"Can I see that guy again? It would be even better if I could fight him. I want to... give it a try..."

Such completely incoherent words are just confusing.

"Ounegai!"

The sudden request makes people feel heavy.

But Al probably still understood what Ais meant.

"That's what you're talking about, right?"

When he first met the girl, an accident occurred, and the impending explosion activated his [self-defense mechanism].

So, "that thing" appeared and was seen by the other party.

interesting.

"That's right!"

Aisi was extremely determined.

She wanted to become stronger, so she had to kill the huge darkness that "devoured" her parents with her own hands.

But since reaching LV5, the growth of [ability value] has become extremely slow. Even if you go to a deeper level, it may only increase by a single digit.

Although this is normal, the girl still felt a certain anxiety.

"Yes, yes."

Al easily agreed to the girl's request.

This surprised Ai Si a little, because... asking other high-level adventurers to accompany you in training is a very difficult thing in itself - if they are not from the same clan, why would they help you?

Is such that.

So Al continued.

"I can give you the challenge you crave, but all pleasure (satisfaction) comes at a price."

【really……】

The girl nodded calmly, but she never expected that she could not understand what El's next request was.

"So, starting today, you will be my guinea pig (experimental subject)."
