Chapter Text
Chapter 1
The life in the Hyperion for the captains was a bit peaceful ever since Finality has reached its conclusion. A lot have said their goodbyes and many more have embraced their future, leaving the crisis against Honkai behind.
Now?
They are processing the enlistment of Schicksal staff to the system. Due to certain complications, that would take a while considering that there are other issues that both St. Freya and Schicksal need to work on.
One of them is to maintain peaceful relations between Schicksal which was newly reformed and World Senators government
These three would honestly have to agree that they rather let these elected officials get devoured by zombie corpse in the Honkai wave as they have been nothing but a pain in the ass both for them and their Valkyries.
Sadly, that is just a fleeting dream.
Don't get them wrong.
They can make it happen and they are that tempted to do so as the World Senators has been the main contributor on making their Valkyires
But they rather avoid Theresa scolding at them.
Fortunately for all of them, they recently finished filling up the necessary paperworks for the entire month.
Hajime makes a long relieved sigh, causing Sebastian Redgrave and Meta Mahesvara to look at him.
Hajime (Hajime Stellar) :“Glad that is over.”
He rubbed his head as he finished the last paper and submitted it to the two so they both could sign.
Hajime: “Darn, that was a pain in the butt to finish.” *He scratched his head.*
Seb (Sebastian Redgrave) : “Well….. Paperworks are what we usually do when there isn't a battle going on. You should know that by now.”
Meta (Meta Mahesvara): “Agreed. Even I write my own scripts from time to time to make everything flawless. As Daunting as it may sound.”
Hajime: “Yeah…… I know. Just wanted to vent that out for a while.” He stretched out his back “That feels so much better.”
Hajime heard a notification from his phone to which he picked it up and read.
Hajime: “Hmmm…….. Looks like the girls are getting ready for their Gala.”
Both Seb and Meta received the same notification and gave a tense look after reading.
Meta: “Meaning there will be a lot of behind-the-scenes going on while the girls are on stage with the sleazeballs.”
Seb: “Theresa, Rita, Fu Hua and Elysia will be there to keep things……….. as is.” *looks at the phone* “Don’t forget….. Natasha and Dr. Einstein will be there to keep in case that they decide to plan ahead on taking advantage of the girls.”
Hajime raised an eyebrow: “Remind me again as to why we are willing to accommodate these sleazeballs?”
Seb: “In order for us to show that we are not straying from our path and not follow Otto’s example, the heroines are to attend the gala and mingle with everybody that were able to attend the gala. And they have to be on their best behaviour or else it would cause the public to see that the Valkyries are nothing more that killing machines usually and us three captains are ‘enablers’ of said destruction.”
Hajime: “And the reason why we are attending or invited is because we never took part or contributed to the battlefield so they don't see the reason of handing us the envelope.”
Meta: “Technically, it was an electronic invitation distributed by our dear Helper named Aillie. Nevertheless, it was for the sake of formality and tradition. So it wasn't something we can't refuse since this could impact our Valkyrie's way of life to the society.”
Hajime: “So our Valkyries get to go to a gala blind where all of the snobbish aristocrats and opportunistic business get to join their sick heads together on how to get along with the girls. You do realize how that sounds right?”
Meta: “Please do not tempt me on showing them what lethal force looks like.” Meta sighed as he gripped his pen.
Hajime: “I wish that we get to be there instead of waiting for the Honkai wave to appear. I am this close to putting a hollow point in their heads.”
Meta: “Verily.”
Seb: “That we can agree on.” *Still holding the phone* “Well….. We already took out our communications. Might as well check up on them.”
Hajime: “You can patch it through Persephone’s communication monitors for better UI.” *Sebastian sent his thanks.* “Aillie. Work your magic.”
Aillie (Hajime’s personal holographic Ai-chan):“You got it, boss.”
A holotab appeared in front of them and it was calling Theresa.
Theresa (Theresa Apokalypse): “Seb?”
Seb:“You are on speaker, Theresa. And I have Hajime and Meta with me.”
Theresa: “Oh. That is good to hear. We were about to ask you to get them anyway.”
Hajime: “Wait….. We?”
Elysia M. Stellar: “Hi pumpkin~!” *Hajime immediately regretted asking as Elysia’s head popped out.
Hajime: “*sighs* Hi Honey………*groaned*”.
Both Meta and Sebastian chuckled as they patted him on the back.
Elysia: “Oh! Brother is with you as well. Hi bro! You’re looking sharp as ever. You too Sebastian.”
Meta: “Well…. Part of showbiz, my dearest sister. Looking good for the spotlight has to be one of my main objectives.” Seb shook his head while crossing his arms.
Raven (Natasha Cioara): “Sometimes……. I just wonder how I am supposed to deal with you.” *As her voice was heard through the phone which can also acts as a shared communicator.
Meta: “My darling wife! How are you nowadays? Hasnt seen you in a while.” Meta opened his arms as he welcomed Raven’s voice.
Raven: “Well……. Working as Theresa’s Shadow guard has its perks. The only downside is that I am still married to you.”
Meta: “Sticks and stones. But I am still wearing that vow to my heart.”
Raven: “I really hate it when you get poetic. You get more annoying than you already are.” She scoffed at Meta’s cheesy comment.
Meta: “I wouldn't be a showman if I didnt know how to entice my audience.”
Raven: “Yeah…. Whatever. Let me get back on eavesdropping on these pigs.” As Raven put her communicator on silent mode.
Hajime: “Natasha. If they ever lay a single finger on one of our valkyries, you are allowed to pull that trigger.” Hajime made a flat face statement.
Elysia: “Honey~ You promised that there won't be any of that while we girls are having fun with the gala.”
Hajime: “The definition of fun can be arbitrary, Ellie.” As Hajime was maintaining that stoic look.
Elysia: “Oof. So clingy. I am loving the attention though~ *Hajime sighed as Ellie giggled* Lighten up. We will be fine. I promise that we cute girls will get to be back home. Safe and sound. And there will be a wife, warming up your bed once you come home, untouched and unclaimed.”
Hajime groaned a bit harder after Ellie winked at him. The wording made both Seb and Meta chuckled.
Hajime:“How is it that you know how to push my buttons every time?” As Hajime leaned on to his desk and scratched his head in frustration.
Elysia: “And yet you still love me~”
Hajime: “Unfortunately.” Hajime sighed.
Theresa giggled.
Theresa::“If it makes you feel any better, I asked Rita to keep a look-out by lurking out in the shadows in case that they decided to do something funny while I have Raven to be the both sniper and communications interceptor.”
Hajime: “Thus making her the eyes and ears of the ball.” Theresa nodded.
Seb: “That is lovely then. Do tell my wife that she has to text me if she ever comes home so I can have tea ready for her.”
As Sebastian smiled after hearing Rita’s role.
Rita (Rita Rossweisse): “You are too good for me, my dear.” As Seb heard Rita’s voice through the comms.
Sounds like She is already in the comms.
Sebastian: “Back to the topic… You were saying that you were about to call us, Overseer?”
Theresa:“Right. Rita and Raven overheard that one of the politicians here had managed to find something interesting and they believed that they could create an army whose strength rivals that of the Hyperion..”
Hajime: “We have dealt with a competition that was against Schicksal before. What makes this different?”
Thersea:“Only this time, they showed similar technologies that Vill V used to make.”
This caused Meta to drop the whole ‘director’ demeanor.
Meta:“Are you absolutely certain, Elysia?”
Elysia: “Quite positive, brother. One of the reasons why we wanted to call you, handsome boys.~”
Hajime: “Wait…… Didn't you tell me that you have all of her blueprints locked up with a safe and key?”
Hajime looked at Meta with concern.
Meta:“That was a metaphor but yeah. And I kept checking almost daily that no one can get their grubby dirty hands on Vill-V’s final work. Especially how dangerous they are.”
Hajime noticed that Meta was about to break the bridge's main dashboard.
Hajime:“We will get those blueprints, Meta. We promise you.”
Meta felt both of their hands on his shoulders.
Meta: “Thank you but I don't really mind destroying……”
Seb: “This is not a negotiation, Meta. We will get them if it is the last thing we will do. After all, she was one who designed the main Hyperion ship and we would like to offer our respects.”
As Sebastian calms Meta down.
Hajime: “Not only that. We are sentimental folks. We save the things that matter to us the most. If we weren’t, Himeko wouldn't have acknowledged us as her successors.”
Meta:“Right…. Right…..” Meta took deep breaths. “Apologies. Almost lost my character there. But the director does owe his sincere thanks to you two.”
Hajime: “We are always here. Besides, Us Schicksalritters must stick together, yeah?” Hajime reached out his fist, prompting Sebastian and Meta to bump theirs with his.
Seb & Meta :“Always.”
Meta: “Righto. So where will the action of the three Ritters take place?” He looked at Theresa
Theresa:“Mystical Temple of Shambala.”
Seb: “Hmmm….. Mystical temple that can be rarely found by anyone but the place grants eternal peace, strength and purity and eternal youth to those who have managed to found the magic temple. Not only that, it also relieves people free from suffering”. *As Seb looked it up.*
Hajime: “Translation: Not only it saves people from Honkai corruption, It also grants them strength to fight and immortality. Actually, you had me at free from Honkai corruption. Kiana is good but she is not that overpowered.”
Meta: “I mean….. it would mean to say that Kiana has found a way to do it?”
Seb: “Wouldn't she have contacted us first about that if that were the case? And I am quite certain that being free from Honkai would mean to say that they don't have Kiana’s blessing anymore. We could have Kiana checked if that Mystical temple is legit or not.”
Hajime: “I'd rather not. Kiana already has her plate full already being our goddess and all of that. I'd rather give our defending goddess a break. Thank you so much.”
Meta: *chuckles* “If only she heard you say that.”
Hajime': “Yeah well. She can bite me for all I care. That little scamp is still our Valkyrie. And I rather give her gifts than more workload.” Seb, Theresa and Meta chuckled after Hajime unconsciously showed his genuine concerns to Kiana.
Meta: “Thanks for the breaking news, Dear Theresa. We will handle it from here.”
Seb: “Just finished looking up possible locations of our mysterious temple.” Seb swiped his fingers and the holographic display of Shambala, albeit a crude art, was shown.
Hajime: “And I just finished giving our guys at R&D a heads up.
As the three headed to R&D after Theresa dropped the communications to avoid suspicions in the gala.
After all, the valkyries are in a private event.
It would be a shame if someone in high authority realized that the overseer is in a direct line with the captains when she shouldn't be.
After all……
It was a captain-free zone as they planned.
Why do you think that all three of them were kinda pissed?
—---------------------------------------------------------
Dr. Tesla: “Dr. Nagamitsu, You have visitors.” Dr. Nagamitsu looked.
Nagamistu: “Oh Hey captains. What made you come by?”
Hajime: “We got a recon mission assigned to us by Theresa.”
Nagamitsu: “Translation: You need equipment in case things just go haywire.” Dr. Nagamitsu crossed her arms.
Seb: “That is an awful way to say it.” Sebastian was first to stop by her table.
Nagamitsu: “I am quite aware how lady luck treats you when you three are on a mission.”
Hajime: “Yeah…… Not fun….. And this is us hoping that you would even the odds.” *Crosses his arms*.
Nagamitsu: “Hmmm…… Alright. Needed someone to check out the gears I specifically made for you anyways.” Nagamitsu pressed a few buttons on her dashboard and 3 Anti-Entropy weapon R&D boxes were deployed by a nearby mechanical crane.
“We will go with Captain Redgrave first.” Seb walked towards who was now being handled by Nagamitsu.
“Now, the following weapons here are your gears that I have tried to at least upgrade so that you would have a fighting chance against a honkai wave. And the majority had their structural integrity tweaked by our very own weapons engineer of a cyborg, Aron.”
*CLANK!*
*BANG!*
*CLANK!*
She pointed to the cyborg who was faintly shown only by a shadowy silhouette who was apparent that he was working on something.
“First is your Fairbairn-Sykes knife.” Dr. Nagamitsu showed him his fighting knife that was gifted to him by his father.
The only thing that was different from what he remembered is that there are few indentations that oddly look like you could insert a few marbles in the handle.
“Are these……. core slots?” As Seb recognized that said core slots looks like something you could insert Elysia’s pink crystal with.
“Good guess. Following Elysia’s honkai energy absorbing crystal principle, the crystal core provides enhancements to your knife. Depending what type of enemy it encountered, it can either take hits or give hits back without the drawback of it being destroyed or corroded.”
“Hmmm…. That sounds handy. What do you mean by the type of enemies it will encounter?”
Dr. Nagamitsu pressed a button on her dashboard and the lab itself summoned a SIM frost honkai beast that was stationary and docile.
She gave the monster a slashing strike, letting the monster vanish into thin air and the core glowed light blue.
Seb noticed that it was releasing a frosty aura.
She summoned another and gave another slashing strike. This time, the beast froze into a giant stalagmite as soon as she struck it with the knife.
Seb: “Wow…….”
Nagamitsu: “The only thing i couldnt do is the limitation of the energy it can hold. Because after that…….” The core instantly shattered. “But dont be too concerned about the cores because i will tell you that later.”
Seb: “Thank you so much.”
Nagamitsu: “Welcome but please do remember that the knife is only enhanced where it ignores the impenetrable hides and scales of Honkai wave zombies, honkai beasts and automatons. Resistance however will likely happen so please do be careful. They will also evade and retaliate. After all, this weapon is just only enhanced to even the playing field you yourself are in. Others are fair game. " Seb nodded.
Nagamitsu: “Next are the weapons that you asked me for modifications. After studying the power of Herscherr of truth’s authority firsthand, you shouldnt be worried about ammo being depleted because the ammos, upon your designation, can be recreated based on how much honkai energy it can absorb in the area. But I had installed a honkai power shard just in case.”
Hajime: “Wouldnt that be a bad thing?”
Nagamitsu: “Normally, it isnt but i had developed him a combat suit where he is safe from Honkai Corruption as not even a trace of Honkai corruption energy can infect him. I had someone with the least honkai resistance in the lab wear this and had him walk around St. Freya filled with highly powered valkyries for a week. The result showed in that experiment was that he had 0.001% honkai corruption increase in his system.”
Seb: “Daily?” He examined the suit.
Nagamitsu: “Total.” Hajime whistled at that.
Hajime: “What is the catch?”
Nagamitsu: “Many. This is just a prototype but very expensive to produce. Not only that, it isn't one size fits all and the fabric isn't indestructible and there isnt a spare for you. And due to the lack of resource, we cannot mass produce this.”
Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "These arent bad cons to work with. They are doable in fact. So please be honest. What is the problem with this protective combat suit that you have for me, Dr. Nagamitsu?"
Dr. Nagamitsu scratched her head: "............ Rita specifically designed yours."
Seb: "Oh........OH… You mean she......."
Dr. Nagamitsu: "That is right......Meaning she had the liberty of designing what type of combat suit it was since she had your measurements." Dr. Nagamitsu showed him the combat suit.
....
Hajime: "In other words, Rita designed it into a skin-tight one piece body-suit." Seb facepalmed.
Seb: "Oh dear...... what does she get out of this?"
Dr. Nagamitsu pulled out a video camera. "Pictures for references and there are few angles that she needs to get a good look at. But she understood that it isn't her top priority. So it is more what she call side bonuses."
Meta: "....... At least it is stylish."
Hajime: "Yeah.. And it looks like you can move easily in it."
Seb: "Oh shush....the both of you." Seb took the one piece bodysuit.
Nagamitsu: “The changing room is that way.” Dr. Nagamitsu pointed him in the direction.
Sebastian just sighed as he grabbed the suit. But Nagamitsu immediately stabbed him with multiple injections into his arm, causing him to flinch.
Seb: “Ow! What was that for?”
Nagamitsu: “Aron’s another development and it includes nanobots. What I injected you with was multiple series of nanobots that would likely help you avoid getting corrupted and getting killed in the process.” Seb raised an eyebrow.
Nagamitsu: “Inspired from the idea as to how Hajime heals himself with his own ability…… In the likely event that you ever got corrupted by honkai energy, these nanobots will live in your bloodstream and absorb nearby honkai corruption. After that, It acts sort of like metabolic fuel as they helps you restore and heal whatever damaged organs that they stumbled into while circulating in your bloodstream. But the only problem is that they don't last that long once they have overused their role and if you let out too much blood in the battlefield you three are about to head into, most likely those nanobots will come along with the fray.”
Seb: “Understood.” Seb rubbed his arm.
Nagamitsu: “Not only that, some of the nanobots are registering your body’s biometrics to the exosuit that Aron managed to whip up. So no one can try to steal it for a joyride.” Seb nodded.
Dr. Nagamitsu: “Now….. For Captain Mahesvara.” Meta stepped forward as Seb began to inspect the weapon that was provided to him.
Meta: “I prefer to be called Director Mahesvara.”
Dr. Nagamitsu: “Yeah…… No.” Meta slumped.
Meta: “Awww….” Dr. Nagamitsu rolled her eyes.
Nagamitsu: “As for you, Captain Mahesvara….. I analyzed what you sent out to me before and your suspicions were right on the money. This is a material made out of quantum energy. Probably one of the densest materials I have seen.” She presented a glowing purple sphere.
Meta: “A purple ball?”
Nagamitsu: “That purple ball nearly broke all of my forgery equipment. Aron got really frustrated and took out his most indestructible hammers to forge at least something with it. And this is the only thing he could create out of that ore.”
Hajime: “So it is not possible to make a weapon out of it?”
Nagamistu “Not exactly. Whenever Aron himself struck a hammer against that material, a small burst of energy came out. And after a few while, it goes back to that said ore, only weaker. Which probably explains why we have problems crafting something out of that.
“After that small energy burst, I decided to test a theory. We used Elysia’s absorbent crystals to see if it absorbs that energy that came out of that crystal as I asked our weapons engineer to forge again.” Dr. Nagamitsu pressed a button and a nearby crate was opened, showing piles upon piles of purple crystals.
“Not only we had to use up all of what was left of Herscherr of Domination crystals we had left in the inventory, we had to put Elysia overtime to make those crystals. And it was a lot.”
“Looks like you have a good amount of resources to create something. What is the problem?” Seb crossed his arms as he was interested.
Dr. Nagamitsu handed Sebastian a glock and a dummy target from afar.
“I want you to shoot that dummy with that glock. Use up everything in the magazine if you want.” Sebastian instantly depleted the bullets in that glock as he complied.
After a few short burst, the target was full of holes. Dr. Nagamitsu pressed a button on her dashboard. The machine moved forward with the paper target and whatever bullet and casing used were automatically compiled together in the end.
Nagamitsu: “What you just used was a bullet powered by the magazine equipped with the crystals with the most concentrated quantum energy stored. And look at the bullets’ power and how much it infected the target.” They all looked and saw that the bullets were still fully charged and the quantum corruption on the target was small, it could hardly infect a plant with it.
“The best we could make are protective armor and quite possibly a temporary enhancer to our future forging equipment.”
Hajime: “So we aint getting something from this, huh? Darn. Thought we could have reached a breakthrough.”
Nagamitsu: “That unless Captain Mahesvara does something about it.”
Meta: “Moi? What do you mean?” Meta raised an eyebrow.
Nagamitsu: “While I was analyzing the ore’s energy, it somehow had a certain……. signature.”
Hajime: “Signature? As in Honkai energy signature? Like how certain weapons are locked to certain Valkyries’s honkai energy signature?” Dr. Nagamitsu nodded.
Nagamistu: “What was odd about it is that it had a similar energy signature as Captain Mahesvara’s. Not identical but it somehow was similar to his.” They all looked at Captain Mahesvara. “So captain? If you please?”
Meta held the heavy purple sphere and channeled his energy into it.
A few minutes later, the sphere began to form a fluid shape. And the energy readings in the laboratory were blaring as extreme honkai energy was detected which Dr. Nagamitsu had to override to proceed with what Meta was doing.
Meta was confused and, at the same time, intrigued as the quantum ore felt familiar to him. So much so, it almost felt like putty in his hands.
He raised an eyebrow to see if he could make something out of it.
He morphed it into small figurines and he smiled.
It didn't take that long for him to figure out what he needed to have in his hand next.
Later, Meta was holding a ringmaster staff and a top hat on each hand.
Meta: “Well…… I will be damned. Talk about a surprising introduction.” Meta gave a surprised look as he twirled his hat unto himself and held both hands on that staff after tapping it on the floor.
Nagamitsu: “*sighs* So much equipment wasted……. At least, I know who to reach out to if I have something in mind with those ores.” Dr. Nagamitsu muttered. “So? How are you feeling? Any side effects you are experiencing? Any corruption in your stomach or brain?”
Meta: “None that I am feeling so far. In fact. I feel like I want to call out an audience.…..”
Meta pointed his staff to a lone dummy target.
He then morphed his staff into a spear by adding a sharp tip.
He then aimed and threw the javelin at the dummy target dead center.
Normally he would have a hard time keeping it as is due to how unstable quantum energies are.
But using the staff as a medium of his abilities, he can use the power he has in him in a whim without issues.
And he wouldn't have problems with his energy reserves.
Being a quantum walker has its perks.
Feeling ecstatic, he wanted to see if he could do anything else aside from turning it into a pointy stick.
He began to form a long series of chains between him and the spear.
Meta: "You over there! Feeling lonely, arent we? So why don’t you…… get over here!” Dr. Nagamitsu, Seb and Hajime immediately ducked as soon as they saw the target was being yanked towards him, causing a big mess in the lab as soon as it was approaching Meta at high speed.
Meta quickly held the spear that was still attached to the target as soon as all of his powers retreated back to him and smiled as if there was no immediate side effects. He detached the spearing, leaving a gaping hole, and morphed it into his signature ringmaster staff.
He twirled his staff and tapped the ground, losing its colored sheen a bit for a moment.
Later, he placed the dummy target on the table and Dr. Nagamitsu analyzed the specimen.
Nagamitsu: “Amazing, it showed a higher quantum corruption than what the bullets did. And comparing your last physical to today, you showed a higher energy concentration in your attacks without signs of physical strain in the body.” Meta was examining his staff as well.
Meta: “Hmmm…….. The staff’s energy doesn't feel the same anymore.”
Nagamitsu: “Hmmm….. I am merely speculating but i am guessing that the energy of that quantum material is limited. The restoration of quantum energy will likely never be the same as how you exerted it at the first, like what happened with the forging.”
Meta: “But it does come back, yes?”
Nagamitsu: “Yeah….. But like I said, it will never be the same as when you first use it. There is a likely chance that it might not go back to full energy at all. There are few possibilities on how to fully recharge it but I cant draw up some conclusions due to the fact that our studies with the Sea of Quanta, let alone the ores found in it , are still limited. It still follows the laws of conservation of energy, I suppose.”
Meta: “Hmmm….. Learning on the job? I am flexible so the leading actor doesn't mind.” Dr. Nagamistu rolled her eyes but Meta’s eyes showed confusion on what just happened.
Hajime: "Glad that thou were entertained, brother. Perhaps thou can proceed in the forthcoming nights of respite?" Meta blinked at Hajime's nonsense.
Meta: *blinks his eyes multiple times* "Come again?"
Hajime: "I said that it is nice to know that you had fun and maybe practice more during your off days."
Meta: "Hmmm.... Yeah! A solid suggestion." He shook his head as if shaking away the nonsense that occurred.
To everyone else, Meta looked fine.
To Meta, his brain felt glitchy and he feels like he is about to have a headache.
He quickly grabbed a bar of chocolate and took a bite, letting himself remedy from that small glimpse of migraine.
Nagamitsu: "I will make some combat suits for you out of those quantum crystal piles.” Meta bowed in dramatic fashion, showing his gratitudes.
Nagamitsu: “I will also make some quantum energy based ammunition based on what I observed today. So that would take a while. Do you mind the wait, Captain Redgrave?” Seb shrugged his shoulders.
Seb: “Take your time, we are still searching for the mythical lost city of Shambala. And we are still scouring the whole Himalayas for that. So we got time.” Dr. Nagamitsu nodded.
Nagamitsu: “Next would be Captain Stellar.” As Dr. Nagamitsu crossed her arms with a scowl at him, causing him to chuckle sheepishly.
Hajime: “Still mad?”
Nagamitsu: “Whenever you break the weapons I made for you? Always. You are one of the reasons why I had to run the weapons by senpais and Herscherrs to see if they can be broken or not so that you can’t break them by accident.” Hajime sweatdropped.
Hajime: “Oh come on….. Don't be like that. I am sure you know that I am trying my best not to.”
Seb: “I thought you never minded that the weapons get destroyed. After all, they are prototypes.” Seb raised his hand to show his confusion.
Nagamitsu: “I mind if I hadn't gathered the readings stored in those weapons’ AI cores yet."
Seb: “Wait….. the weapons have embedded computers on them?”
Nagamitsu “Only the ones that are prototypes.That way, we can go further with our research.” Dr. Nagamitsu looked at Hajime with a tense look. “But that is not possible if you keep blowing them to smithereens!” Hajime raised both of his hands.
“I will try to avoid it.” Dr. Nagamitsu sighed.
Nagamitsu: “Be grateful that Aron's advanced brain managed to looked into their cores and managed to get all of the readings and recordings before they were destroyed. And Fortunately for you, Lightning Bows of Odysseus, Fists of Fimbulwinter and Embers of Maori are still somewhat in good shape and enhanced after their combat data has been gathered. So these are the weapons that I could enhance for Captain Stellar.” She displayed Hajime’s pair of lighting pistols, a pair of oversized ice gauntlets and a fire greatsword.
She looked at Seb. “Forgot to tell you this but all of your weapons and ammunition are stored in this pocket cube.” She handed him a small cube. “Take this wristwear with you so you can choose which weapon you could swap out whenever you feel like it.” Seb equipped himself with that wristwear. He turned on the device, displaying a holotab in front of him.
He chose the fighting knife.
The knife materialized in front of him and he grabbed it.
Testing it out, he threw the knife to another dummy target at the forehead.
As soon as he was about to walk towards it, Dr. Nagamitsu stopped him with a smile.
Nagamitsu: “I have a neat trick for you. See that arrow button at the lower left? Press it.” Not questioning the doctor, he pressed it.
The knife disappeared and it materialized in his hand, ready to be used again.
“Huh…….. That is a cool trick.”
“Yep….. I had the idea that a certain valkyrie or knight might lose the weapon during combat deployment as he or she has the habit of throwing it aside.” Dr. Nagamitsu looked at Hajime as the knight whistled. “So I decided to develop an idiot-proof way for them to not lose it in battle. And this applies to yours and Captain Stellar’s weapons.”
Seb: "But no fool-proof way to stop the weapons from getting self-destructed or destroyed…….” Dr. Nagamitsu sighed as she agreed with Seb.
Nagamitsu: “Unfortunately……..” As she finished with the weapon introductions.
“That would be all for now. As for your combat suits, I still need you to wear that combat suit for further readings, Captain Redgrave.” Seb sighed.
Seb: “Is there no other way?”
Nagamitsu:“You want to run that by your wife?” Seb slumped.
Seb: “Where is the changing room?” Dr. Nagamitsu pointed the other direction.
Nagamitsu: "Get comfy with that suit, Romeo. You are about to do some poses for future research.”
Seb: “You are clearly enjoying this……..”
Nagamistu: “I wouldn't be a good scientist if I wasn't.” Sebastian headed to change with a defeated look.
“As for you two, Git!” Dr. Nagamitsu pushed both Meta and Hajime out of R & D labs.
“A researcher cant fully perform her duties if there is noise and pollution inside.”
Meta: “But we are the ones left here.”
Nagamitsu: “Exactly. I will call you when I need you.” Dr. Nagamitsu locked them out.
“Welp……. Wanna go ahead to the arcade while we wait for results?”
“Yeah….. Why not?”
The two decided to go for the arcade while Seb was trying out the tight suit that Rita designed for him.
Sufficed to say that his cake was more enough to motivate the Schicksal Assassin Maid as soon as she received the pictures through text.
