4-61: The Mischievous Kid is Reckless (4/4)

However, there was a limit to how unexpected Frire could afford Shinichi to be.

Wait, Nakamura. Im begging you, wait. Thats not what I was trying to get at, Frire said.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

You wanted a good excuse, right? Well, theres plenty. For one, theres an urgent need for Earth to develop equipment for Status, so you could just say that Tomoe was chosen to gather data for that. Though if you pick that for your excuse, youll need an exoskeleton that meets that purpose, which we dont have.

Thats why they needed to make one.

A very simple logic, Shinichi said as he grabbed a terminal from his pocket() and started messing with it.

The girls have already gotten used to his antics, but this time, even they couldnt help but be stunned.

W-Wait a moment, Icchi! I get what youre saying, but what do you mean youre going to make one right now!?

Exactly, we dont have any material or facilities or data!

But we do.

They panicked and pointed that out, but he just readily answered and left them speechless.

Because two more terminals appeared from his pocket, and this time, they werent the ones from school.

His foster was equipped on his arm right from the start, so just whose were these terminals?

Shinichi indifferently answered their questioning gazes.

I still have the terminals I stole from those volunteer army guys. Of course, the exoskeletons and weapons they were using are inside too. So all we have to do is fiddle with them and repurpose them for Tomoe.

Shinichi casually said as though he were preparing something as simple as supper.

Aristel was more than happy to provide that information, but the faces around them were twitching.

That was not because they didnt want her to talk about it. After all, it was exceedingly likely that they would have to fight together in the near future, so it was only right that they learned their units traits and abilities.

That was also why Aristel didnt hesitate to offer information about hers.

The problem was that he was casually modifying the exoskeleton at the same time.

Though they indeed came here with expectations for this sort of exchange, they couldnt help but be bothered by how Shinichi maintained that casual attitude even after the topic took a serious turn.

What was frightening about him was that they couldnt tell whether he was deliberately feigning insanity and enjoying the reactions of those around him or this was just his natural state.

But regardless whichever it was, and whatever they thought about it, the result would remain the same the exoskeleton would be made here, and they would share information about their own units.

Well, its Icchi, Myuhi said.

Its Nakamura, after all, Frire said.

Its this guy were talking about, Ryou said.

Thats why they had no choice but to rely on those magic words and laugh powerlessly.

In that regard, Aristel, who could accept him so favorably, was someone to be envied.

Kyu kyu kyu.

The only one who found that funny and laughed from the bottom of her heart was Youko, who was already used to it().
