Chapter 15 (1/2)

15.LITTLE GIRL SHOWS HER PRIDED DOLL

“Oh, isn´t it Bela-san? How could I help you?”

Bela´s group, who left the colosseum and came to the storehouse of the Benmark company, were being welcomed by Kooza.

Right now, Bela´s [Aiandinna] and the machiini she captured of the model of Paroma´s knight group were being stored in the garage located inside this storehouse of the Benmark company.

Machiini that had special abilities and machiini used by knight groups were very rare, so it was dangerous to leave them at the parking lot of the city prepared for everyday use. Because of that, Bela entrusted the machiinis to Kooza, leaving them inside these garages.

Bela pointed to Bal, who was standing behind her, and answered Kooza.

“Yeah, this guy here might become a new member, you see. I came here just to show him the machiini for a bit. Are you free now?”

“Yes. The magician that is capable of subduing the dragon heart stone still didn´t arrive, but there won´t be any problems for that.”

While saying that, Kooza looked at the man that had the same tan-skin as Bela. His face was one Kooza had memories of.

“Hoh, isn´t it the gladiator Bal Maskar? Since you two are together, could it mean that you two are relatives?”

Bela laughed at Kooza´s words.

“Nope, it´s not that. You see, it´s not like we came from the same place. I was born from immigrants here, so I don´t really know the thing about those tribes.”

The Rahsa were people that lived in the desert of the west. But even so, they had high physical ability and were feared as a warring tribe. Every tribe worked as a mercenary group, and in case they were to become slaves, they would be sold in high price due to their capability.

“That´s right. But when you were talking about Bal-san taking a look at the machiini, does it mean that you will be giving it to him?”

“Well, that is if he agrees.”

Kooza nodded at Bela´s words, saying “I see”.

“I would have urged you to sell the machiini if you hadn´t found a pilot. Since you have already made your decision, then it can´t be helped. Well then, I will guide you there.”

As he said that, Kooza brought Bela´s group to the garage the machiini was in.

“Oh, so this is a machiini of a knight group?”

Once Bal got inside the garage, he unconsciously let out a voice of praise. What was inside the garage was a machiini of the model of the knight group of Paroma that Bela was proposing to handing to him. Its total height was more than four meters. The dirt that acc.u.mulated due to its days in the bandit group was cleaned, and even the damaged parts were completely repaired.

There were many other machiinis lined up around the garage, but that machiini made Bal believe that the other machiinis paled in terms of completeness.

This was only the obvious to begin with. Each nation had their own formula for the growth of the machiinis of their knight groups, and by following it, the machiini would mature in an uniform and standardized manner. Hence, the highly fuctional machiini of the knight groups would be ma.s.s-produced to be stronger than the average machiini.

Moreover, the captured machiini has already gone through its period of growth and was now in a stable period.

Seeing that Bal eyes were being focused on the weapon as he was fixedly looking at the machiini, Bela asked Kooza.

“Can you get me a katana in exchange for the armament?”

“Yes, we have some in the stock. However, there isn´t anything of grade higher than this sword and s.h.i.+eld.”

“So he said. What will it be?”
