Chapter 81 - 81: Revamped Beetle (1/2)

Lambert stared at Issei for a good while before stretching out his hand, closed his eyes waiting for death. After a while, he opened his eyes as he didn't feel the expected pain he thought he would.

”Lambert”, Lambert said as his hand was outstretched in greeting.

Issei was at a loss for what to do for a moment before he quickly grabbed Lambert's hand with his own, ”Issei Hyoudou, NIce to meet you”, he said with courageously.

'Oh my god his hand is at least three times the size of mine and why does it feel like I'm being gripped by steel instead of flesh and blood.' Issei thought frantically while trying to hide the pain he was currently feeling in his hand.

Lambert let go of Issei's hand after they greeted each other with a handshake, causing Issei to heave a sigh of relief. Hiding the hand behind his back he opened and closed it to relieve some of the pain.

”Your mum and dad home, I would like to greet them before we go”

”They're not home, dad thought it would be a good opportunity for the two of them to go out for dinner”

”Alright then, let's go, oh, and don't forget to lock the door,” Lambert said as he headed towards his car. It was at this moment that Issei saw Aura in her dress, he was stunned by her beauty, but his thoughts immediately dissipated when he felt a cold pair of eyes lock on to him, he didn't even need to check to know who those eyes belonged to.

After giving Alex a good death stare, Lambert opened the beetle's door and pushed forward the seat so that Aura and Tosca could get into the back. Tosca climbed in immediately while Aura followed suit.

Issei was looking at this scene with a weird expression on his face, while Lambert got into the car. ' What in the world is this little thing supposed to be, if you going to take us somewhere at least drive something... bigger', Issei couldn't say better since beetles were good cars but for someone to go to a dance with it just seemed weird to him and he would have rather walked instead of driving in...that.

'Let's just hope it doesn't break down before we get to the dance', Issei thought as he got into the car. Even though the exhausts at the side of the beetle looked cool he didn't hold much hope for the car. Suprise immediately hit him when he sat inside, not only were the seats beyond comfortable, the dash didn't look anything like an old car like a beetle should have as almost evrything inside was digitized.

Taking out his key's Lambert inserted one of them into the ignition and switched on the car, causing evrything on the dash to suddenly light up, the once empty speedometer in front of him was now showing him all the information one would want in the car, there was also some texted currently on the screen.

<Booting>

<Scanning for Porblems: 17%...65%...100

<No problems detected>

<Boot successful, vehicle running at 100

Twisting his key's one more time Lambert started it, and with a weird exploding sound the engine started, roaring like an enraged demon god. Issei almost jumped through the roof when the car started, not expecting such a powerful sound coming from this little dinky-toy.

”Please buckle your seatbelts”, Lambert said as he switched the car into first gear, his passengers quickly putting on their seatbelts, and with only the release of the clutch, the pink monstrosity pulled away with such force that it pushed everyone into there seats.

Without even needing to put his foot on the gas pedal, the beetle had already reached forty sixty kilometers per hour. Lambert only needed to steer the car and use a bit of clutch control to drive in town.
