Bonus – Visit to the Unknown – 12 Great Modifications in an Old Battlefield
The Super Beasts left quietly .
Their instincts must have told them that they could not win against Veldora .
Veldora and the others did not even bother to watch them leave . They quickly cleaned up after the barbecue and renewed their journey .
During the silent march, Zaza made a decision and approached Veldora .
“Ah, um…Veldora, sir, uh, lord? I would like to ask you something…”
Zaza seemed very anxious about talking to him now .
“What is it Zaza? What happened to your usual brazen attitude?”
“Uh, no, it’s… Ahahahaha…”
He tried to hide his awkwardness with a laugh .
It could not be helped .
When he thought back on the way he had treated Veldora, he had to realize that he had been incredibly rude .
Veldora just grinned mischievously and teased Zaza .
This was very unbecoming, but that could not be helped, since it was Veldora .
After all, Veldora was an evil dragon by nature .
And so he continued to toy with Zaza for a while until he got bored .
“Hmm . No, it is better when you talk normally . Being so formal is no fun at all . ”
“What!? I wasn’t talking like that for your amusement—ah!”
“Kahahaha! Yes, yes, that’s much better!”
“I am very sorry for everything I did! I didn’t realize how great you really were, Lord Veldora…”
“Oh, Zaza . I find it creepy when you call me that . You can just say ‘mister . ’ However! Do not forget to be respectful, alright?”
“Creepy…what do you think…”
“Oh, don’t worry about it . It’s nothing Zaza . ”
“Alright, alright! I’m starting to think maybe it was a misunderstanding that I thought you looked so amazing a while ago…”
“Kaaaahahahaha! What a funny little joke, Zaza!”
And like that, they returned to their usual banter .
Veldora enjoyed it this way, and so while he continued to act grand, he allowed Zaza to speak casually .
Veldora preferred to be friends with people instead of having them fear him .
“So, Vel-, Mister Veldora . Who are you?”
Zaza asked his question .
Everyone else was also interested in this question, and the surrounding adults perked up their ears .
“Hmm . It is no secret, really . But would you believe me?”
“Yes, yes . Of course, I would believe! After all, we’ve already seen such a ridiculous sight as you punching a Super Beast!”
The adults nodded silently to this .
“Master . Why don’t you tell them the truth? I bet they won’t believe you anyway . ”
“I agree . They will not believe you . ”
Ramiris and Beretta whispered . Veldora felt the same .
But he did not care if they believed him or not .
“Then I will tell you . I am a visitor from another world . You can call me the result of supernatural power…or more simply, the dragon who controls the storm . Yes . ”
Veldora got bored of explaining and ended it abruptly .
He didn’t know what religions existed here, but he didn’t think they would understand if he said he was a god or a holy spirit .
“Hahaha . Like from a myth?”
“How nostalgic . I almost forgot that people used to pray to a god . ”
“Religion faded away once people started living in the cities . Why pray to a god that doesn’t help you when you can trust the city to protect your lifestyle . ”
Rindo and Sharma said .
As Veldora predicted, they no longer believed in such things anymore .
“So . Seriously, what are you…?”
Zaza had decided that Veldora was just joking, and so he asked him again .
However, Veldora just laughed .
“Kahahaha! Don’t worry . All you need to know is that I am amazing . And then you cannot go wrong!”
Zaza agreed . There was no point in hearing any more .
Because it was true, Veldora was amazing .
By what principle, technology or features, it was all unknown . But it was probably some top-secret, advanced technology, he thought .
Of course, they were all underestimating Veldora .
They still saw him as human .
To them, Veldora was a high-powered cyborg who might just be able to take on, if not beat, the Machinery Four .
It was a big mistake, but they were unable to realize it yet .
The party continued to walk for some time .
The protection suits were heavy, just like an astronaut’s suit . And even though they aided the wearer in terms of mobility, they could not go very fast .
At most, they could travel about 5 kilometers in an hour .
While they did not get too tired, it was mentally exhausting to have to repeat the same movements repeatedly .
The children found it especially tough .
And so it was with an apologetic voice that Karman began to talk .
“Really, though . While we don’t have to worry about Super Beasts because Veldora and Beretta are here, it will still be dangerous if those of the Empire found us . Now, if only we had our Powered Suits, we could fight…”
“Indeed . Out Plasma Gattling is out of ammunition . And we are cyborgs who mainly fight with weapons . Our basic features are not that advanced . ”
