Volume 3 Chapter 8 Two Thousand Years of History

I was now in my third year of elementary school.

Luckily, I was able to get permission for a short leave to visit the Seventh Weapons Factory.

I was visiting in order to check the state of my machine.

what are you doing?

There were a bunch of people who were hugging and rubbing themselves against the newly renovated Avid.

Nias was among them, clinging onto it like a panda.

They didnt seem to notice me when I called out to them.

Oh my cute Avid, it was hard, wasnt it? Mommy here is so proud of you.

Apparently, Avids renovation was quite difficult.

Nias had broken.

Looking up at Avid, it didnt look that different.

However, both the frame and the armour were completely made of rare metals.

Its performance greatly surpassed the current generation of machines.

I was satisfied looking at the specs displayed in the catalog.

However

I dont like it.

When I muttered that, Marie closed the distance between us in an instant and dropped to her knee.

D-does something not satisfy you?!

Was she a ninja or something?

Well, it was fine.

I shouldve sent over some gold as well. Black armour with silver lining looks nice too, but I prefer gold.

At that moment, Nias seemed to wake up,

Who?! Who dares to sully my child with the colours of their poor taste?!

She said my preferences were in poor tastes.

Marie stood up and drew one of the sword handles she had hanging off her waist.

Almost immediately after, a blade extended from said handle.

It was a storage type weapon built for convenience.

Nias, youre an excellent engineer, so Ill finish this with only one sword in deference of your achievements of renovating Avid.

Nias started yelling for me,

GYAAAAAA!!! LORD LIAAAAAM!!!!

Wasnt her response similar to that of seeing a ghost?

Nias, get away from Avid. Lord Liams personal machine will be stained with your blood otherwise.

Thats enough.

I stopped Marie, whose gaze had frozen over, because it looked like she was going to kill her.

Nias, as an apology Ill forget that you said those words just now, but the parts of Avid that are silver I want repainted gold.

Nias eyes were filled with tears.

I dont want to!

You bitch!

She immediately refused my request.

And as Marie began lifting up her sword in response, I stopped her so she could explain,

The silver parts are connected to the inner frame. Its all mythril. Its the silver shine of something far more valuable than gold!

But I still like gold better. Better yet, lets paint all the non-silver parts gold as well!

Thats why you have poor taste! Cant you understand how brilliant this adamantium shine is?!

The crests and patterns on Avid were all silver.

Nias refuted my desire to have them all repainted in gold.

If it wasnt her saying it, I wouldve had her head.

If you paint over the mythril, the performance will drop! If I were to quantify it in numbers, the output would drop between two to five percent!

I was okay with that.

Thats fine, just repaint it.

It wasnt even painted in the first place! This black shine is the natural colour of adamantium! Ahh my cute Avid is being tainted in anothers poor tastes.

Nias was crying as she clung to Avid.

Marie turned towards me,

Lord Liam, do you want me to torture her?

Shes a pitiful girl, but I quite like her. Ill forgive this much. However, as punishment shell have to paint Avid herself, no matter how much she hates doing so.

I ordered Nias, who was completely against me request, to paint Avid herself.

Uwaaa~n, Lord Liam you idiiiiiooooooooot~!

It was fun to watch Nias paint while crying, and after making a few more adjustments to Avid, I returned to elementary school a few days later.

The elementary school while Liam was away.

Rosetta was summoned by one of the officials appointed to keep her family under watch.

do you want to participate in the tournament?

The officials asked Rosetta, who looked completely worn down,

We generously allowed you to attend elementary school. Why dont you participate and make some memories?

As a daughter of the Claudia Ducal house, are you really going to avoid participating like a coward?

You can just borrow money to cover the rental fees. Ill even introduce you to an acquaintance of mine for the loan.

They knew that shed only end up embarrassing herself.

While the lender would no doubt only give her high-interest loans.

Any decent person would never try to get involved with the Claudia house.

I understand.

But she couldnt decline.

This was because Rosetta couldnt last any longer against the officials harassm
