Although civilians were not allowed to enter—the mecha training ground was of the utmost importance— Max and Dima were both considered people of significant positions. Furthermore, the ones that they were bringing were their own mermen, so they were not stopped by the soldiers. After all, it was only natural to want to show off your mecha to your mate in order to gain the other's favourable opinion, and wors.h.i.+p was something everyone could understand.Only, the one doing this was unexpectedly Max, making many people raise their eyebrows. Clearly, the impression of him the ma.s.ses had always held was by no means that of a "romanticist".

Since it was him who had begged for this, Ya didn't struggle this time and allowed Max to carry him. This way, the other would not be annoyed and suddenly change his mind, going back on his promise. aKmw8E

It was truly unfortunate that Max didn't seem to appreciate the sentiment. Even though it was a merman in his arms, his face was still gloomy as an incoming storm in the mountains. This expression made the other three people not dare to breathe heavily, as they feared they would accidentally set off this hot and cold man.

This kind of situation continued on until they arrived at the Mecha Training Centre, and only then did the atmosphere ease slightly.

Since he was curious and excited to see the mechas, Ya immediately went from being terror-stricken to normal. He glanced this way and that, as if fearing he would miss something. His mouth constantly opened as he asked all kinds of questions pertaining to mechas.

Still, it was a pity that Max obviously did not have any patience to answer his questions. In order to prevent the situation from turning awkward, Dima, who had already gotten accustomed to acting as a nanny, had no choice but to take his place and patiently explain everything to Ya. 1zi90P

The four people got along very strangely. Max, walking forwards with a long face, carrying a surprised, red-faced merman that held onto his shoulders. Ya, who was constantly looking and chatting with Dima, who was by his side. Dima gently answered his questions, practically forgetting about the blue merman in his own arms. Furthermore, that merman was not noisy nor did he make a fuss. He only opened his glistening eyes wide and entertained himself by quietly looking around .

Sui Yuan was not very familiar with mechas. He listened to Ya and Dima's conversation while also letting 5237 provide him with the general knowledge pertaining to mechas it had found.

Upon entering the mecha standby area, Max received a notice. In the end, he took Ya away with him. Dima sighed a breath of relief and took the opportunity to lower his head and look at his own merman, heart full of remorse for having neglected him just before, "Is there anything you want to see? I'll take you."

Sui Yuan raised his head and saw Dima's tender and sincere look. He was a bit unused to being treated like this by anyone aside from that person. His eyes flashed. After thinking for a while, he softly said, "Can we go see your mecha?" mvBLfh

"Of course."

Seeing that Sui Yuan did not want to show any desire to cry, Dima immediately responded, carrying him to his own mecha. He watched with indulgence as Sui Yuan poked around the c.o.c.kpit curiously.

Dima was cla.s.sified as a civil servant. Although he was of a high rank, his mecha was only that of ordinary standard. On its own, it appeared big and powerful. However, when compared to the other mechas stored here, it became a dime a dozen. Fortunately, Sui Yuan was somewhat clueless. Seeing a mecha was already a very new experience for him, and did not make Dima lose face at all.

Dima's mecha had an empty tank and thus could not move. So, no matter what Sui Yuan did, he would not be able to get a reaction. Seeing Dima ignore his actions, Sui Yuan took the opportunity to get familiar with the mecha's operation under 5237's guidance. According to 5237, although he would not be able to use this ability in this world, he could not avoid having to "interact well" with mechas in future worlds. Thus, there was no harm in earnestly learning to the best of his ability—it would even be beneficial. 8gdO57

While Sui Yuan "played" with keen interest, Dima's communication device abruptly sounded. Dima appeased Sui Yuan for a moment, then connected the call. Unexpectedly, he learned that the merman of his family's boss had gotten into a mecha alone!

"How did he get in there?" Dima was very astonished.

"This I also don't really know." The soldier on the other end of the communication device felt extremely powerless and a bit nervous— after all, this could very well cause him to lose his job, "Lieutenant General Max had something to do, so he gave his merman a merman mobility car to conveniently get around. As for how he managed to evade security and enter the mecha, I have no idea……."

"He's seriously……" Dima choked. For a moment, he really did not know how to describe what he was feeling in his heart. "Then, why on earth are you notifying me? Tell Max right away!" nK2XaM
