After listening to the series of reasons, the sane old man under the black robe shook his head:

"...So. You plan to let this person who has neither identity nor memory...become a mercenary?"

"This is also... there is no way. For a black household like him... it is very difficult to survive in this kind of place. Since you don't know whether you can live in this world when you wake up tomorrow, it's better to put It’s better to hold the right to life firmly in your own hands.”

Having said that, Aiji shrugged even more.

"...Hey. Think about it, mother-in-law. If the world were so 'choice', I wouldn't be in this job, would I?"

"Your mouth is still as good as it used to be... whatever."

The wise old man sighed.

Whether she was tired of repeated corrections or simply not aware of it, she didn't criticize the word "mother-in-law" that came out of Aggie's mouth again.

"Little ghost. Are you really—are you planning to continue working in this industry? The ugly words first, if you are a mercenary, the 'karma' you have to bear...is definitely not too light?"

As for the branch of [Yes] or [No] that appeared on the screen, Yu Xiao naturally chose the former.

So his character, also nodded slowly but firmly.

"Yes.... And. For me now, I have never tried to carry anything... So, if I don't try, how will I know whether it is heavy or light for me?"

And said so in a calm tone.

"—Oh. It's an interesting response. . . . Okay, brat. I'll check you in now."

There was some surprise in the wise old man's tone.And then, after thinking for a moment, she even said:

"...Come with me to the hangar. Just treat it as my help--choose one you like from the products here. After all, if you want to roll around in the mercenary world, there is no A machine that belongs to itself, but it is difficult to move an inch."

Chapter 140 Graze Adler

This proposal sounded so generous that it was outrageous, but it was not Yu Xiao who was shocked first.

"Shhhh-what!"

It was Aiji who had been watching the situation from the beginning.

With a voice trembling from astonishment, he slowly raised his hand and pointed at the two people who were talking in front of him.

"How come...that petty mother-in-law, actually...!...Is it possible that you have taken a fancy to my little brother's face, and plan...to show kindness first, and then take this opportunity to accept him as your face in the future First?!"

"...It's a blessing that your imagination can take such a leap, Edge."

Although he couldn't see it, the sane old man obviously rolled his eyes.

"However, do I seem to be a person who would do such a thing?... Besides, I haven't finished my words yet. Of course, it is impossible to give it to you for free—as the price, I will take the reward from the mission you accept , each time an additional commission is drawn. Until the amount reaches 80.00% of the theoretical selling price of this machine..."

Having said that, the sane old man paused.

"And. In order to determine whether you have the 'qualification' worthy of this determination - tomorrow. I will find two people to conduct a simulated battle with you. You are not required to win, just let me see Your performance is fine. . . . okay?"

As for the extra requirements, Yu Xiao didn't comment.

He just chose the answer option of [thank you].

"...I see. Thank you for your kindness, Sansei."

Rather, Yu Xiao was relieved that the other party didn't show too much care about it.

After all, this is how people communicate sometimes.

It is often impossible to judge the purity of the motives of seemingly enthusiastic good intentions; on the contrary, the straight-forward emphasis on the relationship of interests will make people more trustworthy.

"...two people?"

——However, Aiji frowned, with a little hesitation in his expression.

Then he opened his mouth as he thought about something:

"Hello. Mother...cough. Sensible old man. What you said, could it be...?"

"Hmm. It's the two you think."

To this, the wise old man nodded.This made Aggie's expression twist as if he had a stomach bug.

"Really...?! If the opponents in the first mock battle are those two, it will leave a psychological shadow...!"

"—That's why I called those two people here. The two of them, even if it's a simulated battle, can create the atmosphere of a real battlefield."

"But, what about the number of people? He has been alone so far..."

"What are you talking about. Aren't you still here?"

"--Varied?!"

"After all. I can't pretend I didn't hear the phrase 'little family-minded mother-in-law' just now. If you refuse, you will be blacklisted here for this reason, that's it—"

After ending the chat with Ai Ji with a light but malicious sentence, the wise old man turned to Yu Xiao's direction.

"...Then, come with me, brat. The hangar is not far from here, and it won't take much time."

After choosing the [Yes] option, the character Yu Xiao manipulated nodded, and followed the man in black to the depths of the agency.

——Most of the ones displayed in this hangar are standard mobile suits.

In addition to the Chinier that Aiji also owns, the stupid Leo, the quaint human leather joint "proboscis" and "legal style", and the first variable MS and USN of human beings in this time and space. "Training type" and its tank modification for land combat——

All kinds of old mass-produced mobile suits from the three major countries in this world are almost all on the list.

Besides these MS, other types of bodies can also attract Yu Xiao's attention.

For example, the small body in the corner crawling on the ground, short and fat like a frog.

It was an AS (Arm Slave/Master-Slave Follower Mech System) - Rk-92, "Barbarian".

It seems that there are also elements from "Full Metal Panic" in this world?

Although a little surprised, Yu Xiao didn't have any other reactions.

After all, he has been driving all kinds of mobile suits to kill bugs for so long.He also played the statuette, and fought side by side with Tactical Machine and Favna... I'm afraid it's no surprise to him if there are any other works.

...In short, in this hangar, mass-produced machines from various works are placed side by side.

For guys who like robots, this is probably a piece of heaven.

If one day I can leave Penglai Island and go out, I really want to see it with my own eyes—and Yu Xiao is a little lost in thought.

But then he returned his gaze to the reality on the screen.

After constantly turning the camera, Yu Xiao finally locked on to his target, walked to his side, and pressed the [Confirm Selection] button provided by the system.

"What? Has it been decided yet?..."

The sane old man came over and looked at the machine in front of him side by side with Yu Xiao.

——It was displayed in the deepest part of the hangar, a large mobile suit with a height of about 20 meters, a blue-and-white painting and a sharp-edged shape.

Yu Xiao remembered that the machine was named "Adler".It means "vulture" in German.

Or to be more specific - "Grize Adler".

As a rumor of "Iron-Blooded Orphans", the debut machine in "Moon Steel", this machine is based on Graze's skeleton, armed only with a gun, a sword and a shield with fighting claws...

In the original work, there is actually no outstanding performance.

But outside the play, its experience is commendable.

——Because at the very beginning, it was not made by any regular mechanic.

It is the winning work from folk enthusiasts in the official model transformation contest.

Maybe it's the popularity, maybe it's the task above—in short, this Adler was able to become a regular in the end, and became one of the "real" MS in the world view of Gundam Iron Blood.

However, the reason why Yu Xiao chose this machine is actually more because of the simple consideration of performance.

After all, in the previous battle, he had fought against the Graze troops.

I also know that this machine belongs to the active service machine of EU.

Compared with other mobile phones that have been retired because of their old models, the performance of the new body is undoubtedly more reassuring and trustworthy.

In other words... he was once a so-called strength party.

"Mmm. You have unexpectedly sharp eyesight, young man."

As for Yu Xiao's choice, the sane old man was obviously a little surprised.

The title has also changed from "little ghost" to "young man" at the beginning.Maybe it's identification on some level?

[In other words, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, change the source app and install the latest version. 】

"...This machine. 'Adler'. It was remodeled on the basis of the EU's new mobile suit, 'Graze', which was recovered recently. While improving its performance, it was designed to avoid being discovered by the EU's garrison troops. Unnecessary disputes, from the outer armor to the height, it has been modified to make it very different from the prototype..."

And when it comes to his treasured MS, this so-called sane old man, like an ordinary old man, chattered endlessly about his past experiences.

"...Ah. Forgetting you is losing your memory... so I probably can't understand it."

Until she remembered this crucial piece of information.

"It's nothing. After all, it's not bad for me to know more about my future partner."

In this regard, Yu Xiao only manipulated the character's frank response.

"...Are you relieved? Unfortunately, this machine needs to be adjusted before it can be activated. Let's use it before the simulated battle tomorrow morning....As for now, I'm going to sleep first. .”

"Understood. Good night. Then...thank you again, Sansei."

And yawned sleepily—after all, it was because of age—the old man turned around.

"...Really. It's been a long time since I saw such a young man. Don't let me be too disappointed..."

It's just that before she left, she whispered another word in a low voice.

Chapter 140 IX Sea Moving Sword, Really Shang Liao

"I understand. Then I will leave first."

After choosing to bid farewell to the sane old man who was leaving, Yu Xiao manipulated the character and walked out the door.

He saw that Aiji was still wandering around the agency, and from time to time, his movements revealed that he was boringly kicking away the obstructing gravel at his feet——

It looked like he was waiting for himself.Probably still worry about it.

"Eggie."

And after walking over and selecting the dialogue option.His role is first and foremost to greet.

"You came out... That mother-in-law, she shouldn't have made things difficult for you, right?"

"Don't worry, Brother Aji. That kind of thing is gone."

After this short conversation, there were several more choices in front of Yu Xiao:

They are the four options of [Temporarily Farewell] [Ask him about the "sane old man"] [Ask him about yourself] and [Ask him about tomorrow's simulated opponent].

After thinking for a while, Yu Xiao chose the last option.

"Speaking of it. The wise old man made a request to me. The opponent who wants to conduct a simulated battle with me... Brother Aiji, is it someone you know?"

After all, he was really curious about what kind of person could make this foolish man in front of him care so much.

"Yes. It is indeed someone I know." Aiji paused, "...Although there is some karma. But if possible, I would like to erase that experience..."

"That's right. What kind of person is it...?"

"Those two people—'Reaper', 'Plague God', and 'Guide to Hell'. The mercenary industry seems to give them nicknames like this. Although I think they are still a group of good people in essence. But , character is really a bit lacking...Even I don’t want to cooperate with them for the second time.”

"In short. Specifically...you'll understand it only after you see it. Rather, you'll understand it only after you see it."

"...Is that so?"

Yu Xiao's character nodded.

"Having said that - if there is going to be a rehearsal tomorrow morning, you will probably gather here. As for your rest tonight... that's it. You go to a place about a block away from here, find the hotel on the corner, and report to Aggie. The name of Santa Claus is fine. Don't look at me like this, I'm a bit of a novice in this place...see you later."

After arranging Yu Xiao's place to stay tonight, Aiji boarded his car and left.

...The other party's answer is probably very detailed for a person with "amnesia".Yu Xiao resumed.

It's just that it's not enough for him.

After all, the characters in this world are very likely to have appeared in a certain machine combat animation——
