150: Mecha? Toy?

“Hmm…” The director nodded. To be honest, he was a bit surprised that Clarissa was so easy to talk to, especially after he learned that Clarissa possessed space weapons. It seemed Clarissa’s civilization was already at a terrifying level where space weapons were ‘standard issue’.

No matter what, Clarissa held such a weapon in her hand, and the director was a bit nervous talking to her.

He was afraid that Clarissa was just ‘pretending’ now, or that her temperament was erratic and changeable, and that she might lash out the next second… or that he might do something wrong and anger Clarissa.

“Alright then, in light of your help to us! If you have any needs, you can bring them up, and we will do our best to satisfy you!” The director said to Clarissa, “And we will also transfer one million Alliance Coins into your account! You can use them as you wish!”

“Oh, really! Thank you!” Clarissa’s eyes lit up when she heard there was more money. Although she wasn’t particularly interested in money, on someone else’s territory, the more of this currency she had, the better. After all, in a sense, currency equals resources, and controlling resources also means controlling corresponding discourse power. Of course, Clarissa also had military strength to back her up, but this strength would not be used until the last moment.

“I want that big, fire-breathing person!” Allie said.

“Huh? What?” The director was stunned. He also highly valued the little girl beside Clarissa. Although their current identities appeared to be sisters, what if it was a disguise? What if this girl was actually a ‘princess’ and the older one was a guard?

Such things were possible. Of course, putting everything else aside, simply for Clarissa’s sake, this little girl was also someone they needed to befriend.

“A big… fire-breathing person?” Clarissa was also confused by Allie’s words.

“It’s that one! That one! Whoosh!” Allie gestured the pose of a mecha extending an energy blade: “And then ~biubiubiu~”

Then she made a gesture of fire spraying from the back.

“The whoosh-whoosh-whoosh one~” Allie then gestured the scene of a mecha launching missiles.

“Oh! You mean the mecha, right?” Clarissa suddenly understood.

“Mecha!” The director also suddenly understood, but when he thought of Allie asking him for a mecha, his mouth twitched.

“Yes, yes, yes! Is that called a mecha? The name sounds cool! I want that! I want one of those! It looks like a lot of fun!” Allie quickly nodded and said.

When Allie was on the battlefield, she had taken a liking to it, feeling it was too cool! She also wanted such a toy! Although it wouldn’t be of much help in combat, it would be great to take it back and play with it!

Although the mecha’s power was much stronger than hers currently, Allie could tell that in a true head-on, one-on-one combat, a mecha might not be able to defeat her.

After all, no matter how flexible a mecha was, it was still a mecha, far less flexible than a person.

Moreover, the use of various equipment and weapons was naturally not as strong as Allie, who practiced swordsmanship. Furthermore, mechas were technology, and Allie was ‘metaphysics’.

The power of calamity and death involved rules, and it had a natural mysterious bonus against this kind of physical ‘technology’.

That’s why Allie wanted such a ‘toy’ to play with. Besides, how could she go on a trip without even a souvenir!

“Well, uh…” The director was a bit hesitant. Mechas were strategic materials; he couldn’t just give them away. They were different from Alliance Coins. At least in this regard, putting aside the application issue, the Security Bureau’s own ‘funds’ were very sufficient, with annual appropriations that were never fully spent and accumulated over time.

Of course, this was on the public account and could not be ‘embezzled’.

“Alright, Allie, don’t make the director uncomfortable! That’s not a toy, it’s a weapon!” Clarissa saw the director’s difficulty. Of course, she also knew that a mecha was clearly not a toy, as they were used on the battlefield, and it was evident that they played a very significant role for the people of this world in combat.

How could such an item be given away so casually?

“Ah~ Okay!” Allie nodded regretfully, looking at Clarissa and saying, “I just wanted a souvenir, since we’re traveling~”

“It’s alright! No worries!” Clarissa smiled and then ruffled Allie’s head. Allie also smiled and no longer cared about the matter.

Clearly, was Allie really set on having that mecha? It seemed not.

“Um, I’m sorry, Director, we won’t trouble you with this matter! If there’s nothing else, we’ll continue to explore the city.” Clarissa said to the director.

“Ah~ Wait a moment! This matter isn’t entirely out of the question!” The director gritted his teeth. The strength of their civilization was clearly far, far greater than that of Blue Star civilization! The other party didn’t even care for their mechas. What’s more, perhaps his own mechas really were just ‘toy-level’ as others said?

The director repeatedly thought about the recording of Clarissa’s performance on the battlefield.

Too terrifying!

Was the strength of everyone in that civilization similar to Clarissa’s? Or was she one of the few? The director knew nothing about Clarissa’s world, unaware of how terrifying that civilization truly was.

“Hmm? Does the director mean?” Clarissa heard the director’s words, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes. The other party’s meaning… it seemed there was still hope for this matter to succeed?

“Well, I won’t disturb your sightseeing for now! You two go on and enjoy yourselves, I’ll report this matter and apply for it!” The director gritted his teeth and said to Clarissa.

“Ah! Is that so? Then I’ll trouble you!” Clarissa listened, looked at the director with some surprise, then smiled and nodded in agreement.

It seemed this matter might actually succeed!

Interesting, she hadn’t expected this matter to actually have a chance of success? Clarissa also hadn’t thought that the other party might even give them their ‘core weapon’…

Hiss! They wouldn’t have some ulterior motive, would they? Giving such a big benefit… is the other party plotting something? Although Clarissa didn’t judge people with malice, it’s better safe than sorry. One should never harbor ill intentions, but one must always be on guard.

Clarissa was a bit suspicious of the other party’s such ‘attentive’ actions.

It might also be because she had displayed her ‘military strength’.

Forget it, don’t worry too much. Clarissa was bold due to her superior skills; with powerful strength backing her, she wasn’t too worried about any problems.

And if necessary, she could ‘leave’ this world at any time.
