Almekia Kingdom
83. Opal - Technical

At noon I asked Platina to return to the tournament hall. After we were satisfied to go around the city, buy all the spare parts gear needed for Fenrir, and fill our stomachs until full.

After being released from captivity we no longer want to feel the name of hunger and thirst. We have the money we brought from the palace. Do what else? Spend it instead of living hard.

Platina and I walked together and joined hands like a lovie dovie in a kasmaran. Walk up to the gear hangar where Fenrir is parked. I found Zircon already in the tournament's gear hangar.

I approached and called him, "Hi Zirc, congratulations." Sapaku patted lightly on Zircon's back, which was busy fiddling with a computer screen showing his gear statistics.

"Congratulations to what?" he was astonished to see me patting his back.

"Welcome to have made it to the final round, and to have a new lover" I replied with a wink, teasing her a little.

"Huh? A lover? how do you know?" Zircon was shocked to hear my temptation to him.

I also became surprised to find Zircon's slightly excessive reaction. My best friend looked wrong with her face red. Why her? Can she be that shy for Simone?

"Of course we know. The whole town knows too. Because he expressed his love for you in the middle of the hahahha tournament." This time it was Platina who answered Zircon's question.

The girl laughed amusedly considering Zircon's last match. A very entertaining match.

"I can't hurt someone as handsome as Mr. Zircon hahahha." I also laughed not strong enough to imagine the various expressions of Simone's love for Zircon yesterday. A statement of love that is either real or just joking. But both are still horrible to talk about.

"Damn it! Don't talk about that jerk again!" Gutted Zircon in a very annoyed tone.

So he regretted it with Simone's behavior? Then for a moment I caught his bashful reaction to whom? Is there another lover? Wow this is interesting...Did Zircon find a girl capable of stealing his heart in this Bloody Hell city?

"Are there not other lovers?" I was curious to try to investigate.

"Stop it!" Zircon's face reverberated red this time. It's weird, something must be wrong.

"A girl or maybe not a man anymore?" I'm pressing him more.

"Fvck off!" Um Zircon is angry with me.

"If you're this angry means there really is a girl like her. Mercifully...You finally found someone to anchor your heart to." I express happiness that Zircon may finally find a new patch of his heart. No longer stuck his one-sided love for Amethys.

"Waaah congratulations Brother Zircon, good luck and success of your relationship." Platinum offered his congratulations innocently.

"You two are noisy!" Zircon snorted annoyedly.

"I called you here to help my manteinance gear. Not to joke and tease me like this, Opal!" This time Zircon put emphasis on his tone as a sign he did not want to discuss the issue any further.

"Hufts. At least you should thank me. You get a free technician who's even willing to shop for your own gear repairs." I snorted resignedly not continuing to tease him.

I'm approaching Fenrir. I looked at the statistics and graphs about the blue gear displayed by the computer screen that had been connected to Fenrir.

"No significant damage. Just need to replace some broken spare parts," I replied after observing the screen along with the statistics.

"You can change the attack mode?"

Usually Zircon and Diamond are the most anti to use auto pilot mode when fighting. The two of them were the type of true fighters who liked to fight all out following instinct.

"Not really. Just in case. Can it be combined? So for example the enemy did an attack that I did not realize but Fenrir with all his sensors must be more aware of it, so that it can help me avoid the attack" Zircon explained his intentions.

"Hmmm. Then let's just upgrade the external sensor. You can also use your autopilot gear to focus on defense so you can focus on attacking." I'm offering you a solution to Zircon's request.

"Can. Because it would be difficult to think of attack and defense at once." Zircon agreed to the proposal I put forward.

"But the autopilot will drain a lot of your gear fuels. You have to fight in a fast tempo. Well even though there is no binding time limit like the case of Diamond si.."lOr just use the auto pilot mode at an urgent time only?" I keep in mind all the possibilities that can be done in autopilot mode settings.

"That's better," Zircon agreed to my suggestion.

"What weapons do you think I should use later? and Jade will use what weapon against me?" he continued asking me.

"Sheets and swords." Platina suddenly interjected between our conversations.

"really. Jade will definitely wear a rifle and a sword as well. Same with my gun." I agree with Platina this time.

"The man is too arrogant. He preferred to fight with the exact same weapon as his enemy. Like the fight with Diamond yesterday. He carries the exact same set of weapons that Diamond carried." I put forward my analysis based on Jade's nature.

"Hmmm not bad, he wants a fair fight" Zircon said.

"Zirc, don't think too much about playing fair in this tournament. You have to take advantage of all the opportunities and opportunities you have to win. Let's just say you're at war, if you're off guard Jade won't hesitate to kill you" I reminded Zircon of how dangerous Jade was from her violent match against Jasper and Diamond.

"You're right. Anyway I should be able to defeat Jade this time" Zircon agreed.

"You remember? Jade's gear was severely damaged due to Diamond's attack on her left arm. You can take advantage of that situation. Within a day it is impossible to repair the damage. Think of this as an opportunity that Diamond has given you." I gave my best friend a few tips.

"Right as well," Zircon replied a little unhappy with my suggestion this time. Maybe he found it a little unfair to target Jade's weakness so.

"But even after successfully winning the tournament you will definitely get in trouble again...Ruby..how did you handle that selfish girl? Are you going to agree to marry her?"

I can imagine if Zircon won the game and won the tournament this year. What's he gonna do? Is he going to marry Ruby? Does Zircon know what Ruby looks like? the selfish girl who was also just as cruel and ruthless as her sister Jade.

"We'll see..." Zircon smiled wryly. But then turning his face away from me, I could see his earlobes meet reddish. I don't want to be surprised to see it.

What's the matter? Is he ashamed? Does Zircon like Ruby? what other lover did she mean just now was Ruby? I'm getting curious and guessing all the possibilities that are going on between Zircon and Ruby.

But as hard as I thought. Or try to connect all chains peristirlwa. I couldn't find a link, couldn't imagine how their love story could be intertwined.

Zircon then climbed up his gear and entered his cocpid. It seems that he no longer wants to continue this unimportant conversation. He was more interested in starting his mantainance gear process.

I too, according to him, immediately I tinker with the computer connected to the gear. I did maintenance and changed the blue gear slightly to semi-autopilot as desired by Zircon. Arrange and arrange also combos for combat against the enemy with guns and swords.
