Chapter 746 - Stella

They went outside the Cubicar, where Stella opened the big storage for Maya's armor.

The armor consisted of boots that reached as far as one's thigh. The boots seemed to contain many things as they looked so thick and heavy. Theo could even find a few holes where bullets could be released.

The hands were similar. It reached the upper arms but wasn't connected to the shoulders. The hand was a bit thinner than the boots, and there were no robotic fingers, meaning Maya would directly touch her own weapon.

As for the headgear, it wasn't a helmet. It was a circle with glasses in front of it. From one glance, this one should be attached to the head that allowed Maya to see the data through the glasses.

There was one lumbar support, connecting all these pieces, but it was only from the back. There was nothing on the front side.

"This is her armor. Well, this is in the sleep mode. If it's in the fight mode, all these thick parts are going to retract inside. It's nanotechnology like the one we use in the weapon.

"Well, we can't really keep them inside for too long because the material inside is compressed to the very limit. So, this is just to give some air and keep them cool."

"I see." Theo nodded with a serious expression.

"This thing couldn't be used in the Grand Gaia, which is a shame."

"Haha, she would dominate the entire competition."

"Well, this is also her ability, considering she earns this herself." Stella shrugged.

"I'm a bit curious. This should be heavy, right? And why can't you make them connected to each other like full body armor."

"Nope. Maya had tested it herself. It put too much restriction on the movement. In the past, when we first discovered the other side, humanity lost due to their inability to keep up with the monsters' speed as their reaction time was not enough.

"We could obliterate them with nuclear power, but it would devastate the entire place. A country once used a nuclear weapon and got the attention of three World Class Monsters that sent it back to this side. But this is not relevant.

"Anyway, what we needed to cope with that situation was a tool that could move swiftly while having enough firepower to suppress the enemy. So, Maya made this.

"Instead of the connection, she bears the weight of her equipment herself and uses her own limbs to become that very connection. It's hard to move at first, but once you get used to it, you should be able to fight with it.

"She has taken out all the unnecessary parts and turned it like this. Well, it's not like she's going to use this thing easily because the Magic Power and ammunition consumption are quite high.

"The only time she uses this armor will probably be when she's fighting with her life on the line," Stella explained with a nonchalant expression.

"I see." Theo nodded in understanding. "I've learned a lot. Thank you."

"By the way, can you drive the Cubicar?"

"No," Theo answered without hesitation and glanced at Agata.

"I do. I learned it when I was with the Church," Agata answered with a calm expression.

"Since there are still two days before you go, do you want me to teach you how to drive this thing?"

"Is there any license to drive it?"

"On the road? Yes. On the other side, who is going to maintain that rule anyway." She shrugged.

"I see. In that case, please." Theo agreed. "I mean, my clone can drive the Cubicar later, so that's a good way to rest."

"Hmm… That's a good idea." Stella thought for a moment. "Alright. Let's teach you how to drive this Cubicar. After that, I'm going to pack up Maya's stuff here and prepare other stuff."

"You're the one doing the preparation?" Theo widened his eyes, surprised.

"Yes. Who will do it if it's not me?" Stella tilted her head in confusion. "Well, there's a servant, but I don't trust them that much since there is a lot of expensive stuff here.

"Bernard is in his company while Maya is finishing all the jobs for the next three months. She's too busy to do stuff like this. So, I'm the only one who can do it."

"Well, I'm surprised. Aren't you a Mythical Rank Expert? And it doesn't seem like Sir Bernard or Maya has time at home." Theo explained his doubt.

"Oh. That's easy. I'm not managing the business, so I can do some chores. Other than that, I use that time to train myself. So, I'm also busy.

"As for the time we spend together… You can say we have our own household rules that force us to be together, whether to eat, relax, or whatever. That is enough to maintain the household.

"It's not like I'm going to leave Bernard just for the sake of alimony. So, yeah… This way, we're running the family. I can say we're quite harmonious. Though, I can simply crash to their company if they can't even spend time with family until they're stressed enough to go home.

"It's not like they have the power to fight me since I'm stronger." Stella smirked. She didn't mind explaining this to Theo for two reasons. She had indirectly said earlier that Theo was one of the candidates for Maya's husband, though it was only a one-sided argument.

As for the other reason, she pitied his family situation a bit. So, she just wanted to tell him that not all families were bad. It depended on who maintained it.

"I see. Please teach me how to drive a Cubicar." Theo bowed his head slightly.

"Sure." Stella smiled.

After that, they went back to the Cubicar as Stella started teaching him how to drive. At the same time, Agata observed them, making sure she knew the function.

Two days went by so quickly.

Finally, the day of the departure had arrived.

Theo and Agata were standing next to Maya, whose face looked tired after all that work.

Stella and Bernard spent some time until they left the mansion.
