Johan:.....what?
Noah: what?
Harran: i see…
Isabel: fufu, how are you feeling darling?
Varakiel 2: i am very comfortable, thank you isabel.
Varakiel 1: yeahhhh, right now there's no time to explain things, that's our target isn't?
Varakiel points at a giant cannon.
Johan: Yes.
Varakiel: And what is that exactly?
Johan: an anti-craft gun used during the second surface reclamation campaign. It was made in the ark, disassembled, and then transported up to the surface. It took two months just to put this behemoth back together again. I don't know why you're so intent on taking down mother whale, and I don't care but I will tell you that in order to make that happen, you'll need this.
Anis: sounds like it's kinda old….does that thing even work properly, new hope?
Johan:....
Anis:...erm…I mean, johan.
Johan: No. it needs to be fixed.
Neon: Hmm….we don't have anyone here with those kinds of skills. Do we need to call mighty tools?
Johan: We'll fix it ourselves.
Varakiel: And how, exactly?
Johan: First, let's clear ourselves a path.
Raptures were approaching them.
Varakiel: *nod* counters.
Rapi: Roger!
…..
Then they arrive at the anti-air craft cannon.
Johan: Let's get started.
Varakiel: You know how to fix it?
Johan: I do, but I won't be the one fixing it. You will.
Varakiel: oh, alright.
Johan: I'll guide you along. But you'll be doing the heavy lifting.
Varakiel: sure.
Rapi: we-
Varakiel: Nope, don't worry, i got this *smile*~.
Rapi:....*smile* *nod* understood.
Johan: yes. All nikkes stand down.
Anis: you're actually agreeing with this commander?
*catch*
Johan throws a wrench to varakiel, and he catches it.
Varakiel: hm? What is this?
Johan:...you have to be kidding me. You don't know what a wretch is?
Varakiel: I do but...why?
Johan:....
Harran:....
Rapi:...
Anis: *chuckle*
Neon: *chuckle*
Varakiel 2: hahaha.
Isabel:.....
Noah:.....
Varakiel: if i am the one repairing it, we'll do it my way, *cof*
Varakiel then stands in front of the cannon and magic power fills his hands.
Then with a hand gesture the whole cannon floats up and disassembles.
Johan: !!
Anis: wow, magic really can do anything.
Neon: yeah, the three of us are still far away from master level.
Rapi: Indeed.
Varakiel: heheh, alright, cover me while I finish.
Rapi: leave it to us.
Anis: roger.
Neon: not even a speck of dust will disturb you master *smile*.
….
Johan:...*sigh* fine, questions will be for later, there, that tube needs some grease.
Varakiel: *nod*...
Johan: Too much oil. Wipe off the oil.
Varakiel: *nod*
Johan: oil helps with lubrication, but too much of it and the parts will spin out of place.
Varakiel: got it.
Johan: Now, press hard and hold that part down until you hear a click. Not too hard though, because that….
*click*
Varakiel: don't worry, I know a bit of machinery here and there.
Johan: good, next….
….
Then the cannon is assembled back and is shining with luster.
Johan: It just took 1 hour, unbelievable.
Varakiel: pretty awesome don't you think?
Johan: hmm….let's do it again
Anis: what? why?
Johan: experience.
Anis: *sighhhhhhh*
….
Anis: This is killing me! I hate standing guard doing nothing.
Neon:.....
Anis: why aren't you saying anything?
Neon:....
Anis: hey, neon. You okay?
Neon: zzz…
Varakiel: 2: *sigh* hey neon, wake up.
Anis: wonderful, when do you think that mother whale would show up!?
Rapi: hard to say.
Anis: Uuuuuugh, i'm so boooored.
Harran: Come on. Stop acting like a child.
Anis: Hey, I know boring. And THIS is grade-A certified boring.
Varakiel 2: would you have preferred for laplace, drake or maxwell to take your place?
Anis:...fine, just because staying on guard on the outpost is Grade-SSS boring.
Harran: What do those two remind you?
Anis: hmm…..an overbearing pair of brothers.
Harran: haha! Is that really what you see? To me, they look like two people who are excited to meet a colleague, but one of them is unsure how to process their feelings about it. While the other is waiting for him to open up.
Anis: yep, the commander is too easy going.
