Chapter 1231: Where is my salary?
After Six"s rampage, everyone on the Penguin Empire started to contemplate their mistake and the reason why they had lost against Daimidaler, but at the same time, they had to admit that Kasugano Haruka, who was the pilot of Daimidaler, was very gentle since that guy didn"t do anything too much against Six who had rampaged the city.
Even if they were an enemy, they had to admit that Kasugano Haruka was a gentleman and very cool, especially after they had seen the Daimidaler"s new technique.
The Daimidaler might be lame, but its technique was very cool!
Six returned to everyone after his appearance had returned to the Penguins. Before his appearance had become similar to a human after his body was infused with HI-ERO particles, but after he had lost, his appearance returned to how it was to be.
But that didn"t really matter anymore since they needed to discuss something else first.
"Just infusing a Penguin commando with the HI-ERO particles from Ritz wasn"t enough to defeat Daimidaler." The Penguin Emperor sighed and said, "Ritz is able to fight well, but it isn"t enough to achieve a complete victory.
Between the Antarctic series and Daimidaler, just what are we missing?"
"So true!"
"It was a copy of the Antarctic series to begin with."
The Penguin Emperor raised his brow and asked, "Copy? What do you mean?"
*!!!*
Then the Penguin commandos realized that he had talked too much and his face started to get pale, and the Penguin beside him, started to smooth out the conversation.
"Well, a long time ago, humans stole one of the Antarctic robots that we had accidentally left in town."
"Tehehehe..."
The Penguin commandos laughed innocently and felt a bit shy.
"What?!"
The Penguin Emperor was startled and he was in shock.
"Right, right. They stole the basic technology of Antarctic series and used it as a foundation for Daimidaler!"
"That makes it just a copycat."
"So true!"
The Penguin Emperor became gloomy when he heard this conversation. "Wait, this is the first time I"ve ever heard about this!"
"Oh! Shoot!"
"We were keeping this a secret since the Emperor would get mad."
"Haha... but isn"t it about time?"
"It was a long time ago and His Highness isn"t so small hearted to yell at us for something that"s already in history."
The Penguin Emperor tried to calm himself and said, "In any case! You"re telling me that the Daimidaler was built using our technology, right?"
"Yes, yes!"
Penguin Emperor relaxed his body on the throne and said, "All human weapons were originally armored vehicles or planes, so it was strange that a giant robot like that suddenly appeared."
The Penguin commandos were happy when the Penguin Emperor didn"t seem to get angry at them.
"Sweet! He"s not gonna scold us!"
"Looks like it went well."
Penguin Emperor ignored two naughty Penguins and asked, "So why is it the original Antarctic series, built proudly by our empire, cannot defeat Daimidaler?" He stood up and looked at his trusted attendees.
"All right! Henry! Michael! Research Daimidaler to the last detail and report back to me!"
"Yes, sir!" 2x
Henry and Michael kneeled down in front of Penguin Emperor, telling him that they would do his task perfectly.
"And also...."
"Hmm?" 2x
Henry and Michael were stunned when they saw Penguin Emperor"s expression.
The Penguin Emperor was furious at this moment and said, "No meals for you two until you turn in that report! Understand?!"
"c.r.a.p! He"s super angry!" 2x
In the hangar inside the headquarters of Beauty Salon PRINCE, Professor Three maintained the Daimidaler, which was damaged from the last battle.
The Daimidaler might have escaped from the attack of Six, but because of the amount of HI-ERO particles which were injected into the Daimidaler was too much, it caused a lot of damage to the machine.
"Ahh...! Here it comes! Active gear! They"ve gone crazy!" Sewashiko m.o.a.ned loudly.
Soriko who had a thin face became embarra.s.sed easily and said, "Professor Sewashiko, don"t m.o.a.n like that!"
"Jeez! This is too much damage! The repair can"t keep up with the damage at this rate!" Sewashiko complained to Haru.
"Don"t complain to me. Complain to the Penguins," Haru said.
Sewashiko couldn"t complain at this moment since she knew Haru"s last opponent was very strong.
"Haruka-kun"s HI-ERO particle levels are just incredibly high," Moriko said with a seductive smile.
"He has put so much strain on the frame that it"s on its limit!" Sewashiko said.
"In other words, it"s proof of how perverted Kasugano Haruka is!" Kazuo said with a stern expression.
"..."
Haru was speechless and said, "Administrator, I don"t think that is praise."
"Of course, it is praise! You should be more proud of how perverted you are!" Kazuo reprimanded Haru.
"....Can you shut up a bit? If you can praise me that much, how about you pay my salary first?" Haru asked. His mouth twitched since he didn"t think that being perverted was something that he should be proud about.
"......"
Kazuo shut his mouth at this moment.
Sewashiko, Soriko, and Moriko stared at Haru at this moment and wouldn"t think that this handsome young man who could steal anyone"s heart was in truth a perverted boy.
Haru ignored their gaze and stared at the Daimidaler. He had to admit that this robot was very old and knew after his last battle, the stress on the body of the robot was too much and it might break sooner or later. He sighed when he thought about the financial condition of this organization and wondered whether he should stop becoming Daimidaler"s pilot since most of his quests had been completed.
The only quests that he hadn"t completed was to defeat "Super Sound" which he didn"t know when it was going to appear and to find out the purpose of Penguin Empire.
Haru was confused by Penguin Empire"s action and wondered why they had become a human threat when they were idiots.
"But you don"t need to worry about Haruka-kun since a new robot is being developed right now," Moriko suddenly said.
"Oh? A new robot?" Haru was surprised and thought that the money on this organization was mostly used to develop this new robot.
"That"s why you need to work hard to defeat those d.a.m.nable Penguins, alright?" Kazuo said while ma.s.saging Haru"s shoulders.
"After the new robot is complete, our financial situation is going to be good. I can give you a salary after that."
Haru stared at Kazuo and told him that he couldn"t be fooled easily. "How about we sign a contract? Just a promise isn"t enough."
Kazuo then laughed and said that he remembered something then ran away.
Shaking his head, Haru was surprised that this organization could work normally.
"Haru! Let"s go back."
Kyouko walked toward him with a gentle smile.
"Alright, let"s go back."
"Eh? Are you two going back together?" Sewashiko asked and smelled gossip between the two of them.
"It is already evening after all. It is dangerous for an attractive woman like Kyouko to walk back home alone. I"ll take her home," Haru said. He ignored their gaze and said, "Let"s go back."
"Umm..." Kyouko nodded with a blush. She looked at Professors Three and said goodbye to them before walking alongside Haru to walk back home.
Professors Three looked at Kyouko and Haru, and they were wondering whether Kyouko had been eaten by Haru or not.
Considering his demanour, they didn"t think that it would be weird, if someday, they would be eaten by Haru too in the future which made them blush at the same time.
