Chapter 1134: New Gun
âMaster. Why donât you get some sleep? Are you not tired yet? Do you want me to tire you out?â Mae asked while sitting on the edge of the bed. âYou have been working on it the entire timeâŠâ
Nathan was sitting on the floor while disassembling his pistol. Mae was confused because if he had ended up breaking it, there was no way to fix it.
At the same time, Nathan rarely used his weapon. Although it was true that his weapon would release an even stronger bullet, his fighting style relied on his flexibility. And summoning the worlds and controlling directly was much more flexible than using his gun.
Still, ever since they set sail from the North Pole, Nathan had been doing something with his weapon as though he wanted to achieve something beyond her knowledge.
âItâs fine. You can get some sleep first.â Nathan waved his hand.
Mae looked down. Since Nathan didnât plan to get any rest, Mae decided to start a discussion. âBy the way, if itâs not too much to ask, what do you think of me now, Master?â
âHmm?â Nathan hummed as though he had heard her but was still too focused on his things to be able to think of an answer.
So, Mae explained it further. âI am talking about me being a fragment. Does it disappoint you? I am not real after allâŠâ
Nathan abruptly stopped and turned his head.
âI am not real. Even when I accompany you like this, Iâm nothing but a fragment of my existence. I have diedâŠâ Mae lowered her head, unable to look at him. She had been his companion ever since she was summoned to this world, so it must be disappointing to know that she didnât truly exist.
Nathan chuckled. âI donât know what youâre worried about.â
â!!!â Mae widened her eyes in surprise. Nathan should be smart enough to understand her words.
Before she could explain it further, Nathan added, âFragment of existence, huh? That might be true, but you definitely exist. Even Lilith remembers everything that happened in this world 500 years ago.
âWhy would you care about such a superficial thing? You exist, and I am here. Thatâs all that matters.
âI couldnât care less who you are or what you are. You are my family. That is enough for me.â Nathan smiled. âThatâs why you donât have to worry. You are Mae, my waifu.â
âMasterâŠâ Maeâs tense expression melted. âBut your habit kicked in again. Please say âwifeâ instead of âwaifu.ââ
âOhâŠâ Nathan looked away. âBad habit.â
Mae smiled. It looked like she had worried for nothing. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was swept away by Nathanâs excitement as he suddenly finished.
âIâm done!â Nathan grinned as he stood up.
âDone? What are you doing, Master?â
âI have been thinking about how to improve my gun further. A normal gun is too primitive. If I want to fight against those beings, I have to grow my guns further.â Nathan smirked. âThis is just the first step. Let me demonstrate it.â
Mae just watched him with a smile. She was never bored with whatever Nathan was doing. And this time, he would bring another surprising thing.
However, someone suddenly knocked on the door. As a fox, her ears could easily figure out who was outside, but Mae originally thought this person was simply going to her room, not his room.
âNathan. Are you inside?â
âEvelyn? Do you need anything? Come in. The door is not locked.â
That was right. The person coming to his room was actually Evelyn.
Evelyn was confused, especially with the mess on Nathanâs table. âAm I interrupting something?â
âNot at all. I just finished setting up the foundation for my new gun. Want to see?â Nathan grinned.
âOh?â Evelyn nodded. Ever since she showed an interest in Nathan, she had been very active in accompanying him. Nathan had brought a lot of unique things, so she couldnât help but feel curious about the new guns.
âLook at this.â Nathan extended two fingers on his right hand and lifted up the arm. Suddenly, the gun parts on the table flew up and curved around him.
âTelekinesis?â Mae widened her eyes, recognizing this power.
âWhat are youâ!â Evelyn was confused, but a piece of the gun suddenly flew toward Evelynâs forehead as Nathan failed to control all of them completely. In the end, there were 12 parts he controlled at once. It was different from what he had used so far, so even with his current control, it wouldnât be weird if he failed.
But what was even more shocking was the fact that the part actually hit Evelynâs head.
âOuch!â Evelyn clicked her tongue before catching it. âWhat are you doing?â
âEh?!â Nathan couldnât believe what he saw. Evelynâs reflexes should be fast enough to catch the part. No, she should have been able to use her own energy to send it back to him. Yet, for some reason, she got hit.
âWho are you?â Nathan glared at her. There was no way Evelyn would be that weak.
What he didnât know was that the one in front of him was truly Evelyn. But he didnât consider that Evelyn had completely dropped her guard when she was near him, which made her reaction speed so slow. It showed her complete trust in him.
At the same time, Mae pointed at Evelyn while saying, âShe is Evelyn, Master. You donât remember her or something? Her smell is the same.â
That was why Evelyn was slightly annoyed. She pinched Nathanâs cheeks again while berating him. âIs this the mouth who asked who I am? Do you have chronic forgetfulness?â
âOw⊠Forgive me. Why are you pinching my cheeks all the time? Do you have a grudge against my cheeks?â It was through this action that Nathan knew it was indeed Evelyn.
Evelyn took a deep breath and finally stopped. âWell, thatâs enough. So, youâre controlling your gun with ena now? Are you going to make them fly around now?â
Nathan smiled excitedly. âHehehe. I have combined several concepts for this new system.â
