Chapter 177: Something Desired (1)

Due brought a wheelbarrow full of scrap metal that he used for gardening.

「Mister Seiya. I’ll leave it here the things you asked for. 」

「Yeah. I appreciate it. 」

Seiya looked up and thanked Due.

First day in the Underworld. In the backyard of Uno’s mansion, Seiya began to synthesize a motorcycle. Scrap metal, aluminum, rubber, among other utensils, were some of the things that Seiya had asked Due in order to synthesize a motorcycle.

「Hmm…I want that unicycle too. It looks like it can be used as a material as well. 」

「Yes. I don’t mind. 」

Due smiled as he said that, but…c’mon…that unicycle belonged to Due…!

I was skeptical about Seiya’s attitude, but I noticed that Uno’s older brother Due had a kind smile on his face, just like Colt’s.

「Thank you, Due. 」

I thanked him on Seiya’s behalf…On that moment, Due, who was smiling humbly, suddenly felt unsteady on his feet. I panicked and supported Due’s body.

「Wha…What’s wrong? Are you dizzy? 」

「Yes. Lately…my head has been hurting a bit…」

He was touching his eyebrows with a distorted expression. He seemed to be in pain. Just like Uno, the area between the eyebrows had a jewel embedded in it.

「Due. You’ve helped a lot. You can rest now. 」

「Sorry…」

After forcing a smile, Due went inside the house.

…I wondered if Due was alright.

We were staying at the house of the siblings Due and Uno when we were in the Underworld. I felt indebted to the two of them for providing us with food, clothing, and shelter. And I was genuinely worried about Due’s health.

However, it seemed that Seiya didn’t care about him when I took a quick look to see if he was worried…Seiya was completely focused in building his motorcycle.

Seiya disassembled the current motorcycle and put the parts together using scrap metal. In other words, John Dae’s favorite vehicle was currently in pieces. John Dae would scream and faint if he saw this.

Eventually, Seiya succeeded in synthesizing a fuel tank using scrap metal and something that resembled aluminum. I bent my knees and watched this scene unfold before my eyes.

「Just like the guns, this motorcycle is almost the same as the motorcycles in my world. The only difference is the fuel system. 」

Seiya explained it to me, which was rare. Seiya had always loved creating something, so he was probable too excited about it.

「Instead of gasoline, they use liquefied magical energy. This is quite convenient, depending on what you do. Even if we run out of fuel, we can always replenish it as long as we have magic power. 」

「I see. So you don’t have to pay for gasoline. 」

「It’s eco-friendly. 」

「Eco-friendly, huh. 」

While talking about those random things, Seiya synthesized all the parts he had. While assembling those parts, Seiya didn’t forget to put the parts of John Dae’s motorcycle back together.

「The most troublesome thing is reassembling John Dae’s motorcycle. 」

Even though he complained, he was still focused on his work. It was not a copy, but a synthesis. So after synthesizing the parts he wanted for his motorcycle, Seiya had to synthesize the parts for John Dae’s motorcycle as close to their original form as possible. I certainly thought it was a tedious task, but Seiya couldn’t afford to skip that part since he declared “I’ll borrow it”.

However, it was not manufactured from scratch. It was a synthetic process after all. It felt like a cheat in manufacturing, because in less than an hour, Seiya had succeeded in making a similar type of motorcycle like the one John Dae had. Even so…

「It doesn’t have any tires. 」

「I don’t have enough rubber. Obtaining synthetic materials for tires are the most difficult. 」

Seiya looked frustrated. The heavy labor had been completed, but it couldn’t run without tires.

「Due is resting in his room, so shall we look for those materials? 」

「No, wait. How can we prevent that time loss…」

Suddenly, I noticed that Seiya was staring at me while I was sitting on my knees. Why was Seiya staring so fixedly at me…? Ah, maybe!

I looked down. My cleavage was accentuated because I was sitting half-back. I casually crossed my arms in front of my chest. Seiya was still staring at me intently. I leaned closer to Seiya while staying in that position.

…Fuhuhuh! His eyes were glued to my plump breasts!

The moment I thought so, a severe pain went through my head!

「…!! It hurtsssssssssss!? 」

I looked at Seiya while holding my head. There was a lot of my blonde hair on his right hand! Seiya plucked my hair!

「Let’s use a goddess’ hair for the motorcycle synthesis as well. 」

「It was painful, you know! Why did you suddenly pluck my hair! 」

「Since you approached me with a smile, I thought you were implying, 『It’s okay to shave my hair. 』」

「From what world have you come from!? A woman who smiles doesn’t mean, 『It’s okay to shave my hair. 』!! 」

However, Seiya didn’t show any remorse as usual and put my hair closer to his motorcycle. Immediately, a white smoke was generated along with a bursting sound.

Eventually, my eyes widened in shock…when the smoke cleared. I spoke to Seiya in excitement.

「Seiya! It’s amazing! Tires! It has tires! 」

Two sturdy tires were attached to the motorcycle without using any materials.

…I didn’t know my hair could be used for tires just like it was for platinum swords! My goddess hair was truly almighty!

My hair was amazing! I was still praising myself in my heart, but Seiya was looking at the motorcycle with a worried expression on his face.

「What…is this…」

「Eh? 」

I noticed the irregularity. At first, all I could see was the tires, but when I looked closely, I saw that the fuel tank and the frame, which had previously been silver, were now dyed pink.

Seiya spoke with a face as if he had chewed a bitter insect.

「I don’t care about how I dress nor how my belongings look like, but this is on whole different level. It went too far. 」

「You…You think so? It has a bright color, and it looks cool, don’t you agree? Doesn’t it look like a “Harley”? 」

「It’s completely different from a “Harley”. If anything, it has become more like a motorcycle for girls. I will draw unnecessary attention if I ride something like this. There’s an increased risk of being attacked by enemies. 」

Seiya let out a big sigh.

「It has failed. I shouldn’t have added the goddess hair. 」

Then, he said while glaring at me.

「I shouldn’t have added the goddess hair. 」

「Why say it twice!! Can you please stop staring at me!? 」

I was annoyed by the way he scolded me. As expected, Seiya didn’t complain any longer and shook his head from side to side as if to change his mood.

「The motorcycle synthesis has been suspended for the time being. 」

Something is definitely happening in the Underworld…Are they getting corrupted by the Goddess of Violence…or are they returning to their original form? Or is it something else? And why isn’t Seiya explaining to Lista?
