Chapter 38: To Punish the Old Enemy Again (2)
Proofread by Peter Gong
“Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you for a long time!”Agatha complains when she sees Rowen.
“Why are you looking for me?” Rowen asks casually.
“We have to move to a new house!” Agatha says excited. “I’ve found a good place. We’ll move there now!”
“Why? We can live in the dormitory!” Rowen looks puzzled. “And you’ve found another place to live in?”
“The dormitory is too small, how can we live in there? It’s also not convenient to practice or cast sword, of course we need to find another place.” Says Agatha quickly. “Enough talk, pack up your things, let’s go!”
“The place you’ve found allows you to make swords?” Rowen couldn’t resist asking.
“Sure, you’ll see.” Says Agatha a little pleased. “I’ve had a hard time finding it!”
After thinking for a moment, Rowen decides to go and see. It isn’t that he wants to live with Agatha, but that he wants to know whether the place would be suitable for studying his iron armored beast. If Agatha can make swords there, it would be large enough to solve his problem.
Neither of them really has much to pack though they are packing. After about half an hour, Rowen, Agatha and Laidlaw reappear at the gate of the Royal Knight College.
“Is the place you say in the college?” Rowen asks as Agatha walks straight through the gate.
“Of course, you have to go to school in you daily life, so it’s not convenient to live too far away from here.” Agatha says as if she took that for granted.
Rowen doesn’t say anything, and just follows Agatha forward. Of course, he attracts a lot of attention along the way.
After walking for about ten or twenty minutes, Agatha finally stops and points forward, “Look, there it is!”
Rowen looks around, but he doesn’t see any houses. All he can see is a huge green bamboo grove with wind blowing the leaves. The view is good but the place is obviously remote because he doesn’t see anyone at the moment.
“Where is the house?” Rowen asks at last.
“There it is!” Agatha points to the bamboo grove
Rowen rubs his eyes and is finally convinced that there are no houses over there.
“There’s only a bamboo grove!” Rowen is a little annoyed. He thinks Agatha is trying to trick him on purpose.
“Never mind, cut down the bamboo grove, we can build a house on it!” Says Agatha simply.
“What?” Rowen is a bit dumbstruck. What is she thinking about? Does she plan to build a house here?
“Please, this place belongs to the Royal Knight College. Can they allow you to build any house you want?” Rowen couldn’t help reminding her, “This isn’t the Ryan Villa.”
“What does it matter? The College has agreed that I can build here whenever I want.” Says Agatha smiling.
“The College gave you permission to build a house here?” Rowen is a little surprised now, then he asks, “But even if it is the case, you haven’t even built a house yet, so why do you move here? And where do you sleep at night?”
“Here!” Agatha points to the bamboo grove. “I’ve never slept in a bamboo grove, but I can try it tonight. Ha Ha!”
Rowen is speechless again. The lady’s mind is a little different from the ordinary people.
“Don’t stare at me blankly, let’s go in first. Let me tell you, there is a lake inside, I plan to build the house beside the lake!” Agatha drags Rowen’s arm and walks into the bamboo grove.
The area of the bamboo grove is relatively large. After walking for a few minutes, the view in front of them suddenly becomes broad. As Agatha says, there is indeed a lake in the middle of the bamboo grove. However, there are now dozens of couples leaning together and whispering in low voices along this lake. Is this the place where the Royal Knight College couples have their date?
The lake water is very clear and the bamboo is reflected in the water, which seems like a dream. It’s breezy and refreshing, and it’s indeed a really nice place.
Their arrival doesn’t seem to attract the attention of the couples. They are still indulging in their love and romance and not feeling uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, Rowen feels a little bit embarrassed.
“Can this place be used to build a house?” Rowen couldn’t resist asking Agatha. “This is where they’re going to date.
“It used to be such a place, but now this place is mine. They have to go somewhere else if they want to date.” Agatha mutters, and then she shouts loudly, “Now, you guys listen to me, this place is mine, and you are not allowed to come here for any dates!”
At last some people respond to Agatha. They all raise their heads and look over here, then they look at one another as if they have not yet understood what is happening.
“Hey, if you hear that, then go, I have to build a house here!” Cries Agatha with discontent.
“Excuse me, Miss…” Finally someone asks.
But before he could ask, Agatha interrupts him. “Don’t ask me why. If you have a problem, go and ask the old Steve. This is my private place from now on, and no one is allowed to come in.”
“Miss, do you mean Dean Steve?” Asks a girl.
“Nonsense, it’s he!” Agatha is a little impatient. “Well, well, go quickly, go and ask the old Steve if you have any problems, don’t bother me!”
Dozens of couples look at one another and eventually go away, not knowing whether they sense Agatha’s dominance, or they want to find out what is going on. In short, after a while, all these people leave, and there is no one left.
“Oh…” Cries Agatha happily like a little girl. “Here’s mine!”
“How could you manage to get this place?” Rowen wonders.
“Well, I promised to give old Steve a sword, so he promised to give me the place.” Agatha is a little pleased, but she adds indignantly, “But the old man refused to sell me this place, he just lets me use it for a while, and if I leave, he’ll take it back!”
“Is Steve the Vice President in charge of the Warrior Arts Department?” Asks Rowen who has seen it in the student handbook.
“Yes!” Agatha nods. “Leave that alone, I have to think about how to build the house today, then we can start to build tomorrow.”
Agatha pays no attention to Rowen, and she runs around the lake pointing here and there, wondering, meanwhile, what she wants to build.
“Rowen, come here!” Rowen is bored and about to leave when Agatha waves to him across the lake.
“What’s the matter?” Says Rowen as he walks over.
“Look, how about building our house here?” Agatha turns around and points to the bamboo grove in front of her. “We’ll cut them all down and make a casting field next to the house.”
“Do what you like.” Rowen doesn’t have any particular requirement concerning building the house.
“All right, then!” Agatha jumps up suddenly and flies above the bamboo grove. She cries out in a soft voice, and somehow a sword is in her hand. The purple Dou Chi comes out from the tip of the sword, creating a huge circle in the air. Then the circle disappears into the bamboo grove and the bamboos all fall down.
“Is it big enough?” Agatha says when she lands beside Rowen pointing to the bamboo grove in the circle.
“It seems larger than the casting field at the Ryan Villa?” Rowen doesn’t know what to say. The innocent bamboo grove is thus destroyed by the lady.
“Ha ha, then it is big enough. Rowen, your turn!” Says Agatha smiling.
“What should I do?” Rowen, however, has not yet understood.
“Cut down all these bamboos. Otherwise, how can we build a house?” Replies Agatha without thinking his question.
“You want me to chop down all these bamboos?” Rowen is discontented, “You can do it faster than me, don’t you?”
“I have more work to do. I have to get someone to help me build the house and buy some things. Anyway, you have to cut down the bamboos.” Agatha has many reasons.
“You want to build the house, not me.” Rowen obviously doesn’t want to do such a manual job.
“Hey, you’re wrong. What do you mean I’m the one to build the house? I am your wife, my house will be your house, I build the house, so you also have to build the house. If you want to build a house, of course, you have to chop the bamboos!” Agatha argues, and before Rowen understands it, she runs away to the other side and shouts, “Rowen, you must get it done today!”
Agatha has disappeared before her sound disappears, and Laidlaw has naturally disappeared with her.
Considering that Agatha is right, and that he might occasionally use the place in the future, Rowen decides to do it anyway. But it is a little bit difficult to have a summoner do the manual work.
Fortunately, Rowen is not an ordinary summoner. Looking at the bamboo grove in front of him, Rowen suddenly has an idea of killing two birds with one stone.
Rowen appears in the cockpit of the iron armored beast after he presses the button on the bracelet. Of course, it needs weapons to cut bamboos. However, the iron armored beast only has two weapon systems. Obviously, the energy gun is not suitable for cutting bamboos, so he chooses the light saber. Although Rowen doesn’t know, either, what the light saber is, but since it is a sword, he is sure that it can be used to cut bamboo.
It is not that he hasn’t thought of flattening the bamboo grove with iron armored beast, but that he thinks it would be a good chance to study the iron armored beast’s abilities while cutting down bamboos.
“Now let’s see what a light saber is like.” Rowen mutters, pressing a button on the console. He has already known the function of each button, but he hasn’t used most of them yet because he is afraid it is hard to control them. But now he has practiced the Sun and Moon Mind Method to the first level, and he remembers the iron armored beast says that only then can he be basically in line with the physique of a Mecha Fighter and operate the Mecha normally.
“Light saber is about to be activated.” The familiar voice of the beast comes into Rowen’s ears, “Would you like to switch to man-machine integrated mode?”
“Huh?” Rowen feels confused, “Do I have to be in man-machine integrated mode to use a light saber?”
“No, but light saber is at its best when it is in man-machine integrated mode. Thus, the system advises you to switch to man-machine integrated mode.” Answers the iron armored beast.
