Box's size was no bigger than my thumb, so even though I am many times bigger than an ordinary person this box still smaller than a regular person. From this size, maybe Sky Mage send me a weapon ? or item?
Let's see.
The moment I removed the lid a dazzling light began to shine from the box. For a second I closed my eyes because of brightness. The light faded as rapidly as it appeared.
After the light In box stood a small boy that looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. He was shorter than an ordinary adult man. His hair was pure white that small part is tied ponytail on the back of his head, his face was charming, and his arms and legs are thin, his shoulders slim and his waist narrow almost makes me want to hug him. I simply couldn’t believe it to be natural.
Every part of him looked human, save for the four small horns extruding from his forehead, bright red eye with rhombus shaped white pupil and short pointy ear.
He dressed in clothes looks like a between traditional Japanese male and mountain monk clothes with long sleeve and sandals with a thick sole.
[Greetings Griefheart-sama] with perfect bow boy greeted me. [My name is Kurogane].
Surprise but a pleasant one.
Kurogane lvl 125 (Master: Gladys Griefheart)
I checked Kurogane's status and noticed he is quite weak despite his lvl is much higher than me.
Also, what do you mean his race is Dwarf Oni?
[Allow me to explain.]
Sky Mage's voice suddenly appears in my head and began to explain about his race and my relation with him.
[Dwarf Oni is subspecies of Oni, but unlike other types of Oni known for it is strength and brutality. Dwarf Oni's are fairly weak but very smart and have longl ife span because their physics similar to the spirit. They especially proficient in mechanical and alchemy field.]
Then why it says I am his master?
[Because of their weak combat ability and slow energy recovery, they usually work under a strong entity as a personal doctor or blacksmith in exchange for protection and energy supply.]
Well, then how about telling me why sending him?
Usually, in this situation, you send a tool or supply but sending a boy well technically he is adult but still someone without any self-defence to help someone(me) who is taken heavy damage that doesn't have enough power to protect itself?
[Well I thought he is perfect candidate well you know because you are almost entirely mechanical and he is expert at it.]
Sky mage tried to explain to me, but I want to call bullsh*t because Kurogane doesn't have his tools are you telling me to fix the submarine sized mechanical nightmare using a screwdriver?

[It is okay in first place god's fault anyway so I took permission from Association.]
That is not I AM TALKING ABOUT! Ah, he cut the talk in a mid way!
[Nooow then. Master let me see around here and find something to repair your body.] He said, casually and tried to leave the box.
[Ah!]
With a cute sound, he drops on the ground while trying to vault over the box.
Pfft!
[Ayaa sorry master] Kurogane said he stands up, then he started to check the damage on my body.
[Master what an interesting body you have]
The clear curiosity in his voice was only emphasized by the way his eyes darted around my body and examined every inch of my body. It felt weird, but I couldn't refuse his earnest look. So I let him continue checking my body.
An hour of checking later I felt something weird, and it disappeared in a second.
[Master your body is too complex for me to repair at least for now. I need more time to study. Especially something like your weapons, eye or even organ ]
While raising his arm like a child Kurogane explained to me with a sparkling eye it looked cute, but his topic was scary. I bet if I agree with him he would exam every part of my body well some way it sounds nice because I also know more about my body, but It really felt weird so I shooked my head.
Seeing I saying no [Oh is that so] Kurogane said with a sad tone. He really seemed down with his downcast eye. I really wanna say yes, but I stopped my self at that moment.
*Cough*
Ah, he recovered.
[Then Master I have two offers for you. First is I replace your missing part using a part of those destroyed equipment and war machines.
Second is for using some force to repair the body automatically. If master wants the first choice then nod once if want the second choice then nod two times.]
Kurogane points a destroyed MEC body and some intact cannons that laying around doc. The first choice sounds good but it definitely takes time also I don't know how long I can hide. So I noded two times.
[Okay just a wait second master I will be right back.]
Said Kurogane went towards one MEC missing it is head and rips off something from a spine part and began to control it.
While swaying side to side MEC walks towards me and stops right under my nose.
[Now Master don't be a scared okay~]
With cat like a grin, Kurogane enters my body.
Naah as if a grown woman like scared of something doesn't underestimate me this woman has seen everythi...
I saw Kurogane appears before me while holding a weird pulsating round ball with two pipes connected some part of my body.
Wait a sec that looks something more important to me.
Then Kurogane puts ball in front of MEC. And controlling the MEC he prepares to punch this ball connected my body.
Suddenly I something very wrong and I saw ball begun to pulsate even faster as if my he-art ?
[Well then. Let's begin~!]
NOoooo
