"Here, take this."
Calix pulled a tiny box from his necklace. This was the battle suit that Kimberly gave to him.
Nikki caught it and the box returned to its original size. Her hands trembled as she looked at it.
"T- this is the newest version of Cudgel Tech's battle suit! The C- series!"
She was surprised. She didn't expect that she would touch a high-end tech like this, much less use it herself. This was the only battlesuit that could shrink up to an inch.
"I don't even have the lower version that can be shrunk to a fist-size and yet you're just giving me this?"
Nikki was saving money for her daughter. Besides, the price of the battle suit from Cudgel Tech was enormous. So even buying was impossible. Nikki didn't have a battle suit(normal one) because carrying them was a hassle.
"Yup."
Calix nodded. He didn't care much about this C- series. He could ask Kimberly for another one.
'Nikki needs the battle suit more than me. She was paralyzed earlier. I can't let that happen again.'
He remembered how Nikki struggled to live. She was doing her best to swim yet her body was not listening, Calix didn't like to see her in despair. Especially now that he was guilty of what he did.
" After this, I will talk to you. For now you have to use my battle suit because it's dangerous if the Umibozos hit you again."
"All right."
In the end, Nikki agreed. It was stupid to act timid right now.
'B- but this is his battle suit. I'm sure he wore at least one D- does that mean that--'
Yup. You could say that Nikki was going to use Calix's t-shirt or boxer shorts, that was the best comparison.
"Quick, the Kraken is coming!"
Calix roared, reminding her. This huge monster kept attacking him earlier, and Calix did their best to protect Nikki. That's why he couldn't swim in the ocean and leave her.
The Kraken screeched. Its body was wounded, and three of its tentacles were missing because of Calix. The Kraken was clearly mad and wanted revenge.
"Yare yare daze. Are you angry that you can't hurt me even though I cut three of your tentacles? Pathetic."
He muttered, grinning so wide.
"Calix, that's a Kraken."
Nikki was wearing the battle suit and grabbed her golden hammer. She was confused why she felt refreshed.
"I know."
"No, you don't understand. The lowest level that a Kraken can be at is 3rd-Class. That means that you are going to fight a 3rd-Class or higher."
"Pfft-haha."
Calix chuckled.
"Huh? Is something funny?"
Nikki was offended. She was just concerned yet this guy laughed.
"Nothing. I'm just surprised that you can actually speak like that, and your expression is quite cute too."
"W- what!!"
Her face turned red. No one ever said that she was cute. She might understand if Calix said that she looked like a gorilla or her face is frightening. Yet
"M- me? Cute!!?"
She lost her mind for a second. She immediately slapped herself when she realized that this guy has a girlfriend and flirting with him was bad.
"Nikki? Why did you do that?"
"Are you stupid?"
"Huh?"
"You can't just say that to someone! They will misunderstand it! Lying is the thing that I really hate the most! Do you get it?"
Her voice was like that of a roaring gorilla. She was puffing, mad at Calix.
"I said do you understand?"
"Y- yeah!"
Calix instinctively said.
"No?"
"U- understandable, have a nice day!"
Calix even stuttered. He experienced how Nikki slammed him against the wall, but this was his first time seeing her angry like this. God her voice was frightening.
"Now, we must find a way to survive."
Nikki erased the sweet feeling in her heart. She calmed her beating. It would be bad if she looked at Calix in a different way. She just met the guy for not even a week. Yet her feelings for him were starting to get out of control.

She clenched her hammer. She decided to release her fury against the monsters.
"I will fight these lackeys while you face the boss."
"Got it."
Mikael nodded.
"By the way" Nikki swallowed hard. She was nervous too. After all, they were in this tiny piece of land that might sink at any second where hundreds of Umibozos and Shokoys were surrounding them.
"Can we win?"
She asked. That was the important thing that she wanted to know.
"Don't worry." Calix chuckled. "You're Lucky."
"Huh?"
Nikki tilted her head, but her immersion ended when Shokoys started running toward her.
"Damn it! I don't know why there are Shokoys here but I don't care anymore!"
This was the only time that Nikki could speak well, whenever she was on the battlefield and shedding blood.
"Graaahh!!!"
A group of Shokoys pounced on her but Nikki brushed them like dust. Then, she swung her weapon and smashed them to pieces. Their organs splattered onto the other Aberrants.
"Strange, am I this strong? Never mind, it's probably because of the battle suit and my adrenaline."
She said to herself and confronted the monsters.
As for Calix, he was already prepared for round 2.
"Last time you escaped because I let you. I have to protect Nikki while she's asleep. But now that I'm free. Let's see if you can win."
"Quaarghh--!!"
The Kraken screeched.
"Tiger-Class, huh? Well, you're a strong monster but sadly, you met me."
Calix raised Mento, the gun was in an electric harpoon form. The harpoon was buzzing with electricity and everything around Calix began steaming.
He grinned.
"They say that electricity and water are a dangerous combination, let's see why!"
He aimed his harpoon at the upcoming monster. Last time, he used a rocket launcher but the Kraken successfully escaped, only losing three tentacles.
"Now!!"
Calix pulled the trigger right when the Kraken spread its tentacles to smash him.
The harpoon flew and successfully stabbed the monster.
"Gaaarrggg!!"
The Kraken roared and tried to break free against the harpoon.
"Nope, that harpoon is not that easy to pull off. Besides, it's connected to Mento."
There was a thin line connecting the harpoon and Mento.
"Maybe you're wondering why the harpoon has a line. It's actually simple because that's where the electricity will travel!!"
Calix pushed the button right under the trigger and Mento began generating energy!
The electricity flowed into the line reaching the monster. Then,
"Rrraaahhhhhh!!!"
The Kraken cried as voltage slowly cook it.
