"Oh, you've already cast your ball? Didn't you say you were going to be a man?"

IAS patted the display screen of the gripper, and despite being a mechanical body, it could bend down gently to meet the gripper's gaze.

"Well... well, a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle! To be a real man in the future, I can accept temporary tolerance!"

As if it had hit a nerve, the gripper stood there awkwardly for a long time before finally finding an excuse.

It even became more and more enthusiastic, speaking louder and louder. Before convincing everyone else, it seemed to have convinced itself first:

"Yes, that's right! A real man isn't a brute; I also know how to endure and strategize!"

"real?"

A questioning voice rang out from in front of Hans.

Ies tilted his head and blinked several times: "But you could have turned and run away the moment you saw us, even if you might not have been able to escape."

"But you still stopped, as if you were waiting for us. If you had a plan, wouldn't you have run away long ago?"

"Damn it, don't you dare slander me!"

Upon hearing this, the grabber immediately flew into a rage, its small display screen overflowing with fury:

"I was making my declaration of independence as a man! I'm a responsible man, and I'm going to cut ties with the past openly and honestly!"

"A responsible man is now lying here with all four of his legs ripped off?"

Ies is adorable, but her words are malicious.

"Enough! Stop slandering me!"

The grabber roared angrily, "You bunch of treacherous villains, you don't even dare to fight me fairly, head-on..."

Before he could finish speaking, a flaming knife was thrust in front of the gripper's display screen. A wave of heat hit him, and the scorching temperature made the gripper think its circuitry was about to short-circuit.

Fagar raised an eyebrow and said, "You mean you want a one-on-one fight?"

"Um... who wants to fight against carbon-based life forms that are so fragile? I want to fight... I want to fight..."

The grabber was speechless for a moment. The two small eyes on the screen tried to avoid Fagar's gaze and looked around haphazardly before finally stopping on Ies.

Suddenly, it shouted at Ies, "I choose you! I can tell, you're an intelligent machine too! Fight me now, in the name of men!"

Ies tilted his head and slowly typed a question mark.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Fagga's pupils turned crimson in the blink of an eye, and he slowly raised his long sword.

The grabber suddenly felt much cooler and thought that Fagar had had a change of heart and put the knife away. When it subconsciously looked over, Fagar had already raised the knife above its head and was about to fall.

Upon seeing this, the object-grabbing machine immediately stammered incoherently, "Wait...wait! This is a sacred duel, carbon-based life forms are not allowed to interfere...Damn it, you're not a real man! Does this mean my life is about to end?"

Suddenly, Fagar seemed to sense something, glanced to the side, calculated the speed at which Anton was running over, and deliberately paused his long sword in mid-air for a moment.

A moment later, Fagga slashed down with his sword!

"Ah, no!!! My life is over just like that!!!"

Han!

A metallic clang rang out as electricity and fire collided in an instant, unleashing a violent explosion.

Fagar floated backward, and as he left, he casually grabbed Ies and pulled him into his arms. When he landed, he left a shallow scratch on the ground, completely stabilizing his body.

As soon as he stood up, Fagga felt someone gently patting his back.

Turning his head, he saw Ellen with her arms crossed over her chest, and the thing supporting his back was her tail.

Eileen glanced at it and said, "Anything alright?"

"Um."

Faga slowly returned the longsword, casually saying, "He doesn't put as much pressure on me as Lina."

"Tsk! Isn't it obvious?"

Eileen turned her gaze away disdainfully.

Lina is the head maid at Victoria Household!
