"Hey, hey! Hold on a minute! Boss Oleg only told us to come cheer you on... And here you are, suddenly deciding to drag us into being your sparring partners?" Serval immediately refused, "We don't have the time for that..."

"Hahaha, your expression really gives everything away. My master told me that the situation in the Underworld has been relatively stable lately, and the Wildfire has been having a quiet time. Besides..." Luka raised his hand and pointed to the person beside her, "Look at the way you look at Star, she must be very interested, right?"

Star spread her hands: "Sure enough, the protagonist's destiny is to be a tool."

Serval looked at Star with an even stranger look: "...What kind of weird line is that now?"

"It means you won't refuse, right? I knew I was right!"

Serval was also quite helpless: "Sigh... Always talking to yourself, I can't do anything about you. Fine, since Star agreed, count me in for this trip too."

"Great, it's settled then! The location for this training will be Svarog's territory—I've heard about the big things you two did there before, so you should be very familiar with the environment, right? Just let me know when you're ready, and we'll head out together!"

"Hey, Josuke, why does this guy have to run off to the territory of that big shot called Svarog just to get stronger? The two people right in front of him are stronger, wouldn't sparring with Star be enough?"

On the way to school, Okuyasu looked confusedly at Luka in Celestial Screen.

"Okuyasu, it's a simple principle. Luka wants to get stronger, not commit suicide," Josuke licked his ice cream, "Star's baseball bat has beaten everyone from Emanators down to Corporation employees. If she accidentally knocks him out for good, it wouldn't be worth it—in the entire Underworld, as long as he doesn't challenge the big shot Svarog to a duel, I think he'll be fine."

"Oh, oh, that makes sense. But what if he *does* want to challenge Svarog to a duel? I remember Mr. Jotaro once said,'Stand users are attracted to each other,' maybe iron fists are attracted to iron fists too?"

Josuke curled his lip: "That would be a fight with no suspense. Star and Serval and the others barely managed to take it down when they teamed up. Luka alone... Of course, if he awakened a Stand and had Mr. Jotaro's Star Platinum, then I think he'd have a chance."

The three quickly arrived at Svarog's territory. The first stop on their itinerary was finding a mechanic named "Cassidy."

Luka had an appointment with him and had given him a heads-up, so they easily found him in a camp. Upon seeing Luka, Cassidy was overjoyed, but when he glanced slightly to the side and saw Serval, his face suddenly froze.

"M-Miss Serval?! My trivial little matter actually brought out two Wildfire executives..."

"Oh, they're just helping out since they were passing by, don't worry about it! Just explain what happened to you clearly."

"'Helping out since they were passing by'...'" Serval glared at Luka, clearly annoyed.

Cassidy was an amateur mechanic. His reason for seeking Luka was simple: two robot partners he usually assembled were missing. He suspected someone had secretly taken them while he was away—but since he couldn't figure out how the culprit did it, he wanted to ask the Wildfire for help.

"I see! You lost two robots, right? Do you have any clues, or even just a reasonable guess? If we're going to help investigate, we need a starting point, don't we?"

Cassidy didn't believe anyone in the settlement could tamper with his technology and take the robots without a trace, but if he had to mention something, there was one thing he couldn't figure out.

"One of my two stolen robots was a drone, which I named Little Fly. I installed an alarm on Little Fly; anyone without authorization who gets close to it will buzz incessantly—the volume is guaranteed to be heard by everyone in the settlement. But when the robots were stolen, I didn't hear Little Fly's alarm at all... That's the part I still can't figure out."

— delicious in dungeon.

"So that mechanic named Cassidy... went to all that trouble just to build a robot that makes a huge amount of noise?"

Chilchuck said indistinctly while chewing on jerky: "If that's the case, then I think it's perfectly normal for the robots to be stolen. Maybe some settlement member who couldn't stand the noise destroyed it. All they'd have to do is use remote guns or cannons to deal with it, right?"

"Yeah, and why does he think no one can tamper with his technology? I remember Clara is quite the expert in mechanics, isn't she?"

Marcille was deeply impressed by the white-haired little girl who walked barefoot in the heavy snow.

She suspected the little girl had some power of the Path on her, otherwise, how could she wear so little in the freezing weather and not feel cold? Marcille felt cold just looking at her; that kind of breath-freezing weather... truly unbelievable.

Although Clara herself has no combat power, she seems to have exceptional Talent in mechanics. Given time, she might become an expert no less skilled than Serval.

Chilchuck agreed: "I guess either someone deliberately destroyed them, or the big shot Svarog personally intervened. After all, Cassidy said the 'people' who didn't have authorization—these tin-can robots shouldn't count as people, right?"

"...Oh, there's one more detail, I don't know if it's useful—I installed a tracker on Little Fly. As long as it gets too far from big benz—oh, big benz is the name of the other machine—as long as the distance between the two is too great, Little Fly will automatically start pathfinding and fly to big benz's side."

"Mhm, mhm... Okay, I understand! Don't worry, buddy, we promise we'll help you get your robots back."

Serval looked at him exasperatedly: "...Hey, where did you get that confidence?"

Luka patted his chest: "Trust me, Serval! And don't worry, Cassidy, leave this matter to the Wildfire. You just stay here and rest; don't let a bad mood ruin your whole day!"

After saying goodbye to Cassidy, Serval pulled Luka aside: "...Hey, what was that just now? How are you so sure we can help him find his things?"

"Don't rush, Serval! Listen to my deduction first," Luka analyzed calmly. "Trying to steal two robots unnoticed is a huge undertaking, especially when one of them has an alarm installed. Therefore, I suspect our little thief friend never took Little Fly."

"You mean..."
