Recently, the quiet Guldari village has become a little noisy.

“What’s going on?”

When Harmon saw Domi being brought in as a criminal to the Guldari Guild, he realized that the kid had been in some kind of trouble, and then when he saw Isaiah enter the village and drag the remains of a giant mechanical weapon using a transport robot, he realized that the incident was related to that.

‘Did that kid drag that big thing into the village?’

This area is the territory of the Guldari Guild.

Naturally, the Guldari Guild did not want the area around the village, which they had worked hard to organize and quiet down after the robots were removed, to become noisy.

What if you bring up the cause of the commotion and then ask someone else for help instead of solving it yourself?

“Ugh. It brings back old memories.“

Harmon shivered as he scratched at the Guild of Guild slave mark stamped on the back of his neck.

Anyway, it had nothing to do with him, so Harmon returned to the repair shop and suddenly thought.

‘Wait. What about my shower?’

Domi. Isaiah.

There was no sign of a shower behind either of them.

‘Did the Guldari Guild take it? Sigh. What a shame.’

Unfortunately, it is too risky to aim for the shower head that has already fallen into the hands of the Guldari Guild.

Harmon tried to console his sorrow by recalling the dizzying nakedness of the shower.

… … That’s what happened.

“That little kid asked me to leave him with you.”

“Oh.”

That night, Isaiah came secretly and gave Harmon the shower head with its broken limbs.

Harmon clicked his tongue at the sight of the shower head, wrapped in black cloth, its right arm and both legs shattered.

“Tsk. Why did it break like this?”

“He rushed at the tiger to protect his owner.”

“Oh my. This is going to be hard to fix.”

“Isn’t it possible?”

Hamon thought for a moment at Isaiah’s words.

Is it impossible or possible?

Strictly speaking, it was impossible.

With the facilities that currently exist on this earth.

“No, it is possible.”

But if you go ‘underground’, it’s a different story.

In the basement here was the biggest reason Harmon opened a repair shop here.

One of the reasons is that it is built into Harmon’s arm.

“But?”

“It’s embarrassing to show it to others.”

When Harmon said that, Isaiah nodded in understanding.

In this world, everyone has one or two secrets that they cannot show to others. Isaiah and Hamon also had many secret items that they did not leave to be maintained.

“Okay, then I’ll go.”

Go.

Even though he said that, Isaiah hesitated for a moment and did not leave the garage.

He hunches over, his legs tightly curled up, and glances at Harmon.

Harmon, who was watching the scene, said with a slight smile.

“What’s wrong? Do you have something to say?”

“… No.”

“Then why are you still there? Are you going to get some maintenance done?”

“… … .”

At Harmon’s words, Isaiah briefly stuck his head out of the repair shop and looked around, then approached Harmon and handed him something.

“This, this. Fix it.”

What Isaiah presented was not something that needed any special maintenance.

A crude dagger made by tying together scraps of iron, commonly seen anywhere.

Harmon saw that and accepted the dagger with a smile.

“Come in.”

“… … How much is it?”

When Isaiah asked quietly, Hamon asked back.

“How much do you think it will be?”

“… 5,500g or so… .”

After a while.

“Hoooh!!”

Isaiah’s breathless screams were heard from the shower head that was lying sprawled on the floor.

“Okay, let’s sleep! Ahhh! Already! Already done! 5, 500g!”

“No, I don’t think it’s done yet?”

“Ahhhh! Aaah, yikes! That’s it, it’s not right…! Baby, is it?!”

“You’ve become more sensitive than before.”

“No, what the heck?! Sir, you’re mistaken, that’s right… ! Heh heh♡”

Kkuchuk, slurp.

After a long time of Isaiah’s song, accompanied by the persistent squeezing of fingers and groans, silence fell on the garage as the moon began to wane.

It was a stillness that came after a longer period of time than at 800g.

“I, I’m going!”

Hamon waved at Isaiah, who was running away with water dripping from his legs, and moved the shower head while humming a tune at Isaiah’s attitude of giving himself more than before.

“Ugh. It’s a bit heavy. The shower head is the lightest size, 300.”

Harmon, who went into his room deep inside the maintenance shop, manipulated the bed.

The bed, which usually only adjusted Harmon’s sleeping position, folded here and there when Harmon manipulated it and disappeared, revealing the stairs leading to the basement.

Harmon took out the authentication mark from the chance and authenticated himself as the owner, then took the shower and went into the basement.

* * *

In the past, Harmon was working as a scavenger and wandering the wilderness when he got his chance.

The chance was different from the items found in regular relics.

It is unknown whether it was created for military or criminal purposes, but it was an all-purpose hacking tool that could be used to disassemble or assemble any model or type of aircraft and access the system to attempt hacking.

From small things like old-fashioned locks to large things like artificial intelligence.

If you can’t hack with this chance, it’s not a problem with the performance of the chance, but a problem with the intelligence and skill of the human using the chance.

After getting it, Harmon continued to research and study the chance.

Then I suddenly realized that sometimes a symbol with the exact same shape as a symbol remaining in Chance is found.

After tracking it down, we arrived at this place, Guldari Village.

And after tracing that symbol and arriving at it, the place we settled down was the location where the Harmon Repair Shop was built.

There were many reasons why Harmon endured and persevered while accepting the slave contract, but the biggest reason was to avoid having the garage itself taken away.

“Let’s see.”

As they descended deep underground, a perfectly managed and magnificent laboratory, unlike anything seen in other ruins, was revealed in front of Harmon.

There are many defensive facilities prepared before coming down here, so you can never come down without something like Harmon’s Chance.

Harmon, who arrived underground like that, looked around the underground scene.

A room the size of a soccer field, with a smooth floor, walls, and ceiling, and a pure white slate.

In the center of it all, a small power plant was prepared to supply the facility with electricity, and in the center of the power plant, three rings of light were spinning furiously.

Aside from the power plant, there were many parts of the facility that were in disrepair.

However, there were some that were quite normal.

One of them is the giant test tube that Harmon brought in with the shower.

A test tube filled with blue liquid inside. Harmon calls it a restorer.

This test tube is to hold the blue liquid that is filled inside the test tube, and the key is the blue liquid that is filled inside the test tube.

Amazingly, all kinds of broken objects are restored to their original state when placed in the blue liquid.

There are several costs.

One is that the mass of the liquid disappears by the amount equal to the mass of the restored object, which is probably replaced by the restored object.

Next, the massive power consumption. Once the restore is activated, it puts a huge burden on the generators that have been running for a long time and barely keeping this facility going.

So far, Harmon has been able to revive the generator to some extent by maintaining it, but there is no telling when or how the generator could completely fail.

Finally, the problem arises with the machine itself being restored.

The machine will not work no matter what you do or how you do it until the restoration is complete.

If you take the machine out during the restoration process, it will not turn back on no matter what you do. It seems like the machine needs to replace the broken parts with blue liquid and then go through additional processes, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

‘Should I use this or not?’

Harmon thought for a moment.

Then, he nodded after looking back and forth between the generator’s status and the shower head that was quietly closing its eyes.

“No, what.”

Harmon took out the chance and connected himself to Restore, then activated Restore, and soon the blue liquid that filled Restore melted the glass of the test tube and gushed out, sweeping away the shower.

The blue liquid that swallowed the shower head and went back into the test tube.

Soon, the restoration process began and a window appeared asking for restoration priorities. After a moment of hesitation, Harmon discovered something strange.

“What is this?”

It’s not just broken limbs and damaged internal parts.

A list of much more things that need to be fixed begins to appear.

First of all, tofu.

There was a sign indicating that major restoration was needed on the head area.

“… … .”

When Harmon saw that, he realized.

‘This isn’t the young master’s pet humanoid for sex education.’

Someone changed the AI of a combat humanoid into that of a pet.

Even after the restoration was completed, the total mass of the shower head was calculated to be 855 kg.

That means it’s a full-fledged combat humanoid with a size of 800 or higher.

It is unclear why all the parts necessary for battle were left broken and left to fend for themselves, but Harmon thought about it for a moment and then let it slide.

“Okay. That’s good. This is going to be mine.”

If this is the case, then restoring the shower head with Restore was absolutely the right choice.

Or maybe I should have made a device that lets me keep a combat humanoid as a pet.

“Restore the lower body first. The tofu last.”

The blue liquid begins to glow softly, and the shower’s two broken legs return to their original positions and begin to slowly recover.

Harmon looked at it and thought.

‘Once the lower body is restored, should I finish the lower body first and then take it out to have a taste?’
