"Bug stage?" She asked with a confused and slightly amused look.

"The balance breaker is a bug stage which developed from the fact that no maintenance has been done to the Sacred Gears for the past two thousand years," I explained to the beauty as my fingers stroked her long hair.

"I thought it was because no one was sitting in the chair upstairs there?" She said while pointing her finger towards the sky.

"It's the same. The fact that the chair is empty and because no one can properly maintain the system." I said with a disappointed sigh. Pity that the dude is dead. He would have made a good friend to chat over stuff with. I can assume that his art would have been much better after so many years have passed.

"You sound disappointed."

"Of course. I lost an interesting individual to chat with. I bet his gears would have been much better if he was around." I said honestly to her.

"...Only you could see the Biblical God as a chat buddy…" Serafall said while shaking her head in disbelief, the beauty in my arms simply couldn't believe it. 

"Possibly. Anyway… time for me to run some maintenance for the gear." I said while starting to run some diagnostics for the gear.

"...What are you going to do?" Serafall asked with a slight amount of concern.

"I will run some maintenance and clear the cache. You wouldn't want him to achieve Juggernaut drive simply because Gremory or your little sister refuses to show their boobs or something worse now would you?" I said in an obvious tone.

"He... could do that? I mean achieving Juggernaut Drive just because of that!?" The beauty on my lap said with a slight bit of trepidation.

"There are close to a hundred remnants of angry hosts… especially because of the rivalry between those two heavenly dragons. It's even worse since this perverts drive is extra powerful for… breasts he could easily achieve both Balance Breaker and Juggernaut Drive.

So I won't risk something like Juggernaut drive in an area where my tests are being run." I sharply explained to her.

"...Yes, it will be better this way…" Serafall nodded with a slightly paler look. It seems she has started to understand the issue of this.

With a few clicks of my mouse, the Boosted Gear was now clean. And the maintenance fixed the issues in the system. 

Now. It was safe. There won't be any wacky nonsense of this brat getting power-ups from something ridiculous like poking breasts or just being lust-driven to achieving Balance Breaker.

Still though… I will be keeping my eye on this idiot.

The dragon factor is quite fascinating. And I have a living test subject, not just readings on the data I have collected.

"All done, you can take him back to this house," I said to her.

"Okay… but, where does he live?" She asked the obvious…

"Take my Aurora Glasses." I handed over a case with glasses inside.

"They work in Kuoh?" Serafall asked curiously as she took them.

"Yes. The Internet is a thing you know." I said with a shrug.

"...You are using the internet?"

"More like hijacking it, the firewalls are very primitive," I said with a smile. Remembering all the hacks and wild goose chases…

"I don't even want to figure out how many laws you broke with that…" Serafall said while shaking her head and getting up from my lap.

"A devil thinking about human laws? Well, that's new…" 

She rolled her eyes at me.

"I don't care about them. But, it's you who broke them, so that's why I care." She said that simply but honestly.

Trying to earn her brownie points along the way. As expected from my cute and sexy not-so-magical-girl Sera.

"I see… anyways…let me first disconnect this guy before you send him on his way…" Skipping the conversation about me breaking the law and I got up from my couch instead and walked over to the pervert's side removing the scanners and recalling the Sacred Gear back into his body.

"On a different note, Master… Can you recreate the Boosted Gear?" Serafall asked me as she was about to teleport away.

"Recreate? I can't recreate Ddraig. Not yet. But, make something better? Quite easily. My M.T.M is already superior to Ddraig for the simple reason that he has a limited amount of energy while my M.T.M can generate indefinitely. Both Boost and Pierce can be easily replicated. I could even tamper with Transfer.

There are many ways to make this better Sera. You forget that this gear was created close to 3000 years ago. They were not created to improve like the Juggernaut Drive or Balance Breaker Scale Mail. People in a sense are slowly breaking these toys. And since they are not receiving maintenance I won't be surprised if the stronger gears with beings sealed inside start to explode or break apart to some level." I said with a shrug.

"I thought he made them impossible to break…"

"Such thing doesn't exist. The Sacred Gears are resilient because of the alchemical metal they were created with. Now that I scanned the Boosted Gear I will be able to recreate this adaptable metal. But, like I said, there is a breaking point to them.

100 or 1000? Or maybe 10000 years. the weight of those souls would have made the host go insane quite quickly unless the host decided to deal with the previous hosts themselves." I explained to her while getting back on my seat.

"So… either the remnants of the souls or gears themselves…"

"The Scale Mails were not supposed to exist. It's a bug. Each time an excessive amount of Dragon energy leaves the gear it can damage the Sacred Gear.

Simply put. Don't use artefacts that are not meant to be used in that way

Even here… " I showed her the logs.

"The Gear had to adapt to 1340 different cases of burst of energy. While it survived and will survive much more in future there is always a chance it might just… break." I explained to her.

"I see… this means that you could simply create a gear which can and is supposed to achieve a Balance Breaker instead of being a bug in the system." She said with an understanding nod.

"And could simply upgrade it later in the day too. While these… they can't be upgraded unless they are back in Heaven and are pulled out from the system and going through maintenance. The worst part of this is that the user still has to have good relations with the dragon inside of it." I added more, by this point Serafall understood what she wanted to understand and disappeared with the brown-haired pervert.
