Chapter 446: Klein Kingdom is… (1/2)
Although they went very off topic there, they still ended up returning to the original topic at the end-how to deal with Klein Kingdom.
“Jin, what do you plan to do?”
“Hmmm… I didn’t really plan on doing anything really… it’s a bother.”
Reinhardt let out a small laugh hearing his answer, but he wore a serious face the very next moment and warned Jin.
“That’s no good. Not only will they take you lightly, nothing will change on their side. And the fact that they won’t change means that they’ll probably do something similar again.”
“Yea, that’s probably what’s going to happen.”
“Just think about it, if these gigantic centipedes had made their way to Kaina village and there were casualties, could you have been as carefree?”
Jin’s expression stiffened.
“That is true. A firm response would be needed in such a case.”
“My lord, let us use Machina’s name.”
Laojun suggested.
“My lord is soft, Machina is hard. Let’s differentiate it like that.”
Hearing that, Stearleana voiced her doubt.
“Who is this Machina?”
“It is my lord’s other face.”
“Ah, as I thought. I thought I heard it before during the dispute…”
Stearleana understood.
“The one who saved those 4 is Machina. As such, let us use Machina’s name to give a warning to the kingdom.”
“But then, they might look into Jin and Machina’s relation, you know?”
“Officially, Machina has saved the four from the kingdom, as such, let us send them a warning as Machina.”
“They might look into Jin and Machina’s relationship in such a case, you know?”
“In that case, we could say that Machina is my lord’s senior as a disciple.”
Reinhardt nodded after pondering for a while.
“Right, I think it would also be better if we add that Jin and Machina aren’t that close.”
“Then we could say that my lord became a disciple after Machina became independent.”
“That should do it. Well, I doubt they would come ask in the first place, though.”
“How about we send them a few pieces of the chopped up gigantic pede?”
“Of course, with a document blaming the Klein Kingdom as well.”
Reinhardt and Laojun kept progressing the talk by themselves.
“Let’s also send a part of the broken general use golem. After all, we will be repairing them with 18-12 stainless steel instead of 5-½ nickel.”
By sending them a portion of the exterior, they would be letting the kingdom know what foolish move they made.
“How about we also send the ones responsible in Toka village along with it?”
“Yeah, that sounds good. Um, Bolton, Heintz, the coachman and… Viscount Buyer, was it?”
“Yes.”
“Alright, take ‘em out during nighttime and send them off to Alban.”
It seems Jin was quite angry as he could see the destroyed general-use golem lying in the corner.
4th of July, early dawn.
It would be fine to send it to Klein Kingdom’s royal castle via the transmission device. The Quinta in charge of Alban, Spica 7, was able to send it with minimal error.
Same day, in the morning.
There was a huge uproar in front of the royal palace in Alban, Klein Kingdom.
“W-what is, this?”
“Is it a centipede monster?”
“Who is there? ……M-Mr. Bolton? Even Heintz Lash!”
“Also Viscount Buyer!”
“…And who is that? The coachman?”
A piece of the centipede, a piece of the broken golem and the VIPs there were lying in front of the royal castle unconscious. There’s no way it would not turn into an uproar.
Considering that the piece is of a centipede of 10 meter length. It was a threat in and of itself.
“There’s a letter too? …For the Klein Kingdom’s King? The sender is… Deus Ex Machina?!”
“Call the prime minister!”
