302 # 287 Negotiations with the Reich Empire.txt (2/2)

That's how far I was willing to go.

I don't want that to happen... won't it make those negotiations less effective?

'Very perceptive.

You're right. So I will show you the equipment beforehand. And if you'll just follow the same rules as last time, I promise to show you what you want to see.

That's all the Emperor needs to know about my aim. His Majesty the Emperor laughs.

''I see!　Looks like you're one of us!　So that's not all, is it?

Of course.

I told them everything I wanted to do, and the conversation ended with His Majesty the Emperor taking my side of the bargain.

As negotiated, I left as soon as possible to show the engineers of the Reich Empire the weapons of the Ex Machina.

In the throne room, a knight speaks to His Majesty the Emperor.

''May I?''

That's all right. I'm just a guy with a better story to tell.

Isn't this guy dangerous?

It's dangerous. But it's better if you turn it against them. If we do nothing, it won't do us any harm. All you have to do is just keep sucking honey.

The knight nodded at the Emperor's words.

''I see. Quirky. Your Majesty the Emperor.''

Do you think so?

What do you mean?

He's not a sweetheart who just lets you keep sucking honey. You only use that kind of person when you have to.

And the Emperor calls out to someone.

”Continue to watch. But never touch it.

Those who had been hiding move in unison.

'Do as you have just heard.

Ha!

Thus, unbeknownst to the dark summoners, the gears had gone haywire.

I was finally released by the Reich Empire technicians and was able to log out. I was going to hate the technicians...I was already having a hard time with all the questions.

Soaking in the bath, I soaked up the exhaustion. I was so nervous about the Emperor's visit because I was so nervous. Plus, I was being watched all the time, and it was hard as hell.

I got out of the bath and had just finished cooking when Kayo's sister called me on the video phone.

Hello. It's your brother after the bath.

'Don't bother trying to show off your bath, and you're my brother!　So how did the negotiations go?

It's a perfect fit. How about you?

We're in good shape. The rest is up to you.

I'm going to put pressure on you. Then Kayo's sister speaks with a determined look on her face.

'To be honest, I'm complicated. I want you to continue playing the game, but I also want you to stop. I feel like Sei-kun is not my Sei-kun anymore since I started playing the game.

I'm trying to be me, but it certainly feels like the old me is coming back to me now that I've started playing the game. But I can only be me.

I'm sure that I'm changing. ”I may be changing, but I'm still me. But I'm still me. I'm the same as I was then. I'm going to fight for the people I care about. That's all I am.

I see. That's a relief to hear. But there's a lot of danger in equating us with Lily and the others!

Really?

For me, it's the same thing.

'Huh...I'm serious. Well, that's okay now. Don't make little Lilly and the others sad, okay?

Who are you talking to?

It's for you, pedophile. So, good luck with your game.

Hey, wait a minute. Hey, wait a minute. He hung up.

Lily and the others are growing up, so it's okay to end the pedophiles and childhood samonas for good. I ate my food while saying the words I couldn't say to anyone in my mind. Finally, the duel with the dark summoner begins.
