“Isn’t different particularly good?”
Uttering those words with a broad smile, was the one mostly devoted to Isshi, Premier .
Her lovely hair swayed as she raised her adorable lips .
Her charming proportions coupled with her sensuality were… .
“Hmmm?”
The words said by the first of the homunculi, caused the perplexed Isshi to raise his voice .
“Master previously said that in order for us homunculi to be accepted by the people, we need to build something like a school and educated their character from an early age . Then spread something like scriptures, wherein the writing only speaks of the goodness of the homunculus, weren’t you saying something like that?”
That was so, but Isshi then muttered .
“You girls are still discriminated against, being seen with eyes full of hostilities whilst unpleasantly make us secluded from the population . At least from this population, there must be a small group of fellows who sympathizes with you girls’ situation . ”
When he said so Premier plainly said,
“However, isn’t it fine either way?”
She repeated the same words .
Eeeh? However,Premier’s smiles sweetly at Isshi while firmly saying .
“To us, Isshi-sama is the only importance . The other humans are nothing more than trivial beings . ”
To Premier who declared that with a pleasant smile Isshi said, “No, but” .
“Because we need to get along with them in the future, even a little interaction would rather convenient…”
Premier nods towards Isshi’s words while muttering “Indeed”,
“Well, let’s say that we abduct all of the human children . No, if possible only the orphans would be necessary . Then, we plant the ideology of homunculi goodness into those experimental children . Next, we set them free once they grow up and let them merged into normal human society . They’ll skillfully slip into the Kingdoms and the Church and start the occupying them respectively . Thus, allowing them to create advantageous policies for homunculi from the inside . ”
What she spoke of was a strategy that a villain would use and hearing it caused Isshi to break out into a cold sweat . Before they could continue the discussion a 「knock knock」 sound gently rang from the door .
“The preparation is ready~ . Everyone has been gathered in the reception hall~ . ”
Verde, who showing her face from the door gap, informed them of the situation .
“All right, let’s go . By the way Premier, that conversation just now, put it all together in a document as a contingency plan . It’s like an evil plan . However, it’s not a bad plan . ”
“As expected of Master . I’ll put it together immediately . ”
. . .
. .
.
“Premier step forward . ”
“As you command, Master . ”
Of the 1000 homunculi which were gathered in the grand hall, a remarkable amount of activity could be seen in anticipation for this decoration .
The reason for such activity was that the official war against the Kingdom was about to begin .
(Our country, still lacks an organization which truly handles military affairs . It was good that we only faced a group that was only slightly above hoodlums in Jirumu, but from now on that would not the case anymore . We have to organize this as soon as possible . Everything has to be planned just right . )
Since the Jirumu has been occupied, the Lord who reigns over the northern region, Duke Roberto, will sooner or later become aware of this unfavorable situation .
Since that’s the case, army designed to bring us down will eventually come . For this reason … . .
“Then, I grant this Ring of Mithril to Premier as a proof of Sainthood . As well as appoint you to the position of Marshal . ”
“I shall gladly receive them both my Master . ”
She said so as the ring was placed on her ring finger . When she looked up at Isshi’s face afterward, she couldn’t help but lovingly sigh and blush .
(Though the proper arrangement should have been on the index finger …)
“U, um, my order is for you to bring an army together . ”
“Yes”, Premier replied with her most cheerful voice before returning to her previous location .
(Err what was that? Aah, oh yeah . When the decoration proceedings over with let’s decide our force’s ranking . )
It’s still difficult to decide the girls’ rankings because it hasn’t been long, but it’s important for our future that that matter is settled . However, if a vague ranking is decided, it might cause unnecessary discord among the girls .
(Maybe I’m thinking too much . However, it’s understandable that emotions might be high, considering the decoration combined with the appointment of individual ranks . )
In a sense, this decoration ceremony was a way for Isshi to hasten the formation of the military .
“Then, Arge, Nacht, both of you step forward . ”
“It’s my honor . ” “Understood-dayo!”
Their answers came in unison, Arge, with her silver hair trailing over her shoulders, stepped forward while dragging the raven-haired and tan-skinned Nacht along with her .
“You girls showed your worth as the Death God and Fierce God . As a proof of your accomplishments, I grant you this Necklace of Spinel and Bracelet of Garnet respectively . As will as simultaneously appointed you as the left and right Generals of the Army . Each of you shall receive 400 homunculi to command based on the Marshal’s decision and shall directly serve her .
“Acknowledged, Yakata-sama . Entrust it to me . I will eliminate all of Yakata’s enemies on this continent and present their heads to you as a gift . ”
“You can count on me! I’ll mow down all the enemies that stand before my eyes . For Goshoujin-sama’s sake, I’ll clear any thorns that appear on your path!”
As each of them accepted their accessories, they began to stare up at Isshi .
They seem to be waiting for him to say something
“Ahem, they look very suitable for you . ”
They looked at each other before returning to their place line with wide grins plastered on their faces .
“Th, then, Claire, Mallon, step forward . ”
