Then, Kurumi stands up from her seats, took the laptop and the comms device on her hands, then head out to outside of the navigation room
The smokes from the destroyed base still fills the surroundings, her step is deliberate towards the fortress
Then, shes walking to the Fortress Main Frame Room...
After inside the Main Frame Room, she then connects the laptop on her hands to the Main Frame Main Systems
She takes a deep breath, readying herself of what she was about to do, she fix her glasses first
Then, after she was able to get in into the system controls and connects it to the National Comms Network, she delivers something shocking to the whole country
"Attention the entire Puppet State Of Nihingo and Federation Of Nihin" Her voice heard through the comms, instantly, the entire national rebellion paused for a second
Kouhei and Yui began to listening intendly, still in their positions in Takuyura's highest building
Yui then speak to Kouhei
"Kouhei...how...?"
Kouhei just smiled with lots of confidence
"Dont worry, everything will be same just as planned, i know this would happen, and now whats next..." Says Kouhei with a hidden smirk in his face
Yui, who was seeing this, notice the hidden smirk in Kouhei's lips, she thought to herself
"He really planned all of this in just matter of seconds while im speeching my declaration as the Empress? How?"
Then, Kurumi continues
"This is my declaration, I am Takahashi Kurumi, Executive Officer of 7th Battalion Brigade Army of Takuyura District"
"Sir Zateg, The Emperor's Adviser, and Sir Doguffron, The Minister Of Law and Order, now was dead..."
The news of the death of Zateg and Doguffron was a massive blow to Beast Race Imperial Guards, the panics spread among the Beast Race in Nihin
"Wh-what?! Theyre dead?!"
"N-no way!!"
"Sh-shes able to kill and defeat some of Beastrion strongest general!?"
Then, Kurumi continues her speech
"In order to fix current void of commands in the Imperial Army, ive decided to step in into the hands of commands of Imperial Army"
"Now, that Puppet State Of Nihingo no longer exist, the Imperial Army that are established as Puppet State Of Nihingo defense force no longer exist"
"Under my command, "Imperial Army Of Puppet State Of Nihingo", will now re-named into "Armed Forces Of The Nihin Federation"
"And also, "The National Police Of Puppet State Of Nihingo" will be renamed to "Police Of The Federation" under my commands"
"Yes, even The National Police now was under my control, following the establishment of Nihin Federation"
"The current new legitimate established country that have declared independence from puppetation of Beastrion Empire"
"Yes, from this day, and moment foward, Armed Forces Of The Nihin Federation and The Police Of The Federation is established, and now will serve under the flag of Federation Of Nihin"
All of the Beast Race was now are facing the horror of their nightmare: the country that theyve been stepping on, was now fighting back...
But then, Kurumi speaks again
"And with that, i also call for an ceasefire for all the rebellion of Federation Of Nihin and old faction of Puppet State Of Nihingo throught the country of Nihin"
"And...requesting for a meetings with Federation Of Nihin's Prime Minister and Empress"
"Tanaka Kouhei and Yui Nishimura at Main Frame Room of Nihin Armed Forces Fortress" And with that...Kurumi ends the broadcast
And, it shocks the entire peoples in Nihin
"What?! Is that really the famous Takahashi Kurumi?! The Ultimate Detective?!"
"What is she going to do next?!"
"I dont know! Shes just said that she wants to meet our new Prime Minister and our majesty Yui"
"Is shes going to trown both of them away?!"
"It could happen, but lets pray that its not..."
Upon hearing this, Yui was shocked too
"Shes...calling to meet us at Imperial Soldier's Fortress Main Frame Room?"
Then, Kouhei just casually stands up and strech his body
"Mhm...agh, thats good, oh well, Yui-san, if Kurumi-san wants to meet us, then we have to meet her, lets go"
But then, Yui speaks again to Kouhei
"Is this...is this really okay? Im...kinda scared"
Then, Kouhei reassure Yui
"Hey, its fine, i know shes not going to kill us"
Then, Yui ask again
"How do you know that?"
Then, Kouhei answered
"Well, shes from the same world as me, and in my world, we have an high-moral ethics"
"And plus...i already know what kind of person is Takahashi Kurumi was from my infiltration, so dont worry,, Yui-san"
Then, Kouhei reach his hands out to Yui
"We got this together, now come on, we have a meeting with our new country's Army Chief Commander..."
Then, Yui grab Kouhei's hands, then, Kouhei pull Yui up, but, as Kouhei was about to let her hand go, Yui do not let his hand go
Yui speak in a low tone
"Cant...cant we keep this? Atleast..until we got there?"
Then, noticing how nervous and shaking she was, despite her fiery Federation Of Nihin independence declaration speech
Then, Kouhei gripped Yui's hands a bit tighter this time, and then speak to her
"Yes, sure, why not? Okay, come on, lets go" Says Kouhei as he start to walk
Yui then following Kouhei's steps while nodding
"Yes, lets go...Kouhei"
Then, both of them goes to meet Kurumi in the Armed Forces Of Nihin Federation Fortress's Main Frame room
The crowds of people opening a way for Kouhei and Yui and began to rally Yui and Kouhei along the way, and some of the new Police Of The Federation from the defecting National Police is willing to escort them two
"Majesty Yui! Sir Kouhei! Take care!"
"Yeah! We peoples of Nihin supports you two!"
"Majesty Yui and Sir Kouhei! Let me and my subordinates escort you two to the Fortress Main Frame!"
"Sir Kouhei! Majesty Yui! We always support you two!"
"Long live Majesty Yui! Long live Sir Kouhei!"
"Yeah!!"
Says the crowds as they rallying and escort both of them towards the Fortress
"Long live Majesty Yui, Long live Sir Kouhei, All Hail our Empress, and All Hail our Prime Minister!" Shouts one of the crowds leader
And then, the crowds start to chanting that along the way
After a while, after finally crossing the Military Special Zone, Yui and Kouhei finally arrives at the hill path to the HQ of Armed Forces Of The Nihin Federation
Then, a group soldier of the Armed Forces approached Yui and Kouhei, the crowds was alerted and make a shield
But then Yui speaks to the crowds
"My people, dont do that, its fine, me and Prime Minister will be okay, these people of the Armed Forces means no harm"
Then, the crowds was a bit relieved, and start to backdown behind Yui and Kouhei
Then, the soldiers speaks to Yui
"My majesty, and Sir Kouhei, this way please"
Yui nods
"Okay then, lead the way"
Then, both of them are escorted by the soldiers to the Fortress
At the gate, Hofurz was already waiting in there, his eyes widening as he sees Yui's face, and then speaks
"My majesty! Youre alive!"
Yui, recognized Hofurz's face, then nods and smiles at him
"Yes, teacher, im here, im still alive"
Hofurz then wipe a tear that come out from his eyes and then speaks again
"Thank god youre still alive, i thought you're dead after the Imperial Family purge by the Beastrion Empire"
But then, Hofurz's face frowns
"And...my majesty, im sorry, im sorry...i couldnt save your parent, i cant save Emperor and Empress! Im..."
But then, Yui speaks again, in a soft, reassuring tone
"Its okay, Hofurz, its not your fault, its never your fault, you're still doing your best"
Then, Hofurz looks at Yui, his face then relaxes a bit, before finally steadying himself
"My majesty, and Sir...um, whats your name again? Young man?" Ask Hofurz to Kouhei
Then, Kouhei put his hands in his waist and put his hands in his head, posing dramatically
"My name is Tanaka Kouhei! The best NETT In the whole world!" Says Kouhei with confidence
Yui just sighed again, though out of amusement
"Really? In this time?"
Then, Hofurz chuckles a bit, amused by Kouhei's action
"Hah, i like you already, young man"
"This way, My majesty, Sir Kouhei" Says Hofurz as he guides them towards the Main Frame Room
As they entered the Main Frame Room, Kurumi is already sitting in the edge of the long table along with other Grandmasters of Hofurz
"Greetings, My majesty Yui..."
"And...Sir Kouhei" Says Kurumi with a hint of compressed anger when the name Kouhei rolled off her mouth
Kouhei and Yui then nods before finally sit down in the other corner seat of the table
Hofurz then also take a seat not far from Yui
Then, Kurumi turns around her seat to finally face Yui and Kouhei, fixing her glasses again before speaking again
"Im glad you two came" Says Kurumi
Then, Kouhei replies
"Yes, we came, but, its not for Yui, am i right?"
"Called an meeting with both of the highest positiones person in this country? Usually, in our old world, only the Prime Minister that comes as the deligacy"
"You know that, dont you? Kurumi?" Says Kouhei to Kurumi
The silence and the preasure in the air between Kouhei and Kurumi tighthening, then, Kurumi speaks again
"So, you are from Earth too, huh?"
Kouhei replies
"Yes, i am, and i know youre also from Earth, the moment i heard the name of "Kurumi" are not common in a world like this, you know?" Says Kouhei to Kurumi
Then, Kurumi speaks again
"Clever one, hm...if im not wrong, youre 16, judging from your face"
Kouhei then smirks a bit, before speaking again
"Ah, right on point, The Ul- No, Kurumi is very smart, just like anyone says"
Then, Kurumi speaks again
"Enough with the chit chat, Kouhei"
"For straightfoward, Kouhei, im still not able to forgive you for what you did to me"
"Manipulating me into a state of despair buly triggering my trauma...then comfort me with your fake self, and then died to make me the weapon of your revolutions..."
"Youre not that diffrent from Kouhmah, in that sense..."
But then, Kurumi paused, before continuing again
"Yet, 180° degree diffrent"
"You...you opened my eyes, opening the hidden self within my heart, the problems ive always asking myself about"
"Am i worth of love? Worth of something precious?"
"That time, if it wasnt for you, i will continue to suffer from the guilt built within me, the guilt of assisting the destruction of Humanity..."
"If it wasnt for you, im maybe never know what it feels like to be cared by someone"
"But still, my actions is still a sin, ive killed, killed to many lives, i know theyre bad, but murder is still a murder" Says her as she was about to crying
But then, Kouhei speaks again
"Kurumi"
Then, Kurumi lifts her head to face Kouhei, starteled by his voice
"H-huh? Yes?"
Then, Kouhei start to speaks
"Youve murdered a lot of people, i know, im the one who made you did it"
"Im not gonna avoid it, it is my fault, manipulating you into taking out lives of a living being"
"But...i want to make it up for you"
Then, Kouhei continue again after take a breath
"Kurumi, i want you to listen to me, closely, okay?"
Kurumi, upon hearing Kouhei's word, her curiousity piqued
"What is it?"
Then, Kouhei stands up from his seat, before finally speaking
"Kurumi, all of your murder, all of the lives youve killed, all of them"
"Its never your fault, not even the slightest"
Upon hearing that, everyone is shocked by Kouhei's word, Kurumi's eyes is widening upon hearing it, but unable to object
Then, Kouhei continue to speaks
"Kurumi, i will be the one who carry your sins, all of the lives youve taken, let me the one who carries it!"
"Im the one who orchestrated all of this, im aware of my actions, youre just a person who was trapped and used by me"
"I will take responsibility of your actions! Let me carry your sins!"
"Then, if youre still hated me, you can do anything to me as this events over, even as far as killing me..."
"Those...whos using people to kill another people, have to be ready to be killed again"
"Thats what ive learned from an anime ive watched"
Upon hearing it, Yui, Hofurz, and all the grandmaster are starteled, but, none of their shock are compared to Kurumi
Shes expecting Kouhei to make an excuses such as "its for the revolutions" or something similar, yet, none of her guesses are correct
Kouhei doesnt run away, he bear his actions, he embrace it, and take responsbility of his actions
But then, Kouhei speaks again
"In exchange, you have to help me, only this once if you want"
Then, Kurumi finally speaking again, but she have to use her arm as an pillar for her from collapsing to the table
"You...are you serious about what youre saying, Kouhei?"
Kouhei replies
"Yes, im serious about this, im willing to die, if thats an exchange for saving this country from an threat we never seen..."
Upon hearing it, Kurumi was confused by Kouhei's last word
"A threat we never seen...?"
Then, for the first time in the whole meeting, Yui finally speaks again
"Yes..."
"A threat, that are so large, that it could be the end of the world"
