# 287 Negotiate with Reich Empire

Finish your lunch, take a break, and then log in.

I'm being dropped off by Mr. Ruin and headed to Freetier Castle, where the messengers are. I meet with the messengers of the Reich Empire after Princess Sarah and Henri told me to be careful.

"Are you the summoner of Xmakina?

"Yes, my name is Tact the Summoner"

"Uhm. Can you show me some evidence?

"Okay. Come on, Ikes!

I summon Ikes. Now it would be a mistake for me to be Ikes' summoner.

"It's definitely Xmakina. So what can I do for you?

"I would like to speak directly with His Majesty the Emperor of your country about my duel with the Dark Summoner tonight."

"Ha? I don't know why I talk to His Majesty the Emperor of our country about the duel."

Well, don't hang up on me.

"Really... so you can't help it. I give up. Could you please give a message to His Majesty the Emperor of your country?

"Let's hear what you have to say before we judge"

I approach and speak to the messengers of the Reich Empire.

"It is now certain that the future you will see in Xmaquina and its weapons will be lost."

"Huh!?

"That's it. Thank you for your message. Now if you'll excuse me."

"Oh, wait! I would like to know the meaning of your earlier message!"

You ate it. Well, we're just gonna have to eat it.

"Oh? Didn't you know? My Xmakina is working with my magic. If I lose to the Dark Summoner, Xmakina will run wild and run out of all energy. If that happens, Xmakina will never start again. Naturally, it's impossible to see weapons."

Because this is a lie. The Ikes story says that even if the contract expires, if you re-sign it in a capsule and let the magic flow, Ikes will get back to normal.

"Conversely, even if I beat the Dark Summoner, I no longer intend to negotiate with your country again. That's all we're talking about."

"... is that to say that we will negotiate with our country about Xmakina?

"Yes. Can you catch it?

"... please wait a moment"

The messenger talks to someone. I come here when the conversation is over.

"... His Majesty the Emperor is going to see you. I'll show you."

"Best regards,"

That's a first door breach.

I am teleported to the Reich Empire by a messenger and enter the Reich Empire's royal castle. And meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Reich Empire.

"Are you the summoner of Xmakina?

"Yes. My name is Tact the Summoner. Thank you for allowing me to see you this time. Your Majesty."

"For my country, because I decided it was important. Tell me what to do."

"Yes, I want to negotiate with you about the weapons that Xmakina will use."

His Majesty the Emperor narrows his eyes.

What do you want from me?

"Tonight's duel takes over the rules we had last time, and we want to fight them with a fair trial."

Then His Majesty the Emperor slaps the railings, stands up, and exasperates his anger.

"Do you think there will be injustice in our country's dueling grounds!!

"That's not what I'm saying. I just want you to promise me a few rule changes and a fair trial."

"I'll do as much as I want, but is that all you need?

"Yes, my only hope is to settle with the Dark Summoner in a proper duel"

His Majesty the Emperor will look closely at me.

"As a result, if you lose, what are you not going to do?

"I mean, I was that guy."

"That's troubling… won't the earlier negotiations be effective anymore?

That's sharp.

"Exactly. So I'm going to show you my gear in advance. And if you make the same rules as last time, I promise to show you what your country wants to see."

It seems that only then did His Majesty the Emperor understand my aim. His Majesty the Emperor laughs.

"I see! You're like us, apparently! So that's it?

"Absolutely."

I told him everything I had in mind, and the Emperor's ride into my negotiations ended the conversation.

As negotiated, I quickly withdrew to show the Reich engineers the weapons of Xmakina.

One knight speaks to His Majesty the Emperor between the thrones.

"Do you mind?

"I don't mind. I'm not just gonna get on with a better story."

"That man... isn't he dangerous?

"It's going to be dangerous. Then turn that to the enemy. If you don't do anything from here, there's no harm. Just do nothing and keep breathing honey."

The knight nods to the words of His Majesty the Emperor.

"I see. It's a boulder. Your Majesty."

"You think so?

"Say...?

"That man is not a sweet person enough to just let me keep smoking honey. The man with that hand only uses it when he uses it."

And His Majesty the Emperor speaks with someone.

"Surveillance continues. But don't ever give a shit."

Those who were hiding move together.

"Act as you heard earlier."

"Ha."

Thus the gear went wild before the Dark Summoners knew it.

I was finally freed by Reich engineers to log out. I'm going to hate technicians... it was hard with all the questions already.

Soak up tiredness while soaking up the bath. I was so nervous about the Emperor's visit. Besides, I've been under constant surveillance, and I'm stuck with boulders.

I get out of the bath and my Yoshiyo sister tells me when I'm done cooking.

Hello, this is my brother in the bathroom.

"You don't have to bother appealing to me to take a bath, and you're my brother from me! So how was the negotiation?

"It's just that. What about you?"

"We're just too. It's up to you."

Put pressure on it. Then Yoshiyo-sister speaks in the way she decides to.

"Honestly, I'm complicated. I have a desire to keep the game going and a desire to stop it. I kind of feel like you've been gone ever since I started the game."

I'm going to, but it sure feels like I'm back in time for the game. But after all, I can only be me.

"Maybe it's definitely changing. But I'm me. It's no different. Same as then. I fight for my loved ones. That's all."

"... well. I'm relieved to hear that. But it's not safe to identify us with Lily!

"Really?

From me, it's the same thing.

"Huh... I'm serious. Well, not now. Don't let Lily and the others grieve you, okay?

"Who are you telling me?

"It's on you because of Loricon. Well, good luck with the game."

"Hey. Wait, wait. Damn it."

Lily and the others are growing up, so come on, Lorikon and Toddler Girl Summoner will be fine by the end. I had dinner, with words in my heart that I could not say to anyone. Finally, a duel begins with the Dark Summoner.
