Asuka: "Let's talk inside the palace," she then goes inside the palace and into a room with a small table and 2 zabutons on the opposite sides of the table.

“I cannot sit there due to the constraints with the dexterity of my armor, and I am not allowed to remove it without imperial authority sadly. Is there another way this meeting can take place?” The man would say in his robotized voice.

The japanese co-prosperity sphere wrote:“The eyes have it. This bill is officially passed by both houses of His Serene Highness’ National Diet.”

The councilmen and women rise from their seats and go around shaking hands. Prime Minister Hayakawa breathes a sigh of relief before standing up.

Akihito snaps awake from what appears to have been an accidental nap. They are back on the bus shortly after for the drive to the National Modern Art Museum. It’s late afternoon when they finally arrive. The modern and sleek building. Akihito babbles excitedly about seeing a picture called the Wave off Kanagawa.

"I hear that they have a copy of the Kanazawa Bunko Map of Japan here, do you know if that's true?"

Akihito's Whintran friend would reunite with Noldo and he, showing a similar excitement for this stop.

Kemonomica wrote:Ekambir: "Oh, okay," he says, confused in what to do, he then takes a seat on the dining table near Mạnh Hùng. Mạnh Hùng sighs.

Mạnh Hùng: "Are you sure we are able to trust these people, I mean, they seem too welcoming to us, barely knowing how we act maybe," he whispers to Ekambir.

Ekambir: "You are right, but rather try to stay friendly and not get too animalistic in your behavior," he responded to Mạnh Hùng.

Soon after, the couple would step out of the kitchen, bringing the scent of food closer in the form of various serving basins. Two large bowls filled with mashed potatoes and dark blue berries respectively, as well as three plates covered in rabbit ribs, a great loaf of bread, and fried and spiced potato skins were delivered and placed on both the small dinner table and some extra stools now pulled from the side of the room now to act as extra table space.

"Well, the meal is prepared. Do please take what you like." Avn'tho offered the meal with a bow to the guests. From the living room, the couple's dog could be heard pittering and pattering its way over.

"Hazel Eeolande, is that your current leader?"
The University's yellow paint began to be noticiable against the dark streets of the city, across the road from the sidewalk she and Shellbell had taken.

Akihito's brow creases. "I do not know. Maybe. We can see."

They check the HD touch screen displays in the lobby, Akihito swiping through a map of the museum. "Here," he points to the Hall of Ancients wing on the third floor. The trio hop into an elevator, the walls of which are display screens showing fish swim around a pond. Akihito taps the wall and the closest "fish" startles and swims away. When they reach the Hall of Ancients, the sight is something to behold. The huge halls and rooms of the room are decorated with ancient artifacts, most of the them exact replicas. In some cases, a replica sits next to the authentic artifact, which has been charred beyond belief--a sad reminder of the Kyn invasion.

And now the NNS News Hour; this is Kiwasaki

Early this morning, His Majesty completed the three stages of enthronement; his majesty was presented with the ancient and sacred Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, Yasakani no magatama, and finally and most importantly, the Yata no Kagami. These sacred Three Treasures of Japan were given by the sun goddess to her grandson, and are several thousand years old--they are the center of Japanese religious beliefs. Next, His Majesty went through the ritual of Sokui-no-Rei, and at last, he went through the most important of all; the Daijō-sai, where he was united with Amaterasu, sharing in her divinity. The Emperor broke tradition and spoke to His subjects through a prerecorded clip that aired on NNS and other major news stations and websites.

"Subjects of the Empire, I address you today to give you My assurance that I will dutifully and competently carry out the great and sacred task handed down to Me by Our Imperial Ancestors. Today, we step into a new era of unmatched peace, order, and prosperity."

For foreigners, the speech may have seemed short and inconclusive, but for an Emperor to appear to His people at all is remarkably rare in Japan.

This is the NNS

The Garzo hears of this and congratulates the new Emperor on behalf of The Empire and it’s common wealths The Garzo also states that he looks forward to working with the Emperor and the Great nation of Japan.

Johan rests on Erisa and lists the activities they could do here, she jumps in excitement with exploring flowers and watching animals.

Erisa: “I do wish to see some flowers and see the animals here!” She says overflowing with excitement. Hardly able to contain herself.

Johan: "Alright let’s see the flowers and animals then." He says as he smiles.

He gets up and signals for Erisa to follow him. Once they are outside the palace, they walk through the fields of soft grass before coming across an area basically covered in wildflowers. They come in all different types of colors such as red, yellow, blue, violet and pink. Some flowers are tiny while others stick up 12 ft above the ground. In the distance they could see large brown cow-like beasts grazing on the rich grasses. These seem to be the bison that Johan was talking about.

Agustus nods and walks out of Plane Crash before he coughs blood muffled. Wondering why he cant speak.

He heads to Scarlett Jo once seen he turns around preparing to get Nina... Before he collapses to the ground with Metal Frame sticking through back of his neck and out of his mouth. He doesnt feel panicked Yet.... however moment He saw Bismarck and Bo arrive he pulled out Metal Frame and then blood came and he fainted.

Bismarck Arrived.

Bismarck puts Bo Down and begins to tend to Agustus wounds via Healing Life Magic and magical herbs.

Bismarck:"Go find Nina and others Bo. Let me know if any are more serious then Agustus."

Plane crash
Bo heads off looking for his twin sister Nina Ann as Scarlett jo is still screaming loudly for unknown reasons. Bo walks about 500 yards away from Bismarck and finds Nina laying on the ground unconscious. He looks at her then sees that her leg is severely damaged. He picks her up and walks her to Bismarck and sets her down.

Bo:"Nina is unconscious from I guess presumably blood loss. Her leg is severely damaged and is well barely a leg anymore...help her!"

Meanwhile
While Bismarck is treating Nina and Auggie,Bo goes to his younger sister Scarlett and kneels beside her to attempt to figure out what is wrong with her.

Bo:"Scarlett what's wrong,why are you screaming?"

Scarlett:"plane go crash...sissy hurt?!!?"

Bo:"sissy will be fine Scarlett but why you screaming?"

Scarlett looks around and stops screaming at the top of her lungs and then speaks.

Scarlett:"Awi...where...Awi...I need Awi...where sissy Awi?"

Bo takes a moment to process Scarlett's gibberish language and then it dawns on him that Ariana isnt here. He takes his sister's hand and they go looking for her before long they return to Bismarck and Auggie.

Bo:"Auggie, where is Ariana?"

Adels search
While Adel is in the woods that Bismarck and Bo were just in she stumbled across someone laying in the weeds barely conscious. The person is calling for help bit not very loudly..

Ari:"Help me...please someone help me...."

(If you don’t have anything like that then void this.)

LRSM (Long Range Strike missiles), the equivalent of a non nuclear ICBM begin collapsing small mountain sides in random bombing sprees carried out by the Akizuki Class warships of the fleet.

The expeditionary force approaches one key chokepoint—a mountain pass with little cover for their forces. The army halts, and helicopters begin strafing the area for enemies.

(( nah i dont sorry, we can say its a small quarry town just for the story tho ))

    The shaman focus allows for them to see the fast missles, and to react accordingly. Cloud cover and other outside forces may, and do, interfere with this, however. Goliath troops do still stick to covered places and areas unaffected by the bombing. At the moment, all the bombing does is anger them more. 
    
    The helicopters don't see any goliath troops. In fact, for most of the way, the venture has been quiet and uneventful.

The small town lies not far ahead. Yet the commanders halt their troops—the pass is obviously dangerous. On top of that, there is rumor that the new Emperor, His Majesty Meiji II, is keeping a close eye on His military...

After a day of planning, missiles strikes pummle the pass and a column of soldiers follows shortly after.

The troops are silent with apprehension.

Covert: King Palmowski HATES the new friendship between Empire of Goraand The japanese co-prosperity sphere, but bites his tongue nonetheless. His fear is that the Gorans will admit to wrongdoing during the war, and thus forcing him into the corner of doing so as well. Given Japan’s history of wanting compensation for the war, he does not want to take a chance and thus decides to make a speech

Public:

(Caifunaese News Network reports on a speech the king is doing.)

King Palmowski: it has come to my attention that people want me to address what happened in the war with the Dunmer, Japan, The Empire Of Gora, and others. Radical Anti-Caifuanese terrorists want to label the whole thing a genocide. Well, as many historians will tell you, it was not, I repeat was NOT a genocide. I do not show remorse for what had happened. I do not show pity for what had occurred as a result of a two-sided war. Innocent people were killed on both sides. Caifu is not responsible for what was simply a war between two nations. I do wish for peace and prosperity between us and Japan, but it was a war that we had happened to win. There was no genocide involved. Conspiracy theorists spreading propaganda about alleged Japanese being captured and had experiments conducted on them *he giggles but covers it up by coughing* are nothing more than Left-Wing nutjobs that seek nothing more than destruction of the land that we have been fighting many years for and have been oppressed in. I love our land. I love our people. This idea that we had any wrongdoing is fake news spread by foreign adversaries. True Japanese patriots will even acknowledge our country’s history, and the simple fact that it was just a war that we are aiming to get past. It starts with the truth about history, one that has been meddled with decades later. May god bless you all”

*The King returns to the village where the former Caifuanese government official is being held. He cracks open a beer laced with shrooms (a common custom in Caifu, nothing malicious) and hands it to him.*

King: It is a tradition in Caifu now just to let you know. One of the only Portsmouthian traditions carried on to Caifu. It’s really good if you can stomach the bitter aftertaste. Anyways, as you had just seen, I think it’s good to be honest when I say that Japanese were experimented on, and I quite frankly do not care. You’ll eventually end up in the same way I’m sure. Until then, if you want to at least discuss politics with me, then let’s do so in a friendly manner.

She would then turn back to the officer. "My lovely Hasegawa Chiyo your golems are a sight of art. A Platoon of War Angels can do for now something to keep close at hand. Maybe more in the future but for now quality over quantity I fear don't wish to break the vault in one visit. For your Angels what is the underlying skeleton I would suggest my crystal shaping for creation of their skeleton along with your extra shocks. Would you be willing to have one of them try and reach its maximum mana levels I wish to view it and maybe test its combat aswell before we see your legendary Kamikishi." Celosia eyes would start to glow amber. "I also have another topic at hand for later if you would humor me for more of your time. As you see my skyhold above there are designs for a grander one soon."

"Money is one thing but we have had our eyes on some of your advancements, Celosia, memory data exchange, mana vision, eye creation, and even your Precipitable Water Mass Release Device. Indeed the first three would help greatly in engineering and research, being able to directly share thoughts and evaluating the flow of mana through our conduits, it would lead to far more efficient inventions in the future. The PWMRD is supposedly a weapon, that much is certain, but we have had some thoughts as to developing a weaker version for agricultural use." said Hasegawa. "Now, what's this about a new skyhold?"

Nothing happens at all until a dollar flows in the breeze bearing the face of some noticeable foreign leader. Then nothing.

A group of small avian like beings peek over a small hill and notice the creatures. "Yuck! I can smell their heretical fish stench a mile off, my lord!" He handed the binoculars to a taller Avali wearing a black shoulder cape and officers cap. He had an eye patch." They pollute our lands. My lands, with their presence! This is unnaceptable!" The Avali spoke in a shrill and rather flamboyant voice. "Shall we hew their bones in sunder?" One of the soldiers asked.

"No! Not yet. I want to see them gone from my beautiful free utopia! I bet they worship some dirty human religion, oooh! I could jus-"

Another group showed up behind them wearing black and yellow uniforms. "Back off our slaves! These ones are ours for the taking! I claim them in the name of Lord-Governor Jasun! I will not have you mercenaries still my property! This is my free market utopia and you are just living in it!" The two groups promptly started fighting behind the hill. "My glorious realm!" The black uniformed one yelled and Jasun responded "No mine!"

"Gentlemen gentlemen, please calm down." Another Avali walked on the scene with a cocky smile. He and his group were wearing red uniforms and berets. "I believe we should work together to drive these creatures from our lands." Jasun pinning the other to the ground looked up and the black uniformed Avali looked up as well. "Aah, Jasun, Neso." Neso looked up while being pinned and yelled "The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy! You socialist fooooool!" Jasun and the Neso looked at each other "Beat them up!" The two groups swarmed up on the red shirts and started beating them. They were bound to get no where.

”And now the NNS News Hour. This is Kiwasaki;”

In response all sides of Japan’s National Diet condemned the insult. The Caifuanese Embassy was closed and relations with Caifu have been suspended. All diplomatic officials were deported earlier today.

The Japanese Government posted several famous videos, including the famed picture of a little girl standing between her injured mother and a Caifuanse soldier brandishing a weapon.

“In regards to statements made by the Caifuanese government,” said Prime Minister Hayakawa to the press, “I am disappointed. I think it’s a well known fact and a fact that can easily be proven that genocide and the mass abduction of Japanese civilians and soldiers.”

The Imperial Japanese Army released a statement saying “As a nation that has done wrong and denied it for many a millennia, it is known to the subjects of His Majesty that Justice must come before pride.”

The Caifuanese ambassador to Japan was formally summoned to Kiwasaki Castle where he was personally dismissed before the Emperor.

In other news, Japan has offered Gora a non aggression pact if they would sever standing alliances with Caifu. Japan would also lower tariffs on Goran imports by 30%.

“This the NNS.”

Sluporia not only points out how outrageous it is to have over 30% tariffs on a nation for no reason, but also warns the Japanese that any attempts to break apart Sluporian alliances or the NAC will not be tolerated under any circumstances, and any future efforts of Japan to do so will be met with a harsh response.

Japanese laws have a standard tariff of 40% on foreign goods. It’s an old law made by the Uehara administration in 1072 meant to fix the broken national economy. The now defunct law is currently being voted on by the National Diet. Tariffs will likely be lowered significantly once the law is voted out of legislation.

A statement from the Japanese Embassy in Sluporia demanded the country not interfere in matters concerning genocide against the Japanese people. Four million people in total and thirteen trillion Yen were lost in the war. Japan will comply if Sluporia will refund them for what Caifu stole and destroyed.

    Almost like clockwork, boulders start rolling down on top of the Japanese soldiers from the nearby  mountains. The ash and dust created by the boulders and rocks conceal the Goliath troops behind the attack. The rocks block the way forward and back for the troops. 
    
    Soon enough, heavy amounts of water and ice pour upon the Japanese, picking up rocks, sticks, and other debris.
