105 For the future!
"Say... why don't we just get married?" Ernesta was decisive as she stared at Tamazuki with a serious gaze. She wasn't joking since this was what she truly felt. "If I am not enough, then you can have Camilla too."
"Ernesta!"
This time Camilla lost her calm!
Camilla knew that she had given half of her life to Ernesta, but Ernesta dared to tell her to marry someone carelessly, like someone gave candy to another, making her unable to control her emotion. Her cool-like mask on her face was also broken, and a blush appeared on her olive-colored skin.
The two of them might be the leaders of their respective factions on the Arlequint Academy, but they knew for themselves that it was impossible for them to have something that had an equivalent value to his knowledge. Then, what should they do? It was better to marry him!
The benefit of marrying him was one thing, but they knew their best assets were themselves.
Whether Ernesta or Camilla were geniuses, if not, then how could they become the heads of their respective factions?
Still, the reason Ernesta dared to marry him wasn't because of the benefit. Instead, it was because she could tell that he was gentle to his woman. If not? Then, how could Julis, this prickly princess, fall for him and become an obedient woman that only loved him?
Such a man... if Ernesta didn't grab him, then she knew she would regret it in the future.
Yet, unlike Ernesta, who was excited, thinking about her married life, Camilla hesitated since Ernesta's words reminded her about her condition. She wasn't like Ernesta or Julis, who were complete. Half of her body was made from a puppet as she was almost dying from the terrorist attack during her childhood.
Who wanted to marry someone like her?
"Ernesta..." Camilla grabbed Ernesta's laboratory coat.
Erneta, who was careless and thoughtless, shut instantly. Maybe, she was a genius, but she was also a woman.
However, Julis was different.
"Tamazuki, let's go back. You can't stay in this place anymore! All of them are sluts!"
Julis tried to pull him, but he didn't move. She was in shock, then looked at him in confusion. "Tamazuki..."
"Calm down, Julis. They are joking. Aren't you tired of getting angry all the time? And, did you not believe me?"
"...."
Julis saw his eyes calm like the surface of the lake before she sighed, then sat on his side obediently.
This surprised Ernesta and Camilla since they knew how loud this princess was. Still, at the same time, they realized that the reason why Julis was so loud before was that Tamazuki let her do so, but when he told her to be quiet, then she wouldn't bother him.
Julis had 100% trust in him since she knew whatever he did must have a purpose, and for one thing, he would never lose.
"How about we start the exchange since I am sure that none of us want to waste their time."
"How about marriage?" Ernesta didn't give up.
Tamazuki looked at Ernesta and softly said, "We don't know each other well, and if you marry me so carelessly, you might be disillusioned at what kind of person I am."
"When you can say something like that, I am sure that I am not wrong with my choice!"
"...Camilla-san, can we start the exchange?"
"Sure."
Camilla and Tamazuki decided to ignore Ernesta.
"OI, DON'T IGNORE ME!"
Julis thought that this academy was noisy.

During this conversation, Julis didn't join since she didn't understand a single thing.
Meanwhile, Camilla, Ernesta, and Tamazuki kept talking to each other about various research that could be exchanged for his data. Camilla and Ernesta had thought that he would be interested in the weapons since the reason why he wanted to come to Asterisk was that he wanted to get stronger, but he was more interested in the research of Pygmalion and Tenorio.
"You two aren't from Tenorio, right? Can you give their data carelessly?"
"Why not?" 2x
They were at ease, but Camilla felt a bit dissatisfied and asked, "Why don't you have an interest in the Ferrovius?"
"For now, this weapon is enough." Tamazuki patted his Ser-Veresta, to which it responded with a happy shake.
"...." 3x
Was Ser-Veresta like a puppy?
"Wait! Let me show you this one!"
Suddenly, Ernesta felt that this wasn't enough and needed to give more.
"Ernesta, don't tell me..."
"Don't stop me, Camilla."
Camilla didn't stop Ernesta, but she sighed.
"Follow me."
"What are you being secretive about?" Julis pouted, dissatisfied. She could tell that Tamazuki didn't show much interest in their research, so she knew that they were desperate.
However, Camilla and Ernesta didn't say anything. Instead, they led the two of them to a place with various security devices, so much so that it dumbfounded Julis by how exaggerated they were, but it didn't matter since they were about to show the result of their hard work.
"They are RM-C and AR-D. They are our masterpieces!"
In front of them were two puppets in a state of sleeping.
"What's so special about them?" Julis asked in doubt.
"Of course, they are special!" Ernesta then quickly told them how awesome those two dolls were. She talked about many things, but in simple terms, she had created a life. Those dolls had an AI that helped them to grow, and the more they grew, the more they were human-like.
"You..." Julis was speechless and unable to say a single word.
"Are you planning to enter Festa with those two?" Tamazuki asked.
"Yes." Ernesta looked at Tamazuki with a grin. "Those two are going to defeat you!"
"That's interesting." Tamazuki only nodded and didn't sound impressed.
Ernesta pouted and asked, "Are you looking down on them? Why aren't you impressed with them?" After all, Tamazuki was so calm and didn't show much interest. She thought that he would be jumped to the ceiling in surprise, so this reaction of his was kind of disappointing.
"I don't look down on them, but I just don't have much interest in weapons. You can see from the research that I want you to exchange with my knowledge, right?"
Frankly, he was looking down on those weapons that were developed in the Arlquint since, as long as he was given time, he could learn all of them easily. All he needed was just a basic knowledge of it, and everything was as easy as walking in the park, but he had to say his discovery was rather disappointing since, as he had come to this world, he wanted to do something else; at least, he wanted to make the life of his women better.
"You don't want a weapon? Then, what is your interest?" Ernesta asked in genuine curiosity.
"I am thinking about how to change the roles of Genestallar as a weapon."
"..." 3x
This... they didn't know what to say at that moment. Genestellar had powerful physical abilities and various unique abilities. However, their roles in society were rather limited. The only way they could fully use their power was through fighting, so they would either become the police force or armies or even join a criminal organization.
The rest... if they were smart, they could become researchers. As for the minority, they could only enter the service industry, making money bit by bit, or entertainment became a star.
However, without a doubt, everyone's image of a Genestellar was a weapon. It was a convenient weapon that could be used anytime, so they had never been given a place that was able to control society. Moreover, the research of all the people in this world was also about weapons. It was as if they supported the Genestellar to become a weapon.
Yet, this was common sense.
The moment they were born, they knew that they couldn't live a normal life, so that was why his words brought so much impact on Julis, Ernesta, and Camilla.
