As I see Shiranui turn into water as many thoughts are going on inside my head.

"I guess that was aunty Shiranui's water clone," said Ririko.

"So what do we do now princess?" Asked Akai.

"The only thing we can do is wait for Qin to contact us, it's not like they would allow us to do much else."

"You are correct, princess," said the principal.

"And why is that?" Asked Rinko.

"Because if you just leave that would raise people's suspicion about the reason. You may also inform someone that you think is an ally but is really an enemy. You are free to walk around the city but keep in mind that there are still dangers that we haven't gotten rid of yet. And even if we have people guarding you, an unexpected situation can always happen," she said.

"Is that a threat?" Asked Akai with some hostility in her voice.

"No it's more of advice, after all it's been only a few months since master took control of this city. And even for him, it would be difficult to completely get rid of all the enemies."

"Well keep that in mind, let's go you three," I said as I left the room.

"So what's your plan from now on Ririko?" I asked her after we left the room.

"Well if they were able to capture the Taimanin that were guarding you, then they would be able to catch me if I tried to do anything without much effort. So I would probably be lazing around with the hero until they call me. As well as keep an eye on Shida to see if what they said is true," she said as she walked away.

"Princess, we should try and contact your brother," said Celia.

"No, what Ririko said is true. If they can capture the Taimanin guarding me without alerting anyone then they would be able to stop us with no problems. For now, we will wait for Qin to contact us, even though I don't like it. That's the only move we have right now. Celia, I would like for you to keep an eye on Shida as well."

"Yes princess," she says and leaves to do the task I gave her.

"Are you sure we can't send a message to your brother princess? I doubt they can stop a message from the internet, especially if it's on a burner phone," said Akai.

"Yes I'm sure, the Taimanin have a device that would send a message to me when they are in trouble or have been defeated. But I have gotten no messages or alerts. Ririko knew about this device so she probably came to the same conclusion as me."

"Which is?"

"That they have someone so talented they can block six Taimanin signs that are requesting for help and alerting me to danger at the same time."

"That's hard to believe."

"Yes it is but that's what happened, that's why no one has shown up even after we found Shiranui. Or when we met her in the principal's office or got any information from them."

'Qin you are an extremely dangerous individual and I hope you are really working on our side. But if you're not then I'll make sure even if you do get your way you will have to pay an extremely heavy price.'

'I'm finally in Japan, I always wanted to go but those stupid higher ups never allowed it.'

I think as I read the latest volume of my favorite manga, which I can finally get as soon as it's out.

"Here's more tea mistress," says my maid.

"Thank you, Pamela."

She was a soldier that was injured and close to dying after a battle, she was brought to me to experiment on her. Even if I was extremely reluctant I was the only hope for her to live. By the end of the surgery, I had to replace both her arms and legs along with some of her internal organs with robotics to keep her alive. Ever since then she's been my loyal maid.

"Mistress, was it really smart to leave the US to come work here?" She asked.

"Probably not but I couldn't miss the chance to create such masterpieces," I said looking at the sketchbook with all sorts of blueprints inside.

These designs were works of art and even though we couldn't make all of them right now due to our limited technology I couldn't wait to start.

"Couldn't you have just shown the designs to the higher ups in the army and convinced them to let you build it?"

"Those old facts don't have the passion to even try building these mecha. They start talking about the cost then if this is even possible and if I'm lucky they'll take a few years to come to a decision."

"True but it would have been much safer."

"I guess but if you understood the true romance of building giant robots and having them fight you would understand why I could not wait."

"Don't you do that every day?"

"Yes but these have a second form if a pilot with enough skill is driving them. And when you think that's all then bam he hits you with its third form."

"Okay, okay mistress I'll remain by your side to protect you while you have your fun."

"Thanks, Pamela"

Suddenly the door opens and a handsome man with a blindfold on wearing a suit walks in. He was followed by two beautiful women that stood next to him as he sat down on the chair in front of me.

"Hello my name is Qin Shi Huang and I will be your new employer. I hope my people have treated you well and sorry for the inconveniences you had to go through to leave the US," he says with an apologetic face.

"Don't worry about that it's not important, as for your staff they have treated me wonderfully," I say as I look at the bags full of anime, manga, and merch.

"That's great to hear now then, let's talk about business. How many of these models would you be able to make," he says with a more serious face.

"To tell you the truth only some of them because some of this technology is not possible just yet. But with enough time, money, and resources I will be able to do all of them."

"That's good to hear and don't worry about the money and resources I will take care of those pesky things. But I would like to ask if it's really possible for you to make this mecha right now," he says as he opens the sketch book and points to the AHSMB-005 Red 5 mobile.

"It would take a lot of time, money, and testing but I'm confident I could make it."

"Excellent, now then I hope you can have a wonderful time here. Kana, would you show Renee and her maid to her temporary lab and room for her to get started?"

"Yes master"

"Great I'll see you again soon but for now I have important things to take care of," he says as he gets up and leaves along with one of the beautiful women.

"Now then please follow me," says the other beautiful woman I now know is called Kana.

'This is going to be fun.'
