A/N: I have decided it is finally time to wrap this story up so I am going to kick my speed of updating up to, hopefully, insane levels, so expect a chapter soon after this one.
"In Japanese, only Inumuta and Ryuko Understand."
"Derflinger"
Ryuko and Inumuta reached the port city of La Rochelle in a matter of hours. They decided to check into an inn while waiting for Wardes. At this point, Inumuta decided it was time to sell some of the stuff he had retrieved from Count Mott. First he headed to the place where he could easily sell something. He headed to the Tailor's Guild and introduced himself as a merchant.
"You claim to be a merchant and yet you do not possess even a horse to carry your goods? Do not waste my time."
"I wouldn't dream of it, allow me to demonstrate."
The lady at the reception looked curiously at the strange man and watched as from the pouch on his side, he pulled out a length of cloth. Inumuta handed the lady the cloth.
"Now feel its quality!"
"This is so soft! Unbelievable! Where did you get such a material?! I've only felt something as soft of this in the garbes of nobility!"
The lady's eyes then narrowed and examined Inumuta suspiciously.
"You didn't steal this did you?"
"I got it from a noble in a duel, he surrendered his entire fortune to me, if you need proof then here is the official contract."
She snatched the parchment out of his hands and looked at it closely. After a few moments she handed it to the man.
"Would you mind allowing me to keep this while I discuss this with the others?"
"Not at all."
"Please wait here."
Inumuta waited for two hours as they tailors continued to argue and bicker over the issue until a representative was sent to him and he was taken into a room with a large table surrounded by what Inumuta assumed were the head tailors of the organization. The oldest lady, presumably the leader, at the other end of the table started the negotiations.
"Now Mister Inumuta, before we proceed, I would like to know how much of this cloth you possess."
"I have roughly about five hundred kilograms of the stuff."
"Five hundred kilograms!? In that small pouch!?"
"Yes, I can demonstrate it to you if you wish."
"That… Will not be required, I trust you wouldn't have come here just to lie about something like that after waiting for such a long time. Now as for the price…"
"How much does a kilogram of regular cloth usually cost?"
"Somewhere around fifty silver depending on the market."
"Well then I'll sell you all of it at a mere seventy-five silver per kilogram!"
"You must be joking sir, you definitely can't be serious! That is much too low of a price for such high quality cloth!"
"I am serious, we shall even settle this through a contract."
Inumuta promptly pulled out a piece of paper from within his jacket, which he just printed, and handed it to the other party.
"Simply stamp the seal of your Guild here and these five hundred kilograms of exquisite cloth will be yours for just the low low price of three hundred and seventy five gold!"
"Well I would be stupid not to accept!"
The seal was stamped and the contract was well, sealed.
"Well then, a pleasure doing business with you Miste-"
"God-san!"
'Oh no…'
A shout from a person at the entrance of the room had gotten the attention of everyone at the table.
"Mary! What is the meaning of this?! We were in the middle of an important negotiation!"
"But Head Tailor! He's God-san!"
"Who?"
"That man who was right there…?"
The people looked around and saw that Inumuta was gone, in his place was a small cube and a note which read:
'Greetings my Technos,
It appears my cover has been blown, but no matter, I have already taken the liberty of collecting my offering. This cube here contains your gift, simply push the red button and your cloth will appear in place of the cube. Until next time, May Science Prevail And Magic Fail…
-The Tech-Master '
The tailors of the Guild had always thought Mary's ramblings of a God-san to be from the mental damage she sustained at Count Mott before she was thrown away, only now did they realize that the words were true and a new God had surfaced in Halkeginia, one that helped commoners and punished nobles for their misdeeds. They all simultaneously realized the error in their ways and converted from Brimirship to Technomonology, relinquishing their faith for the noble's God. A loud unified prayer could be heard throughout the Guild.
"May Science Prevail And Magic Fail!"
Inumuta had made a hasty escape and decided to quickly wrap up the situation before they started to begin worshipping him, or worse, get the attention of nobles who would attempt to decapitate him. It wouldn't work but it would still be annoying.
'I know that religion is a very effective way to garner support but I still don't want to draw too much attention to myself…'
Deciding that he should not continue to trade in this city for the time being, Inumuta headed back to the inn.
'Ugh, its already quite late, I wonder how Ryuko is holding up."
Just as he finished the thought, a familiar scarlet scissors blade stabbed into the wall he was leaning against.
"Inumuta… What the hell have you been up to?!"
"Um… Gathering support?"
"Don't you dare talk to me about that, I heard all about your 'Technomonology' and I'm not sure what you are planning but you are not allowed to radiate innocent civilians and claim it is a holy rite!"
"I wouldn't dream of such a thing Ryuko! I was merely trying to expand our search for Senketsu. I had planned to tell you about it as a surprise once I had a large enough following!"
"Hm… Well that sounds reasonable, but I've got my eye on you, we don't need a repeat of what happened on Planet X107."
"It was an accident!"
"You destroyed their entire civilization! You keep talking about your data and yet you destroyed an entire planet's worth of it!"
"I didn't know pulling out the sword would cause such a big commotion!"
"They were worshipping it! You pulled the damn thing out and they regarded you as their new God!"
"Like I said, I wouldn't have known!"
"You didn't have to leave blow up the planet when they tried to sacrifice me to you!"
"But what if you got killed?!"
"I can't die you idiot!"
Ryuko smashed Inumuta's head with her blade, causing his display to fizzle a little. He quickly corrected the issue and noticed all the people around them. Due to all the shouting, a rather large crowd had gathered. It was only upon shouting the last sentence that Ryuko noticed as well. They were lucky that they had been speaking in Japanese and no one understood them. Ryuko quickly grabbed Inumuta and ran back to their inn room in hopes of minimizing the attention drawn to them.
"Seriously, this is all your fault Inumuta…"
"But you were the one wh- You know what? Nevermind. Lets just focus on more important things."
"Good, so what did you achieve?"
"I traded some high quality cloth for some gold."
"Wow not bad, you surprised me."
"What did you even accomplish?"
"Well…"
"She bought me!"
"What?"
"Ugh, I bought a sword, a talking one."
"A talking sword? Hand him over."
"Woah, easy there girly."
Inumuta scanned the artefact and detected a large concentration magical energy within it.
"So why did you buy it Ryuko?"
"He claimed to be six thousand years old."
"I see, allow me to verify that."
"Wait, what are you doing? Stop!"
Inumuta took a wire coming out of the back of his neck and jacked it into the open mouth of the blade and analyzed the information.
"Oh this is rich! All this data! Not to mention how useful this data is!"
"What did you discover?"
"Apparently, this thing here is the blade the familiar of the so called Founder carried and killed him with. It can also absorb and release magic or use it to control the wielder. This is rather amazing a blade, I'm going to keep it. Good find Ryuko, I guess now we should wait for Wardes."
Inumuta ejected from the blade and retracted his wire.
"I feel defiled… Though I seem to have gotten my memory back!"
"Lets get some sleep then, I'm exhausted from the hover board flight."
"Wait what? Aw come on!"
