4 August, 2849, 6 Days after the Detonation Of TFCB, Death Of Darius, and Independence Of Federation Of Nihin, and also, 18 Days after Kouhei was trown into this world
The suns rays through the rumbles of the buildings in Takuyura, several crows are standing above an worned electricity cables
The silence of the city are deafening, only broken by occasional more rumbles that fell to the ground
Several burned flattened cars are scattered along the big roads, in a more farther in the corner of the city, that are not fully engulfed by the tsunami or the explosion
An ship bridge, who was trown away from the ship itself on rhe explosion, was stuck in among of the rumbles in the center of the city square
Some Beastrion's military post in the city was reduced into ash, leaving only one foundation of building remains in annhilated ground of the post
But then, the ground starts to shake, the animals on the ground quickly goes through the remains of the rumble, and the crows fly away
Then, a columms of trucks, construction venicle, and dozens of armored venicle, more than 100 of venicles are making its way to the Takuyura City's Square area
The sounds of the tire, the tracks and the heavy machinery of the huge columns are starting to cutting through the silence of the ghost city
The Nihin Armed Forces, The Army of the Federation and the one who prevents the Vampirism Outbreak spread, now have an new insignia flag, with a sword attached to a shield
And...
The People's Revolutionary Corps, the groups that have been figthing the Beastrion and The Puppet regime for 7 years and helped to rallies people during the Revolution, now are united under the insignia flag of stars with interlinked chains below them
Among the columms, 2 armored venicle in the middle of the columms, in protected positions, Kouhei, Kurumi, Yui, Oruvi, The Grandmasters, the Commanders of each division of the army, includes Tripitzt who are already stable, and the revolutionaries figures of the groups in the revolution are going to the Takuyura Square in the center of the city
But, in between the two, the armored venicle carrying Kurumi, The Commanders of dvisions of Nihin Armed Forces, and the revolutionary leaders are positioned infront of the armored venicle carrying Kouhei, Yui, Hofurz and The Grandmasters
This is positioned by Kurumi, in order to protect Kouhei, Yui, and the Grandmasters from any potential dangers, all the armored venicle except for the Kouhei, Yui and the Grandmasters
Are all on ready to battle alert level, with all the personel's hands of each venicle are placed on the triggers of their rifle, auto cannon of the venicle, or their machine guns
The roads are in very rough conditions, it makes the travel are like going on a flat dirt rocky grounds
Inside the main armored venicle, Kouhei, now wearing an suits, preparing for his Prime Minister oath ceremony, is sitting inside with the others, his shoulder slumped to the side of the corner of the venicle, hes still bandaged in the face and head, but already healed enough to stands up again
Hes still thinking about all the guilts, even after that confrontation with his younger self, he was slightly reassured, but, himself are still blaming towards themself
Now, hes a half blind due to one of his eyes are severely damaged and causes an permanent cataracs due to the blunt force into his head nearly knock that eye out
His head its still hurts, his vision is a bit blurred, his conditions are much better than it is several days ago, but, his body its still badly injured
Meanwhile, Yui now wear an Imperial Traditional cloth, which are an white long sleeve gown and a red robes in the waist, is also reassuring Kouhei by stroking his back softly, her movement are very smooth and soothing
"Kouhei, dont worry, you doesnt have to carry your burden alone, im with others is here, you're not the only one leads Nihin, we are together in this" Says Yui as she reassuring Kouhei
Kouhei thanked Yui for reassuring him, saying that hes glad to have her and others in his sides, but, hes still very conflicted
After all, hes the one who orders Yui and others into commiting that maybe theyre even against at
But then, Yui told Kouhei something, finally reveals that Yui and others, actually doesnt care about what Kouhei orders them to do
They only cared that Kouhei, despites all lf his orders are almost leaning into actrocities, like the Broadcast Station's Massacare and The TFCB Detonation using plan
But, at the very least, Kouhei doesnt intentionally hurting innocent people, or atleast he doesnt hurt them intentionally
But, she says that Kouhei's most horrifying acts, are the Broadcast Station Massacare, she said that it was an very horrifying, because the killings are very brutal, almost like inhuman
But, she thought about it again that time, maybe, it was justified enough
The operators and Beastrion soldiers in there are the Propaganda Division in Puppet State of Nihingo's regime, the people who had controls, demoralizing, and breaking the peoples of Nihin
Their broadcast are about how Nihin are among the many reasons of the start of Devided World War, and mocking them for losing
The broadcast are aired into the Controlled TV Networks, and National Networks, every day in the early morning for 7 years, over and over again
They even mocked the Imperial Family, potraits them as peoples that are pretending to cared about the peoples and only use them as their personal pawns
They also says that the revolutionary forces, only makes an futile attempts against the Puppet State, and how they cant win against Beastrion
Some of the people of Nihin actually breaksdown, and starting to commit suicide, due to how the broadcast says about their nation, and, plus the discrimination and racial hierarcy that time
Leading into the one of the most bloodied year in Nihin, called "The Suicide Year" in 2847, from January to September, over 150.000 civilians commits suicide, before in October reduced due to the success of the revolutionary army's in several sabotage attempt, but, nearly 200.000 people died in "The Suicide Year"
And, over course of the 7 years of Beastrion's occupation of Nihin, reached as high a little over 800.000, nearly a million people of Nihin commited suicide due to the Morning Broadcast indirect genocide method...
That memory, suddenly made Yui sick, she felt nausea, her minds are blurred
Then, Yui leaned foward aburptly, immediatly covers her mouth and whimpers
Kouhei quickly grabs Yui's shoulder and straigthen her posture, he then starts to strokes her back, easing her stress immediatly
Kouhei then asks if Yui is okay, his tone is full of concerns
After stabilizing back, Yui shakes her head slowly, before finally speaks again, telling Kouhei that she was okay, and shes just a bit too deep on relieving her memory
Upon hearing it, Kouhei was even more concerned, because Yui is almost trow up just to remember that memory under Beastrion's occupation
When he looks to Hofurz and other Grandmasters, their face shows very visible signs of discomfort, Mandela even worse, she had to adjust her sit pose just to not trows up like Yui
Kouhei now knows, how traumatic is the life under the occupation of Beastrion, he knows that Beastrion is very evil, but never know that there is more than that...
Yui wipes her mouth, she stabilize herself before speaking again
"Nihin was on a brink of mass moral collapse, everyone is already in despair, including me..."
"But then, you came..."
....
"What?" Asks Kouhei
Yui just continue to speaks
"When i first notice you can read an enourmous books in just 2 hours, i was reconsidering if you're just an Ex-Machina that takes form as a human"
"I actually have believed that human is inferior to beast, the despair over the last 7 years, all the failed attempt, very slow progress of the resistance..."
"But, when i met you, and you demonstrate your intellegence..."
Yui was flashed by memory of speeches from The Morning Broadcast
"Human are one of the most foolish race in the world, there is nothing you can do, we, Beast people..."
Yui open her eyes, and mutters the last part
"Are more intellegent than you, your attempts are futile..."
"You...believed that?" Asks Kouhei to Yui
Yui sighs when she heard the question, but she still put up a smile on her face
"Well...yeah, i am, even though im myself is part of The Imperial Family"
"But, im not anymore, your capability proves that humans can compete or even defeat the Beast race...."
"You're, the symbol of the rise of The Federation Of Nihin, Kouhei..." Says Yui to Kouhei
When hearing it, Kouhei still not yet to able to accepts it, hes still continuing to loathing himself
But, thats stops when Yui suddenly grabs his collar, yanking Kouhei up, the Grandmasters was surprised by Yui's acts
Hofurz quickly told Yui to be careful with Kouhei, as he was still in vulnerable conditions
Yui nods, confirming that she will not hurt Kouhei or discomfort him at any way
Yui leans closer to Kouhei, her defiant brown eyes stares right into Kouhei's blue eyes
"Kouhei, stop this, stop your...self loating, right now"
"Kouhei...whats the matter with you? You said that you cant, said that you're weak, said that you're unworthy"
"You're aware of yourself, thats good, but! Never only told that kind of things to yourself"
"You're capable, you're not weak, and you're worthy! Do you understand?!" Said Yui as she yanked once again Kouhei's collar
But, Yui sees that Kouhei its still a bit dazed, his eyes its still averting from hers
Yui sigh, knowing Kouhei at this kind of state its kind of an alien to her, remembering of how he was before goes into coma
But from there, she understands him even more, that even, for someone as intellegent, brilliant, clever and strategic as Kouhei, can sometimes even defeated by his own gifts...
Yui take a deep breath, and looks at Kouhei once again
This time, its softer, but more defiant
"Kouhei-kun, you're an amazing person"
"You're something that are hard to understanded for a normal person like me..."
"Im not smart as Kurumi-san, even, im not even as clever as Oruvi, everyone want to understand you, to understand...someone who saved them"
"I want to understand and knows more about you" Says Yui
Upon hearing it, Kouhei eye's widens, he never felt- no, he have ever felt this kind of feelings, at a time...
Then, Yui, pulls out something out of her pocket, and spoke again, something, that finally answered Kouhei's question
""You've helped me, Kouhei, now its my turn to help you" Then, her hands was gripping Kouhei's phone, that Kouhei thought has been used to make the parts of the laptop that hacked the National Broadcast at the Revolution
Kouhei's hands slowly reaching to grab his phone
When his finger come to contact with his phone, he felt something, something that...reminds him of his vows to Yui, to help her
It was only a bit over than 2 weeks ago, but it feels like years since that
"Now, its my turn to return the favor..."
"I will supports you and stands with you, no matter what, even if thats the last thing i will ever see in my life..." Says Yui to Kouhei
Then, following Yui's word, the Grandmasters lifts their right hand, and, lead by Hofurz, Tesla, Albert and Mandela at once vows their loyalty...
"We, the Grandmaster of Nihin Federation, in the name of god and the name of the Emperors and Empresses of Nihin, firmly vowed, to serves, help, advise, and stay loyal"
"To The the Empress Of Nihin Federation, Nishimura Yui, and, The Prime Minister Of Nihin Federation, Tanaka Kouhei, and ready to be punished any kind of punishment, including death, ifone of the vows are broken"
"May god and the Emperors and Empresses may be the witness of our vow" Says the Grandmasters as they vowed to stay loyal to Kouhei and Yui
After that, Kouhei straighten up his posture again, and Yui finally let go of Kouhei from her grip
His eyes turns sharper, just like when he was starting planning the Revolution with Yui that day
He straighten and adjust the suit, hes also tighten and tidying his black tie and the suit's sleeve
After tidying his suit and tie, now Kouhei tidying his white shirts, push it down neatly into his pants, and then, he sweeps the dust in bandaged part of his head
Everyone is looking at Kouhei, they knows Kouhei was having an internal problem in recent days after his coma, seeing now Kouhei was back this fresh, and sharp self again...
They now can finally relieve that he was finally starts to be okay
Kouhei for now was known for his extremely intellegent, cleverness, strategical mind...
But now, they know two more things about him: his brilliancy, and his courage
A young boy, who was barely at legal age, now has carry an responsibility of 137 Million lives in Nihin...
A leader, who was promised by the providence of history itself...
The unifier of the world...
"The Promised Leader"
As the columns finally arrives at Takuyura Square, all the soldiers and staffs are the first one to exit their armored venicle
The soldiers immediatly starts to secures the area, clear the area from debris and setting on an kilometers long network cable from the Main Frame Room to broadcast the Ceremony to whole Nihin, while also have lifts the restrictive censors in National Networks Systems with the help of The Main Frame Systems to lift all the restriction programs
Meanwhile, the staffs are preparing the broadcasting stuffs, the lights, the table, the chairs, the podium, all the necesarry for the Ceremony, then, they also brought an familiar old book, titled:
"The Notebook Of Nishimuras"
The book, who was turns out to be very sacred to Nihin's history, containing summary yet detailed histories, and secrets knowledge within the circle of the Imperial Family, the book that Kouhei found when he was in Yui's house library
Then, from the back of the columns, some reporters from around the world, who has also present during the Revolution, was there too to reports the upcoming Oath Ceremony
Then, the next to come out of the columns are the Revolutionary Forces figures from every revolutionary group in every regions of Nihin, alongside of its Vice and 2 high ranked leader of their group
In total, there is total of 64 Revolutionary figures that are invited to Kouhei's Oath Ceremony
Most of the leaders are young people around the 20s, but, the highest commands are hold by leaders that are veterans that are already around the 60s to 70s, but still, the amount of the youngs in there was 2 of 3 of the leaders
After got out of the columns, some seniors leaders looks around them, realizing that most of the figures in here are young peoples
Then, an senior leader speaks to another, talking on how many are the young people among the revulutionaries figures and how amazed he was by the will of the youth in Nihin for independence
Some of the senior talks about of how the young figures in there are some of the most determined peoples and patriotic members of their revolutionaries groups
Then, some of then even revealed that theyre actually subordinates to some of the young people in there, one of them admitted that theyre an subordinates of an young woman leader that lead the Revolutionary Group in around Hyakunoyan Regions
The senior leaders and figures are amazed by the capability of the young people from their regions, remembering that their Empress and Prime Minister is also extremely young too
Yet, theyre the figures who unites Nihin into one independent unity that brought down The Puppet State's Government and liberates them and Nihin
The next to come out is the Nihin Armed Forces Commanders, Kurumi, Heinz, Heinrich, Grimmer and Tripizt steps out of the armored venicle into the outside
As theyre outside of the venicle, Tripizt's hands was trembling, hes still felt very guilty for siding with Darius that time, how hes the one who let the Darius's army to almost reached Nihin
But, then he felt a hand in his shoulder, and when he turn around, it was his brothers
He was quickly pulled into a warm hug of his brothers, they reassures Tripizt that it wasnt his fault, he cant even control himself that time
They told him that hes just get trapped by Darius into becoming his servant, its not up to Tripizt himself that he want to be Darius's servant, just a victim of someone's scheme
After reassured, Heinz, the youngest among the Hölsenhöf Brother, and, the quietest one, then grabbed his face, turns Tripizt's face into facing Heinz directly
Then, Heinz, finally speaks
"You're an good Vice Admiral to Bismarck, older brother, even though you and Bismarck are forced into The Beastrion's Navy for 7 years"
"Away from us, you're my role model, your no-nonsense attidude and extreme loyalty to the family..."
"Brother, you're an good soldier, i admire you"
Upon hearing Heinz's word, Tripizt just smiled a bit before releasing Heinz's grip on his face, and, grips Heinz's hands, then, shakes his hands, with a hint of huge respect for Heinz
"You're a good Infantry Commander too, little brother"
"You're the spears of the Armed Forces, the one that charged first into the enemies that comes into this country"
"I heard you led the infantry into defeating the infected people in the port, its amazing, and im so proud of you, and i believe Bismarck too"
"Little brother..." Says Tripizt before turns his face to look to Heinrich and Grimmer
His eyes was proud, sees his little brothers defends Nihin with all that they can
"And, two of you, you're a good commander too, im so proud of you, and i believe Bismarck too..."
Heinrich and Grimmer then grips their hand into Tripizt and Heinz, now, 4 of them, are holding each other's hands
"Until the end?" Says Tripizt
"Until the end..." Says Heinrich, Grimmer and Heinz as they shakes their hand silmutaniously
Meanwhile, Kurumi just stands there, watching it from afar, cigarates on her mouth, unlighted
"I guess the brothers have found peace after all..."
"I wonder when i will get mine" Says Kurumi as she reaches into her pocket, but found no lighter
She cursed under breath for not remembering that shes on smoking theraphy
But then, a hand with an lighter shows up infront of her face, then, the hand turn on the lighter and lights Kurumi's cigarates
The one who holds the lighter, turns out to be Stauffenberg, with Friedrich behind him, pinching his nose and fixs his glasses, silently sighs
Kurumi then fix her glasses, and starts to smokes the cigarates, her mouth blows the smokes into the air
"Tch, you two caught me" Says Kurumi with hostility, but not a real one
Stauffenberg then starts to laughs while put his hands behind his head and rubs it in a sheepish manner
"Ah, yeah, who would've thought the Commander In Chief will tries to cheats on her no cigarates day" Says Stauffenberg in amused tone
Then, Friedrich puts a hand in Stauffenberg's, his face is a bit concerned
"Hey Stau, i think we should stop now, we dont know when or will Commander in Chief will punish us-"
But then, Stauffenberg tries to downplay it
"Oh come on? Dont you think this is a good oppurtunity? We rarely sees our little Commander in Chief breaks an commitmen-"
But, a seconds later, Kurumi's boots already on between Stauffenberg's both legs, hitting his "future"
Stauffenberg immediatly collapsed into the ground, panting in pain as he felt like his futures just got taken away from his forcefully
Friedrich immediatly crouch to ease Stauffenberg's pain, relaxing his legs to ease the tense in between his legs
Meanwhile, Kurumi just stand 2 feet away, calmly smoking her cigarates
And theb, she speaks again
"As a punishment, for both of you"
Friedrich, who was taking care of Stauffenberg immediatly stops and stands up, unknownly that he steps on his legs
Stauffenberg continue to screams in pain
Friedrich argued that hes trying to stop Stauffenberg from humiliating Kurumi like this, that hes innocent and does not involved in this little trolls
Meanwhile, Stauffenberg felt betrayed, he then screams Friedrich's name
But then, Friedrich only glance at him, and...smiles softly while mutters this under his breath:
"Good luck...my friend"
Then, Stauffenberg is removed from his Colonel's ranks, and puts to be "Kurumi's Punching Bag"
Friedrich laughs off at Stauffenberg's new ranks
But then, seeing this, Kurumi also decided to make Friedrich her "punching bag" too, removed Friedrich from his Sergeant's rank and put the same rank as Stauffenberg
Now Stauffenberg laughs at Friedrich, seeing his friends gets the same rank as him
Meanwhile, the area is already clears, the countries press is already stationed near the stage to documented the ceremony
The soldiers is already guarding the place, the staff is already ready to start the ceremony, the revolutionaries figures is already sitting on the chairs
The Hölsenhöf Brother is standing not far in the back of the line, coordinating the forces nearby area
Meanwhile, Kurumi with Stauffenberg and Friedrich are coordinating with forces in The Main Frame Fortress and The Pandora Base
Theyre making sure that Beastrion will not trying to attack with an airforce strike or missiles, activating Pandora Air Defense systems and connecting it to Main Frame's radars to scan for Beastrion's potential navy group or air force strikes or missiles strikes
Meanwhile, Kouhei, Yui and the grandmasters finally steps out of the armored venicle, the crowd immediatly stands up in manner of respect
Kouhei tighten his tie for the last time, before walking in the middle, his suit has an visible tricolor white, dark green and black flag pin in his suit chest pocket
The white color represents equality and justice for the people of Nihin, dark green represents the pure nationalism of the people of Nihin, and black represents the hardship that Nihin has gone through, and its commitment to keep moving foward
Kouhei's hands steady in both of his size, only the right arm that he swings, while the left arm are kept steady, and his walk pace is very steady, like almost with no trace of hesitation
Yui and the grandmasters are following up close behind him, Yui's hand are placed in lower front of her white cloth gown around the red robe, she was surrounded by the grandmasters that wears their scholar suit
The sight of it was mesmerizing, the combination of Kouhei's charisma, Yui's imperial charisma, and the grandmasters's wise aura
The revolutionaries figures then starts to applausing, the sounds of it as if theyre applausing an historical events that are about to take place
After a minute, Kouhei finally reaches the podium, he stands besides the it and turns around
Meanwhile, Yui was standing right before him, then, a staffs comes up to him and hands Yui an sword
Yui grips the handle of it, she thanked the staff before the staff finally goes back to its place
Meanwhile, Kouhei kneels before Yui as she lifts her sword, as she was about to perform an declaration that are not been performed since nearly 300 years in History of Nihinese Imperial Family
"Tanaka Kouhei, you have liberated this country from the occupation of Empire Of Beastrion"
"and stopped the Ancient Vampire General Count Darius from destroying Nihin" Says Yui as she lifts her sword to one of the side of Kouhei's shoulder
The crowd was shocked, they finally realized what was Yui was performing
"She was performing the Knighting!" Says one of an elder revolutionary figures
The Hölsenhof Brothers was shocked too, as in their family's history, this is exactly how their family have been serving The Nihin's Military and Imperial Family for generations
"The Knighting..." Says Heinrich in a low tone, full of shockness and a hint of awe
Tripizt's eyes widen in awe, an tradition that even themself doesnt got for generations since the start of the devotion of their Family for Nihin's Military and The Imperial Family
"Yes..."
"The highest form of awards in the Military, and one of the most honourable nomination a soldier can received..."
"Our Prime Minister, is an exceptional and devout soldier..."
"And im so happy, and proud to have such an Prime Minister, regardless his age..." Says Tripizt in respectful tone
Kurumi, Stauffenberg and Friedrich watching from afar, they was shocked to see Kouhei is getting knighted
"The highest form of honor a soldier can receive..." Says Friedrich
"Yes, our Prime Minister is an outstanding man, that form of honor..." Says Stauffenberg
Meanwhile, Kurumi lifts her glasses in disbelief and shocks, sees Kouhei gets knighted, its something that she thought never even get to see
"Kouhei...you're..."
Yui then lift the sword again, and prepares to put it in the other side of Kouhei's shoulder, fully knighting Kouhei
"You have served this country as The Revolutionary Leader, united the whole archipelago and its people against the Empire Of Beastrion and its Puppet State"
"And now, about to serves as The Prime Minister Of newly formed Federation Of Nihin..."
"You have gained my highest respect for you" Says Yui as she place the sword in one of Kouhei's shoulder
Then, she as she lowers her sword...
"You're...an..."
"Good...Leader" that word comes out of Kurumi, as Yui finally knighted Kouhei
Yui then lowers the sword, put it in Kouhei's other shoulder, and declares Kouhei a knight
"Tanaka Kouhei, with my authority as an Nihinese Imperial Family members, Nishimura Yui, with this..."
"As an honor of your service, i declares you..."
Then...
Finally....
"A knight" Says Yui as she lifts the sword again, the silence suddenly wraps the events...
The citizens of Nihin that are watching in tv or radio, the world watching through their news outlet
Then, the revolutionaries figures all stands up, and then...
One by one, starts aplausing, the cheers are erupting the Nihin, and the world are witnessing, a new knighted soldier of Nihin for the first time, in a time range of 300 Years...
Slowly, Kouhei slowly rise again on its knee, then bowing towards Yui, a sign of respect and honor to her
Yui just smiled softly, she returns in a form of nod, silently returns the honor back to Kouhei
While the crowds aplausing, the whole Nihin are cheering, and the whole world is watching, Kouhei take a step back to beside the podium
And then...
Put his hands over The Notebook Of Nishimuras
The crowd, Nihin, and the world are silent again
Now...this is the main shows for them...
Then, Kouhei starts to speak his oath, his voice is final, his voice are filling everyone, and his eyes sharp facing to the crowd and the reporters...
He take a single breath
But, for a very split of seconds, his life are rewinded in his memories...
His parents are smiling...
His parent in the hospital, covered in bandages and medical staffs...
Seconds later, he was droven in a black SUV...
Arrived at the orphanage...
Dropped off in there...
"Im sorry, but this is your only choices..." Says one of the staff in there
Isolated in the orphanage and school...
"I heard Tanaka-kun is always engulfed in those books..."
"I never seen him interacted with others in here"
"Yeah, hes weird, and hes always locks his dorm too, almost never been get out of there too..."
"What is hes doing? Ew...weird"
Countless games...
Countless victories too...
But nothing of it are meaningful...
Just, empty victories that bring nothing for him...
Wakes up, sometimes doesnt eat breakfast, games the whole day, skips lunch, eats some snacks and maybe a few instant ramen
Games again all day, sees social media, games again...and goes to sleep
Those routines, repeated, again and again for 4 consecutive years
Again, and again, and again, and again...
All while also listening to occasionally people outsides comments, mocks, and hates
"Brilliance in the world sometimes are temporary, what brilliance in the past, not brilliant again in current time, but still recorded as "brilliant" in history, but...how about if that brilliance was never writed in history?"
He thought that words from the podcast will also applies to him
But, something was off...
He sees it again, in mere miliseconds...
That light-bright figure again...
Its bright silhoutte...
Its saying something...
That time, he could'nt understand...
But, now, i think its a bit understanable...
"You..."
Whats the rest of it? He could'nt remember further
"You"? What does that means? Why is it choosing him?
Why he was chosen by everyone?
Why?
But, even though its weird
One thing is clear...
He was not randomly thrown
He was not picked out of nothing
He has an destiny...
But what was it?
Kouhei then thought to himself
"I think i have to found it myself..."
Said Kouhei to himself as he backs to reality and prepares to finally takes his oath
Then, hes starting to speaks
"Good morning, everyone hearing this..."
His voice echoes throughout the entire Nihin and the world
"All soldiers and staffs that have been the backbone of this newly formed country..." Says Kouhei as he looks around to sees all the soldiers and staffs in the ceremony
"The Revolutionaries who had struggles for this country's independence before i was here..." Says Kouhei as he diverted his vision to the sitted Revolutionaries figures
"The Grandmasters and Commanders who had helped me in an dead end situations..." Says Kouhei as he looks to Hofurz and the Grandmasters, along with The Hölsenhöf Brothers
"My majesty, Nishimura Yui, Empress Of Nihinese Imperial Family, who had supported me from the very start..." Says Kouhei as he looks to Yui in a soft gaze
"And, the most importantly..."
"The people of Nihin! You had proved yourself to the whole world that Nihin never breaks down!" Says Kouhei as he lifts his arms, and points to all of the reporters broadcasting the ceremony
"You've showed them, they can hurt you, tears you, makes you suffered, mocks you, killing you, everything that they can to you and me..."
"But, this day, you have proved to them, that you are still standing! Because we're not weak! Nihin is always together! And if one down, the other millions handing hands to help them..." Says Kouhei as he looks straight into the reporters cameras and broadcasts equipments
As if hes seeing through those, to looks and speaks directly to the peoples hes now protecting with all of that its his, finally stops to see the peoples as an object in a chessboard
And more like...
A friend, or maybe a childern
The entire Nihin's citizens, including Humans, Elves, Dwarf, even Beast...and all other races in Nihin
Then, Kouhei's voice softens, now his tone is reassuring ones, as if soothing the entire's nation like a father who had finally realized his duty, and wanted to make it up for his childern, despite his own young age
This is the people hes now protects and responsible
"All of you today, that are citizens of this nation, all of you are heroes..."
"Old and young, women and men, boys and girls, poor and rich, workers, everyone, even childerns of this nation..."
"All of you have proved yourself to them that you're matter, you're not useless, you're not weak, you're not stupid..."
"You and me have pushed through their guns, retroics, speech and propaganda..."
"Knocking down every each one of them i calls it, proving that we're not just as weak as they think..." Says Kouhei as he keep his posture and adressing his tone to push the words deeper to boost the morale of peoples of Nihin
Then, Kouhei, back to his softer tone, now back soothing the crowd of revolutionaries and the peoples of Nihin again
"But i know this have taking toll on me, and all of you..."
"But know this, we are in this together..."
"I could'nt have done this if its not for all of you..."
"I am nothing without all of you"
Then, Kouhei shifts his posture, but keeping his hands steadily in the book
"I have know the feel of being alone, and the thought of having others with me through my hardest time..."
"And, everytime i thought about it, i will always choose having all of you in this together, every single time..."
"None of this will able to succedes just only by me or Majesty Yui..."
"All of you have contributed by standing up for yourself and this nation, all of you are the one who makes it happen..."
"All of you, have created a history" Says Kouhei with appreciative tone, delivered to all the peoples of Nihin
"All of you have made history, our triumph, will be etched into heart and minds of grateful world, that will last for untold generations..."
"I thank you, the Empress thank you, and the motherland Nihin, thanks you..." Says Kouhei as he thanks everyone in Nihin
Then, he spokes again, now, his tone carries sense of responsibility, no more thearitical
"Today, i stand myself in this stage today, not only as your leader, but also a friend you could count for, a brother you could ask for help, and a father you could"
"I stand myself infront of all of you, peoples of Nihin, and Empress Yui, as i will pledge myself into the roles that all of you has trusted me for" Says Kouhei as he fix his posture into an straight posture, and starts his oath and vows...
"I, Tanaka Kouhei, Prime Minister of Nihin Federation, with the Emperor and Empress in history of Nihin, and God, as the witness of my oath today...."
"I take my oath with all that i can, to serve the people of Nihin, putting People of Nihin's importance above what is mine...."
"To serves people and the motherland Nihin, with "The Vows Of The Federation", that includes 5 main point for Fundamental Base of the Federation" Says Kouhei as hes recites the "Vows Of The Federation"
Kouhei says the First Vow, which are "People's Intrest Aboves Political & Personal Intrest", vowing equal and fair democracy, pushing for "From The People, By The People, and For The People" principle of democracy
Then, he says the Second Vow, that are "Equality And Justice for All Segments of Society Regardless of Race", vowing equality beyond just Human Race, but all of races that are citizens of Nihin
Then, he says the Third Vow, that are "Unity Of All Race", vowing to the people of Nihin, regardless of races, to feels they have each other, aiming to erase the race borders that Beastrion and Puppet Government has tried to enforcing over the last 7 years
Then, he says the Fourth Vow, that are "Transparency Of Governance And Accountaibility Over Its People", vowing an transparent governance to make sure the trust of the people of Nihin doesnt waver for the Federal Government and prevents nation break up
And, finally, he says the Fifth Vow, that are "Stewardship Of The Future and Honor Of The Past", vowing thats Nihin's direction is towards the future, while honoring the history of Nihin
And, he pressed once again, that the five vows that he said, will be used as the fundamental base for the new Nihin's Government
The citizens of Nihin across the country was screaming in triumph, applausing from their villages, towns and cities
Cheers, tears of joy, and laughs are heard across the country, as the peoples celebrating the beginning of a new era of Nihin
A lot of the revolutionaries and military figures, including the Hölsenhöf Brothers, Grandmaster and Kurumi, was amazed by the new fundamental base proposed by him, sees it as revolutionary, balancing between the past, the present, and the futures
And the world was amazed too, seeing Nihin as an country with an huge potential
Meanwhile, Yui is standing still in her positions gracefully, looking at the new spirits for the new Nihin
Then, she secretly glance side ways towards Kouhei, her brown eyes brushed by his appearance
Shes still remembers the first time she met him
Shes just steps outside to check on the farms, when suddenly shes an stranger, a boy, sitting on the haybale she stacked yesterday
She instictively grabs her forks, and then swiftly helds the stranger on the throat, just an inch away from killing him
"Who are you? Where do you from? How do you get here?" Says her to the boy
Then, after a few seconds, the boy with an messy white hair, and an light blue eyes, asked in an surprisingly calmer, even though a seconds ago he was utterly terrified, even if hes still suttering
"Well...i...uh, i...eh? Uh...im...my name is Kouhei Tanaka" Says the boy with an careful tone
Yui, was still extremely suspicious, she doesnt trust that boy immediatly, but, after analyzing for seconds, she decides to lowers her forks, noticing that the boy was unarmed and looks a bit too skinny to pose a threat
She decided to spared this boy named "Tanaka Kouhei", does not killing him, not knowing what the future holds
But, that time, Yui was clueless of what futures holds as she met him in that day, doesnt know the capabilities and potential buried inside of him
Never knows what he will brought to her destroyed nation...
"I guess, the fate really has brought us together..." Says her, barely above a whisper tone
Then, while everyone is still at euphorias, Kouhei finally close his oath with something that shocks everyone..
"If i broken my swear and vows to serve the people of Nihin with all of that i had..."
"Im ready to punished by dishonorably discharged or death penalty the next day" Says Kouhei as he closed his oath speech
And, that lines, shocks the everyone in the ceremony, everyone in Nihin, and the entire world...
The soldiers, staffs, and the revolutionaries figures immediatly murmurs among themself, theyre shocks to hear such an commitment, and at the same time? Moved by his determination
The Hölsenhöf Brothers are shocked too, this level of devotion is extremely rare for someone young as 16 Years old, but also heavily respects it deep down, seeing how responsible Kouhei taking this matter
Meanwhile, Stauffenberg, Friedrich, and Kurumi, are shocked too, especially Kurumi, because this similar to what Kouhei has promised her if the revolution is done, but, Kurumi quickly realized
This time? Its not about finding what he have to do...
Its WHAT to do to able to change
But this time? Hes serious and genuine, its both showing that Kouhei has finally brokes free from his self-loathing, but also feels terrified by how far he had ready to sacirfice for Nihin
The Grandmasters's are the same like anyone, theyre shocked that Kouhei has formally even offers his life for Nihin, but also quietly moved too
And Yui, she was shocked too, but more understanding
She has seen how Kouhei suffered from his internal vonflict and self-loathing
That time, she hasn't realized it, and Kouhei was left alone battling his internal conflict and also leads Nihin, too blinded by his achievements to even noticed it at first
But now? Its the chance to change it, to finally supports him in every steps in this new era he has brought to this country
She mutters under her breath, her tone is barely above whispers, almost as if its her heart who speaks it out of her...
"I'll support you, no matter what, i will not stop now, not anymore, and not ever do anymore..."
"I'll gave you, all that i had, from now on"
Says Yui, as her heart speaks
