After confirming their first target, everyone started working while also announcing their intention to annex, no, to unify the Osaka area and Hakata area.
The Hakata Area is located south of the Osaka Area and right on Kyushu Island.
They immediately announced about the matter and did not care whether the Hakata Regional government would agree or not because if they did not agree then they would become the enemy of the people in the country.
It has always been everyone's dream to live freely in this land, and if the Hakata regional government does not want to support the “Day Unification” movement, they will become enemies of the masses.
“This Unification” Day has turned into their spear and will stab anyone who does not support human freedom.
The plan will start in a week, and everyone needs to prepare the army, and the Civil Security Company that will join this mission.
Although some people do not like the Civil Security Company like some leaders who support both the JSDF and the police because they fear their work is stolen by the Civil Security Company, there is no denying that with the advent of the Civil Security Company the death toll of soldiers and police has been reduced.
Not that Haru wanted to mock the Civil Security Company, but according to him, this organization was similar to guilds and mercenaries that were usually in anime stories or novels in other worlds.
The organization is full of people who are full of themselves and think that they are very strong, but in the end, they are, most of them were only small fries or meat shields and only a few of them were as strong as those that had a rating of 1000 on top.
Previously Haru had also thought of opening the Civil Security Company, but he felt it was pointless to open it and also had no authority. It would be better to be one of the leaders in five areas in the country because it will make it easier to unite the country.
Everyone also needed to gather the Cursed Children who had been left behind throughout the Osaka Area area to gather them to be taught by Esdeath making them into a special squad team.
Then the meeting ended after a few hours before they returned to start their plans as soon as possible while also contacting their people and the spies living in the Hakata Area informed them that the “Day Unification plan” will start soon and they need to prepare as soon as possible.
Lastly, they also reminded people in every region of Japan to promote “WIRED” to make their plans easier.
Sataike House.
Haru cooks dinner as usual while Esdeath tries to meditate while fighting off the scent of Haru's cooked dinner.
Esdeath tried very hard, but in the end, he could not fight the smell of food. He walked behind her hugging her waist while putting his head on her side looking at the food she cooked for dinner. “What are you cooking?”
Haru was quite speechless with this action as it was usually done by men to women, but this time their roles were reversed.
“This is freekeh chicken. This is middle east cuisine.”
Freekeh or farik is a cereal food made from green durum wheat that is roasted and rubbed to create its flavor. It is an ancient dish originating from Levantine and North African cuisine, remaining popular in many countries in the eastern Mediterranean Basin where durum wheat originated.
Haru is getting interested in middle eastern cuisine because it tastes good.
Middle eastern cuisine usually uses lamb meat, but he does not intend to use lamb meat because it is full of calories. For Saitake who is fat and also old enough, meat with many calories is not good for his health.
Esdeath looked at the chicken to eat it and suddenly in front of his eyes became bright. He wants to steal the kitchen from Haru, but he is stopped. She pouted at him while begging to give him a chicken, but he told her to be patient. He breathed and began to observe. He had to admit that Haru who was wearing an apron was really flirting. He'll try to ask her to wear a naked apron later tonight.
Saitake who was sitting at the dining table felt very envious of their interaction and wondered if he should find someone as well in the future.
After a delicious dinner, they couldn't help but ask why Haru decided to target the Hakata Area first.
“Isn't the Tokyo Area better?” ask Saitake. He had not asked before during the meeting because he decided to support his plan, but he could not help but ask again at this time.
The Tokyo area is quite close to the Osaka Area, and even closer to the Hakata Area.
Unlike the Tokyo Area which is only a few kilometers from the Osaka Area and there is no water separating the two makes transportation between cities easier.
Saitake thought that it was better to unify the Tokyo Area, rather than the Sendai Area, then they could choose whether they should unite Hakata or Sapporo because the two were on different islands.
“Tokyo area is the last,” Haru said.
“Last? Wh why? Their situation is not so good now,” Saitake said because, after the charge of missing the Heaven's Ladder in the Tokyo Area, the Tokyo Area was ostracized by the other four areas. He felt that it was the perfect opportunity to annex both regions.
Haru shook his head and said, “That's because of the Heaven Stairs so we have to annex the Tokyo Area in the end.”
“???”
Saitake's confused.
“First, what if the Tokyo Area really has a Ladder of Heaven? If we forcefully annex both areas then they will probably retaliate and use the Ladder of Heaven to shoot us,” Haru said. Even though he was the one who stole the Heaven Stairs, he would definitely not be the one to say it.
“If that really happens then our area will probably be the opposite of top rank to bottom rank after being corrupted by the Heaven Stairs!”
“…..”
Saitake turned pale when he heard it and if Haru thought that it was true then the Osaka Area would probably turn into ruin.
“The second one is quite simple if we really annex the Tokyo Area that is accused of stealing the Stairs of Heaven, we might as well be accused of cooperating with the Tokyo Area to conquer all of Japan! That means we will make the other three regions our enemies as well as counterattack by saying that “Day Unification” is just a conspiracy from Tokyo Area and Osaka Area that wants to conquer Japan,” says Haru.
“Then there will be a civil war between Sendai, Hakata, and Sapporo against us.
“Tokyo area may also betray us in the middle of civil war.
“Then we will lose the battle.”
“…..”
Saitake turned around in silence once again.
“We are on the fair side, our intentions are good, and that's why we're going to annex an area that doesn't have the charge of stealing weapons that can destroy a country so it won't turn us into bad guys.
“Do not rush, we can do it slowly by attracting the interest of their people after we annex both regions.”
Saitake nodded and said, “I understand.” He felt lost in strategy and politics before this young man.
“What's the last reason?” Esdeath asked.
“Because I heard the beach in Hakata Area is quite beautiful. We can spend the holidays in that place after we annex the two regions,” Haru said with a smile.
Esdeath smiled and said, “That's a great idea!”
The two started teasing each other ignoring Saitake who was by their side feeling jealous and bitter at the same time.
