"Really, Ryan?"
I smile a little as Yasaka gives me an unimpressed expression.
"Sorry about that. However, I cannot reject her when she puts on her usual pouty and teary expression. She also made her lips tremble while saying that! There is no way I can survive that assault, Yasaka."
She looks at Kunou, who has a massive grin on her face, not feeling any shame at all. Yasaka releases a sigh and looks back at me.
"Right. We really need to talk about not indulging her too much. Anyway! Can I ask the reason why you make them, Ryan?"
"Hmmm? Ah, I made them to arm our people. With the magicians, onmyoji, and even shamans who work for us, we need to arm them to increase our power a little bit."
Because of my presence in her court, there are a lot of humans who are willing to join the Youkai faction. It also helps that Yasaka's faction is not exclusive to Youkai and is willing to accept humans under her wings.
It is true that I am the first human ever to enter her inner circle, but she does accept humans whom she can trust in lower-ranking positions in her court. Sadly, only someone who can fight a high-ranking youkai can enter her inner circle, and sadly, humans have a hard time achieving that power because of our race's short lifespan. The high-ranking youkai grow faster and have longer lifespans, making them usually more powerful than any humans.
Only a few exceptional individuals are capable of fighting a high-ranking youkai, but those individuals usually come from China, Europe, or the Americas. They are usually immediately recruited by other factions and showered with anything they need and want.
Anyway, with me being someone who can fight Gods on equal ground and even defeat some, no one is willing to try anything stupid with me. There is also the fact that I am more than willing to use force in case someone is being reckless and tries to do something. This fact makes them think twice or thrice before trying to do anything stupid or reckless.
"Do you want the mundane people involved?"
"Eh? Can I?"
"Of course. These Flight Units are pure technology, right? It does not require any supernatural energy to make them move, right?"
"That's right. It is used as a very stable fusion reactor that only needs water to operate."
"Even better! We can establish a company to make this technology accessible to the general public. We can first create an Energy Production company. Don't worry, I can make sure it goes through as fast as possible."
I know what she meant by that. To introduce a new technology, there is a lot of red tape to go through. There are multiple tests and paperwork that others can use to make sure the technology cannot be implemented.
With Yasaka's backing, this technology can proceed without a problem.
"That is a good idea. I can design a bigger Fusion Reactor to power Kyoto first and then spread to other prefectures."
"And after that, we can make a company branch that is involved in robotics or weaponry. With this, we can arm the others while also getting a lot of profit."
"That's right. We—"
I stop when I remember something. I look at her and say.
"Can we also create one in Indonesia? I spend a lot of time here, but I am an Indonesian born. I want to help the Supernatural Side of that country at least. There are numerous spirits and monsters born from negative energy in that place. The modified weaponry that works with mana will be good for them."
"Of course. You will be the owner of the company. It will be weird for you not to open a company there. However, it does create a complex and rather troublesome political problem. Fortunately, you don't need to worry about that. I will talk to the people in Indonesia to make sure nothing too troublesome comes your way."
"Thank you, Yasaka."
She waves her hand and says.
"Think nothing of it. I am also benefiting from this. Not only that, you are my soon-to-be husband. There is no way I can leave you alone with the people who master political power."
I smile and pull her to me. I hug her tightly and kiss her passionately. She purrs as I pamper her with affection. Today, I will make sure she has the best day.

|3rd POV|
Without wasting any more time, Yasaka and Ryan open an Energy Company. Both of them invest almost $3 billion to create a proper Fusion Reactor facility in Kyoto Prefecture. It is one of the largest projects they have undertaken, and they are building the facility at a rapid pace.
With the help of a supernatural construction company, they were able to build the entire thing in a matter of a week. As for the reactor itself, Ryan was able to create a macro Fusion Reactor from the NieR: Automata world in just five days.
With the help of a futuristic fabricator that pre-fabricates all the necessary components, he only needs to attach the parts and start the reactor. However, he needs to teach the others about the reactor. He cannot be the only one knowing about the reactor.
Why? While the reactor can last for thousands of years, just like the androids in the Nier world, it still needs maintenance once every month. He will be the one taking care of the reactor at the moment, but he cannot always be the one assigned to do that. He needs people who focus on maintaining the reactor.
However, it will take him time to teach everyone about the reactor, and it will take even more time. That is why Ryan is busy thinking of a way to address the problem he is currently facing.
He doesn't want to involve Yasaka in this problem because she is very busy with the new agreement between Devil Race, Youkai, and Shinto. He does not want to add more problems to her plate.
As he is thinking very hard about it, someone comes bearing good news. Just like an angel who already fell a long time ago and has a worse tendency than Lucifer, Zelretch comes through a portal.
"Ryan! It's been a while!"
"What? It's only been a week for me."
"Really? Oh, well. It has been two months for me. I am staying in the Nier world to take care of a lot of things."
"Oh? How are they? The Androids, I mean."
"They are doing great. Especially when there are humans leading them. I have a good laugh when I see the face of the people there when they are facing the worship-like tone the androids use when talking to them."
"Good. I don't know how long I can handle their worship-like tone before I break."
"Hah! You should see Shirou's face when I put him in that world."
"You put Shirou there?"
"Yes. He and Rin need to expand their experience, and helping the others will satisfy his need to help someone and give Rin a good chance to expand her knowledge regarding my Magic."
"Is Shirou still chasing after his dream? The last time I met him, he did not look like that kind of person."
"No. His alternate self already destroyed that bad tendency. However, he continues to try to help others as much as possible. With him being in that world, he will have satisfaction and make it easier for him to grow."
"Right. Anyway, what do you need?"
"Nothing, really. I come here to announce that you can invite all the androids you leave behind."
"Really?"
Ryan perks up at his word.
"Can you bring them here?"
"Of course."
"Perfect! Can you bring people who are willing to work with me? I need them for jobs. Ah, tell them that I need them as a mechanic and teacher for the humans and youkai under me."
"That is easy enough. Wait here. It will only take a few minutes."
Ryan does not know it, but he soon regrets calling them over here. It is not a bad thing, but it makes his day a little bit troublesome in the long run.
