Chapter 485 – Episode 54. Daigo Succession War.
“It certainly seems like the Toyotaka faction and the Minamoto faction are intertwined, as Terue-sama said.”
Tadanori Daigo, the acting head of the Daigo family, looked serious at the secretary’s words. Until now, they have always had the upper hand in the power struggle with the Toyotaka faction, and it would not have been normal for Toyotaka to join forces with Minamoto.
“You’re overdoing it.”
For Toyotaka, who was not part of the mainstream Daigo family, to join hands with Minamoto, it meant that they had given or promised considerable compensation. Since they have nothing to give right now, they probably promised to give a significant portion of the Daigo family’s profits when they take control of the Daigo family in the future.
They are trampling on their family’s future just to gain power now… Daigo Tadanori was furious. He said that he was Daigo, and that the next head of the family was almost certain to be the acting head. If his father, Daigo Hisagoro (醍醐尚呉郎), who was fighting an illness, passed away, he would become the head of the family and there was no way to return.
However, even in such a situation, he borrowed the power of another family to turn things around, so it was natural for Daigo Tadanori to be angry.
“In the end, we have no choice but to borrow the power of foreign powers.”
“If the opponent is Minamoto, then the one we will lend our strength to is… Are you Tyra?”
The secretary asked what Daigo Tadanori said. But Daigo Tadanori shook his head.
“Neither Minamoto nor Taira can handle it. In the first place, compared to Toyotaka’s side, our power is much larger, so even if Minamoto joins that side, there will be no need for us to borrow power from a large family like Taira. “We can just borrow strength from the right forces.”
Since the power difference between the original Tadanori faction and the Toyotaka faction was already large, Daigo Tadanori decided not to bring in the burdensome Taira.
“And…”
Daigo Tadanori smiled.
“In these types of cases, Taira is always on the other side of Minamoto. Even if we don’t necessarily borrow Tyra’s power.”
In this fight between the Tadanori faction and the Toyotaka faction, if the Toyota faction, which borrowed Minamoto’s power, wins, Taira will suffer losses in the long run. So, even if Tadanori did not lend his strength on his own, Taira would lend his strength on his own.
Daigo Tadanori used his brain his well. If we add Tadanori, the third force, and Taira, who will participate at will to hinder Minamoto, we will be able to crush the Toyota faction even if they borrow Minamoto’s power.
“First, let’s find a force we can lend our strength to.”
“I will prepare the materials, Acting Head… !”
Daigo Tadanori and his secretary began busy preparations to find a force to join hands with.

“Welcome~! “You came right on time?”
Eve welcomed us with her usual attitude. Saionji Diana and I also said hello to Eve and entered the basement of the love hotel, which is the Miyashi Dark Branch.
“It’s been a while, Eve.”
“Hello, Eve.”
As I said hello to Eve, Saionji Diana also said hello. As Saionji Diana had her cyber implants attached to her arms and legs, she seemed to be friendly with Eve and was at ease with her. I heard you need to know Eve’s affinity
“I heard, Diana’s grades improved so much that Ryuta decided to give her a gift, right?”
“Yes, my grades went up a lot.”
Eve, who already knew the situation roughly, spoke with a smile and I nodded. Because her last performance wasn’t very good, she improved a lot, but Saionji Diana also worked quite hard this time. If you look at the fact that, other than the poor grades last semester, your scores have increased compared to your usual grades in your second year.
“It’s because the teacher encourages study groups.”
Saionji Diana said, twisting her body slightly as if she was embarrassed by the compliment.
“Then, about parts. What Diana was worried about was what governs its sustainability and destructive power…”
“Oh, I thought about it, and I decided to prepare two separate ones, one for daily use and one for combat.”
“Really?”
Eve was very happy and clapped her hands at what I said. Eve loved making developments of one kind or another, so it seemed natural for her to be happy.
“I never thought of separating combat use and daily use. Then, the special synthetic silicone that creates the skin texture of the combat limbs could be removed and the volume increased. If you do that, you will be able to increase by more than 1.67 times with just simple output!!”
Eve was very happy to hear that they were manufacturing a new one for combat, probably because her limbs were covered with special silicone that looked like human skin, which caused a significant decrease in performance. Eve was very excited, perhaps because she was able to develop something new, and was talking about what she could do.
“As the volume increases, I think many other functions can be added, even excluding printing. Since Diana is a swordsman, she can install a missile launcher that can attack from a distance, or simply install a module that can fire bullets…”
Eve was telling a very interesting story. Since you can fight with a sword and fire a rocket launcher at the same time as an all-rounder, you will be able to compensate for the weakness of Saionji Diana, a melee character.
“Or how about something like this?”
While Eve was getting excited about the idea, I started talking about the abilities of the various cyber implants I had seen in the game. In particular, the function of the cyborg samurai Leito, one of the three swordsmen of the future, was explained.
“Oh, I think that feature would be fun too! Now, a little more about the function that Ryuta mentioned…”
I smiled proudly, knowing that I had done a good job of talking to Eve when she gave suggestions that actually improved the features I had told her about. At this rate, it seemed like one of the three swordsmen of the future might be Saionji Diana instead of Leito. Or become a private prosecutor… Oh, if I hit Alric, will I become Prosecutor Oh?
Eve was excited and created a hologram of Diana Saionji, showing her wearing limb parts and explaining their functions.
“In addition to the cyber implants for my arms and legs, I think we could make some improvements to our weapons. How about this? “If you create an acceleration device in the scabbard to assist with sword fighting, you will be able to increase your attack power even further.”
In addition to the cyber implant, I also gave advice on the equipment that Saionji Diana should wear. If the scabbard is not just a scabbard and includes a device that can assist with sword fighting, one of the sword techniques, the attack power will be further increased. In fact, Saionji Diana had the kamaitachi characteristic and Fuinjutsu skill to blow a sword wind while firing, so if more buffs are given to the swordfighting technique, Saionji Diana’s attack power will be greatly increased.
“Ah, that’s nice. “If the sheath assists the sword technique, you will be able to use new techniques.”
Diana Saionji also nodded her head, agreeing with my idea. When the story about swordsmanship came up, interest seemed to pique. As expected, Diana Saionji was crazy about her martial arts, although not as obvious as Kina Kujo.
“Then more budget will be spent on development. Of course, if we conduct this research, TG Tech’s overall technological capabilities will increase, and we will be able to add functions to related equipment, so we will be able to raise enough research funds.”
“How much do you need?
“Among the ideas that Mr. Ryuta mentioned, there are some that require quite a bit of research, so initial development research funds of around 323.4 million yen will be needed.”
Saionji Diana seemed very surprised by Eve’s words. She had just come to get the parts as a gift, but when she suddenly heard that it was 323.4 million yen, it was a natural reaction. By the way, because it is a super high-performance AI, the price is also very detailed. For other companies, research costs would have been much higher, but at Eve, there is no need for labor costs and research is done very quickly through computation, so it would have been reduced that much.
“All right. For now, let’s round up and set the budget to 400 million yen.”
Since most of the 4 million dollars and 5 billion won from the U.S. Are still left, even if we use this for research funds, we still have 100 million yen left over. I often felt like I could do this mission.
“I will support this research fund.”
“Not using company money?”
Eve asked curiously, but TG Tech’s main business was not cyber implants, and since this was research done at my request, it could reduce the company’s other research expenses, so I said it would be done with my own money, so Eve agreed with me.
“I think it will be okay because it is connected to the power suit business… “If Ryuta thinks so, I understand.”
Eve nodded and turned her body to look at Saionji Diana with a smile. Eve’s smile seemed to have some meaning, but the meaning was still unknown.
“Diana, Mr. Ryuta invested 400 million yen for Diana, aren’t you thankful?”
“Yes, 400 million… “The amount is so big that I don’t know how I will repay it.”
The two people talking, Eve looked at me and smiled mischievously. Saionji Diana’s face turned red. Looking at the two of them, it seemed like they had already talked about something in advance.
“If you can’t repay with anything else, then how about paying Ryuta with your own body?”
“Hey, Eve, what are you talking about?!”
I asked as if I was screaming at Eve’s sudden words. Paying back with my body, I’m not even a debtor… However, contrary to my reaction, Diana Saionji nodded her head with a shy expression.
“Teacher, please let me pay my debt. It’s not something I’m forced to do, it’s something I want to do.”
If I were to explain this in detail, it would be like a girl in my class begging me to have sex with her because I want it. It seems like Eve and Saionji Diana planned it in advance, and it seemed like it was a plan to get me to repay them with their bodies no matter what.
Rather, my idea of creating a new combat arm seemed to make their ideas more persuasive. Oh my, please allow me to thank you for investing 1 billion yen for me! This became the trend.
“Diana just wants to have a deeper relationship with Ryuta.”
When I looked at Eve, she winked and said. It’s not a man to refuse to do something like this. I nodded.
