Night comes and brings the girls back home. Arriving home we were greeted to the sight of Karla waiting for us with a pout. Behind her is a TV that turns on, showing the news about the Gate and our fight with the Army.
"All of you are sneaky! You did not invite me in something this fun!" she shouted while pointing at the screen.
"Ahh, but you are at school so we can't just contact you for something like this." I answer her with a wry smile.
"I don't care, I also want to have a fight!" she said looking at me with a pleading expression. "Can you bring me to the other side?" she asked.
"No can do!" I said with a firm expression. "But, if you can take an exam for early graduation I might bring you with us!" I said giving her an incentive.
"Realy? I will make a call with Gramp then!" she shouted before taking out her phone, then make a call.
After having dinner, we took a bath then goes to sleep as today was so exhausting.

The next day, at noon I was having another conference to tell the mass that the missing victim was safely found and already been brought back from the other side, they can go back home after Shinra gave them medical check-up in case they brought back unknown disease from the other side.
After that, Shinra Company focuses on the expedition to the other side. There are already around Five hundred of my subordinates from the Kure, Vampire, and Super Soldiers send to the other side. Along with them was fifty builder robots to start creating a base on the other side. While on this side there are also twenty of it building a big structure as this place will be a Hub that connects to the other side.
While my subordinate was busy fighting with the Army with my girls helping them. I along with Eu and Kurisu stay at the Gate in order to cut its connection with the one who creates it before anchoring it permanently in this place.
As for the potential danger from the God who created it. I don't care about them, I have many anti-Divine and Immortal weapons to fight with them. If they pose to be a hindrance or annoyance, I will just kill them.

A week later, Japan was hosting an awarding ceremony for the one who contributes to saving the civilian from the invasion. I along with the girls have to come as we were one of the receiving the award. Funnily enough, Itami still got an award like his canon self. He was helping in the evacuation at the other side where I can't reach while fending off the invader. With his Super Soldier physic, he was quite heroic from the civilian point of view.
This last week Japan also got pressure from Americans again as they want to get their own portion for the other side for resources which the dubbed as Special Region. But Motoi now did not faze with their threat and just told them to contact the Ginza Lord himself which is me which prompt them to back off. They still remember what I do them in retaliation for their meddling in my business.

Three months passed and Japan has finished their preparation for sending their force to the Special Region. While they were moving at a slow pace. We Shinra Company already build quite a large base in Alnus. Although we still haven't been in contact with the person on the other side except for the opposing Army.
Last month the Empire send the Coalition Army lead by the Lord of other countries in this world to us. Instead of slaughtering them which was wasteful of human resources. I made a move worthy of information Broker. I kidnapped their scouts then hypnotized them to give the coalition army an information that paints the Empire in Black.
In the end, the Lords did not act like a brainless Idiot and send a messenger to have a peace talk with us. In their leads was King Duran who lead a conversation with me. I succeed in changing their allegiance to me. To do that, I use a rune that makes them feel awe toward my army might and more tsusting to my words.
I also already succeed in making the Gate permanently existing in our control. Unlike with Japan in the Canon, we did not waste the wyvern corpse by just disposing of it to the side. We take it and experiment on it to see if there will be any use from it. Like it's meat, Scale, Talon, and Bones.
Itami becomes a messenger for Japan to make contact with me. A month ago he got into a fight with Risa and come to me for advice. Seeing me having a Harem he thought that I am more experienced at this than him.
After hearing about his conversation with her that leads to a fight which was the same as from canon. I told him what the problem, what is his fault and what his words toward her can be interpreted as. By the end of it, he goes back home and apologizes to her. I also help him out by talking to her that her Husband will be alright with me looking after him at the other side which seems to appease her.
Risa, unlike in canon was quite rich as she was now a popular Doujin mangaka. What with all the material I send her for her manga which made it popular in fujoshi circle.

Today, I along with the girls, Karla include as she passed her graduation exam just to come here. We were going out to make first contact with people from this world. We of Shinra also has our own uniforms to make a distinction between us and the JSDF.
Our first outing is a joint mission with the Itami group that comes with us.
"Yo, Itami are you ready for the mission?" I call out to him while walking toward his group.
"Is this your squad?" I asked and look toward his group saying hello, they look nervous from meeting me.
"Ayumu, you alone? Where are your girls? You usually never go out without them!" he said.
"They are already in our car over there!" I said pointing at our vehicles which were quite advanced, unlike the one used by JSDF which was the junk from the last world war.
"Are the JSDF seriously only give you people this as you weapon and accommodation?" I asked him while looking at their weapon and car. "Last I heard they bought quite a lot of gadgets from my company! Why didn't they use that?" I said while Itami showing a wry smile. His squad listens attentively at our conversation as the also want to know.
"That! They say that they want to use things from the last war first to we can discard it if need be." he said.
"Huh, are they stupid? With my product, you can just store it in Hoi Poi Capsule if it was damaged or stopped working. We also don't have to think about fuels as it uses water as fuel!" I said.
"Hehehe, that also what I said to them. But, they still want to use this thing first until it was unusable."
"Sigh, Yare Yare Daze! Our government is quite petty." I said.
"Yeah, my superior is also quite angry with this."
"What is Kano-san says about this?" I ask.
"He was working out so they will bring out the new gear." he said.
"I see! I will go back to my group then!" I told him before walking back.

Itami Pov
"Lieutenant Itami! How come you speak with Aikawa-sama so casually?" shout Kuribayashi as soon as Ayumu out of hearing range which I think he still able to hear with his enhanced hearing.
"She is right Itami-taicho! What is your relation with the Harem King!" shout Kurata with stars in his eyes.
"I also want to know." Ochan said while the other nodded quite curious. [He is Kuwahara]
"We are a friend! I know him from before he is as famous and rich as now. Because of that relation, I also was sent as his protection duty since last year."
"Really? With Nii age I thought it was quite impossible to know him in just anywhere. Where did you meet with him?" asked Mari with a smile.
"Ehh, we are Otaku Nakama! We meet at a Comiket three years ago!" I answer which shocked them.
""Eeehhh!"" shout all of them. "Impossible, How can someone as dignified as him as an Otaku Nakama with Taicho!" shouted Kuribayashi.
"Oi, just so you know. Many higher up in our country is secretly Otaku. Don't diss an Otaku as it was our culture!" I told her.
"As expected of Taicho! You are my idol from now on!" said Kurata excitedly.
"Sigh, anyway, let's get ready! They also seem to be ready for the mission." I told them and we get into the car before following Ayumu group who was leading the convoy.
