I smile at her and continue to pat her head.
"Right! Back to business. I'm sorry to ask you this, but can you complete the mission first?"
Chiyome gets up and nods.
"Of course, Lord Master."
"Right."
My title changed from master to Lord Master. I shake my head and take out my company phone and the stamp before giving them to her.
"Do you know how to use the phone?"
"I do, Lord Master. I have a knowledge of how to use it."
"Great. There is a map on that phone, and you can see an important target inside the map. You can stamp them using this stamp."
I showed her the company stamp and said,
"You need three seconds before the ink is stuck on the target. Your first job is to stamp as many targets on the map as possible. You did not need to stamp all of them because this is your side job, not your main job. Your main job is spreading misinformation among the nobility of this queendom."
"What kind of misinformation, Lord Master?"
"I want you to kill some of the nobles that I write in the note inside the phone and make Godwin the one killing them."
"Impersonating and misinformation."
"That's right. Your mission has two things: kill the important noble and blame Godwin for this killing."
Chiyome looks at me right in the eyes and says,
"Your command will be done, Lord Master. I shall quickly finish this mission and get back to your side."
"Just make sure you did not get hurt, okay?"
"Don't worry, Lord Master. I'm already used to the pain."
"Even then, I don't want you to get hurt."
"Then I shall ensure not to get hurt, for this is Lord Master's wish."
I nod and say.
"Then go. You know what to do."
"Yes, Lord Master!"
After she says that, she is gone. As expected of a Ninja, they can disappear without making a sound.
With Chiyome doing something that will prevent Sialeeds from 'betraying' the prince, I can focus on gathering the 108 stars of destiny. Babbage and Sorensen are already in the bag because I have already 'recruited' them. It is more to make them get close to me before the main character gets close to them.
I shake my head and lie on the bed. I need to go to bed because we will turn off the revolving bridge tonight so Godwin cannot use it to attack us.

|3rd POV|
With darkness covering the land, a group of people standing in front of a boat. They are Gerrald and his companion alongside Babbage, Sorensen, and a new person, a young woman wearing a pilot head and wearing orange clothes with a square pattern.
She is Lu, Babbage's second apprentice. She comes because she deems their activity as 'kewl.' It is not cool but rather kewl.
"Oh! Oh! Oh! I cannot wait to see all the kewl things!"
Sorensen covers her mouth and says.
"Shh! Shh! Lower your voice, Lu. We did not want the other to hear us."
Babbage sighs and says.
"Let her be, Sorensen. We have not even set sail yet. It is better for us when she is too tired to talk when we get near the bridge."
"Ah! Of course, professor!"
They get on the boat and set sail to the north, to the revolving bridge. Gerrald looks at the professor and says.
"Professor, how can we know which place we need to go? This is too dark."
"Don't worry. I know which way to take when we are getting closer. The only thing we need to worry about is if the boatman knows how to navigate through this darkness."
Gerrald can hear Logg scoff at that word.
"Darkness is my old friend."
Logg is a former smuggler, and he needs to sail through the darkness. He has sharp eyes that can see in the dark.
"Leave the boat to me. Just tell me what kind of thing I need to look out for."
Babbage nods his head and says.
"We need to look out for a hidden door in the western part of the bridge. Watch out for a small gear on the wall hidden behind a large bush."
"Right. So look out for a large bush on the western side."
They continue to set sail, and because they are using Logg's special boat, they arrive underneath the revolving bridge in one hour—half of the usual time to take to the revolving bridge from Estrise City.
They look around before they see the large bush Babbage is talking about. They get closer and push away the bush to see a hidden door. Babbage takes out a key and opens it. They get inside the building, and Lu quickly looks around in excitement.
"Wow! This is so Kewl!"
"So, this is what the inside of the revolving bridge looks like! Wow! I never thought I'd actually see it!"
Sorensen says as he looks around in awe. However, they snap from their thoughts when they hear something big get closer to them. Gerrald and his companion take out their weapons and prepare to fight.
A few seconds later, a group of robots appeared from the corridors. They are holding a tower shield and a giant sword in their hands. There are seven of them.
"Ah, almost forgot, that's the security I designed, mechanical guards built to attack trespassers, you see…"
Sorensen and Lu look at Babbage and shout.
"A-Attack trespassers?!"
"Hey, but the Professor's got some big giant brain, so I'm sure he made it so they won't attack us! Right-right?!"
Babbage shakes his head and says.
"Come now, Lu, machines wouldn't know the Queen from the head maid, and they certainly won't remember me, hmmm?"
"What?!"
Gerrald ignores them and shouts.
"Here they come!"
He takes one of the robots and blocks its attack. After blocking the attack, he pushes the robot away, and the opening he creates jumps up, then stabs the robot in the head. He pushes his sword on its head and pushes his sword to cut open the robot in half.
Gerrald looks at his companion and sees they have already taken care of the problem. He nodded and looked at the professor.
"You need to make a more powerful robot, prof. These ones are not too powerful."
Babbage scoffs and says.
"Making robots is expensive, boy. Also, they are only the first wave of guards. The real deal is inside the heart of the revolving bridge."
"Then let's get this over with."
They get through a long corridor and get to the third floor, where they can see a giant robot in the shape of a Trojan horse standing between them and the machine that controls the revolving bridge.
"Woah! This is so Kewl! Look at that giant horse! It is soooo kewl!"
"Another of the Professor's wonderful creations! Splendid! A masterpiece! A true scientific genius, to be sure! And... frightening!"
Babbage ignores their praise and continues to walk.
"This way to the heart of the revolving bridge, hurry along now, let's get a move on, we don't have time to spare…"
However, as he gets closer to the horse robot, the robot starts to move. Gerrald quickly pulls the professor from the horse before the robot stomps the ground.
"This must be the last line of defense against an intruder, huh?"
The professor nods his head.
"Yeah. This one will be even more difficult than the other robots."
"Right. Then I think we need to get serious."
Gerrald lets go of the professor and dashes forward. When the giant horse tries to stomp him, Nikea appears above him and deflects the incoming attack. Gerrald arrives in front of the giant horse and swings his sword at the knee of the horse.
With his sword being enchanted by a thin water current that moves at high speed, he cuts through the leg of the giant horse. Hazuki and Gavaya arrive in front of the back legs, jump, and cut one of the back legs of the horse.
The giant robot is about to release a beam from its mouth, but before it can even do that, Ernst, in his human form, closes the mouth of the giant robot. Norma arrives underneath the giant robot and throws her spear to shut the giant robot's mouth off.
Ernst releases his grip and jumps away from the robot to see it explode from its own attack. As the robot falls to the ground, Gerrald looks at the professor, who looks at his creation's destruction in shock.
"Come on. Let's get this thing shut down."
