Since I need to demonstrate what I will do to Mother Aries's younger sister, Lisa about my plan, I prepare a large scale model over at the R&D. Thankfully they gave me the permission to use the facilities there, as well as few tools to works with. Thing is, the model is so large (How large? As tall as I am, and the 2/5th of the room width) that I literally took me 24 hours of nonstop working to get it done, and it is nowhere near perfection.

(I'm really, really, really grateful for the magic tools that they lend, or else who knew how long will this take. Still...) [Charlotte]

The countries model aren't scale to the exact ratio, as some countries are larger than the other. And then there are few key locations that I have to random a guess since I literally didn't know where exactly the location is. For example, I never went to Beastman Kingdom, Demon kingdom, and the new headquarters, and thus, I didn't know the location of their orphanages.

Why is the orphanage important? The orphanage houses Housey. Yes, to make things easier for us, all the magic cores of the fortress defense magic that protects the orphanage are call as Housey. Our Housey is the original one, with the subsequently Housey being name Housey 2.0, Housey 3.0 etc. All of the Housey play a role not only to protect the orphanage, but also serve as a sort of center for transmitting wave for our phone calls.

(And it is those very same wave that I plan to take advantage of) [Charlotte]

In theory, this should work. I have high hope that it does, and for that, this model should be perfect.

(Not only the country... I couldn't replicate the dungeons sizes correctly. The location of the communication stones planted as well as mana concentration of each level of dungeon) [Charlotte]

The more I look at this rush model, and the more I think of it, the more I realize how big this mega project is. Somehow, my confidence from before slowly leaving me, and replacing the void left by my confidence are doubts and anxieties

"You seems tired" [Kara]

"Have you been working nonstop?" [Elise]

"When did you two comes!?" [Charlotte]

"Just now. I am worried that you didn't even come back home!" [Elise]

"And what's with this crumb of snacks? You don't even eat properly!" [Kara]

"Well..." [Charlotte]

Avert my eye. Just look somewhere else. Anywhere beside their piercing eyes. I know I am to be blame for all of this, but please don't. I'm just too tired. Plus, I am not entirely guilty! This mega project just require that much work to begin with!

"Charlotte, and you two as well... Oh my, you already finish making up this model" [Lisa]

"She didn't even get a wink of sleep last night to finish this model!" [Kara]

"True. It's plain obvious. I'm just glad I brought some nice hot salty egg porridges inside my item box" [Elise]

"Really! Please, LET ME HAVE IT!" [Charlotte]

"Calm down! And wipe your drool!" [Elise]

Salty egg porridges! It smells nice. Oohh... The steam coming from it, and the aroma that basically telling me to eat it quickly. How could one ever refuse such delicious heavenly food. I just dig in straight away before

"MORE PLEASE!" [Charlotte]

"Sigh... Just as I thought. Good thing Elise and I make plenty of it" [Kara]

It's simply delicious, and with how hungry I am, the porridges quickly find themselves inside my stomach. While I am eating, I can see some scholars coming in as well, looking at the model that I created. It isn't that great in my opinion, as various improvements can be made, and they agree to it as well, while citing and taking note of improvement that they could help implement later on. They even suggest to ask the opinion of a geologist from Malsia, Qudus for help. If I'm not mistaken, Qudus is Kana and Mira friend. We meet seven years ago at the Malsia's orphanage, so I don't think he will mind lending us his expertise

"Your highness King Estel! The fourth Queen! Princess Diana, Prince Zaidi, Saintess Rumia, and the two guild masters. Welcome to our labs" [Lisa]

What! Why is the king and the queen coming along as well? Are they making a sudden unannounced surprise visit? Is this really a project so huge that it requires his higness to come to the site and overseer everything? I can present just fine to the other four (Sis Diana, Zaidi Saintess Rumia and Mother Aries), also the merchant guild master, Grandma Gizzere's son since he looks like a nice person, but the king with his beard is a little bit intimidating if I am being honest. Look, even the other scholars are having trouble, surely because of the surprise visit!

"Dear father, you should really trim your beard. You're making Charlotte uncomfortable each time you met with each other" [Diana]

"You still haven't given up on that one didn't you" [King Estel]

"I just couldn't imagine my dear husband without his beard. It will surely look weird" [Fourth queen]

(Dear father without his beard... Now that I think of it, have I ever seen father shaving his beard?) [Zaidi]

With the important guests taking the front row seat of the presentation, I can see that Lisa telling me to start the presentation of my plan. I feel like every words and every movements that I make is being judges by all of them, which makes me becoming even more nervous

((You can do it Charlotte!!)) [Elise, Kara]

I'm 100% sure Elise and Kara are giving me their full support! I should do my best... Wait a minute? I'm pretty sure today isn't even the date for the presentation. Sigh... let just get this over with

"Dear all, thank you for spending your precious time today. Without further ado, I present to you, The sea serpent project" [Charlotte]

I just made up the name of the project on the spot
