Chapter 9-37: Volume 9 - Chapter 37 – Side Story 12: The Crooked Puppet
09-37 Side Story 12: The Crooked Puppet
Mother has died .
Mother left me with a message .
“You are the best . ”
Those were mother’s last words .
Then as her daughter, I will do nothing but make it a reality .
The best means someone who can’t be beaten by anyone .
And someone who can’t be beaten by anyone means ‘being above everything that exists’ . That’s the conclusion I made .
The first thing I thought was that ‘everything that exists’ is too much . So then what . It should be fine to reduce their number .
To begin with, I got rid of the Magi Craftsman who caused mother to be neglected .
He was a man who would’ve used up his life span in a few years even if left alone, but I thought it important to cut even the weakest bonds of fate he had with mother .
Next was destroying the Automata the man built .
Because this was the most direct way to prove that I can’t be beaten .
Everyone was too weak . Just by twisting their arms lightly they came off . So I plucked off their limbs and heads .
I continued and the owners of the Automata began being vigilant and increased their guards, but that wasn’t something that could stop me .
Because I am the queen .
Just by using a little bit of the strength my mother bestowed upon me, all of the guards became fools .
[Hypno], [Seduce], and [Subliminal] .
Especially the magic [Subliminal] which made people obey my commands as if they themselves wanted to be my slaves . It isn’t strange for a queen like me to have slaves, don’t you agree?
And like this, I dealt with all the Automata that were my objectives .
However, my usage of [Subliminal] was never noticed by anyone, so they had precautions for only [Hypno and [Seduce] which made me laugh .
After that I kept thinking about what is it that a queen should do, but I couldn’t reach a conclusion .
At that time the anti devil race war, which in the current era is called the Great Magic War . began .
Most unfortunately the Templates Adrianna Balbora Ceci left behind were rediscovered, and using them as the foundation Automata and golems were mass produced .
Mother who held a grudge against Adrianna came to my mind . And so I thought I would dispose of them and show the world my superiority .
A lot of golems were thrown into the battlefields . Destroying them with a single swing of my sword was fun .
The Adamantite short sword mother had given me . It cut apart the steel golems, through shields and all .
People who saw that were wide-eyed with surprise . Then they surely realized that I was stronger than the golems .
The devil race too acknowledged my superiority . They must’ve realized that I was only aiming for golems and stopped getting on my way on the battlefield .
Although until then I had been cutting the devil race members that got on my way down with a single stroke too .
‘Golden Princess of Destruction’ . That was the nickname the soldiers gave me . I’m a queen and not a princess, but, well, it’s alright . Because once I make my strength known they’ll surely start calling me a queen .
I opened my eyes .

Only a tiny amount of Magic Energy made contact, but it restarted my Mana Driver .
“Are you the one… who woke me up?”
A young man woke me up . With blue eyes that looked like they were dreaming . I recognized those eyes .
Once, when I was with mother a son of a noble proposed to me . I’m aware of how human men see my physical appearance .
I felt the young man in front of me have a rather large dormant Magic Energy reserve . That’s when I decided I would use this man .
“Thank you . If you’d like, would you please give me a name?”
If I said this, surely the young man would trust me . Because naming an Automata or a golem was the symbol of a master .
“Elena . ”
The young man named me . I smiled and waited upon him .
“My name is Elena . Please treat me well from now on, my lord . ”
The rest was easy .
I gradually used [Subliminal] . Then the boy became my slave .
As a queen, although I had slaves I didn’t nonsensically abuse them .
I told the young man all I knew and taught him about the Magi Tools that were in the place I slept in .
The young man touched on the technology of the past, and with great emotion embraced the ambition of restoring the country of the past .
And very conveniently, the country the young man was from had a group called the ‘Unifiers’ .

They seemed to be an eccentric group which pursued the ideals of Dinar Kingdom, the supreme post-Great Magic War country that unified the continent .
However, their eccentric aspects were very good for my circumstances .
Using [Hypno], [Seduce], and [Subliminal, I had the young man …apparently named Joule… affiliate himself with the Unifiers and little by little push his way up to the important offices of the Unifiers .
Even if it seemed unnatural I didn’t care . Because at any rate, all the leaders would become my slaves .
Over ten years passed, and Joule became one of the leaders of the Unifiers .
One day he brought with him a Magi Craftsman who was famous in the present era .
“Good day, my name is Elena . Are you the man who will kindly repair my arm?”
I said so, but at a glance I could tell that the man’s ability wasn’t up to mother’s level .
But as there were no other talented people, I decided to compromise . Although to be honest, I wasn’t satisfied with his abilities .
Then another ten years passed, and after thorough training even that Magi Craftsman called Donald became useful .
He repaired me except for my broken left arm, and I was able to regain my original movements .
Only the left arm remained .
Because the materials weren’t enough, I decided to have the blue-haired Automata manufactured during the Great Magic War destroyed and used for parts .
Because the blue-haired Automata were also made based on Adrianna’s Templates, the material quality used in their construction was better than that of other golems and Automata .
Soon Donald had been trained for 20 years . 37 years after I woke up, I was finally able to regain my original body .

There was no enemy who could rival me with my original body .
At last, Joule stood at the top of the Unifiers .
And simultaneously the ambition of the Unifiers changed from reviving the post-Great Magic War Dinar Kingdom to unifying the continent .
As for Donald, I taught him about the supertechnology of the past, and I had him develop numerous golems, weapons, and such using that technology .
From this the Unifiers immediately grew larger, and by now it has grown to a great influence with over 5000 members .
Then I commanded the Unifiers to unify the continent .
It was called the ‘unity group’ so the party members accepted that without feeling anything strange about it, and began moving with the goal of unifying the continent .
‘Elradrite’, ‘Subordination Rewriting Magic’, ‘hot flying balls’, etc, etc, etc…
I think that the current world has no one who could stand up to the supertechnology of the past .
Even so I’ll be on my guard .
The Shouro Empire Magi Craftsman called Reinhardt or something is said to be rather capable, so I decided to pay him a visit .
If it seems he’ll be useful I’ll welcome him as a slave, if not, I’ll simply erase him .
I will reign over this continent as a queen, and no one will get in the way of that .
