Now, to start with, why don't we have Charlotte here to tell back the problem she's facing in her...

"I'm sorry, we are late" [King Druser]

"Please, forgive us" [Seraph]

"You two are late" [Demon Queen]

"Just where do did the two of you go?" [Female paladin]

"It's fine, just please, take your seat" [King Estel]

"..." [Ash]

"..." [Rumia]

(They're hiding it pretty well, but just why are they staring at King Druser and Seraph rather intensely?) [Saint Louis]

(Interesting) [Diana]

Hmm...

"Can I continue?" [Charlotte]

"Oh, yes please continue" [Ash]

"Well, to summarize, our current problem will be the layer of complexity surrounding the spell itself. Some of the structure of the spell are literally unknown to us. Not only that, the amount of mana and the precision to fire it off, it need to be done without a margin of error, if not, the effect will simply become disastrous" [Charlotte]

"That's the short version of it. Since one of my spell is being used, I can tell that it isn't as easy as she make it sound. The magic circle, like a gear of a clock, is interdependent with one another. One wrong move and the cascade of effect will definitely spiralling down to an uncontrollable situation" [Queen Rinz]

"The engineering team Mr Erinmorlin and I had test run countless simulation, so far, the results shows that it could be done under extreme precision, and that chance further increase with the three of them here with us" [Haliza]

She point her finger to Lara, Nara and I. It's true, we can do that, considering we can use every elements possible. Not only that

"Artificial intelligence?" [Diana]

"Well, that's the term they used in my world" [Ash]

"Are you an expert on it?" [Lisa]

"In my world? Of course not" [Ash]

"Then why do you plan on taking this risk?"

"Are you mocking us?"

Some of the diplomats, who's just worrying about the fate if their countries, couldn't handle the joke. Well, I feel bad for them, and what's more, the tense look at Crow and Ceanu Reaves faces as they thought I will just throw those diplomats out of the room makes it even worse, as if I am some sort of villain mastermind. Maybe I will, but this time, I guess the blame is on me for making a joke at a wrong place and time

"Calm down. He isn't that type of man who will say something and fail to deliver it" [First Prince]

Even before Diana try to back me up, the first prince does. He just wanted to access the whole situation without any sort of disturbance, so that's why he make the cal. That, as well as making sure that those diplomats knows who is the one "incharge". Crafty bastard, but whatever, I can and will make sure Diana shine

"Well, I am unaware of how the artificial intelligence work in my world, but the statistical of the artificial intelligence and the spell of this project work rather in a similar way, at least that's my impression. Take a look at this" [Ash]

I bring out one water magic core and use a fortress defense magic on it, with command of putting out fire, before making a simple fire ball at my hand. It put out the fire straight away, that's the basic of fortress defense magic, similar to that of a train AI

"The problem with the Sea Serpent Project is the spell where you didn't know the function of it. In my world, that is an enigma in itself, but in this world, I can at least know the cause of it" [Ash]

"And the cause is?" [Lisa]

"The complexity of the spell make it possible for them to create their own mind. Just like how Housey and Calypso Tree does" [Ash]

"I see. Fundamentally, they're self-evolving by themselves as to sustain themselves, am I right?" [Charlotte]

"But is that's the case, why can't Housey and Calypso Tree analyze it when we asked them?" [Haliza]

"Well, that simply because they lack the "brain" to do so. For once, they're complex themselves, but the complexity of the project is far beyond them, at least for now" [Ash]

"I see. So you're planning on using them as a platform of sort, utilize them after a major upgrade to analyse the project and thus, solving the issue, am I correct?" [Diana]

"80% correct" [Ash]

"So, what's the other 20%" [Muse]

Well, I can tell that they're all excited for the answer

"I need Housey of all orphanages to do it simultaneously with me. This is a major project after all, as such, I need as much "brain" as possible to analyse it. The catch it, whether you like it or not, the Sea Serpent Project need to be activated first, so that we can utilize the very same project to our advantage" [Ash]

"Why is that?" [Queen Rinz]

"I think I kinda get it. You can upgrade the Housey here in Estel, but not in Malsia, Kiserre, Demon and Beastman Kingdom. As such, once you upgrade the "brain" here, and start the project, you can upgrade the Housey elsewhere, and start fixing the problem" [Charlotte]

"Hence, why I need the project to be up running first" [Ash]

"And who will help run the "brain" elsewhere" [First Prince]

"For that, I need the court magician of the respective countries to help me. Diana, if you would?" [Ash]

"I will" [Diana]

"I know I can count on you" [Ash]

"Question, what is the chance of the communication stones suddenly blown up?" [King Estel]

That's a good question. We are using the communication stones that I implanted years ago to make the telephone communication work. If it suddenly blew up, the disaster... I don't want to imagine it

"Under my hand, I can make it to less than 10%. Of course, that's not including any unforeseen circumstances such as the devil attacking the communication stones" [Ash]

That, I can make sure of. After a seriously long Q&A that drain me away

"It's decided, the project will continue" [King Estel]

That it does.

"Don't you want to sing a song for this occasion, Seraph?" [Saint Louis]

"Hmm? Why of course" [Seraph]

"?" [Diana]

(((...))) [Ash, Rumia, Saint Louis]

Looks like even Saint Louis and Diana starting to felt something wrong. It's just a faint aching of "something out of the line here". Could we be the one overthinking it?
