The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4590

In the end, the crowning of the Everchanger energized every living mech of the Larkinson Clan.

They became more hopeful and optimistic about the future as they finally gained a collective voice to speak on their behalf!

By becoming more organized, they could not only sort out all of the internal issues that had piled up over the years, but also work towards improving their relationships with other external partners.

The Everchanger already published a modest list of short-term goals, from giving living mechs the right to experience life among the humans by controlling mechanical cat avatars, to giving them greater choice in picking their own mech pilots.

Many of the expert hybrid mech's goals required the cooperation of the Larkinson Clan in order to implement. This was also one of the reasons why the Everchanger emphasized the importance of maintaining a fruitful relationship with humans.

Once the inauguration ceremony had come to an end, all of the living mechs began to depart the Anima Hall and pull out of the MSTS at their own pace.

The Everchanger only stuck around long enough to chat with the rivals who had lost the first election.

"CONGRATULATIONS, EVERCHANGER." The feminine voice of the Minerva spoke up. "I WOULD HAVE PREFERRED TO WEAR THE CROWN MYSELF, BUT I WILL ENTRUST IT IN YOUR CARE FOR THE UPCOMING TEN YEARS."

The Everchanger's three eyes flashed. "YOU SOUND AWFULLY CONFIDENT THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO GATHER THE MOST VOTES IN THE NEXT ELECTION."

Mechs generally didn't have mouths which they could use to express their feelings and emotions. They mostly made do by radiating them directly or making exaggerated physical gestures.

Right now, the Minerva crossed her arms in a clear sign of confidence!

"I AM THE BATTLE PARTNER OF THE SMARTEST AND MOST COMPETENT MECH PILOT OF THE LARKINSON CLAN. I MAY HAVE LOST THIS BATTLE, BUT I WILL BE MUCH BETTER PREPARED THE NEXT TIME NOW THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN 'ELECTION' MYSELF. IN FACT, IT IS BETTER TO ALLOW YOU TO TAKE THE FIRST TURN. I WILL BE IN A MUCH BETTER POSITION TO ENACT MY PROPOSALS WHEN THE ANIMA ORDER HAS GOTTEN OFF THE GROUND."

The Everchanger did not deign to respond to his defeated opponent. He instead turned to the weakest mech among the three.

"WHAT ABOUT YOU, QUINT?"

The gold-coated mech shrugged. "EH, I MIGHT NOT BE CUT OUT FOR THIS BUSINESS. I ONLY TOOK PART IN THE FIRST PLACE BECAUSE IT WAS INTERESTING AND BECAUSE MANY MECHS EXPECT ME TO STAND UP FOR THE 'LITTLE MECHS' THAT AREN'T AS POWERFUL OR VALUABLE AS EXPERT MECHS."

"THAT IS EXACTLY WHY WE NEED YOUR INPUT." The Everchanger said as he raised his arm and placed it on the other mech's shoulder. "AS YOU HAVE SAID, THE MINERVA AND I ARE MECHS ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL. WE DON'T HAVE AS MUCH OF A CONNECTION TO THE 'GRASSROOTS' AS YOU. I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOU TO HELP ME CONVEY THE DEMANDS OF THE ORDINARY MECHS."

The Quint became intrigued. "ARE YOU ASKING ME TO BECOME YOUR ADVISOR? I MIGHT DECIDE TO FORM AN OPPOSITION INSTEAD. IT DEPENDS ON HOW ANNOYING YOU ARE. I'M NOT GOING TO ROLL OVER AND AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAY."

"WE CAN FIGURE OUT THE DETAILS LATER."

When Venerable Joshua and the Everchanger finally pulled out of the MSTS, the two remained silent for a time. While they remained connected through the neural interface, they both held different thoughts on how the prior event unfolded.

Joshua finally composed his thoughts.

"Congratulations for winning the election." He eventually spoke. "I was banking on your victory and I am glad it is you who has received the right to wear the Secret Crown."

"WELL, I MAY HAVE INHERITED TOO MUCH OF YOUR SAPPINESS TO DEVELOP GREATER AMBITIONS." The Everchanger voice's boomed inside his own cockpit. "I COULD USE YOUR PERSPECTIVE TO OBTAIN A SECOND OPINION OF MY IDEAS, BUT I WON'T BE SHARING EVERYTHING WITH YOU. THE ANIMA ORDER MUST FIRST AND FOREMOST BE AN ORGANIZATION FOR LIVING MECHS, SO HUMANS LIKE YOU SHOULDN'T GET TOO INVOLVED."

"I understand. I don't mean to pry too closely in your business. I trust you to keep your organization on the right track. I will gladly help you when I can. Helping you fulfill your goals during your term will make me feel accomplished as well."

Venerable Joshua had pinned much of his hopes on the cause of the living mechs. As long as he did his part to help the Anima Order grow into a positive influence in human society, he would feel more fulfilled.

He could already feel his willpower becoming more invigorated after this event. Living mechs had taken their first concrete steps to establishing their group, and the following years became a crucial period where they developed their own culture, established their own institutions and set their future aspirations.

As Joshua continued to chat with the Everchanger on what they should do next, Ves processed what had happened within the MSTS.

He had been observing the live feeds provided by the hidden sensors planted in the Ramage Repulsor System.

So far, the Cenatus Prospecting fleet appeared to have taken the bait, just as he expected. He grinned in satisfaction as he saw the ships under the command of Otrus Magrin starting to burn in the direction of the brown dwarf star. They all approached the planet that was orbiting close to the larger stellar object.

"Miaow~"

"I love you too, Clixie~"

Meanwhile, Aurelia sat on his hard lap while affectionately brushing Clixie's coat of fur. She occasionally bent down to plant kisses onto the Rubarthan Sentinel Cat's head.

"Aurelia."

This was a more complicated question because he wasn't asking Aurelia to analyze an existing circumstance. He was prompting her to use her mind to formulate an action plan. _{freēwebnovel.com}
