Soon after, in the private lobby of the bar. Aya and Kiku sat across the table from de Motti.
"I first want to extend my gratitude to the Maltese Unitary Republic of Hispania for their extensive deployment of resources in the defense of Kinkaku-ji. Repairs are well underway and our casualties are minimised by your support. I decided it was necessary to call for this meeting to talk about the future of Kinkaku-ji. The Naval attack has been averted, but the base will need to be reinforced if it is to withstand another siege.
This brings me to you. The Golden Chrysanthemums do not have the expertise to construct the base I have envisioned on their own. You have seen Kinkaku-ji and the potentional it has. I would like to request the help of Maltese engineers to improve and fortify Kinkaku-ji."
