Creston lives in the villa of the Dukes of Solstice.
　Yui was taking a walk in the manicured garden.
　She lovingly touches her large abdomen, which seems to be about to give birth, and happily murmurs, "I hope you'll be born healthy, my sweet baby.
　But there is one person who is looking at her anxiously.

Yui ......, please stay in your room. If anything should happen, I will ......".

　Yes, it's Ad, her fiancé on Earth and now her de facto husband in the other world.
　As her belly grew, he had become unusually overprotective.
　Well, it was the first time he was going to witness a birth, so it was understandable that he was anxious.

"Oh, a little exercise is good for the body, even for pregnant women.　You worry a lot, Shun.
No, it's normal to worry.
I'm fine with a walk in the garden. I'm more worried that you'll go bald from the stress. ......

　In order to earn a living, Ado, who is taken care of by Creston, is engaged in the production of magic scrolls and the engraving of magic formulas on magic stones and magic crystals used for magic tools.
　Recently, he has been involved in the production of the magnetic force-generating parts in the magic motor, which is also a part of the magic motor carriage, and has been working very hard to teach the mages of the Solistair faction of mages.
　But when he came home, he was a husband and soon to be a father.
　Anyway, he was so worried about Yui that he was always following her around. It's annoying to watch, but Yui seems to be very happy.

What, are you going to stay with her again?　You're going to be a father, so why don't you stand your ground?
"Mr. Creston ......, however...
You know best how I feel. You're the one who knows best when it comes to your health. You've got a doctor in your house and you're fully capable of handling anything. Don't you trust him a little?

　Creston couldn't help but chuckle at Ad's behavior, as he had experienced the same feeling before.
　However, it was Yui who was going to give birth, so Ad's stalking her would not change anything.
　I'm not saying it's useless, but seeing Ad like this every day makes me want to tell him to calm down.

Ad, you're more of a loving wife than I thought. ......
No, Lisa. No, Lisa. I think he's just tetchy. You don't get bored every day. As a woman, I'm a little jealous. ......
Where is that dark feeling you had on the plains of Luda Ilulu?
"From the looks of you, you'll most likely be an idiot when you have a girl. I can see you, Ad, casting dangerous magic in retaliation for an abused child. ......
"Let's do this!

　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do it. He seems to have a high probability of becoming the second Creston.
　As I watched him, I thought to myself, "I've always wanted a daughter, too. I wanted to have a daughter too, but my son is too much ......" Creston was muttering to himself.
　As they were enjoying their time together, Dantis, the butler of the house, came out of the house quickly.

"Mister Ad, are you here?
"Oh, Mr. Dantis. What's wrong?
"A messenger came by earlier and said the Master wanted Lord Ad and Lord Xellos to come. It was urgent. I was looking for you.
"The Duke of Delsasis?　What does he want?
I'm afraid I don't know. ......
I don't know. ...... Lord Ad, with him, it's possible that something terrible has happened.　I'm sure that's what you're trying to do.

　Creston knew his own son's character well.
　Unfortunately, we can't read into his actions, but we can predict that with the selection of Ad and Xellos, there is a good chance that trouble may have occurred. That's when you choose the right people.

"Can't you have your own men?
"A lot of knights and mages were pulled out to King's Landing during the last structural reform in my territory. I'm not sure what to do with it.
No, he's probably got people working for him behind the scenes at .......
You don't want to say anything about that, do you?　You never know where they might be listening. He's the kind of guy who always gets involved in danger, and when he comes to you with the news, you've already blocked his way out. You are not even allowed to say no.
"...... Is there no choice? I've got no choice but to go. ...... I'm a hired hand.
Your back is sooty.

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.
　In the event that you've got any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, we'll be happy to assist you.

"Shun, fight!
Ad-san, hang in there!
"Come back alive!

　With the cheers of the crowd behind him, Ado made his way through the back gate towards the house where Xellos lived, and disappeared through the back gate into the woods.

...... By the way, Celestina hasn't returned, does Dantis know anything?　I've been so busy that I forgot to mention that the academy should have been on winter break by now. ....... I'm sure you've heard of it.
I'm not sure what to make of it. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. It's not uncommon for the winter vacations to be delayed, but the personnel changes resulting from this organizational reform are on a national scale. ......
Oh, my God. ......

　The impact of the boot camp conducted by the old man and the tactical organizational reforms proposed by the Weasler School graduate mages, including the practice-oriented Zveit, had taken the fun out of one old man's life.
　Mages were assigned, trained, and moved to the right place at the right time, and the instructors at the academy were constantly changing, forcing lectures to be delayed.


　In fact, the school went on winter vacation about two weeks ago.
In fact, the school went on winter vacation about two weeks ago. The top-performing students, such as Zveit and the others, are at Ether Lante, and due to the personnel changes that are still in the works, the word came late. Creston, who loves his grandchildren, is depressed when he realizes this.
　Creston seems to have the same sooty back.


I was in the forest.

　Ten minutes walk through the forest from the back gate of the villa.
　Ad arrived at Xellos' house.
　As usual, the oddly evolved cockerel was working on his martial arts training, the other cockerels were cutting weeds in the field, and the owner was in the middle of assembling something that looked like a motorcycle in the yard.

"Hey, Xelloss.
"Oro?　It's Ad-kun, ....... What's wrong with you?　What's up?
No, the Duke wants to see you. The Duke wants me and Mr. Xelloss.
"The Duke of Delsacis?　I wonder.
I don't know. He wants us to come to his lordship's house.

　The Duke of Delsacis is not the kind of man to call for help.
　He solves most things on his own, so when he uses Xellos as a pawn, it's safe to assume that something serious has happened.
　I don't mind that he is bored, but I don't want him to get into trouble.

Right now?
"Oh, I heard that someone from ...... came by, so it must be urgent. By the way, this is an Air Rider, right?　And the Harley?

　The Xeros were assembling two bikes, a slightly twisted isosceles triangle with an unpainted Air Rider and a Harley Davidson.

The previous ones were made from discarded parts, but they were seriously redesigned. I'm rebuilding the parts from scratch and assembling them. The bike's ready to go, right?
What about the Air Rider?
I've lightened the frame and increased the conductivity of the magic. Unfortunately, I couldn't do anything about the black box.
Were you going to modify it if you could?
Of course not. Of course not. It's crazy not to do it when you can.

'That's a strange way to think about it,' Ad thought, but then remembered that the Zeros tended to thoroughly improve existing things, so he gave up on saying it.
　I don't know how much safety is taken into consideration, but I'm a little relieved that it hasn't been modified more than necessary.

"By the way, the bike is called the Bike Saunders XIII.
I don't know what it is, but I'm relieved that it hasn't been modified more than necessary. The name of the bike is Bike Sanders XIII.
"Mr. Ad, ...... is mixed up, it's mixed up.
I'm not sure if you've made thirteen of these before. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to use it.　And what about the Air Rider?
"Hmmm, ...... [Red Lightning]?　No, the Red Comet would be better.
It's not red and it's three times faster?
At least it'll go the speed of sound, right?　The air nozzles have been modified to maximize the air compression ratio, and flammable liquid fuels are also available at .......　The frame and armor is a lightweight alloy made from Orihalcon and Mithril.
The frame and armor are also made of lightweight alloys that use orichalcon and mithril.　You'll blow up your passengers!

　The Air Rider does not have a canopy like a fighter plane.
　Moreover, the seat is small enough for two passengers to sit on, and the body is much more compact than before.

I've been saying this for a while, but you have to take safety into account!　
"If we can't modify the existing parts, we'll just have to strengthen everything else. What are you talking about?
What are you talking about?
What are you talking about? He's a busy man.
How can ignoring safety be such a simple thing?

　In the event that you have any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, please do not hesitate to contact us.
　The standards of safety are extremely low in this other world. Ad was wondering if he should seriously propose a safety bill for the product to Delsasis.


I'll tell you what.


　I'm sure you've heard of it. The two men arrived at the lord's mansion while arguing with each other.
　As for Xelloss, he understands what Ad is saying.
　However, the fact that he is making it as a hobby and above all, it is the old man himself who will be using it, and because he is a cheat, he will be able to use it even if the performance of his creation is a bit absurd.


　In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find out more about the best way to get it.
　In any case, he was an experienced person, and the memory of the many times he had suffered badly in Sword and Sorcery had made him stubbornly suspicious.
　This argument continued until he came to the front of the office where Delthasys was.

"Sir, Lord Xellos and Lord Ad are here to see you.
Hmm, that was earlier than I expected. Well, that's to be expected, but please enter .......
"Please come in, gentlemen.
"Hi, .......　Maybe you've been timing your arrival?

　I'm not sure what to say or do, but I'm not going to go into it because I'm still a duke.
　In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, there are a number of things you can do.

"Now, about this mission of the two of you: ......
I'm not sure what to do.
That's abrupt, duke. ......

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm sure you'll agree that this is a very good idea.
It's a bit of a turn-off.
I don't know how you came up with that situation, but let's play catch-up. It's too sudden. I'm a little confused.
I see. ....... I admired the scene a little, but it seemed unnatural. It doesn't seem to go as well as the book.

　Delsacis looks a little disappointed.
　For some reason, there was a comic book in his hand that depicted some kind of general purpose humanoid weapon.

I'm not sure how he got that comic .......
"Maybe one of our kind, or one of the brave ones, drew it and sold it. And the drawings are good for nothing.
"This was painted in prison by someone who caused trouble in my territory. It was quite interesting, so I tried binding it and selling it, and it sold surprisingly well. It was a good find, huh?
"It's a rip-off!

　It's not possible for a hero to be in prison. At least two of the brave men Xelloss knew were struggling to make ends meet and were probably still working part-time somewhere.
　No, one of them is likely to get into trouble, but I don't think he's good enough to draw comics while in prison.
　The other heroes are in the Kingdom of Atrum, so we can only assume that they are the same reincarnation.
　And the Duke of Delsacis seems to be aware of the true identity of Xellos and the others. After all, he said, "You people, when you put it this way.

"Lord Delsacis, can you please consider this an unspoken agreement? We want to avoid any trouble.
"So you two are reincarnated. Lately, more and more people in other territories have been doing stupid things, especially the "slave harem," "kemomi harem," and "kill me" .......
"It's embarrassing!　I didn't think that the existence of my kind would be so embarrassing!　Look at the reality, are you stupid?

　It seemed that my countrymen were getting into all sorts of trouble all over the place.
　It seems that there are those who were overjoyed by the cheat reincarnation and did the same stupid thing as Elomra. Too faithful to their s*xual desires.

Well, I don't care about your character or s*xuality if you are capable. If you can't use it, you don't need to support it, just punish it with the law without reservation.
What the hell?
I'm not going to cover up for someone else's screw up either. It's the guy's fault for not thinking things through.
"I'm cold!

　The old man was an old man, and he didn't want to help the guy who made a fool of himself.
　I don't want to help him just because he's from my hometown, because it's just the result of someone else's own fault and he did what he wanted without thinking that his actions were responsible.
　If you indulge them here, there is a high probability that they will reoffend, and above all, there is no way they can survive in another world without learning. Above all, I didn't want to be acquainted with a reincarnation who would do something stupid.

I don't care where or what other reincarnated people do, but if I get to know them, they might take advantage of me. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
I'm not sure if Xellos is sane or not, but I agree with him on that. I'm sure you're not the only one.　Is it a problem?
"That's the thing, I'd like to request you both to investigate. Recently, some suspicious bodies have been found near the border, and the investigation is proving difficult.
Isn't that the job of the people in charge of the security of each territory?　I don't think that's a good reason to call us.
"Why don't you read this report for now? I'd like your opinion on it.

　The paper he handed me contained the current contents of the investigation.
　According to the report, the first victim seemed to be a bandit, and his figure was dried up like a mummy. There were no external injuries, and judging from the condition of the body, he had not been dead very long.
　There were weapons on the ground beside him, indicating that he had fought back, but if he had been attacked by a demon, there should have been some sort of trace. For example, a bloodstain.
No such traces were found.

...... suspicious death?　But dried up like a mummy, ...... this.
"Hmmm ...... drain touch?　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for and how you can get it.
I'm sure you've seen them in the ruins, right?　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.


"Mummification: ...... hey.

　Xelloss and his team's knowledge of monsters was based on Sword and Sorcery, and they had no idea how the victims of energy-draining monsters would die in real life.
　After all, if you die, you take a negative penalty and are resurrected at the save point, so there's no way to know what the victim will look like in real life. Mummification, for example, is a classic example, but you can't know the reality of games and other worlds unless you try.

"What about vampires?
"I heard they don't have any external injuries, so I don't know.　I've never even heard of a vampire since I came to this world. It's not like there were any requests from the mercenary guild to take them down.
I'm sure you have some idea of what ...... demons are. It was a good decision to call you guys after all.
Oh, .......

　The two of you realize that you have made a big mistake here.
　This is the first time that I've ever seen such a thing. It would have been enough to find out the special ability of energy drain.
　However, Xellos and the others mischievously named the monster, even though it was undetermined.
　In other words, it was as if they were testifying that they had fought such monsters before.
　This makes it harder and harder to get out of trouble.

This is the first time I've ever seen a demon make a victim look like this, and I've been struggling to identify it. I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.
I'm not sure what to say. I'm not sure what to make of it.

　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
He judged them based on whether they were useful or not, and used them as pawns to guide him.

It's okay, though. This is a request for an investigation to determine the cause of the problem and to take it down?
"Yes. If you can find the cause and eliminate it, I'd like you to do it. I can promise you a reasonable fee.
I don't really have a choice, do I?　Well, I'll do it if it pays the bills.
If you want, I can get you a place for you and your wife to live. I'll give you a suitable house from my inventory at a reasonable price.
I'll do it, boss!　I'll make sure this request is successful.

　Ado quickly and easily accepted the investigation request.
　Xellos wanted to make a careful decision while negotiating, but his calculations fell apart.
　In addition, there were unforeseen circumstances, and he could not let Ad alone accept the request. If I'm not careful, the ladies will stare at me.
It's a good thing the Duke of Delsacis won the game. I'm sure he knew what you wanted and brought it to you. It's really tough that he doesn't even show an opening.
　The old man had no choice but to resign himself to this.

"Sign this request form, please. I've also prepared a permit to enter the fort so we can examine the victim's body. Good luck to you both.
You're still doing that ...... thing, aren't you?
You're a little more mischievous than I thought. I wish I had someone like him for a boss. ....... I'm going to leave my bike here while I'm here. If there's anything wrong, please bring it to me.
"Well, I guess I can enjoy my vacation a little more now. We'll take it for a test ride tomorrow.

　And so the two received the request for investigation.
　It was unclear if there were any enemies, and the only clue was the body of a bandit.
　There were no hints like in the game, and the difficulty of this investigation would be quite high.
　Xellos and the others began to prepare for their journey as soon as they returned home.

　As a side note, it was on this day that Delsasis began to look forward to becoming a breeze on the streets. And in a different sense, his range of activities has expanded.
　With the disappearance of the underworld bigwigs, Delsacis's power expanded, but the extent of his power is a mystery.

What?


I'm not sure.　Is it a hot spring ......?

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but I think it's a good idea.

I'm not sure. You've been overworking yourself lately, so I'm taking you away from your training and studies for a while. It's all about relaxation.
But, mother, ...... I'm a lord, and I'm going to make sure I'm as good as I can be ...... as soon as possible.
I'm not going to let that ruin my health!　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
"Ugh. ......
And, Christine, ....... It's not wrong to work towards your goals, but we're all worried that you're going to collapse in the near future.
'Mother ......'

　It is true that Christine was striving to become a lord.


　Just thinking back, she read until late at night, spent her day training to improve her sword skills, and practiced etiquette and magic.
　This is partly due to the fact that her motivation has increased to an unusual degree since she became able to use magic.
　It was also because she wanted to be one step closer to her father, who risked his life for his people.
　But it's true that I haven't had a proper rest lately. It seems to me that he was out of control because he felt a definite response.

You're going to be a lord, but if you get a son-in-law, you'll be supporting your husband.　It's a good idea to have a good time.
I'm not that muscular. ...... Where did your mother get that word from?　No, I'm not that muscular!
But there is a chance that you might become one if you continue like this, isn't there?　My mother is worried about me. ...... Recently, I've been throwing my underwear carelessly in the bathroom and jumping into the bathtub. ....... Where has the taste of womanhood gone? ....... My mother is sad. ......
Yes, that's ....... In addition, it has nothing to do with going on a spa trip,.......

　It was a secret pleasure of Christine's these days to occasionally throw politeness out the window and do something unbecoming. But as a noblewoman, I'm not so sure about that.
　She muttered in her mind that since she usually tried to act like a noblewoman, she should be able to ignore at least a few things.
　However, when her mother told her in front of her, her face turned red with shame.

She said, "This is also because of ...... the burden I put on her after she passed away. Yo-yo-yo~
"Mother, this is deliberate. All right, I'm coming!　You just need to get some rest!
Yeah, just get some rest. He's such a pain in the ass. ......
Is it my fault?　Hey, is it my fault that this is going on?
Also, your language is reverting from me to me.　Not even close.
So, where do you learn to use language like that? ......

　Marguerite, who is usually a lady, sometimes plays with Christine.
　I'm not sure if it's a good thing or not, but it's a good thing. She kills two birds with one stone, but the teasing only embarrasses her.

By the way, the story is from this book.　The Baseball Prince and the Super Brothers.
I don't care about the first one, but isn't the other one a little weird?
That guy looked skinny, but when he took off his clothes, he was amazing. ....... Muscles are good, right?　Oh, but I don't want my daughter to get really muscular. ......
So I'm not going to be that muscular!
You can't make a monster ray out of your head, but you can make a beam out of your eye.
"Mother!

　Sometimes Christine didn't know who her mother was.
　I don't know what I want from my daughter. .......

And you're going to the spa with three other people. I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with that. The other reason is that they are about to expire and our budget does not allow us to take anyone else. ...... and transportation costs.
What?　I don't care if it's Izzard, but with Dr. Sirgus?
He's an old man, after all, and he wants to take some time off to rest his bones. He's had a lot of back pain lately.
You were doing combat training with the knights just now. ......?　Yes, you need to rest. Please don't stare at me, mother. ...... I'm scared. So when are you going on your spa trip?
"Three days from now. One of the knights happened to win a free hotel ticket in a lucky draw, but he couldn't make it due to some business, so I asked Izart to make it available for him.
I can't believe that word, 'graciously'. ....... I'm sure you've been reckless.

　Although Viscount Eckwell's estate is small, it is financially prosperous because of the rare medicinal herbs and mushrooms from the forest and also the cultivation.
　There are many orders from alchemists for their preparations, and the family is favored by mages throughout the country. The reason why they are a knightly family in such a territory is because they have always had children with low magical power, and they gave up on becoming mages as soon as they were old enough.
　In other words, the family has become an athletic one, and until recently, they have spent all their time training with swords in a passionate manner.
　In other words, there are a lot of good-natured but bad-tempered people, some of whom are a bit pushy, and even when they ask for a favor, they seem to be threatening.
　Moreover, if you are surrounded by several men of good physique, you might say "yes" even if you don't want to because of their power. Even if you are asking legitimately, the scene is a crime scene.

Did you pay the money?
"But you threatened him a lot, didn't you?　Three days later is too short a time!
No, I didn't. No, of course not.
Then talk to me face to face. And why are you telling me this twice?

　Margrit was strict about her daughter's education, but she was even more of a parental fool.
　Normally, she never loses her resolute attitude, but when it's just the mother and daughter, she can ruffle feathers like this. It is in such situations that she acts out of character.

I'm not threatening you!　I'm not threatening you!　You can trust me. ......


"Huh~...... either way, I have to take my leave, don't I?　Your mother has caused the loss of a precious person, and I don't know who that person is, but I can't let her sacrifice be in vain.
"That's a very ...... unpleasant thing to say. I didn't kill anyone. ......
It's true that I've been cramming too much into my life lately, and I've been worried about you. I'm going to take advantage of your kindness here.

　Thinking that I am blessed, I decided to take advantage of the kindness of my family members.
　She wanted to apologize sincerely, because it seemed like she was pushing herself too hard. However, in Christine's position, she could not apologize herself.
　Her position as a noblewoman was troublesome in many ways.

I have to prepare souvenirs for everyone, don't I?
"Oh, Mom, I'd like some Rooseberry wine. The area around the village of Lisaguer is famous for its wine. It used to be that merchants would come from the Holy Land via the long way around, so the prices were very high.
"It's a town now.　Well then, let's give everyone a bottle of wine each.

　The looseberry is a grape-like plant that bears fruit in winter.
　The flowers bloom in the fall, and after the petals fall off, the plant produces semi-circular clusters. One of the berries can be thought of as a blueberry.
　The berries are delicious when eaten as they are, with a sour sweetness, but when made into wine, they become an excellent quality liquor. In addition, it can be used as a material for liqueur potions.
　Low-ranked ones can be purchased at a reasonable price even by ordinary people, and it is a product that even poor mages and alchemists want.

"Isn't it quite expensive?
I don't mind if the quality is a little low. Even so, the taste is irresistible to wine lovers.
I don't know, I'm not much of a drinker. ......
I don't know, I'm not much of a drinker, but " "You're too young to know what alcohol tastes like, Christine. It's hard to be a social butterfly when you can't even taste it.
"...... You don't need your mother's gifts, do you? You don't need another gift from your mother. We'll prioritize the ones for everyone at the mansion, so how do we get that many?
"Oh, my God!　You're kidding, right?　You can't be serious, can you?

　Marguerite was an avid drinker, and when it came to wine, she was a sight for sore eyes. Marguerite was a drinker, and she was even more so when it came to wine. She was desperate to please her daughter.
　At this point, the situation was completely reversed.

'Hey, have we got a deal? I think it's time for my lecture.
"Oh, Dr. Sergas.

　While the mother and daughter were chatting, a huge old mage knocked on the door and visited the room.
　It's a good thing I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

Hmm, are you still in trouble?　But it's already been decided that you'll be taking a leave of absence, so Christine doesn't have a choice, does she?
"No, we've already discussed that. I'm just trying to figure out how I'm going to carry the gifts I'm going to buy for the people in the house. Not including your mother's. ......
"Oh no, don't be such a prude!　Please go get me some wine!　Does Christine not like her mother?　Do you hate me now?

　As Marguerite clung desperately to her daughter's waist and pleaded with her, there was not a trace of her usual sternness as the head of the family.
　The teary-eyed figure of Marguerite trying to persuade her daughter somehow was too pathetic.
　He's just a drunkard.

...... I have a bag of items that I got in a dungeon a long time ago.　It can hold more than it looks, so carrying your stuff is no problem.
"Oh, that's fine. You can now buy souvenirs without worry. Except for your mother's. ......
Oh my God, you're serious?　Please tell me you're lying. ～～～～～

　Marguerite's pleas were completely ignored.
　In the event that you've got a lot of money, you'll be able to use it to buy a lot of things.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it.　I'm begging you! While being seen off by my mother who cried out in tears, "Please!
　In the early morning, Christine was seriously embarrassed to be seen by the people starting their work.
