It's been a week since the Imperial Rebellion. His Majesty the Emperor has honored me as the hero who put down the recent rebellion and saved the Imperial City. In my position, I am the adventurer from Belfast who saved the Imperial City.
　I took advantage of this opportunity to announce our friendship and alliance with Belfast, while at the same time dividing our territories from each other and authorizing the founding of the Duchy of Brunhild. I am the Duke of Brunhild.
　The establishment of the new state seems to have surprised everyone, but at present it is an empty plain. They didn't take much interest in it. Well, I'm not thinking of doing anything about it right away either. There's nothing to call a country, and there are no plans to move the people or anything else. Let's just think of it as a big extraterritoriality land that was given to us. I might make a farm or an orchard, though.
　The announcement of his engagement to Yumina and Lou has been put off. For Belfast, my position will also change depending on whether the child Queen Euell will have is a boy or a girl. For this reason, the announcement of my engagement to Yumina was postponed, and it was decided that it would be a good idea to announce only Lou's.
　General Bazur and several military officers were executed. It was total treason, so it's not surprising. The "sucker bracelets" and "barrier bracelets" recovered from the general were the ones that caused such a commotion. They might come up again with the same ambition. Both Belfast and Regulus decided that this would only be a source of conflict, so they ended up destroying it.
　There was no way we could say, "Actually, that's Babylon's inheritance and I have the right to own it! I thought about replacing it with a fake one made in the workshop, but I didn't think it would be a good idea to deceive the king and the emperor in that way. Even if they were to be my father-in-law, they were the people who would be my father-in-law.
　The two arm rings were both flattened with "gravity" in front of both of their Majesties. I guess it was close after all.......
　Well, the country was divided and transferred from both countries, and the country was founded, but....

"...you're going to move to that country after all?
Hello? I don't plan on it, but?

　I drink the tea Lime brought me in the living room while answering Linse's words. Because it's inconvenient. It's more convenient to be in the royal capital.

''But it's fine for now, that it's fine, but I think we'll have to move anyway, that I'm sure we'll have to move.
'What? Why?
'Silly me. After this, both Yumina and Lucia announced their engagement, and yet if you lived here, you'd think I'm a Belfast-leaning person.

　Oh, I see. Isn't that interesting for the Imperial side... Well, it can be said that if there's a 'gate', whether it's the royal capital or the imperial capital, you can go there in an instant, so there's no problem.

Then I'll have no choice but to live in Brunhild. What should we do.........will we transfer this mansion to the other side?
'I think it would be better to leave it here as a base for the royal city. As the embassy of the Duchy of Brunhild.

　Well, yeah. Youmina has a point. Then, we need to build a place to live over there.

Do we buy a mansion somewhere and move it to Brunhild? No, it would be better to transfer the empty house in Babylon to...
'Why don't you build a castle anyway? Even if it's true, Fuyao-sama is the king of that country, so it would be nice if you could modify the mansion to your liking instead of looking for it.
'Oh, that's nice. A beautiful, all-white castle or something nice.

　Yumina responded to Lou's suggestion and began to squeak and shout. You are really good friends. It's because they are the same age as each other that they have been hanging out a lot lately. It's a good idea to have a good time with them. It's much better than being on bad terms with each other, so that's a big help to me.

''Castle-nee........''

　Connect your phone to the internet and search for images with the word "castle". Pappa-pappa, images of various castles appear in the air.

"...Fuyao-san, what's this?
A catalogue of castles... sort of like a picture book.

　He responded vaguely to Linze, sliding through image after image.

'There are castles like Yishen's, that is.

　I searched just for "castle", so I guess you got Japanese castles in there too. But there are so many castles. I didn't know there was such a thing as a "Steen Castle". I'm a bit of a slippery user, so this might be a good reference for me.

"This castle is beautiful and white.

　Lou stopped to look at Fulboká Castle in the Czech Republic? Sure, it's white and beautiful, but........

'No, but...? I think it's too big. We don't have any vassals to begin with. Isn't it rather inconvenient to be this big...?
Hmmm, when you put it that way...
'Do you want to start by building one small castle, and then add more as the need arises?

　And even if I decide to, I can't build a castle for me. No, if you have the materials, you can build the exterior with "modeling", right? It's a lot of work. But it's impossible to see the interior. You can only see part of it from the pictures. If we take a look at Belfast Castle as a reference, we might be able to do it, but we don't know how long it'll take.

I wonder if there are any affordable castles out there that aren't being used...
This is not going to happen, sir!

　Bang! And Rosetta, in her work clothes, burst into the room. Wow, you startled me!

Now is the time! Now is the time to show the power of the workshop!

　I clenched my fist powerfully and held it up to the heavens. That's pretty intense, man.

In addition to the duplication function, the Kobo is equipped with an automatic modification function! You can modify the scanned object to your liking and make it your own!

　Mufu, Rosetta explains at once with a snort. An automatic modification function? Can you modify a scan?

Come on, let's go! To my 'studio'!



　With Lou in tow, who had never seen Babylon before, we all walked into the Workshop, a pure white cube. Small cubes were stacked one on top of another from the floor, and in no time at all, a sort of monitor was being built up in front of Rosetta. Similarly, a small chair was being built up behind her. Rosetta sits in that chair and touches her hand to the monitor.

'For now, I'm going to scan this country's castles.

　Babylon was moved over the castle beforehand. Thanks to the stealth feature, no one would notice. But it's strange how many times I've seen that the shadow doesn't even fall....... ........Let's not question the magic. Baldy.

　The Belfast Castle from above appears on the monitor in front of me. I thought the green light enveloped the castle for a moment, and then a sort of three-dimensional image of the castle floated on the screen.

'Scan complete. Switching to automatic modification. Do you have any orders?

　Rosetta turns around and asks us.

'It's not an order, it's... well. First of all, it doesn't have to be this big. Can you clear out a few rooms for us?
Yes, sir.

　As Rosetta holds her hand up to the 3D image, various parts of the castle are greatly reduced and compacted. Will the design also change?

'Oh, and I don't mind this tower. Take it off. The courtyard should be a little bigger over here.'

　The castle transforms again to meet my orders. So this is what it means to remodel. This is certainly a good idea. The detailed settings and transformations are done automatically by the workshop.

Does everyone have any suggestions?
'Yes..... I'd like to have a wider balcony.
I want a bigger dojo in the castle, that I do.
Oh, well, then I want an indoor fighting ring.
I want you to divide the library into several sections.
'I wish the moat was a little wider and had a bigger drawbridge.

　One by one, the shape of the castle is changing as everyone orders in. There are no longer any remnants of the first Belfast Castle anywhere. It's completely different. The moat, the gates, the drawbridge, and the surrounding buildings were changing as well as the castle.

Is this all right?
Yeah, no problem. So? How are we going to build this?
We'll go to the site and build the parts according to the data here, deform the land, and then transfer them back to the building site. It will be ready in three days.

　Three days to make this stuff. That's impressive, isn't it? If we use this, we can make a city out of it, right?

It's a matter of material.
... what?

　Material....what...what? The castle? Wait a minute, what's going on?

You mean materials for the castle? Marble or brick?
Not only that, we have all the materials you need, from glass, wood, brass, iron and other metals to silk, cotton, linen and other fabrics.
Can you do it?

　You have no idea how much work it takes to collect it all! Then it wouldn't make much difference if you paid to build a castle on a regular basis! Just to save on labor costs! No, the cost of labor for a single castle might be a lot of money!

Um, does that have to be new material?

　Lou asks Rosetta timidly.

It's not a problem if the material is old because it's taken apart once and rebuilt. It's a good thing that the materials are not too old, because they can be disassembled and rebuilt, but if they are too decayed, it's impossible to rebuild them.
''........Then there should have been a large fort that was abandoned in the north of the Empire. If we recovered it in its entirety, it could be used as sufficient material...

　I see! If we use what was originally a castle, we'll need significantly less material. Even if you can't use cloth and other materials because they're tattered, you can still use stone, metal, and glass if you rebuild them. If it's a discarded castle, it won't matter if it disappears. I'll ask the emperor's permission to go to the castle, right away.
　Just when you think you've got it all figured out, it's the right day. For some reason, Lou herself, who suggested it, apologetically stops me from taking action immediately.


...what?
It's a ghost.

　Hey, hey. Ghost Castle...?
