I thought it was about time, but I didn't think it was such a good time. For now, I sent His Majesty the King of Belfast, who was in a hurry, to the castle in Belfast at the "Gate" and left the game to the Duke. Well, two more outs or a reversal of fortunes and the game would be over, but we couldn't wait.
　In one of the rooms of the castle, deliveries had already begun and we couldn't go in. I can still understand it, but not even my husband, the king, is thoroughly forbidden to enter. I still understand, but even her husband, the king, is not allowed to enter. It's a royal family tradition or to ward off evil spirits or something. Well, I can't help you if you go in there.
　For now, I'll wait in the next room next door, which is empty in between. I heard the queen's voice is not to be heard, but sometimes I can hear her distressed voice faintly....
　Leaving His Majesty the King wandering around the room, he opens the 'gate' and calls Yumina and the others over. It's the birth of a little brother or sister for Yumina, too.
　Yumina immediately headed to the Queen's place. Everyone else goes to help. In the end, His Majesty and I were left alone again.
　I can't help but do this, so I'll leave Amber here in case something happens and go back to Brunhild for a while.
　The game was 3-2 and Mismid won. The players were sent back to their respective countries and the kings were sent home. They were very anxious about the birth of the child, but we promised to send them a letter in the gate mirror if the child was born safely, and they left.
　When I returned to Belfast Castle with Prince Ortlinde and Sue, I found that the baby was not yet born, and His Majesty was still very anxious and fidgety.

''It's going to take a long time...''
''When Umina was born, she was born right away. Seems a bit late...

　It hasn't even been practically an hour yet, but it feels so long. Every time I hear the Queen's distressed voice every now and then, I get scared. Men are so helpless at times like this.....
　I mean, if this was the birth of my own child and that voice was his wife, I don't have the confidence to endure it....... No, wait a minute. If Dr. Babylon is right, that means I'm going to have at least nine more births of children after this one!

I can't imagine...

　I followed His Majesty the King, who had been pacing around the room for a while now, with a blank stare, wondering if I would be doing that in a few years.
　I was about to connect my phone to the internet, wondering how many hours it would take to give birth, when I heard a faintly cheerful voice saying "oyah, oyah!
　Bang! And His Majesty the King ran out of the room. We hurriedly followed him and ran to the front of the Queen's room.
　As expected, His Majesty the King couldn't jump in, and as we waited for someone to come out of the room, the door opened and Linse showed us her face.

''...I'm born. A healthy boy, that is. Mother and child both healthy,''
'Right! Right! Man!

　His Majesty the King walks in happily. Thinking it would be rude to see the queen who had just given birth to a child, the duke and I decided to wait in the corridor.

''A boy...a prince, huh? So now there is no chance of Fuyao-dono becoming the king of this country. It's a bit of a shame.''
Oh, come on. Happy day.

　I knew the duke was joking, but I have to admit, I was also relieved. It all comes full circle now.
　Eventually the door opened and His Majesty the King appeared, holding a baby wrapped in a pure white cloth.

'Look! Heir to our country!
Congratulations to you, brother.
Congratulations.

　The newborn baby was wrinkled and honestly looked like a monkey. But it's so small. If you hold him in your arms, he might break. In the meantime, I'm going to say that he is my brother-in-law.

I'm not going to be able to get it right. I'd like Fuyao-dono to be the godfather of this child, do you have a good name?
'What? Me? !

　Even if you say so........ Let's see, your sister is Yumina, right? Ah.....

How about Yamato........
'Yamato the Yamato................. Yamato Hernes Belfast.......yeah, not bad. Not bad. Okay, this one's a Yamato! It's Prince Yamato!

　I just raised one letter of Yumina's name in alphabetical order. Well, if you take "Yamato", it's a strong name. I think it's not a bad name. It might not be very auspicious for a battleship, but it's a different world, and I don't think I'd mind.
　His Majesty, the King's Royal Highness lifted Prince Yamato high and expressed his joy.

''Huey..................''
"Awwww.

　His Majesty hurriedly returns to the room with the prince, who was surprised to be lifted up high and cried out in a big way. You are too excited. When a child is born, the parents are like this, I guess. Children, it's scary.



　Then, the announcement of the birth of the prince was made immediately.
　The announcement was made in the evening, and in the blink of an eye, the castle town was filled with people celebrating it at night. I had the privilege of setting off a few fireworks to celebrate. (Actually, they were dropped from Babylon.)
　At the same time, the engagement of the princess, Yumina, was announced. The other party is the Duke of an emerging nation. In other words, it's me. It seems that this one has also caused quite a stir.
　It seems to be a kind of success story for an adventurer-turned-adventurer to become king and marry a princess, and the guild is making a big announcement about it to add to the excitement.
　Furthermore, not only Yumina, but also the engagement to the third princess of the Regulus Empire, Princess Lucia, was also announced. Probably, the same announcement has been made by the Empire as well.
　I think the people felt that with this, Belfast and Regulus had become a deep alliance.
　Everyone else didn't make any announcements, but they didn't seem to care. Yah, only Sue was a bit puffed up, though.
　So I've accepted Suu as a fiancée too, but as expected, I'm not ready to take her back to Brunhild yet. The duke and Lady Ellen would miss me.
　That's why I connected Sue's room at the Ortlinde residence to the newly prepared room at Brunhild with a "gate" so that she can come and go as she pleases. You can come and go as you please.

Haha........I'm glad you were born safe!
I'm a bit impressed, that I am...

　Everyone who witnessed the birth of Prince Yamato is weakening on the couch in the guest room they were given. Yumina and Sue are not here, but Else and Linse, Yae and Lou, all of them may be experiencing relief and joy.

''...Are we going to have a baby one of these days, too, huh?

　Everyone blushed and turned their eyes in a different direction as Linse blurted out a mutter. What is this air? I can't help but blush.
　Anyway, that day was a grand festival with the whole town. Even the royal palace served alcohol and everyone rejoiced at the birth of the prince.
　Congratulatory messages arrived from all over the world in the gate mirror, and His Majesty the King had a smirk on his face. I promised myself that I would be careful not to end up like that.




　I thought things were settled with the birth of Prince Yamato in Belfast, with the problems of the Kingdom of Linie settled.

'My name is Fleur. I would like to thank His Majesty the Prince for his help.
Uh ... no, don't worry about it.

　A woman with light brown hair in a bob cut stood in front of me. She was about twenty years old? She was the slave woman who freed me from that Zabun. I honestly forgot about her....
　I've been slammed for a while. I heard that Fleur-san has been in our castle ever since then, but I finally got to meet her today. Or rather, I remembered.

Zabun was sent to the mines in Sandra as a criminal slave. You are free now. If you want to go back to your home, I'll send you back, but...
'No, let me work in this country. My homeland is no longer attacked by bandits, and I do not wish to return to Linier.

　Well, I was dragged around as a slave in that country........ Maybe even if the king changes, he'll remember something he doesn't like.

''That's right........ Well then, there's an inn I know in the castle town, do you want to work there?
'Yes! Best regards!

　So I told her what happened and decided to hire Fleur at "Silver Moon". I'm glad that Micah accepted the job with a resounding yes.
　It's not really a thank you, but I gave her some of the special potions from the 'Alchemy Building'. I might need them in case someone is injured.

How's the traffic? Is it profitable?
'Well, when I say it's profitable, I mean it's profitable. There are almost no vacancies. It's on the trade route between Belfast and Regulus, so there are a lot of travelers. Oh, well, I've heard some strange things.
What's so funny?

　In effect, this 'Silver Moon' Brunhild branch was not only an inn, but also a base for information gathering. The employees were almost all Takeda ninja outfits, who were also responsible for monitoring and gathering information on suspicious characters, world information, and the like.

It is said that in the southern part of the Federation of Rhodomea, in a village called Somehow, a magical beast with a body like a crystal appeared. It was about the size of a bear and shaped like a praying mantis.
....!

　It's a flaze. In terms of size, it's probably a lower class flay - the same type as that cricket-shaped one we first met.

So, what happened to that magical beast?
I heard that the guild sent a strike force to kill them. But the village was devastated, and the strike team suffered a lot of damage.

　You beat him. It's not like a lower-grade Frayze wouldn't manage to defeat it.
　However, the flames are starting to appear in our world, little by little. Are the world's wards becoming untenable?
　Ende didn't seem to show up, but maybe the lower level Frays dare to ignore them.

'We've got to hurry things up,'

　I asked Micah to give Fleur my regards and opened the "gate" to "Babylon".
