''Well as always, I'm glad you're Fuyu-dono, Fuyu-dono.
Indeed. I guess we're in luck.
What's that?

　The words of Emperor Regulus and King Belfast, speaking while looking up at the towering heavy knight《Chevalier》, made me tsk at the words of Emperor Regulus and King Belfast.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. I don't think I'd stand up to him by showing him this.
"That's right......... Even if it isn't, it's so strong it's almost a foul........ After all this time, who the hell are you?

　King Leafs and King Mithmid continue to speak. Are they being praised or belittled?

'Lord Fuyao-sama has no ambitions. Whoever you are, Fuyao-sama, you are still our friend.

　Pope Ramish says this with a calm expression on his face. In a way, he's the one who knows who I am the most in this. Apparently, though, there is a section of me that thinks I'm a messenger of God. Unfortunately, I'm not an angel.

It's amazing. Is this really moving?
It works. It runs the same way as the frame unit.

　Cloud, the King of Linier, has a childlike gleam in his eye.
　Today, he is gathering everyone in the Western Alliance to unveil the Flame Gear. Each of the accompanying knights from each country also stood dumbfounded with their mouths agape. Well, that's what happens.

''But why are you doing this?
I guess it's just a hobby for now.... Nominally, it's for use against giant beasts.
A giant beast. I'm sure this one won't cause too much damage.

　The King of Belfast nodded, as if convinced. In reality, though, it's different.
　I told Guildmaster Relisha-san the truth of what happened in order to get information cooperation, but I still want to keep it under wraps from the other countries. We can't involve other countries in something that we don't know will actually happen, and I'm not sure if they would believe us even if we told them.
　Still, we should be prepared for that so that when the time comes, we can be ready to accept it immediately. That's such a convenient thing to think about.
　Showing the existence of the frame gear is one of them.

''So~, Fuyu-dono. Can you give me a ride on that thing?
That's it! That's the point!

　The King of Belfast and the King of Misguided gave me a glowing look. A tremendous 'get on, get on, get on' ray is sent to me.

'Before that, it would be better for each of your guards to get on board to make sure it's safe. How about it, Gaspar-san?
What? I...?

　The head of the Imperial Knights, the ship-eyed Gaspar-san, points at himself with a pouting face. In case you're wondering, the guards here are people who have ridden in frame units in the playroom when they came to our house. They should be able to move it reasonably well, and I don't think there will be any problems.

It's okay. If something goes wrong, I'll be able to bring it to an emergency stop. It won't go out of control in any weird way.

　I put an emergency stop function on the frame gear as a safety device. It can be linked to my phone to restrict and stop its movements. So even if Gaspar-san wanted to attack everyone here, he wouldn't be able to move a single finger. Well, that won't happen, though.
　With the permission of His Majesty the Emperor, Gaspar-san rides into the heavy knight 《Chevalier》.

''What do you think? It's no different than a frame unit, right?'
'Yes. Yes, I know how to operate it.
Then activate it.

　While communicating with the cockpit with the receiver, I instructed everyone else to move back.
　




　After that, there was a slight tussle over who would ride first, but there was no problem in the matter. The entire king was able to ride, and (although His Holiness the Pope didn't ride) he seemed to be able to control it quite well.
　And he promised to lend his frame gear only when the giant beast appeared. However, since the pilot would be provided by you, we also promised to lend six frame units to each country for that purpose.
　I explained the "tatemae" that I wanted them to practice with these and be prepared for the occasion, and that I wanted them to be used to give the Knights a break.
　Although the "real intention" is that I want those who can ride the frame gear to be trained for the battle with the Frays that may come eventually.
　With a territory as vast as Belfast or Regulus, it seems that the appearance of giant beasts is rather common, so I may have to lend them out a few times. Even in Mismid and Lamish, there are large tree seas, so it's not impossible for giant beasts to attack.
　Unfortunately, it seems that almost no giant beasts have done any damage to Linie, so it seems unlikely that they'll be in play, but there's also the matter of a contingency.
　If it's a giant beast, I'm sure the normally equipped swords will be fine, but there might also be a hard one like that scorpion. In that case, you'll just have to ask them to replace their weapons.
　I've prepared a set of weapons for each rider, so it should be fine. It's better to have a weapon that's easy to use. If you order one, we can make it for you. Once you've made one, it's easy to mass produce, so it's not too hard.
　But against Freys, super-heavy weapons are more advantageous. Not everyone can use 'Gravity' like I can, you know. Do you want to use your shield and the one-handed war cudgel of the Mace for speed, or do you want to use the two-handed hammer of the battle hammer for a one-hit kill? Do you want to fight from a distance with the halberd or use the battle axe? I'll leave it up to these warriors to decide.
　I'd like to see a long-range attack, but I can't make a beam weapon like in the anime. I can't even make a car. If I could make one, it would be a problem for a freshman in high school who can make a beam weapon. To begin with, what is a beam weapon?
　I would have made a sling with low technology. The kind that uses centrifugal force to throw a rock. It's not very effective.
　You don't use gunpowder in a live ammo weapon and instead of exploding explosives to send a cannonball flying, you use explosions instead of gunpowder explosions, you program and enchantment. And if the rider's magic power runs out, it's useless. You'd probably run out of magic power after two or three shots. It's not like advanced magic is going to be able to absorb magic from the atmosphere.
　The only thing that matters is that you're not going to be able to get your hands on any of them. The only thing I can think of to do is to make a weapon that "only" me can use.
　No, wait. It's not like Frase is completely immune to magic. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. I'm going to have to think about that.
　I'm sure Lean will have some good ideas. I'll see if she can give us some ideas.




　When I headed to the 'Alchemy Building' to see that the child I rescued in Yisheng had woken up, she was already out of the regeneration capsule and had risen on a cot in the 'Alchemy Building'. She was wearing what looked like a thin nightgown.
　His right hand, placed on top of the futon, is beautifully regenerated. His legs are probably back to normal, although they are hidden by the futon and cannot be seen.
　Her hair, which I had thought was pure white, had a slight reddish tint and looked a light cherry color. I thought it was white when I saved her. Don't tell me that the color of my blood didn't transfer to it.

''Ah.........''

　As soon as she saw me, she let out a small voice. Apparently, she remembered the time I saved her.
　I called out to Flora, who was sitting in a chair beside me.

'Looks like you've successfully completed the regeneration.
Uh.... that's why...

　Flora chokes on her teeth and chokes on her words. 'What's the matter?'

I think she's lost her memory.
What?

　He says he has no memory of what happened before I saved him. She doesn't remember her name, her birth, or why she was almost killed.

He doesn't think it was an after-effect of the regeneration therapy or...
No, it's not! You don't lose your memory by regenerating a limb, let alone a head! If you're in doubt, you can cut off the thing between your master's legs and try it!
I'm scared!

　No way I'm going to get chopped off like that! In fact, if there are real aftereffects, I won't remember a thing.
　But amnesia is.....

'Do you remember meeting me?'

　Kun Kun, the girl nodded a small nod. That means you have a memory of what happened after meeting me, right? After that, you went into a regeneration capsule, so it's natural to think that the cause of the amnesia was when you were attacked.

What's your name?
I don't know.
How did he get hurt like that?
I don't know.

　Hmmm, I don't know what's going on.... Then I asked him a lot of questions, and it turned out that he still had those memories and knowledge of Eashen, general knowledge, reading, writing, and math. And I knew about Belfast and Regulus, too.
　But my memory of things about myself was completely missing. He couldn't remember his name, his date of birth, where he was, what he was doing, if he had any family, what he liked and what he didn't like, or anything like that at all. I tried one more "recovery" to try, but to no avail.

'Mm..... I hope I can remember them eventually...''
"...you're...
Hmm?

　From the bed she turns her violet eyes straight at me.

'....Who are you?
Ah, Fuyao Mochizuki. I'm the king of the Duchy of Brunhild.
"...your king...

　She looked a little surprised, but quickly returned to normal. Apparently, this girl seems to be lacking in emotion.

''Is this that Brunhild?''
Yes. I found you lying on the ground in the mountains of Yisheng. You were hurt pretty badly.
How did you...
With transference magic.

　Oh, he looked surprised again. It went right back to normal, though. It's interesting.
　Anyway, I decided that it wasn't a good idea to stay in this 'alchemy building' as it was, so I used the 'gate' to transfer the entire cot to a room in the castle.

''This is........''

　The girl scurries around the room, which has suddenly changed. I hope this helps you believe that I've moved on.
　For now, I'll let you live in this room for a while. It's possible that his memories might come back to him in time.
　I could send her to Yisheng, but with her memories gone, and the possibility that someone is trying to kill her, it's not impossible. We can't risk it right now.

But it's inconvenient not to have a name.......do we decide on some kind of temporary name?
A name ... whatever. The king will decide.

　That being said. I thought about it for a while, but I still think a name closer to Yisheng would be better than a western name. Then..........

Well, then, I'll go with "Sakura.
Sakura....
'You have beautiful cherry red hair, you know. If I don't like it, I'll think of something else.

　It's cheap, if I do say so myself. The girl gives a small shake of her head in denial.

'Cherry blossoms are fine. Thank you.

　I felt Sakura's face, which doesn't show much emotion, smile a little bit.
