A month had passed since the Great Frase Attack, but no unusual information had been conveyed. It was only that the guild master, Relisha-san, came and asked for an explanation of the events that happened in Euron. The guild's branch was also in Euron, so apparently it was quite a blow.
　Even now, a civil war (and not so much a skirmish) was still going on in Euron. All over the country, powerful noblemen claimed that they were the true emperor of heaven and were overthrown, and then overthrown again and again.
　Already, rather than a great power, Euron is becoming a place of several city-states that can be called the 'Euron Region'. Maybe one day they'll form an alliance and become a federation like Rhodomea, but it looks like it's a long way off.

It's been a long time since anyone has been able to buy a drink, just like a dream on a spring night...?
'What? That?
'I don't care how much you think you can prosper and be proud, that won't last long. I mean, it's as fleeting as a dream on a spring night.

　I teach Monica, who tilts her head at my soliloquy, a modern translation. Well, as a country, Euron was probably the one that lasted for a long time.
　The news of Euron's destruction quickly spread to other countries, and the cause was believed to be a mysterious demon's rampage.
　It was only a few nobles in Euron who were shouting that it was my doing, and the guild's announcement of their insights neatly pissed off information to the adventurers, such as the "appearance of an unknown demon", "Frayes and naming names", and "the cause of the collapse of the ancient civilization?".
　The guild also revealed the characteristics and weaknesses of Frase. With a party of skilled adventurers, they should be able to compete with lower-grade species.
　We don't know what country they'll appear in again. This kind of countermeasures will be necessary.
　If we believe Ende's words, I don't think the majority of them will appear for a while.

So Fragarach is still limited to four?
There it is. If you put any more than that, the machine itself won't work.

　That's not a good idea on the battlefield. It's just a target. This isn't the amount of magic power of the pilot or anything like that, it's purely a limitation of the old-style frame gear.
　Rosetta descends from the Black Knight 《Night Baron》 with four Fragarachs in the shape of an X on her back.
　Fragarach is also a crystal sword in itself, so it can simply be used as a weapon in the hand.
　Fragarach's attack, which consumes a large amount of magic power, isn't something that can be used so continuously. I suggested that I put my magic power in the Transfer, but since it synchronizes with the pilot's magic power to control it, it seems that if I do that, it will turn into a tool that no one but me can control.
　Even with this weapon, there's still a lot of work to be done....

''Lord, are you ready?
Hmm? Amber. What's going on?

　We received a telepathic message from Amber in the castle.

He tells me that messengers from other countries have come to see him, mainly to ask for a meeting.
An emissary from another country? ...If it's Euron, get rid of him.
No, I heard it's called the Kingdom of the Knights of Lestia or something like that.

　The Knight's Kingdom of Restia.... Is that the country of Princess Hildegard, who rescued her from being attacked by Fraise?
　Well, when I rescued her, she said that when I gave her the crystal sword, she was very happy and thanked me for it. Is that it?
　I didn't want to make them wait for the moment, so I headed to the audience room of the castle at the "gate", but there was no one there. Huh?

Oh, Your Majesty. This way.

　When I was standing alone, the head maid, Lapis-san, beckoned me to join her.

''I thought you had a messenger from Restia?''
'Well I told him to wait a moment, as Your Majesty was not present, and he said he wanted to see the training of the Order...'

　I don't know... You are the emissary of the knightly kingdom, aren't you? It's a good idea to be able to see that the other country's knights are also concerned. Well, it doesn't bother me to be seen, though.
　When I arrived at the training grounds, Logan-san and a female knight were shooting at each other with mock swords. I mean, that's Princess Hildegard! What are you doing?

Haaaaah!

　The princess knight's strike, which she delivered with the spirit of a cleaver, sent Logan's sword flying high into the sky. Oh, you do it.

''That's it!

　Nicola's voice echoed through the training grounds. Wow, a cheer went up from the surrounding crowd. Mixed in with our knights, there are some Restia knights as well.

''Ah, thank you, Princess.''
You're welcome.

　They exchanged a bow and ended the match. The princess noticed my appearance and ran over to me at a trot. Her long blonde hair swayed fluffily in the wind. She's still in her armor, but her smile is cute. I'm sure she's the same age as Yae.

''Heh, Your Majesty! It's been a while!
'Oh, yes. It's been a long time. I mean, why is Princess Hildegard here!

　I couldn't help but return the greeting, but more importantly, why is Princess Hildegard here?

''I wanted to thank you for that time and ask you something........ But I'm only here as an escort.''
A chaperone, who's...?
It's me.

　An old man stepped out from behind the Restia knight, probably about 70 years old. He was an old man with a long white beard and a cane. Although he was using a cane, he was hale and hearty, with a slouching waist. It was the first time to see him.

You do not know me, King Brunhild. I am Galen Yunus Restia, the former king of Restia's knightly kingdom. I'm Galen Yunus Restia, the former king of the Knight's Kingdom of Restia, and an adventurer of the same gold ranking as your king.

　He takes the guild card out of his pocket and shows it to me. It's real. So this is the other gold-ranked adventurer?

''Thank you for this. I'm Fuyuya Mochizuki. I heard about His Majesty the First King from Guild Master Relisha-san.
Ho-ho-ho. I am very grateful for the other day's gift. I would like to go to Brunhild to thank you for that.
Goodness gracious, I'm sure there's not much to see. There won't be much to see, but I hope you'll feel at home.

　I reached out to shake the hand that His Majesty the Prior King had offered me, but it struck out. Huh?

What the hell?

　When I turned around at the sudden scream, I saw Lapis-san holding her buttocks and twisting around. Behind her was His Majesty the First King with his palms ruffled. Eh?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, but it's a habit. Hmmm, a very well-developed ass. You're no ordinary maid, are you, young lady?
'Grandfather! This is not Restia, and I'm asking you to pull yourself together, so much so!
When I see a beautiful woman, my hands naturally go to work. I've had to put up with this for a while, but it seems I've reached my limit. Kick ass!

　Princess Hildegarde takes a bite out of His Majesty the First King. Apparently, this act is an everyday occurrence in Restia. Is this why he was smiling bitterly when he heard about His Majesty the First King before? He's a hell of an old man........
　But when did he go around the back? Lapidus-san is also a former member of an intelligence agency. He doesn't let them get behind him so easily, though. This old man is not just any old man. As expected of a gold-ranked adventurer. Maybe he's just an old man with an elaborate plan.

"Excuse me! This was like ... well ... a seizure of your grandfather's! Oh, don't worry, once they touch you, you're good to go!
'Huh ... it's a difficult thing to do ...'

　What kind of seizure? This is the king of the knight kingdom.... It's not exactly what I had in mind.
　For now, I've decided to return to the royal castle. The Restia knights who came with the princess and the others led them to our quarters. Some of them followed the princess and the first king's bodyguard, though.
　As we entered the castle, every place we led them to.

What the hell?
Ho-ho-ho.
Grandfather!

　The exchange was repeated several times. Our maid has been damaged badly. This is going to be an international incident.
　Should I be playing Gravity?

Hey. It's you, Winter Night. It's your good morning.

　At the bend in the corridor, she met her sister Hanakoi. The next moment, Restia the First King came around behind her sister in a lightning-like motion and again flashed his hand towards her ass.
　But in the next moment, His Majesty the First King spun around by himself and was rolled to the floor.

''... how.''

　Her sister, who had managed to fight off the molesters without touching them, hadn't changed at all, as usual. Even His Majesty the First King is still lying on the floor, stunned.

''Fuyao-kun, who is this person?''
'What? Ah, His Majesty the Prior King of the Knights of Restia.
Yeah, he's a very active grandfather.

　I introduced my sister Hanakoi to the Restia people who are still blinking their eyes. In case you're not me, it's just that you're royalty here.

''I apologize for my sister's rudeness. I'm sorry.
'No, no! Well, originally, it was all our fault! It's good medicine for your grandfather. Heaven forbid.

　It's actually seriously a godsend, but I'm going to keep it quiet. Since I tried to touch the Goddess's ass and got away with something like this, I guess I'm nothing but lucky.

''But as expected of His Majesty's sister. This is the first time I've seen a woman who fought off your grandfather. ..............................Um, what is it?

　Hanakoi sister was staring at Princess Hildegard intently. It's as if she's searching for something, as if she's looking into the depths of her heart. Eventually, the sister slowly opens her mouth.

''You........are you in love?''
What?

　Princess Hildegard flinched as her face turned bright red. Her usual dignified expression was blown off and sweat was beading on her forehead.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it is a good idea to be able to use it. You're in love with me, aren't you? I don't know, b*tc*es!
Nuh-uh. There's nothing in love that I can't see, you know. Do you need advice? You can come to me later.

　After saying that, her sister left for the dining room. Princess Hildegarde is holding her reddened cheeks and mumbling something small.

''Are you alright?''
'Huh? Oh, uh, I'm fine! I'm fine! Haha......

　I don't look okay at all.... I feel like there's smoke coming out of my head at any moment.
　But you're in love, huh? The sister who is the god of love says so, so there must be no doubt about it. Even though she's called a "princess knight," she's still a girl. You can't blush this much when you remember the person you love.
　You've been glancing at me since a while ago, are you embarrassed to have me, a stranger, watching you in that state? I suppose it's best to play it off in private.

"So, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Princess Hildegard. Shall we go?
'Oh, um, please call me Hildegard, not Hildegard! Well, that's what everyone close to me calls it...

　The princess said that while squirming. It's true that it's a bit hard to call her. If he says he wants to, I'll let him be pampered.

'I understand. Then, Princess Hilda, please come this way.
'Ha, yes!'
Ho-ho-ho.

　Princess Hilda replied with a big smile. In response, His Majesty the First King gave a small smile.
　? Is something funny?
