So what's the question you wanted to ask me?

　His Majesty King Restia the First and Princess Hilda are seated on a three-seater sofa in the castle's reception room. I'm going to sit in front of them and listen to what they have to say.
　I'm sure that both of them have come under the cover of their identities as they are both ninja's. It's true that the armor didn't have Restia's crest on it.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, but I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world. I've heard he's a pretty unconventional person.
　I've heard that he hides his identity and even acts like an old lord of Mito. Who do you think you are, Mr. Galen? "Who do I know who you have here?" "You are Galen, the late king! 'Haha!' Like that? No way. There's no ninja with a windmill, is there?
　Well, I can't say that I don't mind the inconvenience and do whatever I want either.

As a matter of fact, because of the collapse of Euron the other day...

　And then Princess Hilda broke off the conversation. I see, that's it.
　That battle was difficult to grasp exactly because of the fact that the parties involved were from other countries and because of Euron's incomprehensible quotations. This is especially true in the East.
　It's ironic that the West is more familiar with the situation than the East, where things happened, but most of the countries in the West participated in the event, so there's no way around it.
　The correct information should have been passed on to the guild as well, but I guess it's hard to believe it because of the things that happen. Magic doesn't work, it has the ability to regenerate, and it emerges from space.... It's not like there's ever been such a monster before.
　I told them all about the events that occurred in Euron.

I'm sure you've heard of the great attack of the Freys. But still, it's a coalition of Belfast, Regulus, Mismid, Liefreth, Lamish, and Linie.......
''It was an opponent that we had to work together to win that much. In fact, a blow from the advanced species blew Shen Hai away.
It's a terrible story. So what are the chances of it happening again?

　His Majesty is right to be concerned. After all, a group of Freys have appeared in Restia as well, even if they are a low-class species. It's better to talk to them properly than to fool them.

'I don't think it will be for a while. But it's quite possible that a similarly large attack will occur sooner or later. That's why we're preparing to fight it in many ways.
It's the Flamegear, isn't it?

　Did you know? Well, I knew that some information had been leaked.
　I thought it would be quicker to show them than to explain, so I transitioned to the plains to the west of the castle with not only the two of them, but also the knights of the guards.
　His Majesty the First King, Princess Hilda, and the rest of the guards were just amazed at the first transition. To further surprise them, they transferred the Black Knight from Babylon to the ground.

''This is the Flame Gear, the Black Knight 《Night Baron》. It's one of the final weapons to counter the Frays.

　Everyone seemed too shocked to speak. I pulled the receiver out of storage and called Monica from the cockpit.

"Let me see it in action. Let me see it in action.
Roger that, Master.

　Monica walked and ran, drew her sword, held it up, poked it, raised it, swung it down, and made various movements.

''How many of these........frame gears were thrown in during the battle in Euron?
"Including the spare parts, there were roughly 250 of them. There were about 13,000 on the Fraze side, so it was not easy.
That's 250.... With that many men, what does His Majesty Brunhild intend to do?

　His Majesty the Prior King turns his searching eyes to me. Well, I can't blame him for thinking you have some kind of ambition.

''You may not believe it, but I have no intention of using this to invade any other country. If we are invaded, though, that's not the case. Our main goal is to fight the Freys. And we wouldn't lend them to the countries of the Western Alliance unless they were in a very bad situation.
What do you mean by that?
We're taking down huge beasts that have appeared and rescuing people from landslides and other disasters.

　In fact, we've loaned them out to other countries on several occasions. And if it's used to save lives, there's nothing wrong with that. Of course, we don't charge a rental fee. It's because we only help out of goodwill. Oh, but if you fight or destroy a giant beast, I do get paid for the materials.

I'm not sure if that's a good idea. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make an alliance with your country, and that's what we're going to do?
"unless it's for war or illegal use.

　I was told that if I loaned it out to other countries, they would analyze it and steal the technology, but on the other hand, if you can do it the other way around, do it and show me. Even Rosetta and I can't produce it from scratch. I wish someone as genius as Dr. Pervy could come up with something like that.
　Even if I were to disassemble it, I might be able to make an arm or a leg, but I don't think I'd be able to make a central part, and most importantly, I wouldn't be able to make the ether liquid that is fuel for it. Well, if it decomposes to the point where it can't be returned, I won't lend it to you again.

One of the reasons I came to Brunhild is to establish friendly relations with your country. I will have to ask the late king's son whether he wants to join the alliance, but I will not oppose it.
It's a pleasure for us, but we'll have to consult with the other countries first.

　Well, I don't think we'll be opposed to it either. It's just that Restia is called the Knight Kingdom, and it's said to be a country with an honorable spirit and a high level of trust from its people. ........Looking at this old man, I can't imagine so.
　But if Restia joins, we'll have to change the name of the "Western Alliance". And Restia is the East. Hmm. Well, we can think about that later.




''Seyaaaaaaah!
'Hah!

　Their swords stopped just before they touched each other's bodies. Princess Hilda's wooden sword was on the side of the eightfold. Yae's wooden sword stopped just short of Princess Hilda's neck. It was a splendid counterattack.

''That's it!''

　My voice echoed in the basement training grounds as I bought the role of judge.
　Princess Hilda wanted to fight the best sword wielder in the country, so I bumped Yae for now. If it's only swordsmanship, he's better than the old man in the mountain prefecture.
　I don't know how many websites and video sites about swordsmanship I've shown Yae on the internet in the past year. She made it her own, like a sponge absorbing water, and further developed it. Already her swordsmanship is becoming a school that is far removed from her family's "Kokonoe Shinnaru style".
　That Yae and her counterpart, Princess Hilda, are also incredibly skilled.
　They lowered their swords and exhaled deeply.

''It was a fun match. ''Your Majesty has a wonderful knight.''
No? I am not of the Order, that I am not of the Order, that I am not?
What?

　Princess Hilda, who shook hands with Yae after the game, nodded her head.

''I am Fuyoru-dono's permitted wife, that I am.
Good luck?
I mean your fiancé.

　Princess Hilda stopped moving when I interrupted her from the side. Huh? What's going on?
　Gee, gee, gee, gee, the head turns awkwardly and his gaze is turned to me. What is it? There's no light in your eyes...

There is an engagement, isn't there?
'What? Huh ... well. Oh, did you not hear that? I'm sure the engagement itself was announced in a big way when Yumina and Lou were together.
'Yumina? Lou?

　Who's that? Princess Hilda asks back like this. Apparently, she really doesn't know. Well, maybe it doesn't get through to the east.

"I am the princess of Belfast and Regulus, that I am. They are both engaged to the same Fuyu-dono as me, that they are.
Yes? Well, three fiancées!
There are six of them, that I know of.
Roku...

　Princess Hilda is exasperated. Mmm. Did I get pulled in? Even in this world where polygamy is accepted, there are some kings who have two to three wives in the case of big merchants and nobles, and in rare cases a ridiculous number of wives, but in the case of ordinary royalty, it's said that there are at most five wives.
　The only reason they don't have more than that is because they don't have regular "wives", but if they are concubines or mistresses, there are quite a few of them.
　But in most cases, after marrying a regular wife, the number of partners increases little by little. It's rare for someone like me to have more than one partner in mind.

'I ... how could I ... unexpectedly ... no, not yet ...'

　I hold out my hand in front of Princess Hilda's eyes as she begins mumbling something. No, he can't see me.

That's where your big sister comes in!
'Wow, you scared the crap out of me!

　I was suddenly called out from behind, and I couldn't help but zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
　There was Hanakoi's sister, who was standing on her knees with her right hand raised high and her nose in the air with a muffled snort.
　I wonder if this person (or rather god) can do something like instantaneous movement? He's just a god, and he's a god.

'You there! After all, the person you have a crush on is Fuyao-kun!
'Whoa! Meow, meow, meow, meow! No, I didn't mean that! I'm gonna!

　Bish! And Princess Hilda, who was pointed at by her sister, bobbed, her face turned red and panicked as if she was on fire. Eh? What's that? Is that ... is that what you're saying?
　No, but........we've only met twice......no way.
　While pointing at Princess Hilda, she pulls her sister, who is in a good mood, and speaks in a whisper.

''Hey, hey. You're not using some kind of strange power, are you? You know, like, make me fall in love with you or a mesmerizing power.
That's rude. I didn't use that. From the beginning she had a love for Fuyao-kun. And that was her first love. It's sparkling and beautiful.

　How do you know that? I mean, it's late, isn't it? First love. So, what am I supposed to do with this?
　When she didn't know what to say to the squirming Princess Hilda, Yae stepped forward to her. Wait, please don't give me a shura or anything!

"Lady Hilda likes Lord Wintery Night, that she does, doesn't she?
'What? No, um! I didn't think she had a fiancée named Yae, so... how should I put it... ...I'm sorry.......I know it's annoying....
'What. I've been in the same position as Lady Hilda, so I know exactly how you feel, that I do.

　Princess Hilda, who had been looking down at Yae's words, looked up.

''When Fuyao-dono first got engaged to Lady Yumina, I was only a companion. I didn't even tell him how I felt, I just kept it to myself. But Fuyao-dono and Yumina-dono accepted me for who I am, that they did.
'So that's what happened...'
"So why don't you become Lady Winterfellas' fiancé as well, that you should.
"Yes?

　I shared Princess Hilda's voice with her. Wait a minute! How can that be! We just welcomed Sue the other day, and now we're too hasty for a seventh one!

Incidentally, Fuyao-dono has only three more fiancées left, that I know of. It has been decided that Fuyah-dono will have nine wives.
Nine?

　Princess Hilda's voice rises in surprise. Bring it up! I don't believe that story.

'He's still as irresistible as ever. Your sister has a very tall nose.
You know what?

　I glare at my idiot sister who starts hissing beside me. You're totally amused!

''Tut, tut, that means there are three more people who can be His Majesty's wives, right! Not a mistress or a concubine! It will! I'll be the seventh!
Then I will introduce you to the others later, that I will. I am very happy to make a good friend, that I am.
Thanks, Yae!

　Gasp, Princess Hilda holding her eighteenth hand. Wait a minute, there's something wrong with everything! Why do people over here (especially women!) You don't listen to them! You're not listening to my will!
　Maz. This is the same trend as with Yumina and Lou. It will just happen...! Hmm? Is it a little late for that?
　In this country, marriage is not only for people who love each other, but also for the purpose of deepening the bond between families. Perhaps this is why the idea that love is something that should be cultivated after marriage is quite widespread in this country. This is especially true of the upper classes.
　In the case of the royal family, it may be the most extreme way of thinking. Of course, you wouldn't want to marry someone you don't like, though.
　The story is unfolding in front of my eyes. Someone moved before I did, thinking that I had to stop it somewhere.

'I've heard the story! I will not allow that marriage to go away so easily!
'Grandfather!'
I think we're in trouble again...

　His Majesty the First King appeared from somewhere and said, "Oh no, wait! I held out my hand. You're a kabuki actor, aren't you?
　This is the way it goes: "If you want grandchildren, you must defeat me first! Is it a target trend! I don't have any such intentions over here........

''Since the princess of the knight kingdom will be married, you'll have to show a certain amount of resolve! I'll match you with an eagle!

　Bingo. Seriously......... I can't help it, I guess I'll lose at random. I don't want to take the princess as a wife at the moment. I think she's cute, but I don't know anything about her yet. But even though I'm old, I'm still a gold-ranked adventurer. It might be hard to keep him busy.

"You shall stand trial, and you shall defeat me with flying colors! Let's play Hi-Lu Da!
'Yes! Grandfather!
