It's been three days since I returned from the Underworld.
　After giving everyone all sorts of souvenirs, the Doctor and Lean haven't come out of the "lab" and Linse is stuck in the library with Pham.
　As such, Rosetta and Monica are the only ones in the garage at the moment. The little robots are there, though.
　I hold up the two-headed little robot and look at it head-on.

'I wonder if these guys are the same as Golem.

　What's going on? The little robot twists its head like this. When I put him down on the floor, he runs to the fuselage being assembled.

It's pretty much finished, isn't it?

　Yumina, who stood beside me, looked up at her own plane and muttered.
　The fuselage standing in front of it had about 60% of its silvery armor attached to it, and it was coming in the form of frame gear.

''Does this plane have a name anymore?''
Yes. It's Brunhilde.

　A sniper battle-specialized frame gear, Brunhilde. It is a machine that specializes in long-range attacks. Its silver armor has the ability to blend in with the surrounding landscape in a protective color. It is a highly covert aircraft.

''Brunhilde.......Is it okay for me to use a plane that bears the name of my country?''
'Ah, originally everyone's aircraft name was taken from the nine war maidens. It's like they remained in order. Brünnhilde and Brünnhilde, so you don't have to worry about that much.

　The name was originally taken from the nine warrior maidens, the Valkyrie, who appear in Richard Wagner's opera The Ring of the Nibelung.

　I'll be putting the know-how I've gained from building these aircraft into the next one I build.
　To be honest, there's no reason why I can't fight in the flesh, but it's really tough to fight against advanced species. And while it's still fine for now, if the world boundary is easily defeated, there's a good chance that more than one advanced species will appear at the same time.
　Just in case that's the case, it's not a waste of time to build a plane specifically for me. Besides, I also want my own plane.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of it. She is also capable of covert action thanks to her armor's cloaking [stealth] function. It's a bit of a problem, though, as the color of the armor changes to protective colors, the color of the aircraft in its normal state is a bit flashy.
It's pretty obvious, isn't it...
Well, it can't be helped if you change the basic color of the plane, because it won't be able to make use of the special abilities of the armor. You'll get used to it.

　It won't be noticeable until before the battle starts, and once the battle starts, it will be stealthy and inconspicuous.

'Come to think of it, there's some kind of frame gear on the other side of the world, right?
It's more like that mini-robot than a frame gear. It's like a summoned beast that moves according to human orders. Apparently there are aircraft with special powers like magic.
I want to see it too.
One of these days I'll make it possible for you to come and go to the other side. When I do, I will show you the other side of the city.
You promise?

　Yumina smiles and wraps her own arms around me.
　For that, though, we'll have to get some land on the other side of the world to set up the dimensional gate. I guess I'll have to go there a few more times.





'So things are going well on Parellius Island then? When we're done, we'll get a merchant ship from our country... oh, I've been struck!

　King Linier stands up and puts his hand to his forehead.
　The Regulus players at the ballpark cheered as the two-base hit was met with cheers. A friendly match after the East-West Conference was over. This time it was a match between the Knight Kingdom Restia and the Regulus Empire.
　It seems that King Linier is cheering for his good friend, the team of the Knight King of Lestia.
　His brother-in-law Reinhardt, who is the Knight King of Lestia, is the coach and is at the Lestia dugout bench. The ladies of Pope Ramish and the Governor of all the Rhodomea provinces are not here as they are being entertained by our fiancée's team at the castle.

'Sweet, sweet. This is not Regulus, who will fall for your transparent sway. Will we be able to hold them off this time?
No, no, it's just the beginning. His velocity hasn't declined yet.

　As the same older side, the Kings of Belfast and Lefries giggle wryly as they fold their arms and huff and puff. Both of you seem like that, a bad guy.
　I'm not going to lose," said King Linie, holding Restia's shoulder.
　We've gotten so close to each other.

It's also a good way to ventilate yourself and enjoy the fun of the common people. It's a good thing that Fuyao-dono's sporadic exchange of ideas is a good thing.

　In the VIP section of the Brunhild stadium, the Beast King of Mismid sitting next to me muttered without looking away from the game. The snow leopard's ears on top of his head were twitching.

''It's not just baseball, though, there are many other competitions as well. I see, it would be interesting to have something like the Olympics.''
Oribi... what's that?
I thought, "Well, why don't we gather athletes from all over the world once every few years and divide them up into a few days to compete in various events? We'll decide the best in the world. We can decide who is the best in the world in baseball, for example.
Ho! World's best. Sounds good. Sounds interesting.

　Well, the world is still in chaos for that to happen.
　There is no end to the number of people living in poverty in each country, and there are also the victims of magical beasts. There are still bandit-infested areas and shady dark cultists.
　With the collapse of Euron and Sandra, there is no longer a large scale war, but in a way, the small rogues that the country had been holding back are now able to thrive.
　Some of Euron's assassins became bandits and robbers, and some of Sandra's slavers became black marketers and con artists.
　It is still the role of each country to crack down on them.
　In a way, it could be said that I have caused trouble to the world. Well, that's one of the reasons why I'm willing to cooperate if I can be of any help.

It's a good thing that you have a good idea of what to do. It's delicious. I would like to spread the word about it in our country as well, but is the rice only available in Yisheng for now?

　There was originally a food called kalae in the mismid. They didn't have rice, so they dipped it in bread and ate it like a soup, but when they met Yishen rice, a miraculous collaboration was born. I shared it with the home of kalae, Mismid, and it was a big hit.

'I have an acquaintance in the Lords of Yishen and I'll ask Mismid if we can export it on a regular basis. I'll also invite a few farmers from Yisheng and ask them to teach me how to make it for Mismid.

　Basically, Mismid is a bit hotter than Brunhild, but that doesn't mean it's not good for rice farming. And as far as water goes, there's a great river in Gau. If there is a problem, since it is close to the Great Sea of Trees, will there be insect damage from locusts and other insects, or will there be damage from beasts, such as demonic beasts?
　Well, it could happen anywhere, and I'm sure the professional farmers know better than me about that. At worst, I think I can ask my uncle Kosuke for help. He's the God of Agriculture.
　Ever since the Hideyoshi incident, Yisheng has been getting together around Ieyasu-san, so I think we can manage to export some of our products.
　We should be able to harvest some rice this fall, and I'm looking forward to it.

　Oh, a three-out change.
　Restia's team is more of an attack-oriented team.
　Perhaps because this is a country with many excellent knights, they have good dynamic vision and a high base running rate. However, there are not so many strong hitters that are called power hitters, so rather than scoring a lot of runs with a bang, they had a style of surely scoring runs.
　In contrast, the Regulus are a well-balanced team, both offensively and defensively, and they have a large group of players. They can fit into any team's lineup.
　I feel bad for King Linier, but Regulus is the better team.
　The crowd is also very excited. Naturally, most of the spectators are from Brunhild, but they are cheering for their two favorite teams.
　In this world where entertainment is scarce, the main goal is not to see your favorite team win, but to enjoy watching the game itself.
　Therefore, even if their favorite team loses, the audience applauds the opposing team and thanks the players for letting them watch a good game.
　They don't lash out and throw things at their own losing players. And that's not a nice thing to see.
　Well, players are not knights in their day job, or professionals who make their living only by playing baseball, so they don't get that much abuse, I guess. When you think about it, it might not be too different from grassroots baseball.
　Whatever the case, though, as long as they enjoy it, there's not much to say.
　And as I was thinking about that, I saw Suu running towards the VIP seat surrounded by tempered glass, coming towards us.
　What is it? It looks like he's in a huge panic.
　As it was, he pushed aside the knights on guard and opened the door of the box seat and shouted loudly to me.

''Winter Night! I'm having a baby!

　Rattling! And the kings in the box stand up and look at me.
　Huh? Wait, wait! Yumina said that they haven't received any food yet... but I didn't even get to it yet!

Hey, slow down, Sue. The kid whose?

　...not mine, is that correct? That's not possible.

"Of course it was Mother and Father's! I've got a brother or sister in my straw!

　Oh, that way......... Phew, I was in a hurry to get out of my mind........
　As I breathed a sigh of relief, the King of Belfast walked up to Sue.

'Suu, is that true? Al has a kid?
It's true. That's what Dr. Raoul said!

　Dr. Raoul, the Royal Physician Doctor. Then there's no doubt about it. Apparently, Sue overheard the story and came here from her home in Belfast, passing through the Mirror Gate.
　King Belfast will have a new nephew or niece, and if the child is a man, he will be the country's chief minister supporting Prince Yamato, who will be the next king.
　Anyway, a child for Duke Ortlinde, huh........ I wonder if it's because of that thing, after all.
　The Elfrau royal family's magical tool, the Artifact, the Blessing of Life, which I received as a thank you for defeating the giant beast that appeared in the Elfrau Kingdom, Snoraulf, before.
　It was something that was rather eyebrow-raising, as it made it easier for a woman to conceive if she wore it, so I had lent it to Duke Ortlinde to try it out.......but I wonder if it was real.
　Anyway, I can't leave this place because I have to clear out after the game, but for now, I sent the King of Belfast, Sue, and the knights of Belfast's guards out to the Duke of Ortlinde's residence at the "gate".
　As for the Blessing of Life, I'll just say that it should be handed back to Sue.
　Hmmm, this makes me believe more and more that your vision of the future is true.
　Well, I was prepared for that to a certain extent when I had nine wives. Well, that's because I'd like to have a child of my own, if possible.
　So it's possible to get married at 18 and have 9 kids before 19........ No, at least Sue still has a few more years and a few more in between, so eight? I don't think it's going to change much.
　Mmmmmm. I get the feeling that it takes a lot more determination than fighting Flaze. Now that I think about it again, this is a big deal. Well, well, it's not like it's all eight of us except Sue at the same time.
　........right?
