How are you doing?
'No. He's not responding at all. He remains depressed the whole time.

　Mel, the "King" of the Flaze...or should I say former "King" or former "Queen" in this case, I don't know if I should say former "King" or former "Queen" in this case, but she is currently in the castle of Babylon.
　Well, I don't want to sound like a stranger, but we're imprisoning her. We've sealed the castle room tightly with 【Prison】, so we don't have to worry about her escaping or being noticed by Fraise.
　This 【Prison】 has already been built with divine energy, so it will not disappear even if I go to the underworld, it's a perfect prison and shelter.
　However, what I'm more worried about is her mental state.
　After that, I told Mel everything that had happened up to this point and what is happening now.
　Those who didn't think it was a good idea to follow the new 'king' that Mel entrusted to take over the Crystalline World Frasier, revived Mel's supposedly discarded secret magic on their own and obtained the power to cross dimensions.
　In order to obtain or regain Mel's power, they have been running rampant in the world that the Frays crossed over and destroying it.
　That Ende and Lise crossed the same world, supporting and watching from the shadows.
　And that Yura, who has come to our world and gained a great deal of power, is now in the dark, and the Freys are in danger from mutant species.
　As a result of the various events I told him about, Mel was quite shocked mentally, but he was depressed and didn't talk to me much anymore.
　It's only Frase, and he doesn't seem to die even if he doesn't eat, but when he's depressed like that, I can't help but think it's because I've said something unnecessary. ........well, you're right, though.

You can't find that bastard in Ende........ Isn't it times like this that you should just pop in, that idiot?

　Even search magic doesn't catch Ende. Is she also in the inter-dimensional space?
　It may not be all Mel's fault, but the originator is certainly her. It's not in my heart to say "take responsibility" or "pay for it by dying" now, but that may not be the case for the people killed by Fraise.
　And that's precisely because the people who have been stalking her are the worst offenders.
　If I could, I'd like her to convince Frase and the others to leave this world. Now that Mel is back, that shouldn't be impossible.
　In her current state, I can't expect her to do so.......

''Fuyao-san, what are you going to do about that person.......?

　Yumina asks with concern. I've told the King of Belfast and Queen Euell that I've succeeded in sealing the 'King'. Well, it's not a lie.

'What do you think we should do about Yumina?　Frazeez is our enemy. Should we kill him?　Or do you want to seal it up forever?

　I ask a few nasty questions to avoid a shortcut solution. After all, it seems I want to do something about Mel.
　I wonder what Yumina thinks about that.

''I........I understand a little bit of that person's feelings too. Because I also fell in love with someone from a different world. I think that person didn't want to be separated from Ende, and he was just trying so hard to do just that. It was so hard to see what was going on around him. It's unfortunate that things have come to this point, but I think there's still things we can do.

　Saying that, Yumina takes my hand in hers. As if to encourage my feelings, an upturned odd-eye was staring at me.

'An unfortunate misunderstanding, a misbuttoning, Fuyao-san should be able to fix it here. Please save that man.
I'll do everything I can. I'll do everything I can.
Please do. We'll help you, too.

　I look at my fiancé, who smiles at me, and my thoughts seem to have gone down a tube. I feel like I've already rolled on my hands. I'm not going to be a husband and wife. I've always known that.
　Well, even if you're a candidate for God, you'll have to do this much.

Oh, and also. If Ende-san is found, please slap her once. It's outrageous for a boyfriend to leave a grieving girlfriend unattended. No, no, no.
No, that's not the way it works...

　That part seems unreasonable. You're being unreasonable. You don't know if your girlfriend is here. And that's because I'm the one who doesn't know.
　I'm pissed off about other things, so I might punch her once.
　I've decided to leave her to Liora at the Wall for now.
　I'm sure she'll be fine, but if she's going to be suicidal, I'll ask her to use the restraints of the [Programmed] deified material to hold her down, even if it's forcibly.
　That's fine with Mel for now. Time might help her sort out her mind, too.
　Since I've talked to the spirits, it's unlikely that any natural disasters will occur even if the two worlds continue to fuse together.
　I was a little uneasy, so I went to my uncle Kosuke's place in the farmland and asked him about it in detail. Of all the gods on earth, he's the most trustworthy.
　It's not that everyone else can't be trusted, it's just that their solutions are extreme....

'When I say the worlds are merged, it doesn't mean they are superimposed on each other. It's about the connection between adjacent worlds.

　With that said, Kosuke took off the right and left gloves and showed them to the ground.
　I see, the gloves are not overlapping, but rather they are attached to each other.

If it weren't for the evil god, it might be something like 'a new continent has been found'. Although a new continent that is completely symmetrical is also unlikely.
So there's no need to make a big deal out of it and disrupt the world?
'As for the fusion of worlds. When this fusion is accomplished, the evil gods and their relatives will frequently appear from between the dimensions. Because there is already no World God's blessing on that world anymore.

　The great attack of the mutants........ At worst, the movements of Frase and the others might be able to block Mel's custody as a shield.
　The mutants will take up Freys and strengthen him. In order not to give them any more power, I would like to ask Frase to leave.

'Well, don't get too worked up about it. You think you can do everything yourself, and that might be the beginning of your failure, right?　The seeds you have sown in this world will surely sprout, blossom and bear fruit. You have nothing to fear, no matter what the evil gods may do to you.

　His words sounded very grateful to me. As expected of a god of land and agriculture, he is a god of agriculture. I want some god of love or some god of bad drinking habits to hear this.

''The problem is that I'm a little more worried about the underworld 《there》 side than the front world 《here》 side that can deal with the raids of the flames and mutant species. Is this thing called Golem that much of a defensive measure?
'Some of them have golems that can even fend off mutants. But when it comes to the rest...

　When you think about it that way, it's true........ If it's a "crown" or something like that, even mutants can deal with it. But what if an advanced mutant species appeared?　Can we win?
　I guess we'll have to recruit more people on the [other] side as well.
　For now, there's the guys from the righteous band, the Red Cat, and... ah, the Elka Engineer. A wandering golem engineer with a wolf-shaped golem, Fenrir.
　As I recall, that guy is one of the five geniuses in the other world.......it doesn't look like it. Remembering the shaggy head, bottle-bottomed glasses, and the shabby white coat, I doubt very much if he can help you.

'Did you come up with anything?'
Well, at least for now.
'Then make your move. Don't be in a hurry, but you can't be lazy, can you?　If you don't plow and water your fields, they won't sprout.

　Yeah, I guess so. Let's go over there and talk to the engineer first. Maybe he'll know something about the golems and what they can do to fight the mutants, so it won't be a waste of time.

All right, I'll be on my way.
"Be fruitful unto you.

　I parted from my uncle Kosuke with the hoe, and I used 【Other Space Transfer】 to transfer to the underworld.




"Well, then. The Elka engineer is........here?

　I search for the Elka engineer on my phone's map. It looks like he's in a place much further north from the Holy City Allen where we last met.
　First, I'll take the [Gate] to the Holy City, and then I'll fly to the [Fly] from there. Come to think of it, I hadn't eaten lunch yet, so I decided to have my lunch in the Holy City.
　Before transitioning to the Holy City and going to the café that I was familiar with, I bought some of the newspapers that were sold. The words in the headline caught my attention.

Mata] also appears as a golden monster.

　It seems that a mutant species has appeared in this world again. Moreover, it's here in the Holy City.
　It seems that the Golems under the Holy Knight's command managed to defeat the mutants, but it seems that a great nobleman in the Holy City was killed. It seems that this great nobleman was planning a rebellion against the royal family, and many of the people say it's punishment from heaven.
　I didn't know they were even appearing in this city....
　Until now, mutant species have been drawn by people's negative emotions to appear, but maybe they are becoming indiscriminate here.
　I don't think so, but is it because the worlds are merging together that the boundaries on this side are becoming weaker as well?
　If that's the case, we'll have to do something about it even more, won't we?
　In order to meet Engineer Erca as soon as possible, I gave up lunch and immediately flew out of the Holy City with [Fly].
　I don't forget to disappear with [Invisible] while flying. Sometimes I'll pass by an airship or something like that.
　We've come to the far north, in the surface world, we've come to the area around the Kingdom of Hannock.

''It should be somewhere around here........''

　I slowed down my altitude and speed and peered at the ground. It looks like he's moving slowly, so I think he's walking down the road....

''Hm?　Is that it?

　A lone shadow could be seen on the street. A lone wolf was dragging the collar of a woman in a soggy white coat in her mouth.
　No doubt it was Engineer Elka and his guard, the wolf-shaped golem Fenrir.
　The Doctor went limp and was being dragged along by Fenrir. Are you injured!
　[Invisible] and landed in front of Fenrir and the others.

''Hey, are you okay!
''Hmph!　Oh!　Lord Winterfellas!　Long time no see, have you had a good night?

　Fenrir lets go of the ELCA technician he was holding in his mouth and speaks to me. He still has a nice baritone voice.

''It doesn't matter, what's going on!　Elka-san is hurt in some way...'
"Nuh-uh?　Oh, it's nothing. The master wasted some rubbish in the last town and forgot to buy some food.'
''Huh!''

　

'I'm hungry...'

　I'm filled with anxiety, wondering if I can really rely on this man, as Engineer Elka stares at me with a face that looks like he's about to die.

''Is he going to be okay........''

　As if to reply, "It's not okay," the sound of my stomach rumbled again.
　I couldn't help but let out a small sigh.
