A few days after I put a 'curse' on what I thought was Zabit, who was after Silhouette-san, a few days later.
　All of the people involved in the "Black Butterfly Papillon", including Xabit, who was in charge of the "Black Butterfly Papillon's" backstage work, including his subordinates, except for Silhouette's side, disappeared from the commercial city of Cantare.
　Well, just because they're in the same city, the chances of them getting involved with Silhouette-san's side are high. I understand the feeling.
　The tower that resembled the gleaming Lung Yunkaku, which was gleaming, seems to have lost its light after losing its inhabitants.
　However, it's probably only a matter of time before it gets a new owner and regains its original light. Because there are many merchants in this city.
　By the way, Silhouette-san seems to have no intention of moving to that tower that was Zabit's residence.
　Silhouette and the other members of the former Black Butterfly, the Papillon, have changed their name to the Black Cat, and are going to continue their activities.
　I thought it was the same as the Akaneko, but it seems they named it with that in mind. By the way, I remember there was a black cat in Silhouette-san's room. Maybe it was named after him, too. Or is it just out of rivalry?
　I handed a number of sensing boards (tablets) to Silhouette-san, who once again became the 'black cat'.

''This is a magic tool that can predict the appearance of a mutant.......golden monster?
'Yes. That's the direction, distance, number of appearances and predicted time of appearance. This will enable us to evacuate and intercept. I want you to have this placed in the inn or brothel where Silhouette-san's men are, and if they respond, I want you to contact them immediately.

　I explain to Silhouette-san, who is checking various things with a black, thin plate shaped sensing plate.
　I was more surprised by the mass-produced smart phone I gave him afterwards than the sensor board, but it was more surprising than the "tablet". Well, I was still the only one Silhouette-san had registered her phone with.
　After this, I was going to give it to Nia and the rest of the "Akaneko", but Nia's seemed to include Silhouette-san, so she wouldn't be calling him.
　The Red Cat's deputy leader, Esto, would have done this, but Esto and Silhouette don't seem to be having a good time with their conversations, as they seem to be scheming and malicious.

''It's a promise, and after receiving such a thing, we have no choice but to cooperate. The world crisis is not necessarily a lie. When the appearance of the golden monster is supplemented, I will certainly contact you, so don't worry. So, since there's nothing between us, it's time for you to let your guard down. Ladies?

　With a teasing tone, Silhouette-san turned her attention to Yumina and Lou on either side of me. Both of them clung to my arms and never left me.

'I know you're not a bad person. But there is no doubt that you are a danger to us, so just in case.
"We won't let you cut our Lady Winteryacht into bones in the house of whoredom!　I mean, don't you think you show off too much?
Fuyao-kun, someone loves you.
No, hahaha...

　Sandwiched between the two of them, I had to chuckle.
　The other day, when I returned to the surface world from the Gekkoukan, I was lectured a lot, with everyone pointing out the shifting scent of my perfume and the hickeys on my cheeks.
　I managed to get them to understand, but they decided that when I go to the underworld (especially when I meet with Silhouette-san), I must take a few people along with me.
　I wonder if they don't trust me.... Well, it's true, I do feel oddly fidgety when I come here!　He may have seen through that part. It can't be helped, he's a boy.....

I don't understand why you're worried about your boyfriend, but... 　Then there are some customers and girls who are dying to be seen, so if you want to take a tour?
What?　What do you mean, a tour?
What do you mean, "tour"?　What do you mean, "visit"?

　The faces of the two people on both sides of the room are turning red in a flash. It's not just a matter of time before you're able to get your hands on it.
　I'm sure you'll be able to see that, Silhouette-san is grinning and smiling at that. You're totally teasing me.
　They're both princesses in a box, so they don't have much tolerance for that sort of thing. It's not like the world you're from, where there's no such thing as an adult DVD... haha!
　I can't help but look at the mass-produced phone I gave to Silhouette-san. I wonder if I've given it to someone in trouble by any chance........
　If you marketed a magic tool that could play back recorded videos, it would sell worldwide....... The erotic power is worth the money, you know. ........I've never watched a DVD like that, though. I'm underage!
　Oops, I need to get you two calmed down. I'm really going to spit smoke at this point.

'It's nice to be new.'
Don't make fun of me too much. We're both very innocent.
Oh, God, you're making it sound like I'm not a very innocent person, aren't you?
Are you innocent?
No way.

　We left Gekkoukan with the two people who were still red-faced. Now, the only thing left to do is to go to the 'Red Cat'. We have some troublesome ones over here, you know....




"Well, it's winter night and you have a fiancé or something? And two of them?　You're good at that, man!　You handsome man!

　I knew it was going to bite me. With a twinkle in her eye, Nia is in the state of the neighborhood old lady with a whole lot of onlooker's guts. Ugh.
　What do you mean, "It's a winter's night," huh? I'm sorry, man.

To be exact, including us, Fuyao-san has a total of nine daughters to be married, right?
Nine?　You don't owe us enough!　You're not a king!　I mean, you're a king.......so is it an ant in your world?

　In response to Umina's return, Nia crosses her arms and twists her neck while swinging her red twin-tails.
　No, even in the surface world there are many of them........ Even His Majesty, the King of Iglet, has seven wives. He's dead now, but I heard that Sandra's Pig King had more than 20 people.

I'm wondering if it's really all right for you to have this communication device called a "smart phone"?　As far as we're concerned, it helps, but...
'Yes, sir. Yes, please have it with you in case of emergency. It has mapping, calculation and memo functions, so it's handy.

　Est-san looked up from the instruction manual she had been looking at earlier and asked. Beside her, ponite girl Yuni and fluffy wave Yuri were frolicking around taking pictures of each other with their own phones.
　At the abandoned fort where the "Red Cat" hideout is located, we handed Nia and the other four a mass-produced smartphone. That's the main purpose of today's visit, but actually there's another one.

''In exchange, though, there's something I'd like you to help me with.
I'm not sure. I'd be happy to help in any way I can.

　Normally, this kind of conversation should be discussed with Nia, the leader of the group, but, well, there's no problem. It's as if Est-san has the actual authority over the [Red Cat].
　I go out of the tent and pull out four things that look like eggs on their sides, as big as a light car, from 【Storage】.

''This is........''
It's called "Flame Unit. Umina, can you ask Lou?
Yes. Okay.
He's all yours.

　With a familiar hand, the two men opened the hatch of the frame unit and climbed inside. Soon, a low activation sound emanated from the unit, and the landscape of the plains was projected on a large screen in the air ahead of them. Hmm, a plain stage.
　From the empty air of that plain, the White Knight 《Shine Count》 and the Black Knight 《Night Baron》 appeared and landed on the virtual earth. So Yumina is the white knight "Shine Count" and Lou is the black knight "Night Baron"? Unlike the ones in the castle, this unit doesn't have the data of the special machine 《Valkyria》 in it.

''Whoa!　It's a giant golem!
That's... the other day...!
What the hell is that?　Huh?
Wow....

　Nia and the others showed surprise from all four sides. Even the members of the 'Red Cat [Akaneko]' who were around were glued to the screen floating in the air with their mouths open.

''This is called a 'frame unit'. As you can see, it's a training device for practicing the Frame Gear.

　On the screen, a battle between the frame gears begins.
　The white knight of Yumina's white knight unleashed a sword, and Lou's black knight received it with his shield. As it was, the black knight's axe spear 《Halberd》, which had gained momentum with a half turn, was ducked by the white knight this time by squatting down.

''I'll lend you this, please let the people in the fort train.......no, let them play with it.
This?　Does that tell us to get on that thing and fight?
'I hope that opportunity never comes.... I don't think it's a bad thing to have the power to protect what you want to protect.

　At my words, Est-san looked at the screen and thought about it, but eventually he nodded.

'For now, let's borrow it as a tool of entertainment for now. And if you learn that skill, you might not feel as helpless as you did the other day.

　I hand Est-san the instruction manual for the frame unit, which is as thick as a notebook. It's a manual for the frame unit, or rather, for how to move the frame gear.
　The battle that unfolded on the screen came to an end with the victory of Lou riding the Black Knight. Is Lou still better in close combat?
　But it's a very small margin. It's a good thing that they are able to fight each other so evenly, is it because Yumina's example ability has evolved?
　The ability to foresee the future. It's still ambiguous, but it will become a very powerful weapon once you learn to use it.
　Not only her, but the other eight people in my family may have undergone some changes as well.
　The hatch of the frame unit opens and the two come out.

''Yes, next, me!
'Oh, you don't have to force Nia to do it because it might not make sense to do it.

　I called out to Nia, who was going to the frame unit with a lot of energy. The watered-down Nia glares at me with a voice filled with anger.

You're mocking me, aren't you?　As soon as you get on me like that...
No, no, no, I don't mean that. Engineer Elka is working on a new frame-gear based on our doctor and the Golem. It's going to be something completely different, and it's only going to work with ancient aircraft. And since I want Nia to fly with Rouge, I don't think there's much point in practicing with a frame unit.

　I turn my gaze to the red golems behind Nia, which are as tall as a child. I hope I can make use of the power of that ancient plane called the 'crown', that ancient plane called 'Legacy'.

It's not that I can't use this, but that doesn't mean I can't use it, right?
'Well, yes. Just for fun.
Then that's good. Hey, Lou, why don't you show me how to do it? Show me how to do it.

　Quickly, Nia pulls Lou along and gets into the frame unit.

''What a dynamic person you are,''
'Basically, it's ridiculous. According to Est,

　I crossed my arms and responded to Yumina's impressions with a sigh.
　Yuni and Yuri happily follow Nia, and with Lou as their instructor, the four frame gears operated by the four of them appear on the screen.
　First of all, they are repeating the basic movements of forward, backward, jumping and crouching under Lou's direction. It's still a dangerous move, but they'll get used to it eventually. Our knights were the same way.
　Now I'll just have to go hand over my phone to the kings of the Primula Kingdom and the Triharan God Empire. Oh, and while we're at it, I'll take the Central Imam to the Kingdom of Primula oops, you're already Queen Parellius. You're already Queen Parellius?
　It's an amazing story about a family with the same ancestors building their own royal families in different worlds. Meeting again after 5,000 years.......sounds grand, but after that much time, we could say that we're strangers to each other.
　Come to think of it, Engineer Elka said that His Majesty the King of Primula has something called the "stone tablet" that has been handed down from generation to generation, and that I may be able to decipher it. Let's have a look at that as well.
　I was thinking about this while looking at the frame gear that began to chase each other on the screen.
