370 # 370 Matchmaking and conflict.






 I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.
 A large number of dragons, led by the silver dragon Shirogane, live here and do not allow humans to land.
 If a ship approaches, the old dragon, which can understand human language, will warn you and if you don't comply with his warnings, he will turn you away.
 I've warned him not to kill too many of them, but that's not a given. If the dragon is in danger, I've given permission to attack the island and myself for defense.
 This Dracliff Island, however, is located right in the middle of the inland sea surrounded by the countries of the underworld, Triharan, Strain, Gem and Arendt.



 I thought it wouldn't be a bad place for the Crown Prince of Triharan and the Princess of Strain to meet up for an arranged marriage, so I decided on this location.
 On that day, the emperor and crown prince from Triharan, and the queen and princess from Strain, along with several knights in their guards, met at this dragon-flying mansion on Dracliff Island.
 Prince Rupheus looked more formally dressed than usual, but Princess Berrietta had changed a lot since the first time I saw her in black-rimmed glasses and tuna.
 You can find a lot of people who have been in the market for a long time, but they are not interested in the same thing. Women are changing.....
 Anyway, after a brief greeting and introductions of each of them, the blind date has begun in a room of the mansion.
 Although I'm the caretaker of the two........or rather the caretaker of the two countries, I'm also an outsider, so I tried not to interfere too much in the conversation that was proceeding peacefully. And even if it wasn't, I don't know much about the situation in our country.
 But even so, the only people talking are His Majesty Emperor Triharan and Queen Margarita, and I can see that the people themselves are still nervous about each other.

The garden of this mansion has beautiful flowers and plants, and you can see the entire island. Why don't you and I go around for a bit?
'What? Oh, yes, if you don't mind, Princess Berrietta....
Well, I don't mind. Then let's go then.

 Smiling at each other, they each took one guard knight and walked out into the garden.
 I don't want anything to happen to them, though, so I'll have Red Ball keep an eye on them from above.

''Surprisingly, it doesn't seem like a bad first impression.
Yeah. Not a bad vibe.

 Both Her Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Queen seem to be expressing relief at the moment, not so much as the head of state, but as parents.
 However, from the standpoint of being the head of state, this is a rare opportunity for heads of state to talk to each other. By the time they returned, they had started various proposals and discussions, and the two parents had gone completely into work mode.
 Since it's not a good idea to interfere too much, Their Majesties left it up to the three Golem sisters, Shirogane, Ruby, Safa and Emera, in their butler's outfits, and I went out into the garden too.
 Of course, I don't intend to interfere with the two who are on an arranged marriage ceremony. I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on. Just a little bit, you know.
 When I synchronized 《Synchronized》 with the vision of Beniyama perched on a tree branch, I could see the two of them walking in the garden while maintaining a delicate distance.
 As expected, we still can't break the ice. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what to say to each other, but I can't seem to figure out what the trigger is. If we have something in common, why don't we use it?

Neither one of them seems to be used to these occasions...

 On the other hand, a man who was bound by his old lady's fiancée and had no freedom. On the other hand, the woman who had no interest in the world and was a hermit in her workshop. After all this time, are these two really royalty? I doubt it.

''You should give him a little push, Fuyu-kun.
Hmm, it's really none of my business.
But if you don't, you'll just end up with a distant, distant marriage.
It certainly doesn't feel like that........but.......

 Before I knew it, I couldn't help but shout out while looking twice at Hanakoi sister who was standing beside me.

''So don't kill any signs and don't approach her! Bad for the heart! I mean, why is it here...
''My sister's sensors caught it. This time they were people who didn't have much of a relationship with Fuyao-kun, so the sensitivity wasn't great.

 The god of love who looks at you like you've been spared. I wish I could break those sensors.

'But I still think it's better to give them a boost. You see, I'm talking less and less, and it's starting to look uncomfortable, you know?

 Oh, really. Hmmm, I don't feel like I've been taken for a ride, but I'm going to go for a bit.
 I took out a Demonic Vehicle 《 Ether Vehicle》 from 【Storage】 and activated the Demonic Motive. Perfectly, Hanakoi sister gets into the passenger seat. ........well, it's fine.
 While emitting a low magic motor sound, which is not an engine sound, she slowly drove to the two of them.

''Ah⁉︎''
Your Majesty, that's...!

 The two of them were glued to our magic vehicle, the "Ether Vehicle", more than my appearance and Hanakoi's sister sitting next to me.
 The magic vehicle 《ether vehicle》 that I presented to them was modeled on the Fiat 3.5 (3 1/2) HP, but the magic vehicle 《ether vehicle》 that we are currently driving was modeled on a car called the Renault Type K.
 It was the car that Renault of France won the Paris-Vienna race in 1902. The real car had a top speed of 125 km/h, but this one was not so fast. It's just a model, it's not the same thing inside.
 But it can go much faster than that if you know how. I've made it impossible for the body to do so, though, because it may not be able to last as long as the body.
 As soon as the magical car "Aether Vehicle" stops in front of two people (four people including the knights guarding it) and we get out of the car, they immediately come up to us.

''This is a different magical vehicle than the one you saw the other day, isn't it!
Excuse me, sir, could I have a look inside?

 Nodding at Princess Berrietta's words, I opened the hood of the Type K.
 As if in competition, they peered inside, both of their eyes gleaming.

''There are three ether lines engraved on it. And this magic motive I've never seen before.
'I think it's the one used in the Galdio Empire's golem carriage, right? Made by Gritten.
'No. That one is much bigger and not made in such a delicate way.
So....

 The two knights in the guard are looking at the two men talking about this and that suddenly.
 It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you'll be able to get a new job.
 Instead of the G-Cube, the Aether Liquid is used, and the Aether Vehicle is moving by transmitting the amplified magic power to the magic engine.
 Naturally, there are differences in durability, quality, power output, and the fuel efficiency of the Aether Liquid depending on the magic motive. That's an interesting point.

That's the new demon motive that we've created in our world. Even in the surface world, new magical vehicles called 'Aether Vehicles' are now being created one after another.

 Rosetta was the one who single-handedly built this type K, though. I refrained from leaving it to Dr. Babylon and the Elka engineers because I thought they would create something extraordinary if I left it to them.
 In addition, dwarves and mages from the Felsen Kingdom also created their own magic vehicle, the Aether Vehicle. According to the doctor, they are quite unique and interesting in terms of performance and shape.

He said, "I'm thinking about whether we can collect the Aether Vehicle magical vehicles from different countries and race them someday. We're in the testing stage. I'm thinking of running a number of Aether Vehicles on a course that I built for testing purposes in the near future.

 It is not good to have a certain amount of regulations (rules), though. There's also a standard for safe driving.
 However, this race is also a test to see what kind of course the magic vehicle "ether vehicle" will run and what kind of results it will get, so I'm going to do some recklessness.
 The magic can reduce the danger to a certain extent, and it can also make for an interesting course.
 I can make a panel that slows down for ten seconds when you step on it, or even a tunnel that goes up in speed when you step on it, or vice versa.
 There are even seats with enchanted teleportation. If the impact is too strong, the driver is instantly moved to a safer place. We use them in the frame gear, too, which is more convenient than airbags.

"Why don't you two join us for a test race? I thought it would be interesting.
I do! I'm in!
'Of course! That sounds so interesting!

 The two of them bite off my line and announce their participation. I'm too excited.
 He immediately wanted to know the structure of Type K, so I took out the drawing Rosetta had drawn and gave it to him. If it were the doctor or me, I'd have a shot at [Analyze].
 Well, let alone the doctor, I can't understand the structure even if I recognize it.

''I see.......I see......there's a method like this....
'But with this, if there is a sudden release of magical power...'
That's why these parts...
If that's the case, then I'm going to cut it out here...

 We turned on our heels, leaving the man and woman already in their world as they looked at the drawings.

'Now I can speak normally somehow, I guess?
'This is only the beginning. They have to start getting to know each other and want to get to know each other. What those two want to know is still the Aether Vehicle, the magical car.

 Well, I guess. It would be nice if you can become aware of the other person through that. Well, that's up to you, and it's also up to your timing. I can't say that I'm a big man.
 When I returned to the mansion, Her Majesty the Emperor and Her Majesty the Queen were chatting and relaxing.

''Oh, Fuyu-dono. How were the two of you?''
'We were talking nicely. I think it's good.
Well. That's it.

 Their Majesties look at each other and have a look of joy on their faces. I guess they were worried about him as a parent, after all.
 I introduced sister Hanakoi to the two of them, and we also talked a bit about the Two Worlds Conference while drinking the tea that Shirogane had brewed for us.
 In response to the call from the Strain Kingdom, the Holy Kingdom Arendt has promised to participate in the conference, but the Raze-wu Kingdom still seems to be a little hesitant.
 It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're talking about.
 I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

I'm sure his country is not a concern. I'm sure that as soon as Fuyu-dono shows a little bit of strength, I'll believe him.
What do you mean?
As the Kingdom of War, the people of that country respect the strength of the individual. If you go head to head with them fairly and squarely and show them your strength, they will at least listen to you.

 Hmm, is this a country full of brainiacs? I feel that even if we throw in uncle Takeru 《Take》 who is a warrior god, the problem will be easily solved if we throw him in there.......

''I know roughly what you're thinking about, Fuyao-kun, but I think you shouldn't do that because it's going to be troublesome.
Oh, yeah?

 Hanakoi's sister spotted me. It's going to be a hell of a lot of work for sure.
 The Panachez Kingdom seems to have been drummed up by the pumpkin pants prince as an example. He seems to take the liberty of spreading the word that he's my friend, but I don't remember them being my friend. I know him, I know him.
 We'll start with Triharan, Primula, Arendt, Panachez, and if all goes well, we'll invite the five countries of Lase's underworld to the Two World Congress.
 Just as we were about to work out the general schedule, a telepathic message flew out from Bennyu.

''Lord, there seems to be a slight problem.
What's the matter?
I think those two have started arguing amongst themselves.
Okay.
How can I help you?

 Her Majesty tilts her head when she sees me, who couldn't help but say it out loud.

''Oh, I'm sorry. I just got a call, so I'll excuse myself.''

 He pulls his phone out of his pocket and says, "Hello, it's me," while making a wry smile. Oh, about that........" and so on as I acted out and walked out into the garden. When I came to a position where I couldn't be seen by Their Majesties, I flew at once to the place where Beniyama was at with [Teleportation].

''So! We need to strengthen the magic motive first, right?
First of all, there's the balance of the body! If you ignore safety, you're nothing!
I'm not going to ignore you! What's the point of just putting the sturdiness in front of it! Of course it's better to specialize than to build a balanced one!
"The way it's built is hard on the rider! There's always going to be something you can't do! People aren't machines!

 They look at each other and are shouting at each other in a controversial manner. Behind them, the knights in the escort were loitering in confusion.
 It seems that the two sides have a difference in policy in creating the magic vehicle, the Aether Vehicle.

''Oh well, you two need to calm down a bit...''

 I tried to calm them down and call out to them as they stared at each other, but their gazes were directed at me. What is this, scary!

What does Your Majesty think⁉︎ If the performance and quality of the magical motive force is improved, don't you think that will increase the overall possibilities⁉︎ Otherwise, the Aether Vehicle won't develop!
If the machine can't be used by everyone, such high performance is useless⁉︎ I think a more user-friendly machine is more durable and can be used in all kinds of situations.
I'm sorry, I'm not sure...

 And I didn't make it, so...

I get it! If you insist, I'll prove it in a test race! I will not be beaten by Rufus-sama's magical car, Aether Vehicle!
'Let's take a stand! I'm going to prove that speed isn't the only deciding factor in racing!

 I don't want to. We don't have a solid course yet, so don't tell me what to do. It's not like you two are the only ones running.
 I meant well, and now it's backfiring!

It's okay! We're going to play each other fair and square and with all our might!
Hey, hey! What are you inciting? Sis!

 Before I knew it, my idiot sister appeared behind me with both fists thumbs up. Don't make a complicated appearance at a complicated time!

'Oh well. This is the kind of love that comes from conflict. It's important to be aware of your partner first, so it's okay to let them go all out this time.
"...really? Aren't you just trying to be funny?

 I look suspiciously at Hanakoi's sister who has been secretly whispering to me. Though it's true that both of us are more aware of the other than ever before.
 Are you sure you're okay with this? This..........
 As I watched the two of them confront each other with a fearless smile, I was vaguely uneasy.
