394 # 394 Preparation for interception, and the dominant species.







 Two Black Knight Knight Barons and 18 Chevaliers per country, for a total of 20 frame gears.
 The participating countries are from the surface world, almost all of the countries of the Eastern Seaboard. Excluding Brunhild, there are 18 countries. (The tribes of the Great Tree Sea are not included. They take pride in fighting with their own bodies. Hence, they don't ride frame gear.
 Twenty machines from each of the eighteen countries, for a total of 360 machines, plus fifty machines from Brunhild, plus my Regingrave, Yumina and the other nine specialized "Valkyria" machines, for a total of forty frame gears to fight the mutant species.
 At the time of the Great Euron Attack, we had about two hundred machines. This time we have twice that number, and we have our newer machines as well. We should have an advantage over that time, but this time we're not dealing with the Flaze, we're dealing with a mutant species. We can't be too careful.
 Apart from that, we've also pulled two overgears from Norn and Nia, as well as Ende's Dragon Knight "Dragoon" forcibly.
 I'm ready and ready to fight. The problem is.........




''As I thought, the place of appearance is the sea.

 Dr. Babylon crosses his arms as he looks at the map on the monitor of the Institute.

'How's the waterproofing on the frame gear?
"Fuyao-kun's Regingrave, those kids' special plane, the Valkyria, two overgears, and Ende-kun's dragon knight, the Dragoon, they're fine here. They won't be flooded even if they go under water. Their movements will be slower, though. But the other frame-gear's cockpits aren't basically sealed, so it's quite dangerous. You can be submerged in the water up to your waist, but beyond that, the cockpit will be flooded. But beyond that, the cockpit will be flooded, and I can't guarantee the pilot's life.

 You mean you could drown at worst.
 Of course, there's an emergency transporter, so it's possible to escape before that. However, if you were to fall unconscious and fall into the sea, it is possible that you would drown without being able to escape. It's still safer to fight on the ground.

You can't read a mutant's behavior, so.... After it emerges, we'll use search magic to capture it and ambush it on our way...
'I'm sure there will be some flying ones as well as oceans, so we'd better think about that one too.

 The aircraft that can deal with enemies in the air are my Regingrave, which can fly, Linse's Helmvige, Umina's Brünnhilde, which can attack at long range, Lean's Grimgelde, Sakura's Rosweisse, and then Lou's Valtraute, which has been converted to an artillery unit. I think I can handle it.
 I ask the doctors to adjust the frame gear and return to Brunhild's castle. Just as I was on the terrace, sister Hanakoi 《Karen》 was there, so I asked her what was on my mind.

''Isn't the mutant species going to use 'Divine Demon Poison'?'''
Yes. If they spread it around, me, Yumina and the others won't be able to fight.
''Oh, it's okay. The Divine Demon Poison is absorbed by the earth and takes root in the ground, turning the entire area into a swamp of divine poison. As I said before, this poison doesn't mix well with the flowing water, so even if you scatter it in the ocean, it will only scatter and disappear before it's absorbed by the ocean floor. Besides, it's not easy to make the 'divine Devil Poison' that easily.

 Is that right? So does that meteor shower thing put a stop to that poison? 

''To begin with, the 'Divine Demon Poison' is created by sacrificing the soul of a god. And maybe that evil god sacrificed it...
...a captured dependent god, huh?

 The evil god he created originally took his body into his body, and his soul was sacrificed to create the 'divine and demonic poison', that neat god. He can't be saved. Well, he had it coming, though.
 So the hex that covers Isengard is cursed by that nieto god. You know, he's the kind of guy who gives you trouble even if he's dead. Is he a god of evil?

The only thing that matters is that we have to do something about the 'divine Demon Poison', otherwise we can't even go to defeat the evil gods....... Have you come up with any countermeasures?
''Farmer God........Uncle Kosuke is trying to create a divine plant that absorbs the 'divine Demon Poison' and turns it into harmless magic. I'm afraid he's not doing very well.
Is it hard?
That's true. You are trying to create a family of agricultural gods from scratch. It's more difficult than giving birth to a genie.

 I didn't know that. I can see why I haven't seen Uncle Kosuke lately. I should send him something next time.
 As I was thinking about that, my phone in my pocket alerted me to an incoming call. Hmm? Ende.

Hello?
'Oh, Winter's Night? I'm sorry, I need to talk to you about something. Can you come over here?
Are you from home?
"Yeah, yeah.

 Ende, Mel, and the Fray's group of Nay Lise sisters live in a house in the castle town. We decided to walk there since it's right there.
 Before that, we stopped by the large training ground in the north that we could see from the terrace. As I recall, Rosetta was making final adjustments to her overgear today.
 In the large training ground north of the castle, the black and red machine beasts were waiting in a 'prone' position. They were Norn and Nia's overgear.
 And one of the princes in suspicious pumpkin pants who was making some kind of noise in front of those two planes.

'Why are you here...'
Oh, Fuyao-kun! This is awesome! I never thought I'd be able to use the power of 'The Crown' like this!

 Robert looks up at the two overgears with sparkling eyes.
 This guy, he came again with Blau's transition ability........ Even though it's enough for Hanakoi, Karen, to be a godsend.

''Norn! Nia! I need a ride in that one! Come on! Come on, come on, come on!
No, you stupid prince, you stupid prick!
Don't talk in your sleep.

 As they closed in on each other, Robert was eating an iron claw from Nia and a kick to the shin from Norn. He's still annoying as ever. You could call it normal driving.

'The overgear is built to suit the golems you'll be riding in, so no one but the master can move it. In other words, it won't move even if you're on it.
Oh, yeah?
"It was originally built specifically for the Golems in 'The Crown'. It's not just the same type of machine as the Norn's "Leonor" and Nia's "Tigaluge", but the Golems are not interchangeable. I have another spare basic frame in reserve, but if it's not 'Crown', it's meaningless...

 After talking that far, haha, I held my mouth, but it was too late. Robert's gaze, looking at me with glittering eyes, assaults me. Ugh. I'm not happy about a man's passionate gaze.

"So you mean that you can build a plane specifically for the 'crown', Blau! I mean, a plane that I can get on! That's awesome! I'm excited!
No, wait a minute. It's not that easy.
'I think you'd better get on with building it because it's a pain in the ass. I'm sure it'll haunt you every day until you say 'build', so that lame prince.

 Seriously.
 Norn's words had a weight to them that was backed up by his experience so far. When I looked up at Rosetta, who was maintaining the overgear, she gave a small sigh of relief.

'The base is the same, so there's no reason why the aircraft itself can't be built. The base is the same, so the aircraft itself is not impossible to build, but it will take more time to adjust to the Golem, because it will have to be done from scratch.
Norn is a lion and Nia is a tiger. What do I want to be? A deer would be so elegant. No, we're both in the cat family, so I guess dogs.......or wolves or foxes. What do you two think?
'I don't care about the intensity. Are you a horse or a deer?
It's just a bear. You can hibernate in there forever.

 Nia and Norn's cold voices were completely unbearable, and Robert seemed to enjoy talking to them. This prince has too much mental strength.

''Either way, you won't be able to make it to this battle. You're a tour group just like the kings of the Western Continent.''
'Mmmm.... It can't be helped. I'll ask for the next one. But I wonder if they will be okay without me. I'm really worried about Norn and Nia alone!
'Oh? You're trying to pick a fight, man.
You have no right to be concerned about me.

 Iron claw to Nia again and Robert eats a shin kick to Norn. No, I think he was genuinely worried about that one. The way he said it........
 The dominant prince who isn't even a little bit dented in response to the blame of the two of them. Oops, I can't stay with this guy forever. I leave Robert and the others and hurry to the castle town.
 When I visited a house with a decent-sized garden on the outskirts of town, I was greeted by Mel, who had disguised herself as a human using the magic tools I had given her.

I'm sure you'll be happy to see me. It's been a long time.

 It's very hard to believe that she is the 'King' of the Frays. He wears an apron and thinks he's some young wife. I want to punch Ende in the face somehow inexplicably.
 When I walked into the simple house, which was reasonably large but not filled with extraneous things, Ende, Lise and Ney were waiting for me.
 It's not like I'm empty-handed, so I give Lise an assortment of cookies from the 【Storage】 as a souvenir.

I'm sorry to go to this trouble. I wanted to talk to you about something.
'What? You mean the battle tomorrow?

 While drinking the tea that was served, I asked Ende. Ende will be joining us with the dragon knight "Dragoon". Was there a problem?

'Yeah, that's part of it. First of all, Mel and the other dominant species of the Frays can thinly perceive the existence of the mutant species that were originally their compatriots. I can sense their presence when they ride to our side from the so-called space gap. We don't know the exact number or time like the tablets in the guild. But there is a part where Mel and the others are better than us.
Excellence?
The power of identification. Tomorrow's mutant emergence will undoubtedly result in an advanced species. That's not all. There's also a mutant master species.
Wha...

 A mutated dominant species........ The Freys were split into two sides: the Evil God side led by Yura and the Mel side led by Nei. As a result, most of the flames were absorbed by the Evil God's side and fed, while Nei relied on Lise to come to our side and reunite with Mel and join our side.

'If this mutated dominant species is the sister and brother of Leto and Rutto, you'll have to leave it to us. I want to pay them back.
Leto and Lutto, that's it? The one where you got beat up and ran away crying...
I'm not crying! It's true that I escaped, but I'm not crying...⁉︎
'Really? But then he stole the divine twin swords in another world and was beaten to a pulp by his uncle Wuyu [Takeru] until he lost his memory and was used for good by the Senate President of Triharan...
'Ah! Ah! I can't hear you!

 Nay's iron fist flew from beside him as Ende held his ears and began to scream.

'Shut up!'
Oh, shit.

 Ende sinks into the couch after being beaten up.

'I owe Leto and Rutto a debt of gratitude as well. Could you please hear me out?
No, that's okay. But if it's too dangerous, I'll mess with you. If you don't mind.
I don't mind. I appreciate it.

 Ney gives a small bow. This guy has become more rounded since he came to Brunhild. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. Is it because of Mel and the others?
 Well, it's only natural that she wanted to see Mel.

It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with them.
'When I was there, it was just Yura, my retort sisters, and Gila. But that doesn't mean there hasn't been an increase since then.
What do you mean?

 I raise one eyebrow at Nay's explanation. I beat Gira, so now that I've beaten her, aren't there just three more of us?

We have come to this world in pursuit of our King, Master Mel. But that doesn't mean that no one from his hometown of Freesia, the Crystal Realm, has responded to Yura's summons. It's because he has been plotting to become king since he was in the Crystal Realm, targeting the power of Master Mer and planning to become the king. It's not surprising that there are a few dominant species of child-herders.

 No, if those dominant species turn into mutants too... well, I'm sure they will, and the dominant species that will be attacked this time could be them.
 If it's not Leto and Ruto, who Ende and the others are looking for, then I'll leave that to Morohara, Karina and uncle Takeru. It's literally a godsend. I'm going to ask you to support me, the new god candidate, in the truest sense of the word.

"Well, this is a fundamental question, but are you able to beat a mutated dominant species?
''Oh, don't be ridiculous. I'm still a disciple of the god of war, and I've endured that infernal training. ...Do you know how many times I thought I died? You don't know that, do you? Hahaha, the state of martial arts is the state of selflessness. With an open mind and a clear vision. Hahahahahaha.

 The light disappeared from Ende's eyes as he remembered something, and a thirsty laugh escaped. 'You're going to be okay tomorrow, this guy.

'Get a grip, Ende Muon.
"Ha. Oh, that's okay, Mel. It's just a painful reminder.

 Ende regains his senses after being shaken by Mel. Isn't that too much, Uncle Takeru? I'm starting to get a little worried about Else, who is an apprentice like Ende.

''Thanks for the food.

  How fast-paced.
 Will it be okay tomorrow........ No, it will be fine. We're ready to intercept them. Now all we have to do is crush them.
 That's reassuring (?). We have new friends. It has to be okay.
 Maybe it will.
