A high-pitched singing voice resounds on the battlefield. It's a singing spell released from Los Vise, the white aircraft on which the cherry blossoms ride. For a certain period of time, the singing voice makes our feet move lightly and slows down the enemy.
　While a standard French pop number is playing, we collided with a group of fake knights.

'Shape Change [Mode Change], Assault Spear [Lance]'

　The twelve crystal plates on the back of my special machine, Regingrave, fuse together and transform into a large crystal assault spear, the Lance.

''【Accel Boost】!

　I cast an acceleration spell and sprinted through the ground-threshold air. It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on a new one.

"Break into pieces!

　The Ortlinde Overlord of Suh swung the hammer down in his hand. This time it wasn't a hammer for hammer throwing. It's a real War Hammer 《War Hammer》.
　A mere lump of iron with no special abilities or anything else, just a large striking area. However, the hammer held by the giant Ortlinde Overlord turns into a fearsome weapon on its own.
　Even now, the golden skeleton that spilled out of the fake knight faux-knight I crushed is being flattened by that giant hammer. It's not just a matter of time before you get to the point where you can get your hands on it. ─ ─ ─ Overrun. That's exactly what it was.
　The golden glittering Ortlinde Overlord that Suu rides on and the dull, dark-golden fake knight 《Fakes》 have a different rank even though they are the same gold color.

''Yes!''

　When Oltrinde swung her hammer as if it was a poor golf swing, several fake knights were breaking apart and flying in the air.
　It's not just a matter of time before you are able to get your hands on it.
　It is the silver Brünnhilde that Yumina controls. It's not a good idea to have a good time with them.

''Haaaaaaah!

　Knowing this is why Else can also go in like that without hesitation. .........maybe.
　Else crushes the false knight 《Fakes》 attacking with the red god of war, Gerhilde, one after another.

''Crush!''

　Gerhilde's fist smashes the cockpit of the fake knight 《Fakes》. At the same time, the crystal stake 《Pile》 planted in his arm was shot out with the 【Explosion】 that exploded in the Medicine Chamber 《Chamber》 and stabbed into the golden skeleton that was riding it as if to chase it down.
　The skeleton that was carefully crushed into a tightly crushed skeleton was trampled down just in case. It would be troublesome if there were any nukes left.

''Nine-layered [Kokonoe] Shinmei-ryu profound technique, Hoshi Ittotsu!
Restia-style sword-five style, the spiral!

　The purple armored warrior and the orange knight were each piercing the cockpit of the fake knight 《Fakes》 that was in front of them, as they left their backs to each other. They were the Eightfold Schwertrite and Hilda's Sieglune.
　Like a frame, the two frame gears spun back to back as they pushed through the enemy lines. Each time they do so, the dark-gold colored wreckage is scattered around the area with a rattle.
　The artillery shells that flew to that point were further pursued. It was a shell fired by Lou's Valtraute equipped with a long-range type C "Caster" unit.
　The shells released from the emerald green fuselage disintegrated into pieces over the enemy's head. Turning it into a switch, [Gravity] was activated on the several small crystal bullets that were packed, and bullets weighing many tons rained down in a hailstorm.
　It's like the cluster bombs that were once hit by the advanced species of Frase.
　Similarly, Lean's black Grimgelde, which had been rebooted from overheating, was also showered with a rain of shells.
　Linse's Helmvige flies above it in flying form. From that blue-bodied aircraft, the battlefield from the sky is being sent to everyone one by one.
　Furthermore, the 【Ice Wall】 that Helmvige releases on the ground by the 【Ice Wall】 blocks the false knights <> and the others from going, and their movements are being guided. That's as good as it gets.
　Suddenly looking to the side, Ende's Dragon Knight 《Dragoon》 is leaving the battlefield. Of course, it wasn't fleeing before the enemy.
　This is because the spiked false knights《Fakes》and others are chasing behind them.
　Since it was supposed to be left to Ende and the others to deal with Flaze's general, Xeno and the like, I deactivated the [Prison] of the three Flaze girls just now. By doing so, Ende's plane is showing their presence to the ruling species on the enemy side.
　The 'King' of Frase is here, he said.
　So Ende is the decoy. But that General Zeno's spiked crew seems to be quite large, is he okay?

Hey, Ende. You look like you've got a lot of company, don't you?
"What, it's not like winter night. That's not a mutant that's chasing us over here. They're not mutants, they're the same dominant species as Mel and the others from the crystal world... the Freys.

　You mean you haven't mutated?　How did you not get taken in........ Or is there some reason?

''Else, Sakura, I'm sorry, but can you help me with Ende? I'll just be the main support.
'It can't be helped. I'll follow up on my useless, unreliable siblings.'
"You're dragging the king down I won't allow it. I will not allow you to drag the king down.
"Winter's Night.... Isn't that awful for you and these girls?
What is it with these wonderful women?

　He replied to the communication that Else and Sakura would be listening to as well. What else do I have to say to you?
　The spiked false knights 《Fakes》 that headed that way as if chasing Ende's Dragon Knight 《Dragoon》 were about twenty of them.
　Chasing them, Gerhilde of Else and Rosweisse of Sakura ran after them.
　Let's leave the other side to the two of them. I have to take care of this one as soon as possible.


　　　　　　　　　　◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.


That's enough.

　Ende turned his beloved dragon knight 《Dragoon》 around and deactivated its high mobility mode to face the approaching spiked fake knight 《Fakes》 head-on.

''Are you sure you want to do this?''
'Yes. Because I have to settle this one.

　Sitting on the back seat, Mel, who was his lover and the 'king' at the top of the crystalline life form called Frase, nodded quietly.
　After confirming that her resolve was firm, Ende pressed the cockpit hatch open/close button on the Dragon Knight 《Dragoon》.
　The monitor at the front moved to the top and the chest hatch opened up and down.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this as well. That figure is majestic. It's a figure worthy of being called a king. It is a far cry from the king of some dukedom.
　I've already removed the pendant I received from Fuyuyo, which is clothed in the form of a human being. The ice blue eyes were directed at the false knights 《fakes》 who were coming straight at him.
　In the same way, Nay riding on the right hand side of the dragon knight, and Lise riding on the left hand side of the dragon knight, have also returned to their original form, and are waiting like a close guard to protect the "king".
　Maintaining a certain distance, the false knights 《Fakes》 and others stopped their steps.
　Soon, the cockpit hatches of the fake knights opened one after another, just like the dragon knight's dragoon. The ones who emerged from inside were the dominant species of Fraise, wearing crystalline armor that shimmered in the sun.
　The eyes of Meru and the others narrowed slightly as a man with a different atmosphere from the others from the large false knight 《Fakes》 emerged into the sun.
　The dominant species that wore bright red crystals as if they were painted with blood. There is no phenomenon of aging in the Frays. It arises from the nucleus and after a certain time, its growth stops. This is the same as the elves and elves of this world.
　The man who appeared in front of Mel and the others was in his mid-twenties if he was a human being. His eyes were sharp like those of a bird of prey and he had a fearless smile on his face.
　The great general of the Frays, Xeno, who once led tens of thousands of Frays in the Crystalline Realm, kicking out the attacking different races and magical beasts in the Crystalline Realm, was the man's name. That was the man's name.

''It's been a long time since I've seen you, 'King'. I'm glad to see you're safe.
"I'm not the King anymore. No more flattery. General no, Zeno. Listen to me. Why did you leave the Crystal World? I had asked you to support the next King.

　Their voices reach out to each other without any sense of distance, even though they are far away from each other. To the dominant species, this kind of thing was nothing.
　The other dominant species, as well as Ende, could hear their conversations. The only people who can't hear anything are Else and Sakura, who are rushing in from the rear to support them. No, they can hear it, but they won't catch it as words. It seems like they are talking about something, but you could sense that they are talking about something.

You can also have a look at a few of the most important things you can do with your money. It is precisely because they recognize that, that the two of them flew out of the Crystal World to pursue you, didn't they?　We're not going to serve a cowardly 'king' either, that's all.

　Hearing Zeno's words, the sisters of Fraise on the hand of the Dragon Knight 《Dragoon》 glared at Zeno. Controlling Ney, who was about to open his mouth, Mel returned the words.

''My brother is a coward?''
That's right. Reconciliation and coexistence, such inertia, are not necessary in the Frayze. If they are in the way, destroy them, or if necessary, take them away. I can't bring myself to serve a "king" who has that kind of weak thinking. It is inevitable to call a person who has abandoned the instinct to fight a coward.

　Mel doesn't change his expression at all as he grins at Zeno.
　This man has only the word 'battle' in his head. It's not just that he's Gira's older brother, but his way of thinking is that of a fighting species itself. I'm not going to be the same as my brother in that he doesn't fight indiscriminately, but the fundamentals are the same.

''I thought about defeating the 'king', though........ Fighting a little boy like that doesn't make my heart skip a beat. It was at that time that Yura appeared. I'm going to give you a battlefield where you can fight "The King". I refused to accept the strange golden power, though.
'I see. So it was Yura's guide, after all. So?　Is Yura in there?
Well..... We haven't seen each other for a while. More importantly, "King". It's about time you quenched the thirst of our fighting species.

　Xeno smiles a fierce predator's smile.

'Very well. It seems that no words can reach you anymore. As the service of one who was once the 'king', I will at least give you the lead.
It's a pleasure.

　Condescendingly, Xeno thanked Mel and returned to his false knight, Faux.
　You will find a communication from Else to the cockpit where Ende is riding.

And?　How did the discussion end up?
It's dismissed. Well, there was never any room to talk about it in the first place. Still, I wanted to know what was going on, and in a way it's all on schedule.
"So we're gonna crush everyone around us, right?
It's all yours.

　As Ende replied, a song immediately flowed out of the cherry blossom Rosweisse, which was waiting behind the false knights 《Fakes》 and the others.
　The cherry blossom's singing voice echoed across the battlefield with a good rhythm.
　Since she was still singing in the original sound, the meaning of the song was never known by the people of this world.
　It's a song by a British duo of musicians, and even though Japan has given the song an odd term in the Japanese title, "Ukiukiuki," it hasn't lost any of its greatness.
　Inspired by the song, Ende and the others and Else's instantaneous decision-making abilities, as well as the magical glimmering furnace of the frame gear they are driving, are activated.

''Let's go, Gerhilde!

　The red God of Destruction rushed across the battlefield with a fist clashing. He kicked the earth and used the turbo boosters on his back to glide across the ground, closing in on the enemy plane at once.
　He unleashed a fist from his hip and smashed the cockpit with a bolt of lightning.
　Gaon, just as a wayward waste of money!　And then the pile bunker was launched. The dominant species on board was blown off and shattered.

'Hitotsu!'

　Another fake knight 《Fakes》 attacked Gerhilde from the side as she pulled out her fist, swinging her sword at him. While spinning around and avoiding it, Gerhilde's sharp spinning kick was released. The crystal wood blade that shot out from the heel area destroyed the fake knight in half up and down from the cockpit.

''Futatsu!''

　Looking at the Else machine that happily crushed the spiked fake knight 《Fakes》, Ende felt a flimsy feeling despite being a sister apprentice.

''Well, there's no way a decent girl would be a companion for Winter Night.......''

　The fiancées there are strange to a greater or lesser extent. I would never say this in front of them.
　Even Ende knows that his life is spared. There is nothing more foolish than to offend a woman at any time in any part of the world.

'Well, we'll just crush our opponents.

　Ende pointed the dragon knight 《Dragoon》 at the spiked fake knight 《Fakes》, which was boarded by Zeno, who held a sword and shield.
　In order not to interfere with the fight, Ney and Lise jumped down to the ground.

''Listen, Ende Muon!　If you put Master Mel in danger, you're going to get away with it!
Worst of all, I want Master Mel back safe and sound.
Don't you guys have any support or encouragement or anything like that...

　Ende's shoulders slump in disappointment as he looks at the monitor showing the two of them. Mel sees that and gives a small smile.

'Oh, you two needed some encouragement?'
No I'm not saying that. As long as I have your support, it's enough for me.
Thank you. Good luck then. I'll be rooting for you.
Yeah, I'm on it.

　The heels of the heels jumped backwards, the anchors of the toes were removed, and the dragon knight 《Dragoon》 shifted into high mobility mode.
　Like a dragon roaring, the small Makouro on both legs roared out. It seems that his beloved machine is also sufficiently motivated.

''Let's go, Dragon Knight [Dragoon]!

　Fully opening the throttle, the dragon knight 《Dragoon》 with Frase's 'King' on board slid off the ground with unprecedented speed.
