Kill!　ROGOUGH!

　A huge, red-copper-skinned Oga tribe is buzzing around a log and closing in on us. That's a hell of a lot of power. I'm not going to be able to get away with it if I get hit by that thing.
　That is if it hits you.

"Alright...

　He ducked and ducked the log that was swung down and ran up his big arm and slammed the great sword in Frey's hand into the rear neck of the oga.

''Ugh!

　Oga falls forward. His head is not cut off. The great sword seems to be in a state of blade drawing.

'The kid!　Get on with it!

　The warwolf with his spear at the ready unleashed a full-throated thrust towards Frey.
　Without panicking at that, Frey threw down the great sword in his hand.
　The great sword that was thrown away was stored in 【Storage】, and from the tip of the hand that did it to his waist without pause, another weapon settled in his hand through a new 【Storage】.
　It's a samurai sword with a beautiful blade print shimmering. Frey pulled it out of its scabbard in one go and sliced the spear that the warwolf was holding in half from underneath.

''Nah!''
I'm not getting carried away.

　Frey's sword is swung down on the rear neck of the wide-eyed warwolf. For a moment I thought that his head fell off this time, but it seems that he instantly switched to the blade pull state. You're using your weapon well.........
　The warwolf who has let go of his consciousness falls to the ground.
　As it is, he stows his sword into 【Storage】 this time, grabbing the silver bow and arrows that jumped out of the air without replacing the sword, he quickly pulls it down and releases it onto the tree with a huff.

''Guhaha!''

　The dark elf that was on the tree falls headfirst. Is that........an arrow with 【Paralize】 granted? Does Frey even use a bow? Probably, or perhaps, it's definitely planted by Karina-san.
　Putting the bow away in 【Storage】 again, this time with the axe spear 《Halberd》, Frey went towards the centaur.

''What a way to use that 【Storage】....... Is it possible to get in and out that fast?''

　I'm dumbfounded by Frey's use of 【Storage】. 【Storage】 has a procedure for taking it in and out, and it shouldn't be able to be taken out that fast no matter how much.

''Because Frey-sama's weapon has 【Apports】 granted to it. It pops out from the weapon.
'Oh, I see. So that's how it was made. That was me in the future who made that weapon...

　As I was pouting, Kuhn, who was beside me, told me the secret.
　While talking, Kuhn is also using two magic guns (spellcasters), not two pistols, in his hand to shoot down the attacking harpies with electric shocks.
　Parla, who is beside him, also bounced around, numbing the satyr with her electrified claws. That guy is pretty good too........

''Restia style swordsmanship, one set, wind blade!
"Restia-style swordsmanship, five-style spiral!

　When I suddenly turned my gaze back to the front, I saw that Frey and Hilda's swords were about to explode into a large golem.
　The unleashed wind blade cut off the Golem's neck, and the spinning, desperate thrust opened a wind hole in its belly. Oh, a parent-daughter's first joint effort.
　Of course, Frey can use the Restia style sword technique too.

It's a beautiful taijiuji. It looks like you've been studying it properly.
'Ehehe, your mother complimented me!

　Although embarrassed, his hands never stopped, and each time Frey's sword flashes run, the bandits fall down. As if in a playful manner, they flicked, ducked, shot, and knocked down the opponents' swords.
　Wait, that's a huge hammer!

Boom!

　A golem with a super-heavy weapon slammed into his gut is blasted to the walls of the fort and broken apart.
　It's not. I was sure that 【Gravity】 was given to the weapons, so I thought that she was lightly using a large sword and other weapons, but that was different.
　That's 【Power Rise】. An attributeless magic that boosts the user's physical strength【Ryoiryoku】. So Frey has 【Storage】 and 【Power Rise】?
　It's true that his feelings may be knightly, but if you say that his fighting style is knightly....... What is the name of that weapon that looks like two short scimitars with a hilt together?

f*ck you!
Oops.

　I was in a daze and got cut down by a war tiger thug. Oh no, no, we're in the middle of a battle. I jumped backwards with my sword and ducked, then shot a paralyzing bullet with the pulled out Brunhild.

''Gafu!

　With a blow, the warwolf fell to the spot, sticking out his tongue. What's that, and the bandits are halfway down?　Mostly I haven't messed with it.
　I'm not going to let your wife and daughter fight and I'm not going to be on the high horse or anything. Okay, dad, let's go for it too.
　And just as I was thinking that, a boarding golem with a big axe in each hand appeared, smashing through the walls of the fort. For a moment, I thought it was a Flame Gear pacifier robot, an iron machine soldier, but it's better than that.

'Who are you people!　Are you the Hand of the Demon King?!

　Riding bare on a headless boarding golem was a pale skinned, red-eyed man. A vampire.........?　Could it be that this guy is the head?

''It has nothing to do with the Demon King, but don't worry, the Demon King will be here soon.

　I told them about this place in the [Gate Mirror] before we properly attacked them. We can't just go on a domestic rampage on our own. I received a reply that we'll be heading out with a strike team right away, but I think we can probably end this alone. We've got permission to take out the bandits, so there should be no problem for us to eradicate them.

'You!　Not by a bunch of kids like you!

　I wonder if Hilda and I are included in the "kids" category. I'm married, and I have a child here, too. I'm from the future, though.
　Well, for a vampire, Hilda and I must be kids.
　Zsin Zsin, Golem makes an earth-shaking sound and comes charging towards you while swinging an axe. It's too late.

''Restia-style swordsmanship, three-style, zan-iron!

　Hilda's sword jumped into the air and slashed the arm of the vampire's passenger, Golem, off his elbow. The thick right arm holding the axe fell to the ground with a thud.

''Nah!''

　In front of the startled vampire man, Frey stands in front of him, wielding a huge assault spear, the Lance.

''Teeeee.''

　In the manner of a spear thrower, Frey released the assault spear 《Lance》 with all his strength. That, I don't think that's how to use it.......
　The thrown assault spear 《Lance》 stabbed into the belly of the boarding type Golem, and the vampire man who was riding it was blown to the ground.

''Guh........!
Yes, thank you.
Guh!

　To the vampire man who tried to stand up, Kuhn's magic gun 《spellcaster》 mercilessly delivered an electric shock to the vampire man. The vampire man fell to the ground with a snap. Hey, I didn't do anything........

''Bob, the boss has been killed!
Run!
I can't let you go.
I can't let you go.

　One by one, Frey and Hilda took down the bandits who were fleeing after their heads were hit, one by one.
　It didn't take long for the entire bandit group to get stuck.




''Duke Brunhild. I am truly grateful for your help.''
No, I apologize for my own behavior.

　The Demon King came with his army. The king of the Demon King, the king of the Demon Kingdom of Helgaia, is a Vampire Lord.
　The Vampire Lord, as the name suggests, is a vampire sovereign, a higher-ranking species of vampire that lived for more than a thousand years. It is said that the head of the bandit gang was also a vampire, but his rank is different.

You'll be able to find out more about the best way to get the most out of your newborn. I didn't expect him to be a thief.

　The Demon King sighs as he sees the boss of the bandit gang being taken away by soldiers. It's not like he can't go against the Vampire Lord because he's a vampire.
　It seems that the vampire here doesn't have the ability to enslave the person who sucked their blood, like in the movies or novels.

There are many kinds of demons. Many of them were mistreated by humans in the past. That's why some of them don't want to interact with humans. There are those who want us to attack and destroy them. Especially the old ones. He's one of them. It's fine for him to hate humans. But I won't allow him to hate humans and turn his hatred on his own people.

　Oh well. It doesn't matter to the people in the village, you know. It's nothing more than blackmail, "We're trying to fight humans for you. So give us money and food' is nothing more than blackmail.

'Is it still difficult for Helgaia to join the alliance?
No, they've been in contact with Egret, and they're ready to join the alliance. There are still a few who are not ready to join us, but I'm sure they will give in soon.

　That's good to hear. It would be a great help to us if you would join the Alliance. A step in the right direction.

Anyway, is this boy a relative of your wife's?

　The Demon King compared Hilda and Frey and uttered that. Well, they're so similar. Normally, you'd think they were sisters or relatives.

''Well, well, that's about it.''

　I can't explain in detail, so I answered that anyway.
　'No, it's not, it's my daughter,' says Kuhn, covering Frey's mouth with his hand as he almost refutes her. Nice.
　Anyway, the bandits have all been captured and handed over to Helgaia. I heard there would be a reward, but I declined to apply it to the reconstruction of the village that was attacked. In exchange, though, I got some parts that I could use in the bandits' broken golems.
　We returned to Brunhild, looking forward to the news from Helgaia that we would be joining the alliance at some point.


　　　　　　　　　　◇ ◇ ◇


'It's delicious!　I knew your mother Lou's cooking was the best!
You're a good boy!

　In the dining room of Babylon's City Wall, a smiling Lou pats Frey's head as he munches on a homemade omelet of rice. You eat so well. The way he eats is similar to Yae. Do we resemble each other in some way when we live together?

"Mm.......... I envy Lord Hilda, that I do........
'Yae is still good. My daughter is already in our time. It's extravagant.

　Else's mouth twitched in an octogenarian blur. This is the only thing. Is there some law in the order that only the elder group appears?

'No, it's not like there's much point in coming and not seeing him. All I can do is worry first...
'Huh?　You haven't come yet, big sister Yakumo?

　Frey asks as he mugs his omelet.
　When I explain that he's here, but he's apparently traveling around the world, calling it sword training, Frey lets out a big sigh.

It's like being a big sister. But you should come over here once and say hello before you go. She's just a no-nonsense big sister. Lou mom, another one!

　Frey was a little angry, but he didn't stop eating his omelet and easily ate it up and asked for more. We're eating the same omelet too, but at a much faster rate. It's not the Yaeyama kids, is it?

Speaking of which, how old is Frey?
Hmm?　I'm eleven. I'm the same as big sister Yakumo!

　Frey answered Linse's question by wiping his mouth with a napkin.
　Are you the same age as Yakumo? Does that mean that Yakumo was born before you for a few months?
　I knew that was a possibility as long as he had multiple wives....
　Yae and Hilda giving birth in the same year? That sounds tough.........
　Yumina speaks to me, who had been tripping my consciousness to the future for a while.

By the way, Fuyao-san. How will you explain Frey-chan and Koon-chan to the people in the castle?
Oh, that. What to do...

　In fact, he hadn't properly introduced Kuhn and the others to everyone in the castle yet.
　Although Kuhn had visited the castle town, he had spent most of his time in Babylon from the first day, and Frey was brought to Babylon 《here》 first.
　Given her age, I thought she'd go with my sister or something, but....

''They'll know, right?''
We'll find out...

　Look at Hilda and Frey, Leanne and Kuhn, and you can see that they are definitely related. If anything, it's more plausible to say that she's that person's sister.
　But aside from Lean, Hilda is a former princess of Restia. Speaking of her sister, since when did His Majesty the First King of Restia have a second princess?　It would be.
　Worst of all, His Majesty King Restia the First has an illegitimate child!　What a scandal it could become.

''I guess we'll just have to cover it up with a magic tool that grants [Mirage] after all.
''That's right. I thought that if we called them Fuyao-san's 'relatives', they would be convinced by a certain amount of hijinks.

　Hmm?　What's the matter with you, ma'am?　 That's a messed-up version of your children, too.
　.........well, that's fine. It's good that Kuhn can use 【Mirage】 by himself, so I give Frey the star-shaped brooch for disguise that I used at the festival.
　Of course I've set it so that it won't have any effect on us. It's lonely living as a stranger girl in an illusion.
　After enjoying Lou's homemade omelette, Frey immediately said he wanted to go to the training grounds of the knights in the castle.
　It seems that Hilda's education is well done after all in this area.
　When I went down to the ground with Frey, who was wearing a badge, I found that our knights were busy training as usual in the training grounds. Of course, the one instructing them is the Sword God, Morobane Sister.

'Oro?　My brother, that is.
What?

　Yae, who was following Hilda and the others, let out such a voice. When I looked, I saw Yae's brother, Shigetaro-san, who was among the men of the Knights, holding a wooden sword and fighting with Morobane sister.
　Yae's brother, Shigetaro-san, is currently staying in Brunhild with his fiancée, Ayane, for sword training. Oh, and he's receiving instruction from Sister Morobane almost every day.
　Somehow, looking at Shigetaro, it makes sense that Yakumo doesn't come back from his training... The swordsmanship fool is the blood of the Kokonoe family....... Ah, defeated.

''Hey, everyone's together. Hm?　Is that ... are you Frey from Hilda's place, by any chance?　You came this way.

　Even though she's wearing a badge for disguise, Morobane sister easily discovers the identity of the badge. I knew you wouldn't be able to do that for the gods.

''Ehehe. I'm here, Morohara-chan.
A double-edged sister?

　Frey's words stuck with me a bit. Who's your sister?　From the standpoint, it should be 'Morohana Aunt'.

It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing. That's why we also call her Morobane aunt sister Morobane," she said.

　It's your sister Hanakoi's fault. Don't get hung up on the weirdest parts........ We're both gods, so we're not going to get any older, not really.......no, maybe it's because we don't get older that we're afraid of being called 'aunt'. I'm actually an 'aunt'.

''I'd like to be included in the training too!　I want to play a match with your mother!　Father, all right!

　Frey turns his gaze towards me with a twinkle in his eye. No, I wonder if that's okay........ When I glance at Hilda, she also gives a small nod.
　Why is it that Alice at Ende's place, and this girl, why does she want to fight her parents so much.......

''Since it's training with a wooden sword, you can't use [Storage] to change weapons, right?
That's okay. We have plenty of weapons for a proper match. Here!

　Frey gave a swing of his arm and a large spear with a rubbery tip appeared in his hand. I see. So you're practicing that fighting style using this kind of training weapon?

Then is it safe........ Ah, but don't do anything dangerous, okay?
It's okay. All right, let's do it!

　With an elongated voice, Frey leapt over the fence of the training ground with a whimper and headed down to Sister Morobane's side.
　Hilda also took the wooden sword from one of the knights and headed towards Morobane sister as well.
　Shigetaro, who had fallen, stood up and came toward us so as not to interfere with their match. Huh?　Frey has something to say to you.
　Shigetaro-san walked over to me and Yae, twisting his head.

''What's going on?''
No...... Have we met that girl before...?　"Watch me, Uncle Shigetaro! And I was told by name.

　Shigetaro twists his head again, as if he's trying to remember.
　Ah, I see. I'm not sure if it's the same mother as Hilda, Yae's brother, so Shigetaro-san is also 'Uncle Shigetaro' to Frey.

"Uncle......... Uncle.......... I'm only twenty-three years old......... Do I look that old........?

　Maybe it was a shock to him to be called an uncle, or maybe Shigetaro-san is somewhat depressed. I know how you feel.

"You shouldn't worry about small things, that you shouldn't, that you shouldn't. You're going to go bald, that I am.
'Ha, balding!　No, I'm not balding yet!

　With Yae's tsukomi, we managed to make the story go away. It's okay if you're bald, Shigetaro. There's a good hair-growing potion in Babylon.

　While we were joking around, the mother-daughter game began.
