'Ah!　I lost!

　Breathing hard, Frey sprawled out on the training ground in a large figure, raising his voice. Hilda's wooden sword was thrust at his throat.

''Hilda-dono is still better than you, that is.

　A slightly relieved Yae muttered. Well, you can't lose as a parent, can you?
　I mean, I have the power of the wedding ring I received from the World God, so I have the ability to be close to your subordinate gods, though. You can't be defeated by anyone other than the god race........

''But well........ How could you have this much?

　I was a little taken aback by the pile of weapons that I assumed were for Frey's training lying on the training ground.
　There must be close to a hundred wooden swords, wooden swords, tampo spears, and even a large wooden mallet, both out and out. Musashibo Benkei, huh?
　Frey's use of 【Storage】 is using the attraction by 【Apports】.
　The small crystal bodies in the palms of Frey's gauntlets and the grip of his weapons. These are given 【Apports】, including divine energy, and when magic power is passed through them, they attract each other like magnets for a moment. Due to this, Frey is instantly calling weapons from within 【Storage】 without the need for chanting by magic name, but I didn't know there were so many of them.
　The 【Storage】, as the name suggests, is like a warehouse, and if it's neatly organized, it's easy to take out what you want, but if it's jumbled up, sometimes you'll take out the wrong thing.
　Yeah, I sometimes make a mistake when I'm in a hurry. I'll try to sort it out sooner or later, but........well, it doesn't matter to me.
　In Frey's case, he must have organized which weapons are in where in his head. Do you have a number for it?　Or is it by type?
　I wonder how many weapons are in it. This kid is taking it out of the situation and taking out exactly the right weapon. This is an amazing thing.
　Frey took out various weapons one after another to challenge Hilda, but Hilda carefully handled them one by one.
　From the looks of it, Frey is proficient with all of the weapons in one way or another, but his proficiency level does not seem to be that great. Maybe it can't be helped, though, since his fighting style is like that.
　It's not a specialized type, but it's an all-around good one. I think one of the 'strengths' is the ability to fight flexibly in response to various situations.

''After all, your mother is strong after all!
'Frey is strong, too. You can be proud of yourself. That's my daughter!
'Ehehe. It's not so much!

　Hilda took Fray's hand and made him stand up, and Fray hugged her as he did. Hm, it seems we've become much more relaxed.

''This, Your Majesty the King........ Who is that girl?
Oh, you're related to me?　Something like that.
Your relative..... I see, that's why....

　Shigetaro, who had been horrified by Frey's abilities, was easily convinced. Hmmm. Let's not think about it too much. I'm bald.

You're quite good. The way you fight is interesting. How many weapons do you have in your arsenal?
'There are many more weapons that your father made for me! I went to the dungeons and ruins and got a lot of them. The ones that aren't suitable for fighting are on display in my room.

　Frey answers that question from Morobane Sis. A room decorated with weapons........ What about a room for a young girl of her age, you know.....
　Probably the weapons that aren't suitable for fighting are the gleaming decorated ceremonial swords and other less durable weapons.

''That's right!　Father! Father!　I've got somewhere to go!
Father?

　Shouting, Frey comes over to me. Shigetaro-san is giving me a quizzical look, but let's go through with it.
　Where do you want to go?　It was Babylon at Kuhn's time, but is it some kind of weapons store?　Oh, maybe the dwarves' forge workshop?


　　　　　　　　　　◇ ◇ ◇


'It's great!　It's a hammer that shoots lightning bolts!　It's a cool design too!
'Oh!　You know what I mean?　You're quite a sight!

　A girl and a macho man, their eyes twinkling as they look at the weapons displayed in the room.
　Whoever it is, it's my daughter who has just come from the future and His Majesty the King of Felsen, the magical kingdom.
　It is here, in His Majesty King Felsen's weapons collection room, that Frey asked to be taken to.
　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to get your hands on them.
　I didn't expect you to want to go to a place like this....

This is the magic sword that is said to have been used by the tyrant LASTRY!　Oh, is this scar by any chance!
'Ugh, I never thought I'd notice that wound!　Yes!　That wound was made by this holy sword Falusius, which once belonged to the wise emperor Falus!　What do you think, isn't it great!
'It's great!　They have the magic sword and the holy sword!　I'm so impressed!

　There's something about them getting along so well.... A little girl and her macho father excitedly discussing weapons is quite surreal.

Did I make a mistake in my education?
No, well.... I think life is boring without at least one hobby, so it's fine.

　To Hilda, who looks at Frey with a very complicated face, I send words that are not even comforting.
　Well, it's true that my daughter is a weapons enthusiast, but I'm not sure what to think about it.

''I've never seen a girl who can talk to that man so well. I got so excited about it.

　Elicia-san, His Majesty King Felsen's fiancée, laughs happily.
　Elysia-san is the second princess of the Regulus Empire. She is Lou's second sister.
　The two of them have a wedding coming up in a few months. I heard that they are busy preparing for various things now, referring to our wedding.
　Come to think of it, Mr. Zanuck from Fashion King Zanuck said that he received an order for a wedding dress from the Felsen Kingdom.
　It seems that the wedding dress we all wore at our wedding became a hit in the town. And when they found out that it was made by Mr. Zanuck, they were inundated with orders from noblemen.
　With this, Mr. Zanuck set up a wedding dress division right away and is now very busy. I'm glad to hear that business is booming.

'I understand you are a relative of His Majesty?　If that's the case, then we must be distant relatives.
''Ha......... Well, I guess that's what it comes down to........

　I could only return a drawn-out smile at Elysia-san's words.
　As a sister to Lou, Elysia is my sister-in-law. That means she's not just a distant relative, she's Frey's aunt without blood ties.
　I'm not sure how complicated this part is.... I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.

By the way, Your Majesty. New World the Golem of the Western Continent, can't we manufacture it here?
'Gholem?　I think it's possible to make a factory that doesn't have any abilities, but I don't think it's possible to make a G-Cube to power it, or a Q-Crystal to power its brain, just yet. And it would require a lot of skill and rare metals to make them.

　The Q Crystal is especially difficult. In other words, that's a chunk of Golem's behavioral program. According to the doctor, the behavioral principles that form the "base" of the program are first carved into it using engraving magic, and from there it branches off into different types. This is the personality of the golems, or simply put, their personality.
　And since these are the assets of each country's factory, they are not so easily disclosed to the public. I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do that.

I'm sorry..... It's a shame........

　Well, my dear sister-in-law Elysia has fallen into a depression.
　Oh, by the way, did this sister-in-law come to Felsen to study magic engineering? It was during that time that she was spotted by King Felsen.
　She was originally interested in magic tools 《artifacts》 and other things.

''Oh, but we do have Golem parts. I think there was a G-Cube and Q-Crystal as well, but...''
Oh, really?　Let me see it!

　Elysia-san, who had been depressed, came up to me with a different kind of twinkle in her eyes. Close, close, close. Close, sister-in-law.
　As expected, I can't let them out into the collection room here, so I move to the courtyard of Felsen Castle.
　In the open space, I took out the remnants of the golems held by the Helgaia bandits I defeated the other day from [Storage].

''Well, well, well!　Are these the parts of a golem?
'Yes, yes. Let's see........this. The equilateral cube that's housed in this chest is the G-cube. And this one here... the crystal with the grooves carved in the head is the Q-Crystal.

　I pried open the parts of the wreckage and pointed to the G-Cube and the Q-Crystal. Elysia-san was examining the surrounding structure with interest.

'The magic circuit came from here like this........ I see. Huh?　But if you interfere with the etheric line over here, this place won't work...

　Muttering and muttering, Elysia-san was checking something about Golem's parts. There's something different in her eyes........

"Elysia is an excellent mage, you know. The magic train that was built in our home is also related to Elysia. The current Elysia is definitely one of the top five engineers in Felsen, you know?
'What?　Seriously........!

　King Felsen explained to me as I was slightly taken aback. I didn't know it was at that level. I was a bit surprised.
　As expected, I couldn't compare to Dr. Babylon or the ELCA engineers, but it was still amazing. It means that the Felsen Kingdom has acquired an irreplaceable person who is truly worthy of being a queen.

Sounds like a great conversation starter with Kuhn!

　Indeed. Frey was right, someone from the tech field would be a good match for Kuhn.

''Um, His Majesty the King!　
What?

　Elysia-san offers that with a devilish power.
　Hmm, since the fusion of the worlds, since the Kingdom of Leafreth and the Kingdom of Panacheth have become connected to the ground, golem technology and other technologies have begun to flow out of the former underworld to the former surface world.
　The western countries of the Eastern Continent, such as Liefreth, Belfast, Linier, and Paloof, are easily able to benefit from this, but it's difficult to do so in the eastern countries where Felsen is located. It's not hard to understand why Elysia-san would want that.
　It's a good thing that she's the one who made the thieves pay for it in the first place. It's not like it's an ancient aircraft, right?
　When I was thinking about it for a moment like that, perhaps thinking that I was reluctant, King Felsen also asked me to do something for him.

I've been thinking about it for a while now. I'll pay you well, and if you want, I can give you some of my collection.

　No, I don't need that.
　I thought, but behind me, Frey was looking at me with sparkling eyes. Huh?　You want it?　Ummmmm....

I understand. Then please give the boy something from your collection. I'll pay for it.
'Wow!　I did it!　Father, I love you!

　Frey hugs me. I wonder if this is sweet...?　I'm really not laughing at Ende's parental idiocy anymore.

''Father?''
Oh, don't worry about it.

　Hilda chuckled and waved to them as they tilted their heads.

'The sooner you decide to do that, the sooner you choose!
'Wait a minute!　The choice is mine!　Some things are absolutely non-negotiable!

　King Felsen hurriedly chases after Frey, who has started running towards the collection room again. They're so close.

''Ufufu. If we analyze this, we might be able to make a golem in Felsen. I'm looking forward to it!''

　This one was here, looking at the G-Cube and Q-Crystal that Elysia-san had removed with a smiling face. Let's keep it a secret that the future of the Felsen royal family was a bit uneasy.


　　　　　　　　　　◇ ◇ ◇


Hey, Frey, it's been a long time. How are you?
'I'm fine! I'm glad Alice is looking good too!

　Alice and Frey decide to high-five each other when they are reunited in the coffee shop, Parent.
　Kuhn, who was sitting with them, doesn't join them, but looks under the tablecloth.

'What are you doing?'　Coon?
No, no, no.
As you can imagine, the queens don't do that anymore.

　Alice knew the reason for Kuhn's actions, and she uttered that. Kuhn knows that, too. It was just in case.
　Satisfied that nothing had happened, Kuhn sat back in his chair and sipped the tea that was on the table.
　But his gaze is directed at the warped black dagger on the table.

''........So, sister Frey?　What is that freaky thing?
'I'm glad you listened to me!　It's called the Exorcism Sword 'Shadow Wedge', and it's a magic sword used by Medius, a righteous bandit in the Regulus Empire two hundred years ago!
This is some weird weapon...

　Kuhn looks at his sister with cold eyes as she starts to explain with high tension. This sister has a keen eye for unusual weapons and armor. More than once, she had picked up a cursed weapon on Dungeon Island.
　Normally she is a cheerful and righteous sister, but when it comes to unusual weapons and armor, she instantly becomes a clunker.
　Kuhn is the same way when it comes to magic tools, so he can't say much about others. This is the kind of thing that made us sisters alike.

'The hilt and sword blade are all black, aren't they?　I'm sensing some strange magic, do you have any unusual abilities?
'Exactly!　This shadow wedge has some unusual properties!　Watch me!

　As he replied to Alice, Frey thrust his jet black knife into the table without hesitation.
　It was indeed a table in a shop. This made the other two people panicked as well. What would they do if they were banned? It would be a shame if they couldn't eat the sweets in Parento.
　But the jet-black tip of the blade protruded from a different place on the table than where it was propped up. The shadow of Frey's left hand is straddled between them.
　The knife that was thrust into the elbow portion of the shadow of his left hand is protruding from the tips of the shadow's fingers.

''Is this........transference magic?''
'That's right!　The Shadow Wedge can reach its cutting edge anywhere in the same shadow. There are some minor conditions like range and the fact that you have to be able to see it yourself.

　Kuhn quickly realized how terrifying the sword was. A sword that pierced through the shadows. If he didn't know about its ability, he could definitely catch them by surprise.
　If there was a shadow that led to the shadow of the opponent he was facing, he would even be able to attack his feet from there. It is a fearsome weapon suitable for assassination.

''Though big sister Yakumo uses a similar technique, but........''
That's not fair, is it? It's the kind of thing where you can use the "Gate" to transfer only the tip of your blade. Your sister Yakumo doesn't use it unless she's in an 'all-or-nothing' situation, though.

　Alice turns a disgusted look at the two of them. Yakumo, the two older sisters who were pointed at her, is basically serious and fair-minded, so she doesn't like such near-surprise techniques.
　However, just because she doesn't like them doesn't mean she won't use them. Both parents have been told to use it without hesitation when the time comes.
　It's fine to be fair, but don't make a mistake in the order in which you observe them.
　Don't put your little pride ahead of what you must protect.
　The same is true for Frey, and in the spirit of chivalry, he also uses warfare methods that can be called cowardly at times. Brunhild's chivalry is not about protecting one's pride.
　The topic of Yakumo came up, and Alice turned her gaze to Kuhn as if she remembered something, "Oh.

''Oh, by the way, Kuhn, big sister. The other day you were talking on the phone about the order of our arrival, what did you mean by that?
Yeah, that. It's just a theory. Remember when we got hit by the dimensional quake?
"I remember. As I recall, at that time, that thing's nuclear core went haywire...

　Frey turns his gaze into the air as if he were remembering. I won't forget that 'moment when time stopped'.

''Remember where we were at that time. Where was big sister Yakumo at that time?''
Well, you were with me, I think.

　Alice answers Kuhn's question.

'Remember exactly. Which one of you was in front of me?'
What?　I don't know which one is better........ 　I was about to jump forward at that moment...
So, you're not in front of your sister Yakumo?
'Before that, there was your sister Coon and your sister Frey. Remember?
'Ah!　By any chance...!

　Frey noticed and raised his voice loudly. Her sister gave a small nod in response.

''Yes. Alice, who was the furthest away from the "core", first came to the past 《here》 world. And Yakumo-sister, I, Frey-sister.
"...?　Oh, okay!　The dimensional quake occurred in order of distance from the Nuclear Core, which is where the dimensional quake occurred, and it's coming this way!

　Alice finally arrived at the correct answer and raised her voice as well.

'It's only a theory, so I don't know if it's correct or not.
So, whoever shows up next is going to be...

　Frey remembered the two people who were in front of him at that moment. Those two were almost in the same place. Or rather, I think they were attached to each other. Those two are the closest of sisters. It's not surprising since their mothers are sisters to each other.
　Kuhn remembered as well. The two sisters before them, Erna and Lynne.
