After digging the tunnels requested by Gandiris, the Steel Nation, we returned to Brunhild.
　However, Kuhn, the Doctor, Engineer Elka, and Professor Professor Professor remain in the underground city of Agartha to analyze the Gigantes.
　Some of Gandiris's golem engineers also gathered in the underground city, and you were surprised to see two of the five greatest golem engineers, the five greatest meisters.

''Oh dear, it was a terrible experience...''
Thank you for your help.

　As I leaned back on the couch in the living room to decompress, Yumina made me a cup of tea.
　The kids went to the playroom to play against each other in the frame unit, probably inspired by the Gigantes fight.
　Else, Hilda, and Yae went with them, so they should be fine. And Ende followed along with Alice.

''It's been a while since we've been apart, but the kids have gotten together a lot.

　Grandma Tokie was smiling on the sofa as she slowly drank it when she was served tea by Yumina as well.
　Grandma Tokie seemed to have been in the direction of the divine world for a while. Normally she was the one who should be repairing the boundaries of this world, but I wondered if something was wrong.

I'm sure there are two more people who didn't come. A son with Yumina and a daughter with Sue.
'That's the thing, though. It's getting a bit messy.

　Grandma Tokie smiled wryly and placed the teacup on the table.
　Troublesome?　You don't think... you can't send me back to the future?

Oh, it's not like that. It's not a problem if we send them back to the future. We can send them safely back to the time line they came from. However, it's just a matter of time on our end, and we'd appreciate it if you could stay here for a little while longer.
"Circumstances?
'I'm sorry. I can't tell you right now. I'll look into it some more and talk to you later when I'm sure.

　With a troubled look on her face, Grandma Tokie put her mouth on the teacup again. Mmmm, I have a feeling we're in some trouble again.... I don't want anything else to happen, even if it's just the "Messenger of the Evil One" is troublesome.
　As I was getting a bad premonition, the phone in my pocket announced a call.

It's from Zanuck. Isn't that unusual?

　Mr. Zanuck, the owner of the Fashion King Zanuck clothing store, made a wedding dress for our wedding and made a name for himself around the world. He immediately set up a wedding department and started selling his wedding dresses to royalty and aristocrats around the world, and they are selling like hotcakes.
　I was so busy that I hardly heard from him after the wedding. I wonder what happened?

Yes, hello?
"Hello, Your Majesty. Is this His Majesty the King? 'Yes, I'm afraid so, eh?　Can you take over?　But ... oh, yes, please don't be rude to me, okay?　Excuse me, I'll give you a second.

　It looks like she's talking to someone else on the other end of the line. I'm talking to who?

"Hello. I got your call. This is, uh, Kyuoto Mochizuki. Do you know who I am?
What?

　Instead of Zanuck, I heard the voice of a boy who hadn't even changed his voice. Kuon?　Did you say Mochizuki Kuon!

"Uh, do you hear me?
'Oh, yes!　I can hear you!　Umm, is it really Kuon........?
"Yes, sir. Definitely. I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Zanuck at Regulus and he called me. Mine is a bit ... well, I've lost it.

　This is Kudo.... My son?　I'm talking in a very mature way........
　When I wasn't sure whether I should be happy that I'm a bright kid or lamenting that I'm not acting like a child, Yumina, who was next to me, forcefully snatched my phone from me.

''Mo, hello!　Kuon, Kuon?　Your mother!　Do you understand?!

　Ehh..... Hey, Yumina, isn't that possible?　I was the one talking....
　I try to get the phone back from Yumina, but I get a clever defense from her. 'I'm not playing basketball,' she says.

'Yeah, yeah. I understand. Please stay there!　Don't move!

　When she said that, Yumina mercilessly cut off the call on her phone. Wait, why are you hanging up!

'Mr. Wintery Night!　The Imperial City of Regulus!　In front of the Central District's rideshare station!　Let's go get him right away!
'What?　Oh, well, it's faster that way...

　We don't have to call, we can talk to him in person. As long as you know where it is, you can jump with transfer magic.
　I look at Grandma Tokie and she gives a small nod. Alright, let's go pick up my only son then.

[Gate]

　As soon as the door to the 【gate】 opened, Yumina jumped in there faster than I did. Eh, hey Yumina-san, aren't you in too much of a hurry?
　I asked everyone who stayed in the room to follow me through the gate, and I went out to the back alley close to the front of the rickshaw station, which I had visited several times before.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find the best way to get the most out of this article. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to find the right one.
　I'm not sure why, but next to him stood Zanuck and a merchant-like man with a face that looked very similar to Zanuck's.

'Ah, Your Majesty, Your Majesty the King. So you are here. So this child is really a relative of His Majesty's?
'Uh, yes. Well, yes.

　She vaguely replied to Zanak-san, and when she looked at Yumina again, she saw the boy in her embrace tapping Yumina's shoulder, his eyes black and white, as if he was in pain.

'Wait, Yumina!　Because Kuon is in pain!　Let me go once!
'What?　Oh, oh, I'm sorry!　I didn't want to...!

　Released from Yumina, Kuon exhaled heavily and breathed. I don't know how hard he was hugging her.
　He's a little short for a six-year-old boy, I guess. He looks slender. She has the same golden hair as Yumina's, tied back, and if you look at her a bit, she doesn't look like a girl.
　I'm going to be able to see that the kuon is turning his gaze towards me. The eyes are black like mine.

''For the time being, is it okay to talk with Brunhild?　I'm not comfortable talking about it here.
'Oh, oh.... Yeah, yeah. Okay.

　I thanked Mr. Zanuck for his help and he introduced me to his brother in the process. He said his name was Mr. Barrack. It was no wonder I thought he looked like him.
　He seems to be the branch manager of "Fashion King Zanuck" in Regulus. So you have a younger brother. I thanked his brother for his help and he thanked me in return. I heard that KUON rescued him when he was about to be cheated by a scammer. Seriously......... You're so solid........

If you want to go back to Brunhild, I'll send you back, but........
'Oh, no, don't worry about it. We have a few towns to stop in on the way...

　Mr. Zanuck also wanted to send it to Brunhild, but he refused. If it's business, I guess it can't be helped.
　In the Eastern Continent, carriages are still the main form of transportation. I'm sure it will be easier if a magic train opens up between Brunhild and Regulus.

''Fuyao-san!　Quickly!

　Youmina calls me impatiently as she pulls away from Hisato's hand. When I looked at it, I saw that Hisato was holding a small sword in the opposite hand of the hand he was connecting to Yumina. Is Kuon going to use the sword?
　After thanking Zanak-san and his brother once more, we returned to Brunhild from the back alley again.


　　　　　　　　　　◇ ◇ ◇


Hello again, my name is Kyuon Mochizuki. I've never met you before in our time, but it's nice to meet you, father and mother.
'Oh, ah, yes...'
'Um, I can be a little more shattered, can't I?　We're father and son....

　Even Yumina, as expected from a stiff greeting, was confused. Is it a serious guy?

'No, don't worry about it. I'm usually like this. I'm the one who's shattered enough, you know?

　Kuon says so, but he doesn't look very shattered. It's a businessman in a bad way. Boys were more noisy and uncomfortable, though.
　Sitting on the living room sofa, Hisato took out a paper-wrapped box from the backpack he was carrying.
　He placed it on the table and quickly held it out to us. Huh?　What is this?

This is a souvenir. This is from a shop that Mr. Barak recommended, famous for its cookies. I hope they will be to your taste.
Wait a minute, are you really a six-year-old?

　What's with all that thoughtfulness, even preparing a gift for your parents!　What a good son!　

''Huh........ She's a very polite girl........
'Is he really younger than my Linne........'

　Such a voice comes flying in from Lou and Linse, who have been spying on us.
　Maybe she heard that voice, but Yumina next to her looked extremely happy. Yes, I understand how you feel, but I don't think you should be too crabby, you know?
　Then we talked about where Kuon had shown up and how he got here. I knew he had lost his phone, too.
　In the snow in Elfrau. Well, there's no way to find it, right?

''Then using the granted 【Apports】 and 【Teleport】 magic, I summoned Kuon's phone.......

　I opened the list of registered owners from my phone, but then I realized.....
　..................Huh?　Which is the serial number on Hisen's phone?　I mean, it wouldn't have registered!　It hasn't been made yet!
　That means I'll have to go looking for it directly.... No, if we use [Search], we'll be able to find her at once, though.

''Fuyao-san?''
''No, it's nothing. I'm just going to pick up Kuon's phone for a moment...
I'm sorry, Father.

　My son, you apologized to me. Hmmm, that's the politeness that makes me wonder if he's really my son. On the other hand, it's also a bit distant. Like Yumina said, you could be more crushed.
　It may not be childlike, but I suppose it's also her personality. I don't think that should be denied.
　At any rate, I transitioned to Elfrau after asking Kuon for the general location where I dropped my phone.

'Ugh, Sabbu!

　I cowered at the expanse of snow and the cold. Let's just find it and go home.
　Activate 【Search】. Let's see........it's pretty far away.
　Flying over the snow with 【Fly】, I melted the snow at the place where 【Search】 reacted and immediately found Kuon's phone.
　The melted snow has soaked me up, but this phone with 【Protection】 on it won't be broken by water so easily.

Okay, collection complete. Let's get back quickly.

　When he returned to the castle's living room after the transition, the children who had returned from the playroom were gathered around Kuon in a huddle.

''Kuon, oh no!　What were you doing!
Well, various things... Oh, sister Lynne, here's a souvenir of Regulus' sweets.
'Wow!　Thank you!　Yummy!
'Kuon-chan, are you in trouble again?　You've got to be careful.
'No, not so much as involved.... Ah, this knife for sister Frey. It's a knife with a rather unusual design.
'....Wow, it's quite an anti-body knife for a Regulus made knife. Hmm, I've never seen one of those before. Thank you very much.

　Kuon handed out souvenir after souvenir to his sisters. It's not like he's familiar with them, or that he's taking them as a cue.

''Kuon, Kuon!　What about me?　What did you bring me?

　Alice is clinging stubbornly to the side of Hisato, who is sitting on the sofa. Well, I wonder if Alice likes Hisato.
　As I was remembering that, I was tapped on the shoulder with a pop. When I turned around, I saw Ende there, smiling but not smiling in his eyes.

''Fuyu........your son, don't you think you're a little too close to my daughter, Alice, don't you think......?

　No, no, no, no matter how you look at it, it's Alice who's stuck with it........ I don't know if you're saying that.

''I don't see Stef and Sister Coon........ Have they come yet?
Stef hasn't been able to make it yet, but Lady Coon has gone to Gandiris for a bit of wilderness work. I'm sure she'll be back in time for dinner.

　Arthia answers Kuon's question. Yakumo said he'd pick her up later. Until then, he would stick around and continue his analysis.
　When Arthia explained, Hisato picked up the small sword that was on the side.

''It's a pity. I had just the right souvenir for Sister Koon.''
'Hey, kid!　What do you mean by 'souvenirs'?

　Hmm!　What's that voice?　That sword?　Did the sword speak?
　As everyone stared at the sword that everyone else had also giggled and talked about, the sword that was still in its scabbard softly emerged.

I'm sorry I'm late to greet you. I'm a stingy sword called Silver. I'm not a nari, but I'd like to ask you to do something for me, Misses.

　The sword that dexterously lowers the handle head in the air with petticoat. But why is he talking like that Mishita........ It's just like being KUON's apprentice.......

"A talking sword is another unusual thing........ Is this a magic tool [artifact]?
''No, he's in this form but he's a golem, in case you were wondering. The correct name is 【Infinite Silver】. According to him, it's a work of that Crom Ranches.

　We are surprised by KUON's words in answer to Yakumo. Crom Ranches!　The ancient golem engineer who created the Crown series with Albus and the others!
　You mean that work.........no way.......

''The silver 'crown'........?
"Oh?　It's a nostalgic name, isn't it? There was a time when it was called that. However, I don't have the Crown Skill, so I don't know if I can call it a 'crown' or not.

　At my muttering, the sword named Silver moves its hilt head as if shaking its head to the right and left.

''Don't you have a [Crown Ability 《Crown Skill》]?
I've been researching to see if it's possible to activate the "Crown Skill" without "compensation". And in the process, I was able to make one.

　Come to think of it, Albus said something like that.
　Crom Ranches, who leapt beyond the boundaries of the world with the power of the "Black" and "White" crowns to the surface world 5,000 years ago, was about to return to the underworld to escape from Frase.
　But even if he could return to the Underworld if he paid the Price of the Black Crown, Crom would be too young and die.
　So they were going to make a crown that didn't require the "price".
　Well, in the end, before it was completed, the invasion of the Freys began, and Chromium seems to have lost all his memories by letting the 'white' crown run amok.

''Hmm?　Wait a minute. 'Crown' or not, Silver is a golem, right?　Do you have a master contract with Kuon by any chance?
"Perfect.
'What?　I don't remember doing that!

　Kuon's eyes widen in surprise at Silver's voice. Huh?　Isn't it?

I'm both a golem and a magical creature. If you've got the aptitude, you're automatically signed up with that thing.

　According to Silver's story, if the person who gets Silver has the aptitude to control it, the contract is automatically made.
　It's not just Silvers, it seems that most magical creatures called intelligence weapons are of that type. Is that the kind of thing that only the chosen one can control?
　Moreover, it is said that Silver's personality changes depending on the person with the aptitude.

It's a bit of a crazy guy who loves killing people more than three meals a day. The contracted person was affected by this and was a bit out of control.
Ah, so that's why you had such a 'colossal' personality when we first met. ........Oh, then your current personality is influenced by me.......?

　Hisuon makes a face as if he has bitten down on a bitter worm.

It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them. The most appropriate character for a little boy's partner, right?

　Once again, Kuon has a pained expression on his face. Hey son, what the hell did you do to this sword?
　........But if this is a silver crown, does that mean that the aircraft that the Messenger of the Evil One obtained and used as the key to the Ark is a gold crown?

"Silver, what do you know about the 'gold' crown?
Do you want money?　I don't know much about it because I'm a fixture in the lab. But, just like me, they were created based on magical creatures, and the golems and chrome ones leaked it.

　Magical creatures. Perhaps it was attractive material to Crom Ranches, who came from an underworld where magic had not yet developed. It's not strange to think of a hybrid with it.
　Speaking of magical creatures, golems, gargoyles, and mimics or something like that. Well, the golems themselves originally had a lot of similarities with golems. It may be compatible.

I'm not sure how well it performs as a weapon!　I'm more concerned about that one!

　Weapon enthusiast Frey gingerly approaches the wobbly floating Silver. It's not blurred.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. It's the ideal sword for everyone.
Yeah, I could do that with your father's sword (Brunhild).

　Frey, who listened with vigor, showed an expression of disappointment after hearing Silver's explanation. Well, it's because the function of 【Modeling】 has been given to it.

''Ki, it's possible to send a slash at opponents from a distance.......''
A long-range attack?　You can do your father's too, right?
Oh, you can paralyze him, you can't even move him!
'I can do that too, okay?　You know how you can put them to sleep or burn them if you change the ammunition that's attached to them?

　What else?　The wobbling and floating Silver sinks a little bit in Frey's eyes, "I'm sorry, but... It's a good thing that you're not the only one.

"I can talk...

　Yeah, that's something my Brunhild can't do either. Well, it's a common feature in the Golem of the ancient plane 《Legacy》, but...

''I don't know, but are you talking degraded Brunhild?
"Ughhhh?

　Yoshino, who had been twisting his neck, gives a painful opinion with Zuban, and Silver falls hecklingly. Just leave it there. You feel a little sorry for him....

''Well, well, Silver is Silver and it's a useful sword in its own right. It can be a bit annoying at times, but it's surprisingly useful, you know?
"Boy!　Don't you dare say a compliment or a disparaging word!

　Silver bites Kudo who says quite terrible things with a smile.
　It's quite harsh........ My son may have a surprisingly black part to him.

''He's just like Fuyao-sama.

　Let's pretend I didn't hear Lou's words as they flew in from behind me.
