The Seven-colored Magic Eye?
''Yes. Both of my eyes contain the seven demonic eyes, and I can activate them at will.

　I was surprised to hear that story from Kuon. It was the first time I had ever heard of him having more than one magic eye. Moreover, seven of them?
　Normally, a demon's eye can be a different color from the eye it was originally meant to be in one eye or the other. There are some people like the Kunoichi Three Girls' Flame, who have the Distant View Magic Eye, where one of them is a little brown, and at a glance both eyes look the same, but in KUON's case, no matter how you look at it, both eyes are black.

"Can you try it out for a moment?
'Okay. Then could you use a small [light]?

　[Light]?　I'm not sure, but as I was told, I created a small magical light in the air.
　Kuon stared at that ball of light. As her eyes changed to a gold color with a light blue tint, the [Light] immediately disappeared. This is.........

''It's the 【Magic Eye of the Foggy Dipper】. It's a magic eye that can nullify magic. Although it is ineffective if you don't have visibility.

　Disabling magic. That's great. I guess it's like the absorption magic I use [Absorb]?

'That's great, Kuon!　What other magical eyes do you have!

　Yumina's tension is blowing up. She's happy that her son has inherited the same characteristics of having the same magical eye as her. I know what you're feeling, but calm down a bit, mother.
　Kuon explained to me the [Seven Colored Demon Eyes] were as follows.

■Green: Demon Eyes of Vassalage: Demon Eyes that follow animals and demonic beasts.
Yellow: Magical Eye of Fixation: the magical eye that stops the movement of objects.
Blue: Magic Eye of Eraser: Magic Eye that nullifies magic.
Magic Eye to read people's right and wrong.
Red : The Eye of Crushing Magic : Magic Eye that destroys matter
Orange : The Magic Eye of Foresight : The magic eye that sees the future.
The Magic Eye of Illusion: The magic eye that shows a vision.

　The Demon Eyes of Perception and the Demon Eyes of Foresight were undoubtedly inherited from Yumina.
　All of them seem to be useful, but they also have various limitations.
　For example, the 【Fixed Magic Eye】 is said to be released when you blink, and the 【Vassal Magic Eye】 doesn't work on humans, and is said to only work on one animal for 24 hours. Still, though, it must be a pretty useful ability.

''Can you use magic?''
''Only non-attribute magic. [Slip] and [Paralyze].

　Oops, this one looks like it's derived from a magic I use a lot. They're both useful, right?

'That's me and Fuyao's son!　Kuhu, I'll be a good boy and a good girl for you!
Well, mother, that's a bit embarrassing...

　Yumina, who sat next to Hisato, is holding her son in her arms and stroking his head. Hisato seems to be quite uncomfortable, but he did as he was made to do.

''You're delirious, that you are........
I've never seen Yumina like that before........

　I can hear Yae and Lou's voice saying, "I feel the same way. To the casual observer, I just look like 'an older sister who adores her younger brother'.

'But she's kind of uptight. It's nice to be polite, but wouldn't it be nice if boys were more energetic?　I wonder what kind of education Eumina had.
Mm. I don't mind. A prince of a country has to be polite, and his manners have to be graceful and resolute!　That's me!　Well educated!

　Yumina refuted Else's words. But this time, Arthia objected to that.

''No, since Mother Yumina was basically always busy running the state, Kuon's education was almost always done by someone else...''
　Who?!

　When Yumina and I cut back, the children's gazes are drawn to a single point. There was a white baby tiger lying on the sofa.

''Yes?''
Amber.
'Amber has been by Hisato's side since she was born. I learned the language from him, too.

　Oh, oh!　Well, it looks like that!　The way Amber speaks and the way Kuon speaks!　Oh well, I've learned to mimic the way Amber talks!
　According to Arthia's story, that's not all, but manners, learning education, how to fight, and even dancing, and how to behave as a prince were all drilled into him by Amber's guidance.

''Come to think of it, I heard that Ember was going to be Kuon's escort....... Was he not only an escort, but also an educator?''
'I see......... And if so, I'm proud of you. Should I commend my future self for a job well done?'
''Ugh..... What am I doing in the future........

　Contrary to the somewhat proud Amber, Yumina's shoulders slumped and depressed.

The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that it is a good idea to have a good time. I have great respect for your sincere attitude,
'Mr. Wintery Night!　My son is so cute!

　Yumina squeezed her again and began to stroke and caress her head. Don't do that, you might go bald.
　As I worried about my son's head, the door to the living room went bang!　It opened, and Yakumo, who had gone to pick her up from Kuhn and the underground city of Agartha, came in.

''Where is the silver 'crown'!

　Everyone looks disappointed at Kuhn's first words. First, turn your attention to your brother, who has finally arrived.
　Kuhn crashed his way over to Kuon and picked up the silver that had been placed beside him.

''Here it is!　I didn't expect the silver 'crown' to be an armed golem.
"Boy!　She's scary as hell!　Especially the eyes!　There's something in my eyes that scares me!'

　Silver is frightened when Coon grabs her. Coon, who is about to run straight to the lab right now, is stopped by his mother, Leanne.

Hey. First of all, you can say 'welcome back' to your brother. Besides, the sword is his. You don't need to do that. Aren't you ashamed to be a sister, taking something that belongs to your brother?
Ow!

　A chop from Lean falls on Coon's head. 'Yeah, you're going to be pissed off with your attitude now.

'Oh, um, I'm sorry.... Welcome back, Kuon. I'm glad you're okay. So, um, can I have a look at this sword?

　Kuhn, who was a bit shabby after being scolded by Lean, asks Kuhn apologetically if he still cares about Silver, and asks Kuhn if he still cares about Silver.

''You........''
'Don't mind me, Mother Lean. It's just that it happens to Sister Coon all the time. Besides, that sword was originally a gift for Sister Coon...
"Whoa!　Boy, boy, boy, boy!　We're all in the same boat, right?　I don't believe that little boy would do such a miserable thing as letting me go!　I don't trust you!
''Uh I was originally going to have Sister Coon look into it. ''Yes.''

　Wasn't I just going to say souvenirs?
　Perhaps the desperate pleading worked, but Kuon didn't seem to be giving Silver away. It seems to make them look into what they have to look into, though.

'Please don't break it, Sister Kuhn.
I don't. Even I know how valuable this is. As expected, I'll have Dr. [Analyze] check the details for you.

　Analysis Magic [Analyze], huh? I can use it too, but I don't have any knowledge of it, so I don't know what it is even if I look inside.
　I wonder if it's like getting a CT scan for Silver?

"There's nothing but anxiety...

　He's trembling, and Silver is letting out a bragging match in Coon's hand. 'You're a dexterous one.

'More than that!　I have to do something about Kuon's clothes!　We're going to go to Mr. Zanuck's with you now!
'What?　Can't I wear this dress?

　Hisato looked down at his clothes at Yumina's sudden statement. Well, maybe they were originally good clothes in their own right, but due to the long journey, they were a bit soggy in some ways. Maybe Yumina couldn't forgive her son for letting him wear such clothes.

Oh, well, I'll go too!　I'll pick out an outfit for you that looks good on Kuon!

　Alice raises her hand and offers to accompany Kuon and the others. Alisoo, shushou, shushou. Your dad looks like he's bitten down on a bitter bug.
　Kuon is smiling bitterly, too. This reaction from Ende is apparently a regular occurrence even in the future.

Oh, well, I'll go too. Elna, do you want to come with me?　I'll buy you some cute clothes.
'What?　I just got it for you the other day...

　Would you prefer Else's words to Elna's?　I gave her a look. Of all the kids, I think Elna is the one who gets the most clothes bought for her. Else buys them that this and that look good on them and are cute.
　It's true that they all looked good and cute, so for me, I'm not going to stop.
　Maybe Yumina is in the same situation. I'm sure she wants to dress her son in a variety of clothes. If that's the case, there's only one thing I can do.
　I opened the [gate] to the alleyway near Zanuck-san's shop.

''Go ahead. Amber and Yakumo will follow me. Please take care of me on the way back.
I understand.
Come on, Kuon, let's go!　I'm going out with my mom!

　Yumina pulls Kuon's hand and disappears into the 【Gate】. After that, Alice, Amber, Else, Erna, and Yakumo followed, and when Ende was about to pass through, he closed the 【Gate】.

''Hey!
If you go along with them, Kwon won't be able to choose. You should be more careful.
'Ugh!　I just want to buy Alice some clothes!　I won't be watching to make sure you don't make out with your son!

　I'm leaking my true feelings, mister.
　Ende jumped down from the balcony that led to the living room and went straight out.
　He's going to go to Zanuck-san's shop below the castle. His feet will get there in a few minutes. Sorry, Kuon. Her stupid father will go, but bear with me.

"I had no idea Ende was such an idiot. You must have the nerve to let your daughter have a boyfriend or two.

　When I let out such a murmur, a dumbfounded look came from around Frey, Kuhn and Arcea. What is it?

It's a boomerang to the core...
'That doesn't sound like a line from someone who's been staring at every boy who's made a pass at us.
Would you like me to record it for you?

　The kids are saying something, but I can't hear them, I can't hear them.

'By the way, Coon. Can we leave the steel that Gandiris gave us in the 'hangar'?

　I asked Coon, who was buzzing around Silver. Hey, stop swinging it around indoors, it's not safe. Look, Lean has beaten me again.
　The steel that was supposed to be given away cheaply to Gandiris was given away in exchange for the discovery of the underground city of Agartha and the transfer of Gigantes (I'll do a joint analysis, but I gave away the thing itself. It's no use getting a broken thing) by the condition that I got it for free. I thought about refraining from giving it away because of the quantity, but it was worth it, so I was grateful to receive it.

''Ugh..... Please keep it all in the hangar. The design is ready, so we can get it into production right away.

　Coon responds, holding his head as he gets chopped by Lean again.
　But the steel you got is a hell of a lot of steel, what are you going to make?　It's Alves overgeared, right?　Maybe build a few planes and merge them together like Gigantes?

''That's for you to enjoy when it's finished. Then I'll analyze the silver 'crown' for you, so here we go!

　With a whirr, Coon leaves like the wind. By the looks of it, it doesn't look like Albus' overgear is going to be produced any time soon........

''Totally restless......... I wish you would take a lesson from your brother. I'll rely on Amber to educate me when Kuhn is born........

　No, no, I think Kuon's case is a special case. And according to Grandma Tokie's story, it's useless because it seems that the future won't change due to the compulsion by the time spirit, so I think it's useless. However, this coercive power is also said to be no match for the power of a god.
　In other words, if the evil gods are involved, it's possible that the future will be changed as well. Of course I wouldn't let that happen.
　The fact that Grandma Tokie couldn't return the children to the future right away might mean that she would have to put the evil god problem away and lose her worries.

''Well!　Now that Kuon is here, let's make a big dinner tonight!　Mother, let's play a game to see who will please Kuon!
'You never learn, Aasiya.... You seem to have forgotten that you lost once.
''Hmmm, your mother doesn't know what Kuon likes, does she?　I've known her food preferences since she was born. I'll take it this time!
Mmm....

　Don't stare at each other, don't stare at each other. Arthia and Roo are buzzing with sparks as they bumble at each other, smiling wryly.

'Ah-chan is as cheating as ever...'

　With a sigh, I heard a dumbfounded Frey's voice.


　　　　　　　　　　◇ ◇ ◇


'Oh..... You look good, you look good. You look like a prince.
''Hmm. You'll look good no matter what you dress up in!　That's my son!
Haha.....

　Hisato gives a drawn-out smile to Yumina, who is flustered with a smug look on her face. Mother, your son is pulling away.
　It's not that I don't like the idea of it, I just like the idea of it. Ummm, even though my son is gallant... ha!　You can't say much about Yumina with this one.
　Of course, it wasn't just these clothes, though they seemed to have bought a pile of other things in paper bags as well.
　After that, the supper prepared by Aasia and Lou was put on the table as if it were still there. It seems that Aasia knew Hisato's food preferences, but after getting information from Yoshino and Linne, who had succumbed to the bribe (caught with sweets), Lou had made up a dish that was no less than that.

''Gunnu........ It's not fair!''

　Arthia complains. This girl.......... I don't know which mouth will say it.
　When the two of them pressed him as to which one was better, Kuon smiled back and said, ''They are both family flavors, so it's impossible to make a decision on which one is better. I wish you could teach your father that technique.....
　After eating a delicious meal, Hisato was about to be taken to the bath by Yumina, but as expected, she refused with all her might to get into it with her mother anymore, as if she was unwilling to do so.
　Instead, 'I'll sleep with you!' He was dragged into the bedroom, though. Well, Yumina had been looking forward to seeing Kuon all along. Son, you should at least go out with him.

It's a good idea. I can't wait to see Stef, too.

　Sue looks away enviously at Yumina and Kuon as she heads to her bedroom. The only one who hasn't arrived yet is Stefania, Su's daughter. I can't help but be jealous of Suu.
　I hug my little bride and comfort her.

''It's okay. Kuon is here, so Stef will be here soon too.'
.........mm. When he comes, he will be treated with all his might. We'll bathe together, play together, and sleep together.
Yeah. Let's lay down on the river, father and son.
Hmm.

　He's still a bit listless, but he seems to have calmed down a bit.
　Linne and Erna, who had been watching the situation, came to either side of Suu and held each of her hands.

''Suu-aka-san, I'll sleep with you today.
'Wow, me too. I want to sleep with Sue's mother...
'Hey, what's up, boys? I'm not lonely, Walla is not lonely!　.........kohon. But if you guys are going to go that far, I'll sleep with you.

　Else and Linse, who were watching, cowered their shoulders with a wry smile. With a smile on her face, Sue hugged Erna and Linne.
　I'm the lucky one with my sweet girls.


　　　　　　　　　　◇ ◇ ◇


　The next morning.
　Hisuon was immediately taken to the training grounds by Yae and Hilda and accompanied by Yae and Hilda for early morning training.
　It was a sword match that didn't use the magic eye, but they seemed to be quite strong. Yakumo, not quite as strong as Frey, but much stronger than those adventurers out there.
　According to Yakumo and the others who were observing with him, he was trained by Yae, Hilda and Morobane sister and others from a young age. No wonder.
　By the way, it seems that being used with the magic eye is troublesome even for Yakumo and Frey. It's because the Fixed Magical Eye makes them stop moving for a moment.
　Although it's called the 【Fixed Magic Eye】, it doesn't mean that it can't be stopped completely, and apparently if you put all your strength into it, it's not impossible for you to move (although apparently it's almost impossible for an ordinary person to do so). He said that it can be erased as long as you make it blink, so in that case he'd aim for the eyes, but what kind of training did you guys have.......

''Kuon!　They're here!

　Shouting loudly, Alice came from across the training field. She's fine since this morning........ Hmm?　Alice's mother and three others are coming behind them. Mel, Ney and Lise, the three Freys' dominant species.
　While Alice is on her way to Hisato's place, the three of them come to me.

I'm not sure what's going on with the three of you.　Where's Ende?
'Endemuon is working with the guild today. We've come to see Alice's obsessed lord.
Even if he's your son, I can't give Alice away as a wife to some strange person.
I'll check. This is important.

　Oh, you're here to do some assessments?　It's not only my father 《Ende》, but also my mother 《Here》 is overprotective.......
　I wonder if my thoughts have shown on my face, and Mel chuckles at that.

''I wouldn't have any objections if Alice had chosen it, right?　But since he could be your future son-in-law, you'd want to see him, wouldn't you?
Well, I know how you feel.

　Mel and the others turn their attention to Kuon, who is fighting Yae on the training ground.
　Kudo and Alice are married, huh.... That's in the future. How many years away is that?
　But then, in that case, will Alice be the queen of Brunhild in the future?　...is that better?
　Wouldn't it be better to let them educate the ladies with our girls?　And I was thinking about the future.
