I didnât know what we were talking about, so I cast translation magic on him.
When I put my hand out, I turned my attention to it for a moment, but when Mel said it gently, he shook my hand.
â⊠it feels weird.â
It must have been the translation magic that had the effect of passing my hand. His words were clearly understood by us.
âDo you understand what weâre saying?â
âUm, um, I see. Who is that [you]?â Are you a squire of your sister? â
All of a sudden, Mel laughs at him in a daze.
âHal, this is Mochizuki Winter Night⊠the [King] of this country, our benefactorâ
âOh myâŠ! Oh, Iâm sorryâŠâ
The boy bowed his head slightly and apologizedâŠ. youâre quite honest. Is this really the âKingâ of Freys?
âSo, Hal, what the hell is this all about?â How did you end up like that? Why are you in this world? â
âThatâsâŠâ
It was Hal who tried to answer Melâs question quickly, but someone came to us from the entrance of the garden at that time.
âJust now. Wow, whatâs this wreckage?â Whatâs going on? Huh? Are youâŠ. â
The returning Ende glances at the wreckage of the gemstone Freys rolling into the garden and Hal taking Melâs hand.
ââŠâŠ you areâŠâŠâ
With a chilling voice from the bottom, Halâs hand, wobbling away from Mel, turned into a big red blade with a crystal armor. âEh, what is this disturbing airâŠ!â
Endemuon! Nice to meet you, sister!
Hal!
âHalâŠ? Are you⊠Hal!?â
Shaking Melâs words, Hal attacked Ende. The large blade swung down was swung over the head of the ende.
Ende wears it on a sheet of paper and instantly puts the crystal gauntlet I made on her arm.
âYou! Sister!â
âHey, wait a minute!â
Ende was playing the gauntlet well with the blade she was swinging down. Hmm, the boy is just swinging around. I saw that it was not as good as my arm. With Ende now, it would be easier to get rid of it.
âStop it, Hal! I will not allow you to harm the Endemuon!â
âSister! Sister is being fooled!â If it hadnât been for this, [Crystal Realm [Freisia]] would never have become a mess! â
Not following Melâs restraint, Hal pounds the blade against Ende.
The [Crystal Realm] [Freudia] is in a mess? Did something happen to Ende?
Hal kept attacking. I didnât think Ende was going to attack me. Halâs skill probably wonât hurt Ende.
That said, I canât just leave it there forever.
When I tried to enter into the arbitration between the two of them, there was a shadow that jumped in faster than that.
âââââHey!â
Geez! It was Alice with a crystal-armed gauntlet wrapped around her arm that picked up Halâs blade.
âWhat, are youâŠ!?â âThe ruling species other than your sistersâŠ?â Huh? What is this sound of lifeâŠ!? â
âI wonât let him bully you!â
âNo, that, Alice? I wasnât bulliedâŠâ
Alice rushed toward Hal in response to Ende, who spoke out loudly.
A vine of crystal roses sprang out of Aliceâs hand and bound Hal in an instant.
âAh, Alice! I canât waitâŠ!â
Resonance Plasma !
âAh!?â
It was Mel who came in to stop Alice, but it was a moment too late, Buddy! Then, a lightning bolt, like a lightning bolt, streamed through the crystal vine and into Halâs entire body.
Is that really the arrest technique Alice used? I think it was something similar to the [Paralyze] that I and I had for a long time.
When Hal was struck by an electric shock, he was still tangled in the vine of crystals, and lost consciousness.
Youâre gonna be okay, right? Itâs about Alice, so I want to make a mistake⊠I donât think thereâs anything wrong with it.
Nai, in a hurry, rushed toward Hal and put his hand on her chest.
â⊠Iâm fine. I think Iâm just temporarily dormant.â If this body is similar to Freys, butâŠ.. â
In response to Neyâs words, Ho, I stroke down everyoneâs chest.
â⊠ah? You canât defeat that child?â
âYou canât just knock it downâŠâ
Eternity answered with a bitter smile to Aliceâs words, who realized that she had made a mistake from the atmosphere around her.
âIâm surprisedâŠ. Is this child⊠really Hal?â You look completely different, but⊠â
âYes, but the sound of life is the same.â At least Iâm sure it has something to do with Hal⊠â
Mel answered Endeâs question as she peered at the fallen Hal.
You look different, donât you? If the Endes were the dominant species of Freys, they would have been born in adult form. In this case, âadultâ means âadultâ, so it seems that if you are young, you may be about fifteen years old.
Nay held up Hal with a small sigh.
âI donât know if this child is Hal-sama or not⊠but I need to hear the details anyway. Endemuon, donât come home until I hear from you.â
âHuh!? Why!?â
âWithout you, she wonât be able to talk properly.â Itâs going to be like that again. If this child is really Hal-sama, then you are a hateful villain who hated Mel-sama [Tabura]. â
I was shocked by what Nay said, but I was convinced that Hal was so angry for a reason.
I see, Ende took her precious sister away (?) Are you going to be a bad man?
âNay says itâs true.â
I see. Nay was poking at Ende too.
Ugh, donât bring up old stories!
When Lise and I nodded together, Nay yelled at us with her face bright red.
Why donât you give him a shot at Ende like you did then?
âââ
âFreys like a jewelâŠâ Iâm sorry, but I have no idea. â
Cologne threw jewels and Freys shards onto the table, and Ende drank an iced tea in a cup.
They kicked me out of my house.) I brought Ende to the tavern. Of course, Kuniu returned to the castle. Itâs already nightfall, and badly educated people are starting to gather here at The Tavern.
âTo be protected by them, she⊠had a nucleus of Hal.â Do you really have any idea? â
âI donât know. I donât know if sheâs Hal in the first place.â The Hal I know was a little bit younger than me. â
Even though there is no childhood in the ruling species of Freys, the appearance of the adults who are born is different.
It seems to be born at about 15 to 40 years of age. Is it possible to be 40 years younger than a teenager in appearanceâŠ? No, this longevity species is similar, and isnât that weird?
Hal⊠Melâs younger brother, who was the [King] of the [Crystal Realm] [Freddie], was a little younger than Ende.
So youâre about 15 or 16 years old? âNo, how old is Ende (this guy) in the first placeâŠ?â You look seventeen or eighteen, but youâre definitely older than me. The inhabitants of the other world are too old.
âWhen you make a child, the dominant species gets a duplicate of the opponentâs nucleus and fuses it with its own. They donât have the concept of marriage, so most of the dominant siblings are half-brothers. But in the case of Mel and Hal, itâs a little different.â
Freysâ âKingâ captures the ânucleusâ of other powerful people in order to create a strong next generation. In this way, it captures the strength of the opponent and creates an even stronger [king].
This is also the case with Mel, who was born between the âkingâ of his ancestors and the chosen powerful man.
âBut Hal was born as a dominant species separated from the [King].â
âHuh? Surely the dominant species can create the next generation of nuclei individually, but didnât you say that it would be like a degenerate replica of a parent?â
âThe next [king] was to be inherited by Mel.â Hal is sorry to say this, but he was a child made by the [king] of his predecessors to play. You can say that you were created as a servant of Mel who would never betray you. â
I was a little uncomfortable with the concept of a dominant species that treats children like objects, but that must have been normal on the other side.
âMel and Hal were close. My brother, Hal, respected Mel, and I think Mel loved him. Some time after Mel became the [King], I visited the [Crystal Realm] [Freisia], where I met Mel. When I first met her,ââââ it didnât matter right now.â
âWhat the hell, say it.â You guys must be familiar with it from the beginning. â
Ende twisted her face in disgust at me, urging her to continue.
âIâll tell Alice in the winter nights, and Iâll never tell her.â
âTsk.â
It seemed like an interesting story. Well, itâs honestly shameful that children donât know what theyâre used to at the beginning.
âIn my case, itâs even on stageâŠâ âI wonder if the performance is overâŠâ
âWell, thereâs a lot going on, and Hal hates me.â Itâs the same as when I was with Nay. â
âI donât know. The kidnapper who took care of my dear sister.â Thatâs why I hate you, too. â
âThe kidnapper⊠at least say he ran away.â And we persuaded him over and over again before he left the Crystal Realm [Freudia]. But neither Hal, nor Ney, nor you listened to me. â
Probably. A perfectly parallel line. âKingâ wants to live with the people of the âCrystal Realmâ who do not want to lose the âKingâ and the people they love. âI donât know whoâs to blameâŠâ
âSome people said it was irresponsible to release the [king], but Mel didnât become the [king] because he wanted to.â Does Mel have to give up his happiness for the sake of the selfish? Mel wanted to abandon the seat of the [King] and was also pessimistic about the future of the [Crystal Realm] [Freidia], which depended solely on herself. Thatâs why we made Hal the âkingâ she trusted the most, and we left the world behind. â
Iâm sure Ende has something to say about it, but I donât think the rest of us are left behind.
When I hear this, Takasaka-san often says, âWhatever your majesty does, itâs not good for the country.â
If you rely on individuals alone, if you have to disappear, the country will soon be disintegrated.
Even during the Warring States Period, many charismatic leaders such as Shingen Takeda, Nobunaga Oda, and Hideyoshi Toyotomi died and broke up.
Perhaps it would have been okay if the next successor had been a stone.
âI guess Mel left it to Hal to do it in timeâŠâ
âAs I said earlier, Hal is the dominant species created by the [King] alone.â Mel was much inferior in combat power to the one created by fusing with the mighty. Thatâs why some of the ruling species, such as Gila and her brother, General Zeno, did not recognize Hal. Theyâre the ones with all the power. Even so, some of the ruling species admitted that Hal was the [king] and said he would support themâŠ.. â
Some people, including Hal and Nay, were opposed to it until the end. If you want to say more, they even came out to the extremists who wanted to defeat Mel, the âkingâ, and steal his power. I guess Gila and General Zeno were at the helm.
Dangerously, Mel and Ende jumped out of the [Crystal Realm] [Freudia].
âAfter that, we donât know what happened to the [Crystal Realm [Freudia]].â Is he really Hal? what happened in the [Crystal Realm [Freudia]]âŠ.. â
Ende clapped a piece of gemstone Freys rolling on the table with her fingers and crushed it like she was thinking about it.
Iâm a little surprised by what a dazzling atmosphere Ende is.
â⊠perhaps because of you, you care about Halâs words that the [Crystal Realm [Freudia]] has become a mess?â Itâs a bit surprising that you had such a delicate heartâŠ.. â
ââŠâŠ! Unlike someone else, I have a lot of sensitivityâŠ!â I donât want to be told only on winter nights when all my wives say âdullâ! â
âAh!? You said what you had to say, Ende-kun!â Thatâs the end of it! â
Ah, itâs over!
Thatâs it
GahhhhâŠ! Your hands are already clenched between us. Lise stood with a dazed look on her face, wondering when she had arrived.
Donât openly sigh loudly.
âLise⊠whereâs Hal?â
âIâm asleep, maybe not a problem. But if Endemion is around, itâs going to be a hassle, so stay somewhere today, Mel.â
âYaa, Iâve been kicked outâŠâ
âGrrrrâŠ!â
When I made a fool of myself and provoked him, Endeâs face was like a bitter bite.
After all, we donât know anything until after Hal wakes up. Letâs just go home. [M]
It seems that Lise is taking Ende and dinner to the tavern. Hmm, thatâs why Lise came to Ende⊠well, thatâs fine.
âIâm tired of all the things Iâve done todayâŠâ
Anyway, that piece of gemstone Freys⊠what should I doâŠ? Letâs talk to your wives for now.
With that in mind, I left the bar and opened the [gate]. [M]
âââ
The next day, Mel and the others brought Hal to the castle. Hal is quite normal, unlike yesterday. Without Ende, is it supposed to be a calm personality?
Of course, that ende isnât here. I knew it would be troublesome, so it seemed to keep Hal away from me.
Alice, who came with Mel and the others, went to Yumina early to get a ladyâs education. I hear youâll learn eating manners today.
Meet Mel, Ney, and Lise in the reception room with Hal.
âWell, to put it plainly, it seems that this child is Hal, not HalâŠâ
âIâm sorry, itâs not easy to understand at allâŠâ
I put my eyebrows together and returned the words to Mel, who had spoken. I have no idea. âTell me from the beginningâŠâ
âIâve been talking to you since the beginningâŠâ
After Mel heard from Hal about the [Crystal Realm] [Freidia].
Hal, who became the âKingâ, tried desperately to support the country to fill Melâs pit.
However, those who leaked their dissatisfaction and those who did not recognize Hal, the ruling species born of isolation, as the âkingâ, said that the âCrystal Realm [Freidia]â became rough and rough. The Freys started to do what they liked.
An incident occurs when Hal struggles to contain the rebels.
It was Yura who gained the technology to cross the world.
Those who did not recognize Hal, those who sought Mel, or those who sought Melâs power disappeared from the [Crystal Realm [Freudia]].
According to Ney and Lise, there were quite a few dominant species when they left the âCrystal Realmâ [Freisia].
However, every time I crossed many [Another] worlds, it became a battle with the inhabitants of that world, and my companions gradually diminished.
âWell, we didnât think of each other as allies in the first place.â Itâs just that each purpose was the same thing to be used and used. â
Nayâs words remind me of the ruling species I once encountered. Gila the militant, Leto and Luto the hedonistic twins, and Yura who wanted more power than the [King].
Neither Ney nor Lise had any sense of fellowship at all. I donât feel like getting along with them either. [M]
The story got out of hand, but Yura and the rebels were gone, and [Crystal Realm [Freisia]] seemed to regain its composure.
However, with the departure of Yura and the others, the rebellious forces against the âKingâ disappeared, but the authority of the âKingâ in the âCrystal Realmâ [Freisia] fell to the ground.
He was seen as an incompetent [king] who could not put his majesty together.
Hal, who was tormented by the accusations around him, fell into the hands of the [king], his sister, Mel.
If you get the power like Mel, the [Crystal Realm [Freudia]] can be trapped under the [King] again. Thinking like that, Hal turned a blind eye to Yuraâs remaining research.
âThat is the mass production plan of the artificial freise called âQuarceâ.â Itâs a study to create a new Freys soldier with a completely different crystal evolution. â
If Melâs words were rephrased in global terms, would they be called âAndroid Soldier Mass Production Planâ?
Hal personally pursued the research and tried to obtain the same âpowerâ as the former âkingâ.
Although born in isolation, Hal is also a member of the [kingâs] clan. He was one of the best researchers, if not less than Yura.
Since Yura had already built the basic base, Hal said it was good to just improve it.
However, there was a serious problem with thisâ quarce â.
If [Quarth] is like an android, we will naturally need someone to use it. Just like Golemâs contractor, Master.
It was necessary to create a new dominant species that would lead them in order to follow Quarth.
There is a species with a new ânucleusâ that combines the ânucleusâ of the dominant species and the ânucleusâ of the âquotientâ.
âWait a minute. I canât believe [Hal] is thereâŠ..â
âYes, this child is a hybrid created by fusing Halâs duplicate ânucleusâ with the ânucleusâ of Quarth.â
