Arc 24: The King is Busy in Many Ways

Chapter 235: The Kings Children, and the Analysis

Id told everyone about myself before coming to this world.

About living in a country called Japan on Earth, about being a student, and about how its impossible to return to that world anymore.

It seemed that because of what happened with the Frazes, everyone was able to understand somehow about the existence of [Different worlds] that were different from their own.

So thats how it was. I had a hunch that Touya-san was outside the norm(Yumina)

For you to come from a different world, I couldve never Im surprised(Yae)

Yumina and Yae took a big breath and expressed their surprise.

Rather, does it mean that Karen-san and Moroha-san are(Linzie)

Yeah, they arent my sisters by blood. However, theres no mistake that theyre my family here. Though honestly speaking, there are still others whom I regard the same(Touya)

I honestly answered Linzies question. There seemed to be a lot of gods who could be counted as my relatives after I had awakened my divine power and become someone whos somewhat a dependant of Kami-sama.

For the time being, I will hide the matters about Kami-sama and about my sisters being low-class gods. The gods may be troubled if they get relied on, and that information is private, to begin with. Lets talk about this after getting their permission.

Though I was more anxious about them believing the matters about the gods rather than the matter about different worlds or some similar. As I saw during the case with Her Eminence the Pope, it wouldve been a one-shot hit if I had Kami-sama to descend. However, how should I say this? It sounds dreadful to purposely call him just for that.

Then, are those bicycles and gun technologies from your former world?(Luu)

Yup. They are normal things there. Ah, no. Guns arent that numerous in the country where I lived though(Touya)

Id corrected myself to prevent any misunderstanding with Luu from developing because I didnt want her to think that firing that weapon was an everyday occurrence.

Well, even if you came from a different world, it still doesnt mean that anything has changed ~right?(Rin)

Youre right. It doesnt change the fact that we love Touya-sama(Hilda)

Rather, it makes me a little angry that you didnt say it earlier(Elzie)

Rin, Hilda, Elzie came saying that one by one. I couldnt feel from their expressions that they were confused or were holding back. I guess the expression they are showing is them thinking that it doesnt matter that Im a human from a different world.

Touya is Touya ~ja. I am happy you told us ~you know?(Suu)

Hm, I as well(Sakura)

Thank you. Suu, Sakura(Touya)

I was glad that they could accept me. Ive honestly thought that they might pull away even if they werent going to hate me. A person from different world might not be different from an alien in here. Id been thinking what I should do if they held an image of me being similar to an invader that came from a different world all because of the matters with the Frazes

Wondeeeerfull!(Regina)

Our bodies completely stiffened due to the sudden yell raised by the little doctor. Uaa, I was surprised!

A visitor from a different world! Technology, culture, knowledge, and history that have yet not been seen! Can there be anything more exciting than that! No! There cant be! Touya-kun, marry me!(Professor Regina)

Not allowed!

Wow. All of my fiancees didnt allow Professors proposal. Everyone surrounded me as if trying to protect me. Its a little scary because after all, were told that the number of brides wouldnt increase anymore.

Then, Im fine being a mistress. We cant make a child anyway. How about it?(Regina)

Then its good

Are you really fine with that?!(Touya)

I ended up retorting unintentionally. Huh!? Isnt it that the legal wife usually dislikes the husband having a mistress!?

The reason for the number of brides Touya-san will have to no longer increase is to eliminate any unnecessary problems because it wouldve been troublesome if the royal families or nobles from other countries persistently insisted on [you receiving our daughter](Yumina)

Theres also the problem with the succession of the throne when the children are born unless an unquestionable line is being drawn between the queen and the mistress(Rin)

Even when Id heard Yumina and Rins story, I ended up thinking Isnt it strange?. It must be because I wasnt still familiar with the system of polygamy.

Oh well, this was far better than to have the situation become a catfight between the legal wife and the mistress like [This person is only mine! Dont approach him, you thieving cat!] but I felt somewhat lonely. Though it meant that they understood that the desire to monopolize and love wasnt the same.

Alright, I even got the wives permission, we are one family now! Ah, right-right, dont worry about the problem about the succession of the throne because all of your children are girls except for one(Regina)

Eh

She just smoothly leaked out an unthinkable news just now! What do you mean by all of them are girls except for one!?

W-what do you mean!?(Yae)

There isnt much to say anyway. A conversation like that happened when I was peeping into the future. [All of the 9 queens were able to have children, but only one of them is a prince](Regina)

Seriously? Then, does this mean a prince will be born between me and one of the 9 wives, and the rest will be princesses? Its like she has deprived us of enjoying the future

So there will be at least eight daughters Huh, I kinda feel like a terrible disaster will happen. Wont I be able to just stay at home and relax as a father?

Of course, there might be a second boy that would be born in the future further than what the professor had seen, but I wondered about having ten children. As expected. Theres just going to be too many of them. No, even having nine children is too many already.

Itd been said that Tokugawa Ieyasu had 16 children, and a person like Cao Cao had as many as 25 sons. Though they didnt come close to Tokugawa Ienari who had even more than 50 children.

Incidentally, this Shogun had the longest term of being in the office even among the successive Shoguns, but it had also been said that having made too many children played a role in the decline of the finance of the Shogunate. The collapse of the Shogunate had started from that time as well. He mustve been a guy whos said to have too much of a good thing.

Fuun However this might be something amazing, isnt it?(Rin)

What do you mean, Rin-san?(Hilda)

Isnt it good? If the child is a daughter, then wont she become a bride eventually? Think about it for a moment. She will be a princess of the country, so the possibility of her partner being the prince of another country is considerably high. Thus, doesnt that mean that the lineage of Touya will be succeeded by the members of those royal families?(Rin)

I see Our family may have a lot of relatives. In the future, the grandchildren of Touya-sama will be able to become the kings of each country Certainly, this is(Hilda)

Rin and Hilda were having some kind of talk, but Id decided to pretend not to hear it. They are not even born yet, so I dont even want to hear about marrying any of my daughters.

At any case, weve already become family, so teach me the knowledge from that other world! Hurry-hurry-hurry! What are those tall buildings!? Whats the meaning of those street lights that have those three shining colors!? Does that running iron box move with magic!?(Regina)

Wait-wait-wait! I cant answer if you ask all of them at the same time. There is also stuff that I dont understand even if they exist. For instance, those tall buildings are multi-floored buildings. The three color street lights are traffic lights. Finally, the running iron box is called the train. However, I dont know how those are made or even their structure(Touya)

From the way the professor approached me with bloodshot eyes, I honestly answered her while faltering. Probably, the level of questions this person wanted to hear was impossible for me.

I see. Muuu. If only theres only a way to obtain information about that world!(Regina)

The professor sighed in such a way as if shes showing regret while looking at the cityscapes projected in the air. Ah.

If its information, I think I can obtain it. I should be able to get it from the net. Professor may be able to understand the other things that are difficult even for me. However, you know(Touya)

W-what do you mean!? If there is a method to get information, tell me about it!(Regina)

Still, I was still hesitating whether giving information from Earth to the doctor was a good thing. It wouldve been troublesome if she made an atomic bomb or something else with the information she had obtained bit by bit. Wont the union of magic and science be considerably dangerous?

The knowledge of Earth has many dangerous fields. Two world wars have already happened in our world, and its being said the world will be destroyed if another one happens. Im thinking whether its a good thing to teach you a knowledge like that(Touya)

That Einstein had left these words behind.

I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones(Touya)

The world would certainly be destroyed if the third world war happened. Its a message that contained this kind of warning.

I see That fear is justified. An event like that may certainly happen. Then, why not teach us something from the cultural aspect? Like the myths and stories of that world(Regina)

Thats right. Then everyone is here as well, shall we watch some movies?(Touya)

Movies?(Regina)

If its about stories from Earth, then the ones that are too fictional in nature shouldnt be good. It will end up becoming fantasy after all.

In that case, how about something from history? Maybe something like The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, King Arthur or maybe even Chshingura?

Or maybe a soap opera of some sorts from the modern era in order for them to understand the age where Ive come from.

The movies Id played before resembled this world very much because I was covering up any conversation about the other world at that time, but now that Id confessed the matters about the other world to them, theres already nothing to worry with regards to those.

If I want them to understand Japan, should I really display this work here to them then? This movie Born in Katsushika Shibamata, I guess.

I operated the smartphone play the intended movie.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I showed them a mix of several japanese and western movies after that. It seemed they had understood Earth to some extent thanks to those.

In the end, its really bothering me, but is the thing which Touya-kun carries something that everyone in the other world possesses?(Regina)

The professor pointed at the smartphone and asked. It seemed she liked it very much. Come to think of it, did these came up in the movie Ive shown them a little while ago?

This one which Im carrying is something thats already quite different from the ones in my former world since Ive added various [Enchant] spells in it after coming here. Originally, its a telecommunication device used to exchange information, capable of recording images and doing other different things(Touya)

Umm. Can I be allowed to analyze it even if its only a little? Im thinking whether it will be convenient if I construct a device similar to it and distribute those to everyone or not(Regina)

Fumu. Wont it be convenient if everybody carries one for themselves as a means for communication? We may be able to do something without relying on electromagnetic waves if we combine it with magic. Actually, the professor had already made a similar communication device for the frame gears. If its the professor, wont she also be able to replace electrical power with magic power?

Its most likely though that only this smartphone will be able to connect to Earths internet. Shall I have her make a sample as a trial?

Then, can I borrow it for a bit?(Regina)

The professor received my smartphone and started concentrating magic power on her hand thats holding that smartphone. Oi-oi, what is that?

Analysis Solution separation(Regina)

A soft light flew out of the professors palm. Is this a nonattribute magic?

Fumu Houhou. I see. I understand the structure. Its possible to manufacture this with the materials of this world as well. The problem is(Regina)

I checked the smartphones operation and confirmed there was no problem with it when I had received the smartphone back from the professor who has started grumbling and muttering something.

I was curious about the magic from before, so Id decided to try it out as well.

Analysis(Touya)

Wow! What is that? Things similar to disassembled drawings of the smartphone are floating inside my head, and I understand where and what are the things inside it. Honestly speaking, I feel refreshed for knowing what purpose those parts exist for.

Ah, So it can also analyze the material, huh? Alkali Aluminium silicatesay, what is this?

In case of the professor, has those data been translated into the language of this world?

So its a magic to analyze the structure of something, huh? If I use it on a human being, wont I most likely understand everything up until its internal organs very clearly like an MRI? I feel like it wouldve been the most convenient magic for a physician to use, but to be frank, I dont think he would want to see the internal organs

Ummu! I will manage someway or another! It may be impossible exactly to build it exactly the same, but this will become a convenient magic tool! Rosetta, give me a hand! Lets go to [Workshop]!(Regina)

Ha. I dont mind, but I cant follow that order because Professor doesnt have the right to order me anymore, so unless master gives me permission(Rosetta)

Haaa? Ah thats right. Touya-kun, may I borrow Rosetta?(Regina)

I dont mind. Then, both of them jumped out of the room right after I gave the permission. It seemed Rosetta was somewhat impatient to go.

Both of them will likely shut themselves and not come out for several days(Shesca)

She hasnt changed. It will likely be crueler than when shes in her original body. Her current body has a more exceptionally endurance power(Liora)

Shesca and Liora sighed while seeing the two leaving.

I dont want them to overdo it though, but will they be alright? If we can mass-produce the smartphones, it will surely become convenient in a considerable number of ways, but Im getting a little scared when I have a hunch that she might try to attach some strange functions to it.

Finally, Shesca frankly uttered to me when Id revealed those thoughts of mine while she pointed at the smartphone that I was holding in my hand.

Its master whos recklessly adding strange functions onto it(Shesca)

Shes quite right.
