After spending the night at Nido Castle, Milowina spent the next morning walking around the village of Kaina.

"Auntie, talk to me!

"Oh, dear, of course."

On the way, the village children caught her, and she told them stories ......, mostly old tales from the old Leonard's kingdom.

"Oh, really?

"How long ago was that?"

"That's a mystery!"

Milowina also seemed to enjoy interacting with the children, and Jin seemed to be very lively.

"I bet this is the first time for you to see children, isn't it?"

He was sure that there was no one younger than Milowina at the UNY facility.

"Hmm, I'm sure that's right."

Milowina looks happy surrounded by children.

"Elsa, how is Milowena's health?

"Yes, very good. I feel younger since I came here.

Elsa said, "I think it's having a positive effect on her mentally.

"I hope so."

"Yeah."

Jin and Elsa felt this way from the bottom of their hearts as they watched Milowina tell the children a story about the old days.

* * * * * *

"Yes, I heard that ......".

Milowina had something on her mind and was now talking to the village chief, Giebeck.

"......Some say that your ancestors came over the mountains in the east."

"......I knew it."

Milowina, who had heard from Giebeck about the old stories of the village and her ancestors, looked convinced.

He thought she must have realized something, but he did not force himself to ask her until she told him.

Jin said, "Hey, Jin-kun.

"Hey Jin-kun, will you take me to Leonard's Kingdom?"

Milowina said to Jin as they finished lunch at Martha's house.

Jin had no objection.

"Yes, but where ...... would you like to go?"

"Well, I guess the place where the capital used to be."

Milowina wants to go to Diaa, the former capital city that she visited with Hannah and her friends before.

I understand. I know some of the places there.

So we decided to go there by <>.

The distance is about 300 kilometers, so we take the <> and arrive there in one hour.

Elsa, Reiko, Kai, and Edgar are accompanying them.

Jin ordered the old man to send 20 Land troops to survey the area in advance, in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Diaa, the old capital, had not changed since the previous visit.

"This is the capital ......"

It must have been a special feeling to have stood there with one's own feet, instead of looking at it from the sky. Milowina stood there for a while in silence.

After standing there for about 10 minutes, she looked back at Jin and the others. It was probably not Jin's imagination that her eyes seemed to be a little moist.

"Thank you, Jin. ......Where is this basement?"

"Oh, yes. This way.

Jin leads us to a sturdy two-story building that appears to be a museum. Milowina followed, with Kai standing close behind her.

Elsa and Edgar are in the last row. Reiko is in a ranger position, a little apart from the group, keeping an eye on the surroundings.

The entrance, which had been cleared of vines, was still intact.

Once inside, we found a group of murals. Jin lit a ball of light.

"Well, ......."

Milowina looked surprised.

"This is the ...... creation myth. This one is about people's lives. And ......."

Milowina looks around slowly, one by one. Contrary to my expectations, she seemed to be enjoying herself.

After looking at all the murals, Milowina told me,

"Would you like to visit the basement?

Jin asked.

"Oh, yes. You need a messenger, don't you? I'll ask them.

"Yes, sir."

Jin instructed Reiko and poured magic power into the Magi Stone for activation.

Jin and the others had put up a barrier just in case, but the passage to the basement opened without incident.

"Come on, let's go."

Kai led the way down the stairs to the basement, followed by Jin and Erza, each leading Milowina by the hand. Reiko was the leader of the group.

"<>"

The messenger's voice sounded.

"You must be the messenger. I am a descendant of the escaped royalty."

"<>"

At that moment, the messenger's voice was cut off. And then...

Welcome home.

A different voice came through.

"Indeed, you are a direct descendant of the Leonard family.

Somehow he must have read Mirówna's magic patterns.

It seems that another magical brain has awakened in place of the messenger.

It has been 235 years since I was built, and at last the One who should serve me has returned.

You're a magic brain too?

Yes. My name is...

What?

I'm [email?protected]+>.

I can't understand the name part.

"I don't know your name."

It's a trivial matter. Now, what do you want me to do?

What?

That the kingdom of Leonard be restored to this land.

But Milowina shook her head at this request.

"I don't intend to. I am the only one left alive.

So, all I want is for you to be at the top of the heap after the continent has been pacified.

I don't want to do that anymore.

No, you'll be the top ...... queen by any means necessary.

You mustn't do such a crazy thing.

It's not absurd. It's possible with my power.

That's why I don't want to do it.

No, this is my mission.

No, please!

The world is yours!

At that moment there was a slight vibration.

"What is it?"

Jin wonders. Then comes a report from Reiko.

"...... father, a demon has appeared on the surface of the earth.
