I could be.

Twelve knights number one, I'm captain of the regiment.

The strong push of the Grand Duke of Talguia has officially decided that I, the newcomer, will be appointed head of the Twelve Knights regiment.

It's a feat, said Captain Stigme, who told me about it, with a grin on his beautiful face.

"Of course, there was some disagreement that the Twelve Knights Captain was premature for you just to come. Your dedication and contribution have been appreciated since you came here."

In other words, it is a daily act. Teach magic, teach how to remove vampire curses, and save the life of Her Majesty the Empress.

"The Twelve Knights... Oh, this is the previous one, but there was also rebellion from its constituent members, but because they showed strength in the Games, they are weak in their dissent. Above all, Lord White Knight, number two, has expressed his approval for your inauguration as captain of the regiment"

Sir Dini Agnos agreed.

It should be noted that the number three, the Black Knight, Sir Elisha Baldia, was hardly opposed. but Gortin, who fought me directly, gave up the chair of the regiment leader saying, 'If you are a knight who protects Her Majesty the Empress, let's give up your seat' became the outfit that stabbed Todome at the opposition.

If Lord Goltin is good - if the man who reigned as Apolito's mightiest knight admitted it - it seems so.

I became captain of the Twelve Knights, but all of a sudden I can't do whatever I want. Again, sometimes he was a newcomer, and all of a sudden he entered the royal palace without guarding the empress, starting from where he learned to be a knight in the army.

You can touch the Apolito Army's secrets all you want. As far as I'm concerned, that's the main part of the reason I'm staying here, so things like wishing and fulfilling.

You can't leave the royal palace under Your Majesty's protection because it's not funny. Continue to ask Sir Goltin to assume the protection of Her Majesty the Empress.

Once told him so, the former commander responded, like a loyal subordinate. The expression doesn't change, but what do you think on the inside?

Well, by becoming the captain of the regiment, I made it convenient for my promised Bull aunt to have access to state-of-the-art medical care in Apolito.

Bull, who was thrilled with this, thanked me and swore allegiance that he would follow me for the rest of his life.... I'm not going to stay long in these days, so I'm a little behind.

In the meantime, the bull fitted into the squire position that Kruff had fallen out of.

The kurf officially became the twelve knights. Off my obedient knight, but from now on I will obey as a subordinate. He is given a Duel-type custom demon machine.

And Leos. He became the number five of the Twelve Knights and was given the Duel Series Demon Machine. Of course, it's a demon machine with a proper pilot, so if it's not recognized by the fuselage here, it becomes a custom demon machine... Well, that's enough magic to unleash a huge amount of magic during battle, so there 'll be enough magic.

When I got on the actual machine, I showed fit and officially became a Demon Machine pilot. It occurred to me that a modification would be made to the Demon Machine to suit his style of battle, and this would be Douel Faust later.

The new twelve knights were given a demon machine without a demon machine, but that's the same for me.

Gortin, the former captain of the regiment, really gave me the magic machine, Ridala Darha.

Darha, a Ridala series demon machine with a darker knight's design than the original, is slightly larger than Ridala Byrne, Ridala Dub.

Its armored design is heavy. The silver hull colour is accompanied by the appearance of a heavy knight. With plate-shaped gear on the back like a cape, it's probably the bit-based gear on a remote attack terminal. Or an automatic shield.

It could be described as a magic machine that combines the power of a captain-only machine with a piercing lock.... the problem is that I have no demon machine aptitude.

I would like to make good use of the gift, but about five minutes is not the limit.

But someone found a solution to this problem.

It is Deacy.

Test drive, so I got into Ridala Darha. Outside, former commander Gortin and the twelve knights of the handrails watch.

As I sat in the seat, it was nice not to know from the outside that Deesy was on my lap and analyzing the demon machine.

"Before I got here, I checked out Cea Furtuna"

The tip of Deecy's extended arm is bringing the light back and forth between her and the cockpit console.

"Then I touched all sorts of demon machines... I see, that's the magic machine. You're using better materials than a demon machine."

"Nice material."

"You just said handmade peppers from what? A skilled technician or magician must have done his best. Instead, there's no magic left to move him."

"Is that why ordinary people can't manipulate magic machines?

It has a lot of magic to consume to move it. So if you can't recover on your own each time just commensurate with the supply of magic, you suck up the magic of the pilot, and if you suck, you kill him.

"- Some parts are similar to the fuselage that that demon daughter made.... maybe it was the devil who built the demon machine."

The devil's daughter made it. You mean the kid from the junior year of Nine Heads Valley? With my doubts in mind, Deecy grinned.

"I found it, it's this guy's control system. Spirit System...... No, Spirit Core. It's similar to the golem core we use. He's demanding magic to move it."

"I mean...?

"If you reach a certain amount of magic and can't maintain it, this core won't work. As a result, pilots have no choice but to do something with their magic. Even if the Lord can activate it, it can only move the demon machine for a few minutes."

"Mm-hmm."

I flicker.

"You mean if you put that Spirit Core on the Golem Core and you build a control system with it, I can move it normally?

"Mm-hmm. If you increase the intake of magic from the outside or build up a spare magic tank, even the Lord will be able to manipulate the magic machine freely"

Please, what Dr. Deesy said.

"but, well, I can't afford that modification right now"

"It was."

We have to move it. I lay my hands on the spherical control lever. This neighborhood is just like Ridala Byrne, who tested it before.

"Don't panic, Lord. Once I know the structure, I'll do something about it. I'll rewrite this busty spiritual core first."

"Can you do it, Deacy?

"Whatever. I'll be replacing these dungeon cores in no time!

In the meantime, it seems almost unchanged that Deesy would be hostile to what is named the core of the room.

But it's a horrible expression of Poncottscore or something. Is it so naive a system for her?... No, wait.

"Did I just tell you I can't do the dungeon core?

"I said, what's wrong with that?

This comes to mind, but apart from the artificial core of the mechanical civilization era, isn't the artificial core made by the magical civilizer incorporated into this magical machine?

Or was it processed dungeon core? It's a dungeon core sole to use magic to move it.

"Look, Lord. Core rewrote. I tried to incorporate magic specs from the outside. You need a little more to fight, but if you just move it, you'll be fine."

"Thank you, Deacy.... Well, let's see if we can move it, Ridala Darha"

The demon machine vibrates. The power roared, and with my hand, the captain-only plane moved out.
