"Honestly, do you really expect us to believe that we're in another world and to follow you? It seems you're not joking; you truly appear to be a plain fool."

Hyouma Sagara declared, his narcissism unwavering, as he advanced to initiate a confrontation with Roy.

"It seems we have a nail that's sticking out! Are there any others who think the same?!"

Shouted Roy as he was going to make an example of Hyouma to the rest of his family.

While Darnic stopped Fiore and Celenike from helping Hyouma, as he sensed how dangerous Roy was.

Hyouma used Gandr, He concentrated the cursed energy on his index finger, and just as he was about to release the spell, a loud snap echoed, catching the attention of every member of Yggdmillennia.

Boom!

The next moment, Hyouma's body was consumed in a loud fiery explosion. As the flames died down, they revealed his charred form, which disintegrated into ashes at the touch of the wind.

-An Hour Later-

An hour had passed since the incident with Hyouma, and the Yggdmillennia family was becoming accustomed to Roy's mansion, learning to follow all of his orders.

"This is so amazing! We're really in another world with the magic of the age of gods!"

Roche exclaimed, playing with a wand Roy had given him. He was casting spells like Transfiguration, Alohomora, Accio, Diffindo, and Reparo.

"Roche, please show some self-control, for petes sakes! You're giving the Yggdmillennia a bad name."

Gordes tried to reprimand Roche for acting like the curious child that he is. 

"Now, now. Roche is merely practicing the magic of this world, Gordes. I'm also aware that you're curious about the alchemy here as well."

Said Darnic, trying to stop the internal family conflict.

Roy was relishing the clear afternoon sky from his patio when Neo appeared, a few hours following their lovers' quarrel.

'o(*≧▽≦)ツ(*╯^╰) Hello Sparky! I've brought some gifts as an apology. \(^o^)/'

She then unpacked the items she had bought from the system store.

-Atlesian Airship:

A large military aircraft used by the Atlas Military, between 300 and 400 meters in length, that runs on gravity Dust generators, which were capable of keeping the behemoths afloat.

-Atlesian Knight-200:

A Dust-powered line of advanced Atlesian android foot soldiers armed with handheld dust rifles

-Atlesian Paladin-290:

A Dust-powered massive mechanized battlesuit developed by the Kingdom of Atlas

-Manta:

A Dust-powered military aircraft is both a heavy gunship, a transport, and a patrol ship.

-HVB Rhino HDS800:

A Dust-powered open-air transport, usually carrying three passengers

HVB Rhino HDS800

-Argus Limited:

A Dust-powered train that transports passengers and cargo. The train has baggage, coach, sleeping and dining cars.

-Scroll:

A Dust-powered object that functions as a collapsible, holographic tablet. It can be used as a phone, a portable computer, a camera, and a streaming device as well as a gaming controller, among other functions. During combat, it is able to gauge a user's Aura and depict it as a life bar, along with those of the user's teammate.

'¯\_(*✧×✧*)_/¯ So, Sparky, have I been forgiven or not? d=====(￣▽￣*)b'

Neo texted as she showed her gifts.

"Neo, these items may appear impressive, but their circuits will short-circuit upon exposure to magic."

She gazed at Roy as though he was foolish.

'ㄟ(*°▽°*)ㄏ What are you referring to, Sparky? All technology powered by dust is also compatible with magic as an energy source. (o゜▽゜)o☆'

"What the hell is Dust Neo?"

'`(*>﹏<*)′ Hmm, in my world Remnant, Dust serves as a vital energy source. Its physical properties render it extremely versatile for numerous applications, primarily as a power source for most technology, and especially in the crafting of weapons. <( ╬▔^▔)⊃━☆Bye'

Neo explained handing him a Dust user's pamphlet and an Owner's Manuals & Maintenance Guide book.

Going through both printed works, Roy called over his elves.

"Didi, Maxi, and Willi! Bring me Walter and all of the Yggdmillennia to my location."

Roy then turned his attention towards Neo.

"Neo, how were you able to purchase all these items?"

'ヾ(○｀ 3′○)ブ Well, I've been collecting magical items for some time now. Hehehe! (o＾▽＾)o☆Hehehe…'

"I think you mean stealing, Neo."

Roy grabbed Neo by her waist and lifted her to his height.

"So that's how you build up the points, huh!"

She was becoming nervous being held by him, and then out of nowhere he planted a passionate kiss on her and began to make out with her.

Cough! Cough! Cough! 

After hearing a fake cough, they separated in a disheveled state from their makeout session.

"Ah, good you made it! I've summoned all of you here to inspect all these pieces of magic technology. Oh, and Walter, I want you to bring any wizard who has any experience with engineering or is interested in learning."

Walter was surprised by the new residents of the castle, he guessed they were brought in to increase the power of the island. 

"I'll get my people here as fast as possible, Lord Mustang."

-A few minutes later-

The entirety of Yggdmillennia had just finished inspecting the countless Dust-powered vehicles and other technologies with the manuals.

Their task was made easier by the fact that they could duplicate all the hardware using magic and the circuitry remained intact. And the manual explained most of the intricately advanced hardware.

The wizards that Walter had brought over were working tirelessly to catch up with their tasks. Some of their findings overlapped with each other, but they were able to empower and enable different sections of the complex hardware.

Some of the hardware and circuitry acted as control or pressure valves for the arcane energies that were meant to flow through the system. They were now inspecting the materials using inspection charms to identify them.

"Oh, oh, oh! Lord Mustang can I keep the Atlesian Knight-200 and

Atlesian Paladin-290. I promise I can replicate them all in less than a year." 

Roche was pleading and used his strongest weapon. His adorable puppy dog eyes.

'(´▽`ʃ♡ƪ) He is so adorable! Can I keep him Roy?'

"No, Neo, I'm afraid of what you'll do to him."

Her nature as a Sadist made it obvious what she'd do to the boy, which rendered her motherly instincts nonexistent.

Looking at that Roche dropped to his knees and was teary-eyed, Roy decided to give in.

"Huh, fine Roche, you can take over. But you better keep your end of the deal."

Roche was overjoyed to get what he wanted, oblivious to Roy's eye twitch. Darnic intervened before any trouble arose.

"My Lord, Roche is the greatest genius in golem creation, and I can assure you that he can accomplish this goal."

Roy then remembered that Darnic's true strength never lies in his magical power or in education, but rather in his political skills. He's a first-rate swindler, who worked hard to keep his clan from falling into trouble.

"Say Darnic, I know you are an immoral, devilish, cunning, ambitious and treacherous manipulator who shows no qualm in manipulating and betraying others in order to reach your goals. And please don't lie about it."

Darnic took a big gulp, in the realization that his true personality was discovered. 

"..."

"How would you like to work directly for me, Darnic!"

"What?!"

Darnic was stupefied by Roy's question.

Roy then began to explain the problems in the British Magical Community and what he was doing.

"I have no issues with what you've done, my Lord. In fact, you act as a true magus from my world, for that, I will take the position you're offering me. But only if you can assure me of two of my requests."

"My first request is that you let Gordes and Celenike Access to the prisoners you have in your dungeon and access to your library."

Roy didn't even take a second to answer back.

"Ohh boy! You didn't really need to make that request Darnic. I was gonna let you all have access to the library and all the prisoners. So what's the second request?"

Darnic was caught off guard when Roy easily gave up his knowledge and magical materials. He collected his thoughts, as he asked for a second request.

"My lord, you've said that this island is isolated and independent by both the British magical and nonmagical. Since you're already the ruler of the lands of the island, what would you say to declare yourself King of this island?"
