第6話: ルドウィン、ジェニア・マクスウェルとその魔法バッテリーの研究を紹介

6

Ludwin reports a childhood friend, Genia Maxwell, has done something terrible and takes Kazuya and Liscia to an abandoned dungeon to meet her. As the dungeon no longer spawns monsters, the Maxwell family turned it into one giant research laboratory. Genia reveals she is a self-proclaimed Over-Scientist, researching a power other than magic, such as the broadcast gemstones, which are actually the dead hearts of dungeons. Without them, dungeons cannot spawn monsters and become abandoned like her laboratory. It is her dream to examine a gemstone while it is alive and functioning. She also reveals she has discovered a method of storing magic in the formerly useless and dangerous mineral Curse Ore, which the Elfrieden Kingdom has vast amounts of. Kazuya realizes she has essentially created a rechargeable magical battery that could not only lead to an Industrial Revolution, but also a war with their jealous neighboring kingdoms. To keep Genia tied to Elfrieden, Kazuya and Liscia ask if Genia would mind marrying Ludwin, which after some embarrassment, they both agree to. Now engaged, Ludwin remembers he sought Kazuya and Liscia because Genia has caused a scandal by stealing dragon bones. (Source: Wikipedia)
