The Hangar and Frame Gears The birds locate another teleportation circle. Reaching the island Touya meets Fredmonica who registers Touya as owner of her Hangar Island and the anti-Phrase Frame-Gear suits. Unfortunately, the suits run on Ether Liquid which can only be made by the still missing Research Lab island. Flora offers to make an inferior version, but requires a rare spellstone over twelve inches long, of which there are only six in the entire world. Fortunately, one is in Brunhild, so Flora promises to have the fuel ready in one month. Touya and the fiancés train in Frame-Units, virtual reality machines that simulate piloting a Frame-Gear. Sue abruptly demands to be Touya’s next fiancé as she is being pressured to marry Prince Zabune of Linhea Kingdom, a 30 year old man suspected of paedophilia. The fiancés consent to Sue marrying Touya for her protection. Touya learns Zabune’s maternal uncle Wardack is Linhea’s Prime Minister and frequently conceals Zabune’s crimes. Zabune also has a much kinder half brother, son of the king’s concubine. Sue’s father Duke Ortlinde informs Linhea’s diplomatic emissary Sue will be marrying Touya. Hearing this the emissary reveals he is Cloud, Zabune’s brother, and begs Touya to use teleportation magic to rescue his imprisoned mother.
