Portable Stove

The **portable stove** is a cooking stove specially designed to be portable and lightweight, used in camping, picnicking, backpacking, or other use in remote locations where an easily transportable means of cooking or heating is needed. It is one of the many home appliances that has improved the quality of domestic life within the Third Civilization Area of the New World.

## Overview

Before the arrival of Japan, citizens within the Third Civilization Area and especially Outside of the Civilized Areas were forced to cook their food by using an open fire. This by itself was considered to be quite dangerous and it was very labor-intensive to gather firewood, ignite the fire, and keep the fire from spreading. Furthermore, in some regions, cooking by fire was neither practical nor possible, due to the humidity, lack of firewood or the inability to use fire magic.

The portable stove changed all that with its ease of use and convenience. Now people could safely light a fire to cook their meals in their homes or anywhere. One could also control the heat of the flame and didn't need to know fire magic. And with the convenience of spare butane/propane tanks, the user didn't have to go through the effort of gathering firewood.

From the time they were first introduced, New World merchants could already see the profits that the portable stoves would bring. Traveling and camping became far easier. Adventurers would include portable stoves in their supplies. Even the most remote of rural families now have portable stoves in their households.

This simple device has greatly eased the chore of cooking meals.

Nakajima Kikka

The **Nakajima *Kikka*** (中島 橘花, *"Orange Blossom"*) was Japan's first jet aircraft. It was developed late in World War II and the first prototype had only flown once before the end of the conflict. It was also called **Kōkoku Nigō Heiki** (皇国二号兵器, *"Imperial Weapon No.2"*).

## Overview

After the Japanese military attaché in Germany witnessed trials of the Messerschmitt Me-262 in 1942, the Imperial Japanese Navy issued a request to Nakajima to develop a similar aircraft to be used as a fast attack bomber. Among the specifications for the design were the requirements that it should be able to be built largely by unskilled labor, and that the wings should be foldable. This latter feature was to enable the aircraft to be hidden in caves and tunnels around Japan as the navy began to prepare for the defense of the home islands. Nakajima designers Kazuo Ohno and Kenichi Matsumura laid out an aircraft that bore a strong but superficial resemblance to the Me-262.

## Chronology

In the LN, it was revealed that Japan has given the Kikka blueprints to Mu due to the cooperation of the latter by giving the former the rights to renovate the airport they built in Altaras Kingdom. However, during the meeting with the higher brass, what presented are the blueprints of the Nakajima Ki Type-84 Hayate (Army Type-4 Shippu fighter) and the Kyūshū J7W Shinden that he found in a bookstore in Japan. Myrus proposed that Mu should develop a new jet fighter based on the *Shinden* and the *Hayate*will be an "interim fighter" as a replacement for the Marin until they've learned how to design and mass-produce their own jet engines and process the needed jet fuel. 2 years after the meeting, Mu finally built its own prototype jet fighter, the X Shinden Kai, not the Kikka.

## Trivia

* The first flight of the Nakajima Kikka on Earth took place on 7 August 1945, the day after Hiroshima was bombed by atomic bomb.

However, as the man in charge of the Eastern Isles, all of his comments are made by his boss, Barco, who is furious with the Japanese side, and he himself has no comments, so it is unclear what kind of person he is.

## Chronology

### Japanese-Parpaldian War Arc

Nicolas appeared at a meeting when Asada, a diplomat of the Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs, visited the Empire's Third Foreign Affairs Department after the armed conflict between Japan and the Parpaldia Empire during the Battle of Fenn Offshore.

When Asada gave the documents about introducing Japan to them, Nicolas read it which he and his representatives didn't believe about county transference like Mu's myths and tall tales.

Kaios asked him if Japan conquered and rules their countries. Asada replied that Japan did not have a vassal state. The representatives broke out into laughter. Nicolas showed a laugh laced with mockery. Kaios yelled them to stop laughing by being rude to Japanese guests. He decided regarding their request to send Parpaldian ambassador to Japan for about next two months.

However, after this, due to the relationship between the First Foreign Affairs Department and Remille's side action, Barco was not on the scene. His treatment after the reorganization of the Foreign Affairs Department after the defeat in the war was unknown.

## Chronology

### Japanese-Parpaldian War Arc

Raita has been turning away officials from the Japan Ministry of Foreign Affairs who had come to seek a meeting with the Parpaldia Imperial Third Foreign Affairs Department, citing the absence of the section chief.

The absence of the section chief was not his fault, as he was actually on an extended business trip. However, he had underestimated Japan as a barbaric country outside of the civilized world, so he had used his own judgment to avoid reporting on Japanese diplomats to the higher levels.

Meanwhile, the Imperial Oversight Army Fleet was defeated by the Japanese Navy off the coast of Fenn in the Battle of Fenn Offshore. The third foreign department's credibility falls to the ground, and he was blamed for causing this. He was forced to write a lot of reports and his career was cut short. He asked the Japanese who came back to the window after more than a month.

After the defeat of the Empire and the establishment of the new Foreign Affairs Department, which merged the first three Foreign Affairs Departments, his whereabouts are unknown. However, like the rest of the Parpadian people, Raita has become pessimistic that the Parpadian Empire now has to become puppet to Japan.

## Trivia

* In the manga version, she was condescending to Japan, and was concerned about the deterioration of her own reputation, so she turned away diplomats at the door.

In front of the commander of the Phoenix Knights appeared a twelve-horned beast. Many of his subordinates fell to this beast. It may be powerful, but if he can’t at least hurt this one beast, he couldn’t bear to show his face around those that had died. The commander tightened his grip on his sword. He swung his sword. The twelve-horned beast’s fur was cut in some places, but its body was hardly damaged.

The commander looked in the direction of the voice. He saw Mauli Hanman, but he was surrounded by magical beasts as his allies were all gone.

When the GVE offered the kingdom some military equipment in exchange of allowing them to put a FOB base, Rival immediately advised Bank to accept the offer of the GVE, even knowingly that they will incur the wrath of the World Union members. He also misjudged the fighting capabilities of Japan by comparing the ship size and the caliber size of GVE's naval guns against Japan's and the lacking of an aircraft carrier in the JMSDF fleet as weakness of the Japanese. All of these became his biggest mistake when the FOB base of the GVE in the Riem capital city of Hilkiga was targeted by JASDF's F-2 fighters and bombed their AA guns, radar towers and runway. Later, the royal castle was bombed by BP-3C bombers when they saw a radar tower in the castle which considered it as a target.

Adding to their infamy, no Jet-Black Knight has ever been defeated in battle. They also ride the Demon Beast Goruaus

## History

### The Forgotten World

When a jet-black knight invaded the castle district in the Esperanto Kingdom, JGSDF Shinji Oka fired 5.56mm rounds from a Type 89 rifle and shattered the armor of the jet-black knight, ripping through its flesh and penetrating deep into its body.
Mu's Eastern Sea Incident

**Mu's Eastern Sea Incident** was a commercial ship attack in the Eastern Sea of Mu, caused by Gra Valkas as part of their maritime blockade campaign.

## Background

Since the Gra Valkas Empire declared war on the entire New World and especially after the campaign to conquer the Second Civilization began, Gra Valkas, in tandem with land invasions, launched attacks on shipping routes as well as repelling all World Union naval counter-attacks to isolate Mu and others countries of the Second Civilization Area any external assistance and communication. These attacks were aimed at not only warships, but also merchant ships, passenger ships, or any other ship of any country approaching the waters of the Second Civilization in general and the Mu in particular.

As part of their tactics, Gra Valkas imperial submarines launched an unrestricted submarine warfare similar to Germany during World War II.

## Incident

At some point in February 17, 1643 Central Calendar, a Japanese merchant ship named *Ikai Maru* (DRIVE NEW WORLD in the LN) was en-route to transport export cars from Japan to Mu. Suddenly, it encountered an unidentified Acrux seaplane, which was later referred to as a seaplane launched from a Cetus-class submarine of the Gra Valkas Imperial 2nd Submarine. Despite sending an SOS signal, it was traveling alone and was 300 km from the nearest Mu coast, too far to receive any timely assistance.

Additionally, Japan declared that it was a safe route to reach so Japan did not need to send any Destroyers capable of anti-submarine warfare.

Astor discovered a merchant ship with the red circle flag on a white background as part of the mission. His Acrux seaplane lowered its altitude and attacked the merchant ship with two 60-kg bombs, both of them were direct hits. Due to the explosive power of the bombs, plus the amount of fuel loaded in the ship and the transporting cars, the merchant ship caught fire so quickly that it lost control, and the captain ordered to abandon the merchant ship.

However, the tragedy now really begins: Astor, who is the inhuman pilot, instead of returning after completing the mission, continues to descend and attack the rescue boats, which are full of sailors of the merchant ship, with 7.7mm machine guns. Until Mu's Marin arrived, they found only the merchant ship on fire and rescue boats shattered by machine guns. All crew aboard the merchant ship *Ikai Maru* have confirmed killed in action.

## Aftermath

This incident was later notified to the Japanese Government a few hours later, made them worried that such attacks would continue. To make matters worse, the Defense Minister said that the JMSDF could not afford to protect the entire 20,000-kilometer sea route between Mu and Japan due to a shortage of warships and high operating costs; the establishment of convoys was also denied due to operating costs.

This, however, becomes a foundation of Japan to officially declare war against the Gra Valkas Empire. One of their main Operation is to defend Mu from the Gra Valkas 4th Armored Division by sending at least 20 vehicles which later scores a major blow against Gra Valkas Armed Forces.

At the end of the Liberation of Leifor, Ramball, Gesta, and Cielia witnessed the World Union's mass wyvern attack and then the Lightning Flame Dragon destroyed the Daigenera Fortress on Mt. Daigenera, completing ending Gra Valkas ambitions on the continent. As a hysterical Gesta demanded Ramball do something to get them home, Ramball remembered that there was an Imperial Navy's hidden Hilcalino submarine supply base on an island 300km off the coast of Nigrat Union, the country south of Leifor. He decided they would have to reach it to have any hope of escaping.

Two hours later, they met and exchanged greetings with the Leiforian collaborator Avis, a company president of Reymevius Co., and his daughter Amy. Gesta praised Ramball somewhat out of character for Reymevius Co. as having lots of backchannels with important entities. Setting that aside, he proceeded to explain their circumstances to Avis, but Avis made the necessary arrangements on one condition, to which Gesta agreed.

Avis provided all three with new clothes and supplies, as well as his daughter Amy as a guide. With their lives on the line, Gesta, Cielia, and Ramball began preparations for their flight out of Leifor.

One day, at the water of Rodenius Continent, Ruffle discovered a disguised merchant ship *Tarcos*, carrying princess Lumies in exile from the Altaras Kingdom after Parpaldia Empire’s Invasion of Altaras. Judging from the size of the merchant ship *Tarcos*, he decided that it was a prime target and launched an attack with three pirate ships. However, he was surprised at the number of return arrows in his counterattack. He didn't flinch and used his sheer numbers to overwhelm them.

At this point, Captain Seto saw something suspicious on the radar in Japan Coast Guard ship *Shikishima* and dispatched the *Umitaka* to discover the communication between the two ships. When Ruffle saw this, he shuddered, remembering the "White Devil" that had been capturing pirates in the area one after another lately.

As Ruffle was telling his men about it, the White Devil appeared. He instructed his men to attack first with their longbows, but it didn't work at all, and all three pirate ships sank quickly after being hit by the counterattack 35mm machine guns. All three pirate ships promptly sank and were unceremoniously put to death.

## Trivia

* In the manga version, Ruffle's pirate ship sailed away as soon as he saw the White Devil, so he didn't get sunk.

O’Connor

**O’Connor** is a sailor of the battleship *Grade Atlastar* of the Gra Valkas Empire.

## Chronology

### New World War Arc

After the destruction of the Super Heavy Bombing Unit and the 44th Task Force on the Great Naval Invasion of Japan, Supreme Commander Caesar ordered the main fleet of the Great Fleet at full speed toward the JSDF base in Nahanath. Without refueling his ships, the entire fleet is now on a one-way mission in an apparent suicidal attack to destroy the base.

In the end of a naval battle, when the battleship *Grade Atlastar* failed to land a single hit on JMSDF destroyers and endured hundreds of shot, Commander Caesar ordered them to pushed on with the attack as the battleship *Grade Atlastar* still stood firm. When the JSDF 5th Surface-to-Surface Missile Regiment fired six Type-12 surface-to-ship missiles to finally destroy the *Grade Atlastar*, one of the missiles landed close to the bridge of the *Grade Atlastar* enveloping everything in its proximity in an intense explosion. Caesar, Luxtal and other officials inside the bridge were vaporized in an instant as explosive flames engulfed the ship.

However, the attacks continued. Another missile came and landed a hit, followed by another one, violently damaging the ship. Sailor O’Connor was struck by fear. The bridge was rumbling due to the flames brought about by the Japanese attack as the sky was drenched black by the smoke. In a situation where they no longer had any hope for victory, the enemy’s attacks continued. One after another, the attacks landed on their ship, enveloping it in explosions. Every other sailor who was still alive on the ship was terrified.

At a time, O’Connor was about to collapse from terror, he heard the words "abandon ship". He didn’t know who said those words but to his ears, they were the words of salvation. With death knocking on his door, he interpreted the words at his convenience. O’Connor then shouted at them to abandon the ship at all hands. With the bridge blown away and their chain of command in disarray, coupled with the presence of death at their doors, the sailors that heard the words "all hands, abandon ship" repeated it loudly so that everyone else who didn’t hear it would hear it.

O’Connor’s words were propagated throughout the ship as if they were legitimate orders as the sailors scrambled to jump out into the ocean. Even if they were to remain on the ship, the next guided bomb would hit them and could even end up killing them. Faced with the reality of certain death, they took whatever chance at life they got with them as they jumped into the waters next to the ship.

O’Connor and other surviving crew members of the *Grade Atlastar* which had abandoned the ship and jumped into the ocean were captured by the JMSDF as prisoners of war.

When the Parpaldia Empire began the invasion of the Altaras Kingdom, they had secured the seas after the air and naval battle. The Parpaldian army landed with 3,000 elite troops and 32 Land Dragons on the northern coast of Altaras. The army then headed south intending to take Altaras' capital Le Brias over the Rubile Plain.

When the Altaras' King Taara XIV heard of the defeat of his fleet, he marched north with his Royal Army intending to confront and push the Parpaldian invaders back into the sea. On the Rubile Plain, the two armies met. The battle began with a mass charge of the Royal Army against the Parpaldian lines. Lacking the powerful ranged weapons their Parpaldian opponents possessed, Altaras' army tried to overwhelm the Parpaldians by their numerical superiority. The Parpaldians responded with cannon fire and air attacks from their wyvern lords. Although they inflicted significant casualties on the advancing Royal Army, it didn't stop it. As the onslaught reached the first Parpaldian line comprised of 32 Land Dragons, the Land Dragons unleashed their short-ranged but wide fire blasts killing thousends of Altaras' soldiers and completely stopping the Altarian attack. Only 300 Altarian cavalry broke through the first line which were quickly mowed down by the Parpaldian infantry. When then the Phishanus-class 100-gun ships-of-the-line opened fire on the Altarian Royal Army, the combined fire power of the Parpaldian Army proved too much to overcome and the Royal Army was wiped out and its king killed during the battle.
