Summary
Liscia explains how a chaos core used to be a hindrance while mining because they would absorb mana and when they couldn't take any more, they exploded. Genia explains that they were absorbing mana and she found a way to syphon energy from the mana stored. Souma mentions that this could be a battery but it's too dangerous to use currently. He decides to let her continue researching this discreetly.

Souma eventually notes that Ludwin loves Genia. He suggests that the two of them marry to protect Genia and merge their houses. Both of them agree before Souma asks why Genia stole dragon bones. It turned out she stole the bones to make a mechanical dragon. She mentioned leaving a memo behind but it was buried beneath paperwork. Souma notes that the Star Dragon Mountain Range would be upset before testing out his living poltergiest magic on it. Genia is amazed as she only made it to see how the joints worked. Souma decides to keep this a secret for now.

A month after the war with the Principality of Amidonia ended. Souma finally meets Maria Euphoria via the Jewel Stone. Maria asks about the Principality of Amidonia and what happened with them. Souma decides to tell her about a certain incident that happened after Julius took back the throne.
