Description[]
An invention made by Ella of the Mercenary Knights using Remnant. It was based on Ella's creator's designed, using the Black-Book's illustrations of additional equipment suited for the individual Mercenary Knights.
It's alternative to the use of [Message] and allows the knights to remain in contact with one another without communications being disrupted by the presence of the Cracks. Billiophia was gifted this equipment by her younger sister.
During the first meeting between the Mercenary Knights and Sorcerer Kingdom, Billiophia had told Albedo and the protagonist that she could not remove her gauntlet, as it was a part of her. Later it turned out to be a convenient excuse. As if it had been removed and its functions were discovered, it would have led to misunderstandings between the Mercenary Knights and Sorcerer Kingdom.
When Aggresiel and Billiophia were invited to the Great Tomb of Nazarick, a gauntlet was taken out of an Attaché Case and presented as a gift to Momonga. Finding it to be a useful to remain in contact with the Mercenary Knights, it was suggested by Demiurge that Billiophia's be examined to make sure no sensitive information was recorded. Billiophia consented and Momonga and his subordinates learned more about the device's fuctions.[1]
