**Act 2: Ibuki-kun Soars into the “Sun”
After racking my brain for the first step in my grand plan to befriend Rui, one brilliant idea came to mind:
Gather intel from someone close to Rui!
And so, here I am at my destination一
a place right next door that I haven’t visited in years. The air smelled sweeter than I remembered.
“Welcome, Onii-san~”
The one who greeted me was a girl who had grown far beyond my memories.… Read more
As usual, Izumi was on the receiving end of a harsh counterattack, fleeing towards the committee room.
As he went down the stairs from the rooftop, he deeply regretted his earlier actions.
(I really should’ve just said it normally! But then again, that would’ve been embarrassing too…)
Needless to say, the entire class was in an uproar later during the afternoon lessons over tales of Izumi agonizing alone in the hallway.
…After Izumi left the rooftop.… Read more
“Sir Ur. What shall we do?”
Shizuku asked. Her eyes held a hint of anxiety. It was immediately clear that she was worried about the knights being injured right before their eyes. Ur nodded in agreement.
“Either way, we can’t just stand here and watch. Let’s lend a hand—”
“We’ve been waiting for you.”
“—Whoa!?”
A third voice interrupted their conversation. Startled, Ur turned around to find a woman dressed as a servant standing behind him and Shizuku, seemingly appearing out of nowhere.… Read more
“Even considering the matter of the mithril mines, rebelling to the point of taking up arms is too much of a stretch. We should probably assume that the Callandor territory has been illegally siphoning and profiting from mithril for many years.”
“Yeah, I’d say so.”
Everyone is just casually carrying on the conversation,
but there’s one thing really concerning me.
“Um…our territory doesn’t have any military forces, you know?”
I thought I was making a very reasonable point, but…
“What are you saying?… Read more
Though a narrow corridor, there was enough room for the small man and young girl. No issues swinging the knife, but the staff couldn’t be swung fully.
So Cklares gripped the center of the shaft to spin and swing it.
Blade and staff continuously crisscrossed.
The small man’s movements were based on military close-quarters combat assassination techniques.
Against the lightning-fast, minimum motion attacks seizing the slightest opening in the enemy’s breath and consciousness, her style deflected the enemy’s strikes and subdued them.… Read more
Then, Alabaster cleared his throat and began to speak.
“Since I’ve told them I’m going to greet the academy headmaster today, I should be able to meet in the afternoon… I’d appreciate it if you didn’t push too hard, but could you ask?”
Alabaster responded to Aoi’s words with such a simple reply. It made one wonder if she was being blackmailed somehow. Alabaster’s response was surprisingly meek.
“The afternoon, is it? Well, we have time until then, so shall we observe some other lectures?”… Read more

“The remaining three seals can’t be undone unless the three keys are used—two held by the royal family of the Romus Kingdom, and one by another individual.”
“Who’s the other person?”
“Unknown. This person’s identity is completely hidden. But it’s certain they’re a citizen of the Romus Kingdom.”
Leia looked surprised by this explanation, but I remained silent. This was because I had researched the seal of another one of the Four Fiends, the Dark Dragon Apophis, during a lecture, and the content was almost identical.… Read more
“The person you defeated, Carton, was a member of the Disaster Blood Oath.”
“Right. I heard about that from Camilla.”
“It’s a rather infamous blood oath. The mage you were with, Focal, was the third seat…”
“I’ve heard about it.”
“The story of how if a sworn brother was killed, and how the remaining three will act?”
“…Yes.”
Hearing it stated so plainly, I’m struck by the gravity of the situation. Pardomikhov, however, strokes his beard as if it’s someone else’s problem.… Read more
However, Shion couldn’t tolerate Alphonse’s last statement.
…On that day, at that time, Shion had seen the figure of a great hero in Alphonse. He had felt deep respect for the noble way Alphonse fought.
Shion couldn’t stand the thought of such a man being called a “false hero.”
“You seem to misunderstand that I defeated the Dragon, but that doesn’t matter right now. …However, let me say this clearly.”
His voice now carried a strong, serious tone, unlike his previous somewhat oblivious manner.… Read more
