We were better equipped than ever, and the battlefield was covered in a demon-repelling barrier, so the vampire might be weakened overall.
But my instincts were screaming—this would be the worst fight yet.
So I used a cowardly argument to silence Suzuha.
“But Suzuha, think about it.”
“About what?”
“Have I ever broken a promise to you? Have I ever not come back?”
“…No. Never.”
“Then trust me this time too, okay?”… Read more

Clang, clang—the sound of metal striking metal echoed through the forge.
Where was I? In the elf village’s smithy.
What was I doing? Hammering orichalcum under the elder’s strict supervision.
Why? Because of Unyu-ko’s situation.
The day after the shocking “whole village bowing” incident,
the elves finally regained their composure and came to a decision.
(Well, I only heard this from the elder.)
“—So, the princess failed to slay the Wandering Silver Haired Vampire, did they?”… Read more

“…Why would those people want to come to such a remote place…?”
When Ayano murmured this absentmindedly, the young bureaucrat replied matter-of-factly:
“It’s obvious, isn’t it? They wanted to see with their own eyes what kind of person the Frontier Margrave is.”
“Ah—”
That’s right, Ayano belatedly remembered.
She, too, had once visited him for that very reason.
Back then, she never imagined she’d end up buried in paperwork like this—
“…Yes.… Read more

We didn’t know what lay ahead where the light pointed, but we decided to go anyway.
The reason was simple:
There might be clues about the elves or Unyu-ko there.
That said, Queen Toko couldn’t leave her country unattended for a long, aimless journey, so she tearfully returned to the capital.
Thanks to the Saintess’s arrangements, the Holy Theocracy provided guards for Toko-san’s trip back.… Read more

At the summit of the Grand Cathedral stood a lavish chamber.
It was a secret room that seemed to condense the church’s centuries-old artistic heritage into a single space, lavishly decorated with opulent and dazzling ornaments. It would likely be more difficult to find an item in this room that wasn’t a national treasure.
At its center, three figures sat around an ornate table.
One—the Saintess, looking healthier than before. A relief.
One—a stern, muscular elder with a soldier’s bearing.… Read more

“Mind telling me the real reason?”
“I heard about your illness and wanted to see if I could help.”
“Couldn’t you have asked that during the day?”
“Sorry, I only learned how serious it was afterward.”
“Hopeless, aren’t you——”
With a sigh, the Saintess exhaled softly.
“Very well, let us speak frankly. —My lifespan… will last but a few more years.”
“Wha—WHAAAAAT?!”
“A disease where the magic power within my body solidifies, eventually turning my entire body into a statue.… Read more

“N-No way! Yuzuriha-san fought just as hard against the Ogres! And during the coup, she was the one who drew their attention!”
Desperately trying to downplay my role, I glanced at Yuzuriha-san—only to see her grimace as she leaned in to whisper something in my ear.
“This Saintess, just like Tōko, has a sharp tongue. That much they share—but her elder sister’s even worse.”
“Yuzuriha, I can hear you, you know?”
“Uh, w-well, it’s clear you two get along.”… Read more

“By the way, Toko. Since we’re on the topic, there’s something I want to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“I heard you’re planning to move the royal capital to the Lohengrin Margrave’s territory in the future.”
Toko blinked in surprise.
“I haven’t told anyone about that yet—oh wait, there was one person. Did you hear it from the Duke?”
“Technically, it was from the butler Sebastian.”
“Well, yeah, that’s the plan. Though I have no idea how many years it’ll take.”… Read more

Later, as the two continued talking, a soft knock interrupted them. Yuzuriha tilted her head.
“Who is it?”
“Ah, that’s me. Come in.”
“…Mm.”
The one who entered was Kanade, Suzuha’s older brother’s maid. Alone.
“Did you tell Suzuha-nii?”
“No. A maid should never trouble her master.”
“I see.”
The reason Toko wanted to speak directly to Kanade—without Suzuha’s older brother’s present—was that the topic might make her hesitate if he were there.… Read more

The moment Toko-san arrived, I was summoned immediately for some reason.
“Hey, Suzuha-nii, what the hell is going on here!?”
“……Meaning?”
“Three countries we don’t even have diplomatic relations with suddenly requested to become our vassals!”
“Huh?”
Not understanding, I asked for details.
Apparently, Toko-san had been troubled by three minor nations.
Though small in territory, they were home to influential tribes or rare specialty goods, making them targets of repeated diplomatic overtures by past kings—all of which were flatly rejected.… Read more
