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

Upon returning to the Duke Sakuragi’s main residence to report the incident with the evil serpent, the head butler was utterly astonished.
“S-So, you’re saying you defeated the legendary Jörmungandr—!?”
“Ah, so that’s its name?”
According to the butler, the legend had been dismissed as too fantastical to be taken seriously, and there had never been any reliable eyewitness accounts.
“And were you injured?”
“Not at all.… Read more

11 (Toko’s Perspective)
Late at night at the Sakuragi Ducal House.
Toko entered the head of the family’s study at an even later hour than usual and let out a deep sigh as soon as she slumped into a chair. Toko wish Suzuha-nii would at least give me a shoulder rub or something, she thought.
The Duke of Sakuragi, who had entered after her, handed her a cup of hot tea, which she took a sip from.… Read more

“—Well, foreseeing this, I did prepare swimsuits. Enough for all.”
With Yuzuriha-san’s save, the girls went to change.
Being a guy, I finished quickly and waited—it’d be rude to enter first.
When they finally emerged from behind the rocks—
“S-So, Big Brother…… How do I look……?”
With those words, the first swimsuit Suzuha tried on was… how to put it? Extremely risqué.
A blue bikini—fine. It matched Suzuha’s hair color.… Read more

The first hunting site was a rocky mountain near the ducal estate.
Following the map’s markings, I scaled the sheer cliff face—and sure enough, a cockatrice was waiting at the top. The map’s accuracy was a lifesaver.
Peeking from behind a rock, I saw the cockatrice standing alone, unaware of my presence.
If I had to describe its appearance, it was like a giant, ugly chicken.
“Big Brother, can I hunt this one?”… Read more
