Epilogue
In a windowless office, Norman faced two women.
Sphere Hamish.
She had the same hair and eye color as Norman, wearing glasses – the chief of the Cartesius Balldlum branch.
Behind her stood Iris Norton, a woman in a black suit with black hair. She was an intelligence officer who mainly scrutinized and collected information on the Unlaws within the city, also serving as Sphere’s secretary.
“Well then, how are you feeling?”… Read more

My territory, the Margraviate of Lohengrin, is already quite remote, but the “Valley of Maids” Kanade spoke of was on another level entirely.
For hundreds of kilometers in every direction, there wasn’t a single human settlement.
“Why would you train maids in such a backwater…?”
“Maids are shadows. Unknown, unknowable. That is the homeland of maids.”
“But last time, you told me about it pretty casually…?”
“Because you are the Master.… Read more

These days, robot vacuum cleaners are getting pretty advanced, but they’re still just flat disks, and I wasn’t about to let them take over my job. For now, there was still demand for what I did.
“…Alright. That should do it.”
Looking over the cleaned-up clubroom, I muttered to myself with a sense of accomplishment.
It wasn’t exactly sparkling, but it was more than good enough for regular use.
Apparently, the Drama Club mostly used the practice spaces and performance hall in the main building, so they didn’t often come to their clubroom.… Read more
“Whoa! Miki, you use light magic? That’s awesome. It’s rare, you know.”
“Really? It’s rare?”
“Yeah, not many people can use light for offense. Light’s the fastest among attack magic. If you master it, it’ll be insane.”
“Fufufu. I’ll master it!”
For some reason, Regress and Sakuragi seem to get along really well. Regress also seems knowledgeable about magic, giving Sakuragi advice on how to fight as a mage. Sakuragi seems frustrated that she only knows the basic light attack magic she learned at the Sky Temple.… Read more
“W-well, damn… The Guardian Dragon herself showing up as backup…?”
“His Majesty must be that serious about eliminating Helheim.”
“Still, her entrance could’ve been a little less destructive…”
“No kidding, my heart almost stopped.”
Watching her party chuckle, Artel slumped her shoulders. The tension from earlier had evaporated—along with her resolve.
A Guardian Dragon versus humans? This wouldn’t even be a fight.
She cast a pitying glance at the three members of Helheim.… Read more
“Generally, it’s said that forming a contract with one drives you insane. So maybe those with strong mental resilience are qualified to form contracts?”
“…………”
Is my mind that resilient?
If anything, every time it seems like my lack of a spirit contract might be exposed, my stomach twists in knots. I don’t think I’m that strong…
“I don’t think it’s that simple. There’s probably something more fundamental…”
Lily shook her head at Gareth’s suggestion.… Read more
“In that case, Your Imperial Majesty, may I present the reparation demands from our side that the Duke of Ornaments must meet?”
“…Very well, I shall receive your official proposal.”
“Rest assured, while there were indeed faults on our part in imposing upon the palace, my demands will be reasonable in light of you graciously overlooking that transgression.”
While Feiyu offered Klaus a serene smile, inwardly Zervis was likely feeling anxious, though not overly apprehensive.… Read more
Chapter 2: Yufia Queensroad
Magical education institutions, known as “magic academy,” taught sorcery over six years of elementary division followed by three years of middle division, with children enrolling at the age of six.
Yufia Queensroad attended one such school一the Terence Magic School.
Unlike Crawford Magic Academy, where she currently studied, Terence did not divide classes based on academic ranking. Instead, students were reassigned each year to ensure each class maintained a balanced overall performance.… Read more
When Izumi left the classroom, he nearly bumped into a small figure in the hallway.
“Ah!”
“Oh, sorry—wait, huh? Nanao?”
Yes, it was Nanao.
She seemed to have come over from the neighboring class just to hang out.
“Oh, Izumi-kun! Where are you headed?”
“Ah, well… Akeboshi asked me to show her around the school.”
“Akeboshi?”
Nanao looked puzzled and turned her gaze. When she spotted Akeboshi, she recalled what happened that morning.
“Ah, is she the returnee student Sato-kun mentioned earlier?”… Read more
The morning facility tour ended, and lunchtime arrived.
We had about two hours of free time to eat and relax.
Afterward, the kids could return to the training fields, head to the dorm rooms, or visit the observation deck—whatever they wanted.
Though they were supposed to stick with their groups, none of the children minded.
If anything, they were thrilled at the chance to eat with Excia, the Winged Guardian, and eagerly headed to the cafeteria.… Read more
