Under the azure sky, the trio caught their breath, the echoes of their victorious battle with the colossal crab still reverberating through the arena. Suddenly, a figure with striking violet tresses emerged, accompanied by Seraphina, Elara and Garrick

"You three," the enigmatic woman began, her voice carrying the weight of authority, "that was an impressive fight. I never anticipated three trainees would face the giant crab. Given your outnumbered situation, I'll accept it."

Wide-eyed, Haruki mustered the courage to ask, "You... You observed us from the very start, didn't you? Through the first two stages?"

Daisy, the Head and Captain of the entire Army, nodded affirmatively. "Yes, indeed. I also noticed Isao's transformation since his defeat. Forgive my oversight. I'm Daisy Lyncfield, Head and Captain of the entire Eldoria Army."

Seraphina chimed in, her voice resonating with admiration, "Daisy-san is renowned as one of the most formidable knights in the Eldoria Empire. She's earned seven titles of Undefeated Knight from legendary duels."

Haruki's eyes widened in astonishment, and he quickly apologized. "Uh-huh... Wait, what?! Sorry for my rudeness. I'm Haruki Kazanarugi. I was summoned here from my world, and I haven't had the chance to become familiar with many faces yet. My apologies."

"I'm Tiriara Haell," Elara added humbly, "just an elf sent by my family for training."

"I heard about your summoning. Will you excuse us? I'd like to speak with Haruki-dono alone," Daisy requested.

As Seraphina and the others departed, Daisy and Haruki engaged in a private conversation. "There's something crucial I need to share, Haruki. Your summoning is of utmost importance. We sought help from individuals from other worlds, and your selection was entirely random."

Puzzled, Haruki inquired, "But why me? Why was I chosen?"

"Our world is on the brink of catastrophe. There's a force of unimaginable power threatening us. Unfortunately, its wielder is struggling to control it. He's attempting to suppress this power, but time is running out. When he's no longer able, this power will surge forth, annihilating everything. That's why we summoned people like you. Haruki, would you be willing to join us, alongside otherworlders, in our fight to save our world? I implore you."

Daisy knelt before Haruki, a gesture that left him utterly astonished. "Huh??!! There are others like me? I thought I was the only one. Well, I will help, but I have one condition."

"Name it. Within our power, it's yours," Daisy assured.

"After we've accomplished our mission, I want to return to my world. You can still summon me back here, but I need a warning so I can prepare. Is that acceptable?"

"A simple request, Haruki-dono. We've accommodated such arrangements before. We have a deal. I look forward to working alongside you," Daisy affirmed, sealing their agreement with a firm handshake.

Afterward, as Haruki reunited with Roderick and Lila, they set their sights on the looming challenge presented by the wolf. With determination in their hearts, they strategized and prepared.

The moment arrived when Kilin pointed towards the surviving pairs, signaling their turn. Together, they faced the Giant Wolf, emerging victorious with only minor wounds. The crowd erupted into cheers, celebrating their triumph. They made their way back to their rest area, hearts ablaze with the promise of future victories.
