Epic isekai battle that ended with an aurora adorning the sky, check.

Person who created said aurora screaming her lungs out…

"KEKEKEKE I DID IT!! I DID IT!!! WE DID IT!!"

...and doing so in the place where the massive boss monster she slayed used to be, check. Heh.

Comrades walking towards the rest of the group to celebrate...well, that one is in progress, as we are doing just that right now.

"My King."

"Hm?"

Someone behind me?

A blueish elf...blueish elf...she is calling me King...AH!

Bellary! Of course! It's not like I forgot about her! Not at all!

She is also kneeling again!

"Stand and follow us, Bellary."

"As you wish, My King."

Having waited until I turned around and resumed walking, Bellary stands up and joins us.

Erevain is at my right as always, her now beautiful silver hair...which makes her look simply breathtaking...has yet to return to normal. It seems the duration of her spell is a bit more prolonged than she thought.

Anyways, continuing with our formation, Erevain’s sister, Euphemia is right beside her, followed by a relaxed Kris.

Meanwhile, on my left, there’s Gabrielle and now Bellary who is next to her.

And now that I’m focusing on Bellary again…did you know that her footsteps sound like a mix between breezy and crackling?

Because they do.

Although, that isn’t that weird considering the stormy clouds coming out of her feet.

Wait...does she even have feet?

Now I want to ask her...

"She has feet, dear."

Ooooh! Thanks, Nerinne!

“…”

Nerinne?

"…I am proud of you, Auros. You took that step forward, that takes strength."

What are you saying, darling? I am the protagonist, right? I can't give up that easily!

Heh...I would normally just say that, but that is not the case here.

I don't care if I am saying the same thing again, but it helps me, so please endure it.

Seeing them fight…

Seeing Kris, Erevain, Mika, and the rest fight for their people despite what happened gives me strength.

Seeing Sophie do what she did...inspires me.

After all, she had been dealing with her own burdens since we met back in the village.

I could see it in her eyes…just how she was being eaten from the inside by them.

How they…how they even took her attachment to her very name.

And yet...there she was, screaming that name, screaming that she is here, showing the world not only that beautiful and brave scene, but also that she has stopped running from her past and has embraced both her present and future.

Showing me that...I can do it too.

Our circumstances might differ in magnitudes, yes, but still, that's how I feel.

Because, like everybody else, she really is just like the Knights in the legends and stories of my world.

She gives me hope.

They give me hope.

And you too, my love.

Hearing your voice and knowing that you are here with me heals me.

That is why I can't give up.

That is why I will keep the vow I made to myself in the space between spaces and keep moving forward while carrying that weight, my burdens.

"You...I want to embrace you so much right now, Auros!"

Me too, Nerinne! I can't wait to see you in the castle!

But this chapter of yours and Erevain's route is not finished, right?

"Fufufu~~, indeed. The closing event is coming, dear. But before that..."

We need to share our victory with everyone, right?

"Yes."

Great, because I think Bellary can help with that.

"Let us speak as we walk, Bellary. What is it that you wish to inform me?"

"Yes, My King. We have laid waste to the part of the army that our King entrusted us and the undead that remained have all but vanished thanks to that ancient power."

Says Bellary in that nice but strong feminine voice that she has. By the way, now that the battle has ended and there is more silence, I can notice that there is a light echo to it. It's pretty cool.

"As expected, you have proved yourselves. Thus, as of this moment, you are my Wild Hunt, my Riders of the Storms, my path shall be your path. Let us walk it together."

I glance at Bellary while saying that and she does a respectful nod before…hm?

Did she smile for a moment or was I imagining it...?

"It shall be our pleasure, oh King of Storms."

“Umu.”

I respond with a respectful nod of my own and...wait...where are the rest of the riders? And her horse? Let’s ask her that.

"Now, tell me, where are the other Riders?"

"They are with me, My King. We concluded that only one of us needed to maintain corporeal form."

"Hooh~~, fascinating. Then the rest are in spiritual form waiting to be called, I suppose?"

"Correct, My King."

She nods once again as she says that. Although, her expressions are difficult to read beyond her respectfulness...maybe it’s because her face had been a skull until very recently?

But my instinct is telling me that there is something else she wants to tell me, but she is holding back.

"If you so wish, you can assume spiritual form too. I shall call on you whenever I need your presence."

"...! Yes, My King. I shall take my leave then."

Color me wrong but before she lowered her head in reverence, said that, and disappeared in a humanoid shaped stormy cloud, she showed a clear expression of surprise.

Also, that humanoid shaped stormy cloud just finished flowing into my Ring of Primordial Storms, whose eyes are now glowing as if telling me that my Wild Hunt is this close to me.

Still, I wonder why she wanted to leave.

"It has been a long time since they were summoned into this world and an even longer time since they had flesh. So, she and the other riders probably want some time to process it all. And it’s all thanks to you."

Wait darling...are you implying that I gave them flesh? Aren’t they the ones who did it?

"Fufufu~~ yes, they are. Still, what I am trying to say is that they are most probably trying to get re-accustomed to having a form like that. You did see that Bellary had trouble speaking at first, right?"

Aaaah, ok. I get it. I guess having to relearn how to do all those little things takes time and getting used to. And if that’s the case, could it be that she didn’t want to make some weird expression in front of me?

"Correct, darling."

I see.

Still, I wouldn’t mock her or get angry if that were to happen, but I understand, and I’ll respect their wishes!

With that said...

"They did well, never showing fear even before such a nightmare and then they ended it swiftly. I am proud of them."

I say that while looking at the group of Maid-Knights who are celebrating their victory, and who we are getting closer to.

"Indeed, My Lord. I am glad that they were able to do what they could not five years ago. It brings a true feeling of closure to my heart and I hazard to guess that it is the same for them."

So says Erevain while showing a smile and look that is both proud and warm…and as she glances at me…she captivates me…ah…she really is incredible…Erevain…

But…

"My, it is to be expected. How would we waste a second chance to show ourselves that we can do it? And it makes me quite happy to see that no innocent lives were lost in this battle. That being my one biggest regret from five years ago."

…with an expression of genuine relief as she says that, one that fills her beautiful turquoise eyes, Gabrielle too is…breathtaking. And as her eyes meet with mine, I can see it through them…that strength of hers…the strength needed to be what she is…

Because if being a doctor takes a certain type of person, then imagine what it takes to be a healer, to be someone who literally has the power to save the lives of others…

That very strength…it takes hold of my heart and never lets it go.

"HA! Well, that’s all well and good, but none of this would’ve been possible without our absurd Master! I mean, who would've thought that I’d be able to duke it out with a Colossus! Just imagining what else I can fight now makes me feel pumped!"

Says Kris...oi, what was that part about absurd?

"My, for a moment I thought you were about to say a sensible thing, but of course, you had to ruin it with that muscle brain of yours."

Yeah! Tell her Gabrielle!

"Haa…regardless of that 'absurd' part, I share similar sentiments to those of Kris. We owe this victory to our Master. Without her taking us out of that forest, none of this would have happened. And now that we have finished this, we truly have a future ahead of us."

I...well yes, I took you out of that forest. And we made a pact...but all of you fought...this victory is yours...ah, I'm getting a bit red...

“Oh me, oh my, now that you say it like that, I cannot help but to agree, Leader.”

"Hahaha! You’re so obvious, Gabrielle! You just didn't want to agree with me outright! Hahahaha!"

"Oh, shut it! If you hadn't talked about fighting, I would have agreed with you, Kris!"

Heh, who would’ve thought that seeing these two do their thing again would make me feel this happy. I mean, we’ve only been part of each other’s lives for nearly a month, yet I feel as if it has been longer than that...

Ahh…seriously…I’m totally smiling right now.

“Hehehe…”

Hm?

“…you three never change. Kris and Gab bickering, Elder Sister trying to mediate and failing, and me watching you…it really makes me feel that I am back home.”

Hearing Euphemia’s nostalgic-filled words, Kris, Gabrielle and Erevain chuckle and nod bashfully, as if admitting those charges.

"I guess so..."

Mutters Kris a bit embarrassed.

"My, that might be the case..."

Mumbles Gabrielle a bit embarrassed too.

"..."

Erevain simply smiles.

"Lady Auros."

Lastly, Euphemia has now turned her attention to me.

"Yes?"

I respond with an approachable tone, the same one I used when we met for the first time.

"Please, take care of them. They are important people for me. Also, I entrust my Elder Sister to you. Be sure to make her a happy bride, yes?"

""""...?!!!""""

This girl is blunt!!! Like, really blunt!!! I wouldn't be surprised if her second name was Emily!!

What...? Too normie of a reference? But she has appeared in some nerd films!

"E-Euphy! You cannot just say that! F-forgive her, My Lord!"

Embarrassed Erevain!!!! SO CUUUUUUUTE!! MENTAL SCREENSHOT! MENTAL SCREENSHOT!

Also…PROOOMPT!!

"If that is what she desires, then I shall do so."

How could I not say that when I'm witnessing such cuteness?! And such a good prompt too!

"""...!!"""

And of course, Kris, Gabrielle, and Erevain are completely shocked!

"Fumu, I am glad that we have an agreement then, Sister-in-Law."

"""""....!!!!!!!""""

THIS GIRL!!

__________________________________

After getting flustered by the bluntness of a teenager, we have arrived at the part of the battlefield where everyone else is, and the mood is quite nice.

After all, they are still in the middle of congratulating Sophie.

"Uwaah! You were so cool, Sophie!! Going ‘fwoosh’ and ‘fzzoon’! And so many colors!!"

“Yep! Yep! It was amazing!”

So say Maevis and Gail while enthusiastically acting out the corresponding actions to those sound effects with their arms, all while an almost child-like awe shines through their eyes.

"Kekeke, right?!"

And Sophie does not mind at all, as she is clearly enjoying herself.

*poke*

"Hii!"

Then Lucy enters the scene and pokes Sophie on the sides at the same time, startling her.

"Congratulations, Sophie! What you did was amazing! Be happy!!"

"Then don't poke me!"

"Ahahahaha!"

Heh, that Lucy is always playful.

Hm? Why does Roxxy look like she is about to hit Sophie on the head?

*tonk*

“Ow!”

Aaaand she did it.

“Why did you do that, Roxxy?!"

"If I tell ye again that ye can do something, ye do it. Ye hear?"

Hmm, I guess something happened.

"Keh, yes, yes...I hear you…"

"Hehe, good."

Oh well, whatever it was, it’s solved now since Roxxy is now smiling.

But their little moment ends up being that, little, as the rest of the Maid-Knights start rubbing her head, patting her on the back…

“Listen well and burn it into your mind!♢”

“GAAAHH! STOOOOP!!”

““““““Hahahahahaha!!””””””””

…teasing her about what she shouted, like Lyra is doing, and so on.

They are so into it that they haven't noticed us.

"And I never posed like—!"

Oh, Sophie did and...hm?

"KEKEKEKE, DID YOU SEE IT?! I DID IT MASTEER!! I DID IT!!"

She is jumping at me! Ah! My onee-san senses are tingling! She’s coming for a hug!

""""""...!!!!"""""""

And at the very same time, the rest quickly turn to face me, welcoming me with their smiles while watching this wholesome moment unfold.

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

Here she comes! And since she did a good job, I will catch her in the most rewarding way!

So, I quickly unequip my breastplate with magic, send my holy weapon to my personal space, and extend my arms, leaving myself ready to receive her into my warm and soft embrace!

Come to onee-san, Sophie!! I shall pamper you a bit!!!

*SOOOOOFT* *HUG*

"...!"

Thus, I catch her gently and pull her towards my ample bosom, which surprises her.

"Yes, I saw it. You were truly inspiring, Sophie. You have no idea how much. Very well done."

So I say with my edge alter onee-san tone while fully hugging her. I’m even patting her head.

It feels good to act like a proud onee-san and telling her how I genuinely feel.

"Does that mean...?"

In response, she looks up at me with almost puppy-like eyes as she asks that, and I smile warmly at her before telling her the following:

"Did I not say so right before you did such incredible feat?"

"...!"

"Your hand."

"Keh?"

Having separated from her, I extend my hand to her and ask for hers, which surprises her and paints her eyes with a tinge disbelief that says, ‘is this really happening?’, even after what she shouted.

"Everyone, ceremonial formation!"

"Keh?! What is...? Everyone...?"

And after getting adorably startled by Erevain’s perfectly timed exclamation, our still surprised Sophie can’t help but let out such words as she watches everyone get in said formation.

A formation where they are standing in a horizontal line while raising their weapons and keeping them close to their chest, giving what I’m about to do the official feeling it deserves.

But instead of everyone wearing serious expressions on their faces, they are all smiling proudly at Sophie.

"What’s there to be surprised about, eh? You passed, greenie! And with flying colors, heh!"

So declares Kris while showing a big, proud smile to Sophie, and just like Erevain, she seems to have realized what I am about to do.

"Kris...!"

Aww, she hated her training but look at her now, she is so moved by her instructor's words, and it is through them that she finally accepts that this is really happening.

As such, she quickly gives me her hand and I grab it with care before looking her in the eyes and making a serious expression.

"This may seem as a mere formality since the pact has already been made, and you have rightfully claimed the title."

I put my other hand on top of hers as I continue with the following:

"But this shall make it official."

“Master…”

And Sophie, unable to hold back her feelings anymore, starts to tear up.

As for me…man, am I proud of her.

"Indeed, dear. To think this is the same girl I had to scold every night. She really has walked a long way to finally reach this point and I couldn’t be happier too."

You should tell her.

"Oh, I will, dear. You can be sure about that."

Good.

Oh, Erevain has stepped forward from the formation and is now looking at me as if asking for permission for something, to which I nod.

Even if I do not know what she is going to do.

But my instinct is telling me that it’s fine.

"Our fire is the one that lights the way for a peaceful future.”

And as Erevain starts by saying that, she is followed by…

“A fire that provides warmth in the cold night where all seems lost.”

…Erica…

“One that burns those who seek to harm the innocent and the world.”

…Gabrielle…

“A fire ignited by unbreakable bonds.”

…Kris…

“And our fire will never…abandon you."

…and Luca.

"Will yours?"

Erevain then turns her sword upside down and offers to share it with Sophie, all while asking that with a serious expression.

I see...so this is the oath of the original Knights of the Ever-Burning Will. I guess they all know due to the legends and not just because Erevain really admires them, huh.

"Never."

I, of course, let Sophie go and after drying her tears, she puts her hand on the sword’s handle and declares that with a now unshakable conviction.

Then Erevain turns to...me? Nani?

Wait...she wants me to end it?

But you are the one who knows how to end it! Not me!! Aaaah, but I can't make them wait!

"Fufufu~~."

Don't laugh, you Goddess!!

Ok! Here I go! Don't you fail me instinct, shonen knowledge!

"Then, from this day forth, Sophie Kalphar, you are a Knight of the Ever-Burning Will. May our flames burn together as one!"

So, after walking towards them, I put my hand on the sword’s handle too and exclaim that with as much confidence as I can muster.

Please be the right words. Please be the right words…!

""""""AND THEY SHALL NEVER BE EXTINGUISHED!!"""""

Phew…they were the right words…

Err…I mean, so exclaimed everyone else before storing their weapons, breaking formation, and coming towards us.

Some immediately hug Sophie, while others have started clapping and…oh? The pact crest on Sophie’s neck has started to faintly glow, with a veeery familiar figure appearing from said glow.

And she is now right beside Sophie with a proud smile on her face.

Although, I’m the only one who can see her.

"I am proud of you, Sophie. And I know that your parents would be proud of you too. But most importantly, be proud of yourself. You did this. You arrived at this point by your own choices. Never forget that. Never regret that. I look forward to your future, oh Rainbow Knight. Fufufu~~."

Hearing that lovable Goddess’ words, Sophie's eyes widen, and she looks around for her, but she is nowhere in sight. Thus, she looks at me for confirmation of what she just heard, and from whom, and I nod.

In turn, she looks down a bit, probably embarrassed by that Rainbow Knight title, before looking up again and showing a smile like no others.

One that is filled with true happiness.

“You have surpassed all my expectations, Sophie. And I know that you will keep doing so.”

Says a smiling Erevain as she pats Sophie on her shoulder.

"Of course, Leader! I pro—!"

"Come here!!"

"Keh!!"

And Sophie is more than happy answering to those words, but the moment she does, she is caught from behind by Kris, who is not only hugging her now, but she’s also lifting her with such hug.

"To think you really had it in you! Hahaha! I got to admit it, there were moments I doubted you, but you proved me wrong!! And now look at you! A full-fledged Knight! HAHAHAHA!"

"Can't...breathe...!"

Oi, Kris! You are hugging her too strongly!!

Can't you see it?! She is even trying to free herself from your hug!!

"Aw, don't be like that! Let this instructor give you some love!!"

"Gaah..."

KRIS, HER SOUL IS COMING OUT OF HER MOUTH!

“…”

SOPHIEEEEEEE!!

"Hm? Ah! Sorry, sorry!! I kind of got too into it, hahaha."

You think?!

Also, yes, put her down like that.

“Haaa…haaa…haaaa…”

Let her breathe.

What? Why do I not say or do anything about it? Have you forgotten that I have a character to maintain? Besides, it also helps with my duties as narrator!

Huh? There is another narrator? What are you talking about? Hey, don't just look away and tell me!!!

"My, even for things like this you are brute. Move aside."

"Oi!"

Anyways...

Kris’ complaint from being pushed aside by Gabrielle falls on deaf ears as she ignores her and offers Sophie a hand to help her up.

"Here."

"Thank you..."

"It is of no bother. You are now a fully-fledged member of our Order, of our family. I swear that I will never let you die. Be it inside or…outside of battle."

As expected of someone that is quite honest with her emotions, she means every single word she just said. And yes, I really like that side of her.

"Just like Gabrielle said, Sophie. We got your back."

So says Kris as she rests her right elbow on Gabrielle's shoulder. But most importantly, she has finally called Sophie by her name!

"I...swear that I will do my best too. And...thank you, Kris.”

And of course, she noticed that which is why she is trying to use a more formal tone to thank Kris properly.

“Your training..."

I say try since Kris is starting to smile all smugly because of that. Will Sophie resist feeling annoyed by it and finish her formal thanks?

"Keh! You did help but come on! It was terrifying!!!"

"Pfft...!"

Crap, I almost laughed!

"Fufufufufuhahahaha! Sorry dear, but it is indeed funny, her formal tone lasted quite little fufufufuhahaha!"

Yeah...laugh away while I can't...

"Hahahahaha! But it did help! And that’s all that matters!"

Kris kind of has a point there...

"Sophie..."

Ah, its Luca. She is extending her fist...? Wait is that...?

"Keke, yeah, you don't have to say it. I think the same."

IT IS! THEY JUST DID A FIST BUMP!!

"Good..."

Smiling Luca is kawaii Luca.

"I look forward to working with you, Sophie. I have so many ideas for that skill of yours that I can barely wait~!"

Of course, the one that comes after Luca is Allegra.

Also...she is in her ASMR alchemist mode!

"Keh?! I should be happy, but I have a bad feeling about that..."

Don't worry Sophie, you will not be the test subject...I hope.

"Dog, here. Berry cupcake. I bought them to celebrate your knighting. I am happy for you my cool friend."

Aww, Jules' eyes are shining with friendship as she says that. She is also giving Sophie food.

"Kekeke, thank you Jules. But how did you know I liked berry cupcakes?"

So asks Sophie before giving said cupcake a bite. And yes, they do look like the ones in my former world.

Oh, it seems they are pretty good since Sophie is going ‘yum!’ right now.

"I am a hunter, so I am good at observing. When we went to buy food, you were always glancing at them. So, I bought some when you weren't looking."

Says Jules very proud of herself while giving Sophie the thumbs up.

"Of course, I bought enough for everyone."

With that, she pulled out even more cupcakes from her dress’ storage and started handing them out.

"Here Master."

"Thank you, Jules."

Let's see...YUUMMY!!! SO SOFT AND THE BERRIES ARE SO SWEET!!

"Keh?! Wait! What are you doing?!"

"Up."

"Yep, going up."

"Ehehe, don't worry. We'll catch you!"

Oh! Lyra, Gail, and Maevis caught Sophie off guard, and they are now carrying her with the clear intention of celebrating her knighting by tossing her up in the air. Classic!

"But I don't want to go up!"

"Too late."

"Mhm, too late."

"Up you go!"

"Nooooo!”

And there she goes.

“C-catch me!"

And there they caught her, but it seems they are going to throw her again.

"I am staying with you, Dog. Cat and Dog team forever."

"Count me in, yep."

"Me too, it sounds fun!"

So say Lyra, Gail and Maevis as they throw her again.

"Keh! I don't care, just don't drop meee!!"

Could she be afraid of heights? I mean, she would be ok even if they drop her. Wait, didn't she jump quite the height to attack the monster?

"Dear, your skin is harder than titanotite and yet you are still afraid of needles."

Guh...you are right…

Also, her chant and attack name really were like those of an actual magical girl.

Nerinne, do you have something to say about that?

"Do I whistle or simply evade the question?"

You cheeky Goddess...I’ll have you tell me what you have been doing with her!

"Fufufufu~~~."

Anyways...Lyra did a good job and I think she would make a great addition to the Maid-Knights. What do you think, darling?

"Fufufu~~I agree, dear. She is worthy. Besides, separating those two might be out of our hands now, as she seems to be quite attached to Sophie."

Yes, she is. Then I will make a pact with her when we return to the castle, since doing it here might raise some flags I do not want raised.

"Which flags, dear?"

Ah, you know…the usual isekai things.

Infiltrating the Order for power.

Trying to kidnap someone to get me to make a pact with them by threatening to kill their hostage.

Or my favorite, trying in a very roundabout way to tap into my power without making a pact with me. That one might result in a big boom, so better not try my luck, and raise that flag.

Also, poor Sophie, she has been going up and down all this time.

"Ok. Ok. That's enough, girls."

Oh, it’s Evangeline.

"Ke...thank you..."

"Don't mention it. Now, you got the title. You got us. You got Master. Don't go fucking it up, understood?"

I don't know why, and I know this is random, but I feel that Evangeline would look really good with a beret.

"Yes, I am done...with fucking up for the rest of my life..."

Says the poor Sophie while she still trying to regain her bearings.

"That shitty, huh? Good, that means that you know the true value of all this."

While Sophie only nods at Evangeline’s words in silence, it’s giving me the feeling that Sophie knows exactly what Evangeline is referring to.

In any case, after sharing that little moment, Evangeline lets Sam take it from there.

"I saw you from afar. What you did was truly elegant. Still, that weapon you have...master it. Make it yours. You already have the attitude, so just put in the hard work, alright?"

"Kekeke, you bet. I am not letting this thing think it can go ignoring me ever again. I'll make it work hard for all those years it wasn't of help."

Looking at her now sheathed Rainbow Sword, Sophie says that.

Also, someone is approaching.

"I can see that your private celebrations are going well, my best friend forever~~~."

Geh...its Ludovica...and her Paladin Julian.

"Hey! Don't make that ‘Geh...it's Ludovica' face! We are best friends, right?!"

Crap, she read my mind.

"No, I did not read your mind! I'm your best friend so I can read you quite easily!"

This gal priest...I cannot beat her...

"Haa…is there something you need then, best friend?"

She worked hard, again, so I'll give her some service. Again.

"I was totes about to invite you to the after-battle celebrations now that the camp is ready, and I still am! Everyone wants to see the Maid-Knights and the Villain of Villains, the Nightmare of the Dragon Lords."

Oh, a classic after battle isekai party! Count me in—wait.

"Oi. What is that about 'Villain of Villains' and 'Nightmare of the Dragon Lords'?"

"Those are your titles, my best friend! Everyone agreed after seeing how you look in combat! Also, are you not going to say something about the title of Maid-Knights? It was my idea, and it has become quite popular in the camp."

Oi. OI. WHAT THE HECK?! AND I SPECIALLY WENT INTO THE MIRROR SPACE SO THAT PEOPLE WOULDN'T SEE ME LIKE THAT!! AS IN NOT SEEING ME AT ALL!!

"FUFUFUFUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! THAT’S GOOD, DEAR! VILLAIN OF VILLAINS!! NIGHTMARE TOO!! THEY FIT SO PERFECTLY!! FUFUFUFUFHAHAHAHAHAHA!!"

"Hmph, I already referred to them as Maid-Knights in my mind, so you were not the first. In any case, let us return to the matter of calling me a 'Villain' and 'Nightmare'. Yes?"

"Eeeek! You are making a pretty scary face right now, super best friend!!"

"P-please, Lady Argento! Calm down! You are even scaring me! And as an Exalted Paladin that is not supposed to happen!"

To be continued…(cue illustration of Sophie’s Knighting! Cue bonus illustration of Lyra doing various poses while imitating Sophie and said maid dying from embarrassment!)

Canon Omake #1 “On the way to the camp. Side A.”:

"Dear, are you going to the camp like that?"

Hm? How?

“Look down, dear.”

Ah! I'm still in Underboob King Mode!

Ahaha…I didn't notice since I am too used to being like this.

Thank you, darling. I'll put the breastplate on.

"Fufufu~~, no problem, dear."

Canon Omake #2 “On the way to the camp. Side B.”:

“Maid-Knights…hehe, yes, it was quite obvious that My Lord thought of something like that.”

“Hahahaha! Well, it fits, so I ain’t mad.”

“I like it too! And since Elder Sister and I are matching outfits, it looks like I’m a Maid-Knight too! Just like Elder Sister!”

Having heard Ludovica’s mention of the title ‘Maid-Knight’, as well as Auros’ response, Erevain, Kris and Euphemia said that, with older two smiling at the youngest one.

Nerinne’s Glossary Corner:

*Magical Sword-Girl: Fufufu~, this is a new one! It is the combination of the Magical Girl and Swordswoman Class that can only be obtained by acquiring a certain Blessed Weapon, a Divinely Chant, Special Training, and the will to go through with the transformation. Specially the last one, fufufu~.

**First Magical Girl: This one is also a new one! Both a Title and a Passive Skill, it identifies Sophie as the first in Arte to be recognized by me as a Magical Girl. Its immediate effects are the creation of the Magical Girl Class, an enhancement to all of Sophie’s attributes, the corresponding trance, and my favorite, a change to the Sophie’s attire when using said abilities.

***Recognition and Repentance of the Rainbow Sword: I am sorry, but this one I cannot reveal, as it is not my place to do so. But I can tell you this, the Rainbow Sword is never going to forsake her current wielder, Sophie, and no one will be able to separate them. That is the Rainbow Sword’s will.
