This is how I met the bewitching beauty of the elf, but now I was in the middle of a battle.
　That's what the enemy's magic reminds me.

An air cutter called the Wind Blade attacks us. It was defended by Anastasia's defense team.

Now that you mention it, we're in the middle of a battle. Shall we talk about this after the battle, Master Will?

"Master Will wouldn't do that!

　and Lunamaría strikes a holy blow.
　I'll also use my holy shield to strike one enemy and throw it at the other.

"Whoo-hoo!

　The holy shield flies away cheerfully and pummels the enemy with vigor.

'Yeah!　'Don't think that just because you're a damsel that you're weak in the physical arts,'

　You are right, but I am the only one who recognizes her as a maiden.
　To the enemy, she's just a hard metal shield.
　As I was thinking this, Anastasia approached me, releasing a spell.

That's a wonderful shield. Is that the rumored Aegis shield?

It's amazing that you even know my name.

I told you. I know everything about you, Mr. Will.

I mean, you said you were a court magician, how did you know about me?

"Actually, I was traveling around looking for Master Will, and I ran into these guys on the way.

"I see.

　The enemy's arrows come flying in. Anastasia burns it.

"They're a real pain in the ass. We can't even talk. I suppose we'd better kill them all at once.

　And then she chants a spell.
　Meanwhile, her knights in the Kingsguard scramble to protect her.


One for the Master Anastasia!　Everyone, too, for Master Anastasia!


　to protect her, forming a formation with the slogan, "I'm going to protect her.
　Meanwhile, Anastasia chants the ancient magical language.


O wavering power of the starry sea, lend me strength. Exterminate the enemy with a rain of stones!


　The ancient magical language, perfected by a beautiful melody, manifests itself as 'power'.
　Like slicing through the clouds, a stone blazed from space descends and crashes to the ground.
　It's so-called meteo magic, but only the most advanced wizards could use it.

"I'm not as good as Master Will, but I can do this.

　Anastasia smiles, but the power of her meteor is tremendous.
　As it fell to the ground with a roar, the pagans were blown away. No, it blows them away.
　Most of them could have died before the pain, but it seemed a little brutal.

Well, Master Will is kind of you to have mercy on the trash. Later I'll make a grave for them with an ice cream stick so you can have a peaceful mind.

　But as soon as he let go of his words, there was a glint in the dust.
　It seems that there was a survivor.
　The man who seemed to be their leader had put up a defensive position and escaped the difficulty.

　He held up his white blade and attacked Anastasia, but I blocked it with my holy shield and struck her in the back of the head with the hilt of my mithril dagger.

"Well, that's great. After all, Master Will is wonderful.

　I'll be cracking up, and hold my own chest.
　I wonder if I should say thank you. I don't know, but I want to shake her hand.
　To show that I'm not interested in antagonizing the Kingsguard.

Well, shake my hand--

　 Anastasia holds out her right hand to me.
　We shake hands and ask her about the situation.


　The way she greets you with a "thank you" by holding the hem of your skirt is like a lady.

　You look at her lightly, but you notice that Lunamaria is peeved and get to the point.

By the way, Anastasia, I guess you knew about me.

"The strongest child raised by the gods, the one who pulled the holy sword out of a rock, the one who slayed the giants of the city of Northwoods, is famous.

"You're that well known.

"Among us, the Third Konoe Division,

It's local.

Yes, local. In fact, we have been asked by His Majesty the King to search for a certain someone.

"Really. What's he like?

"A child who went missing about fifteen years ago.

"Fifteen years ago--

Yes, that's right. He was the son of Her Majesty's legitimate son, but he became entangled in political strife. One of his maids went to Table Mountain, a neutral zone, to save his life.

Wow, you went to the shelter of the gods.

Yes. But the handmaiden was attacked by assassins on the way and lost her life.

"...... poor thing

What happened to that child?



　It was a mysterious-looking Lunamaría who asked so.
　Anastasia shook her head ruefully.

...... No one knows what happened to His Highness after that. But we have learned that around the same time a god found a baby that was swept away in the river on Table Mountain.

"Wow, what a surprise.

　I say this as if it were someone else's business, and Anastasia can't seem to bear to look at it. She giggles.

　Why am I laughing?　And when I turned to Luna Maria, she was flabbergasted.

"Master Will is a smart man, but when it comes to himself, he's sometimes out of it.

　He was puzzled, but Anastasia will tell you the answer.

"Hmmm, I mean, here's the thing.

　Anastasia and the knights of the Kingsguard crouched before me.

"Your Highness William Alfredo von Midnia, we have been looking for you for the last fifteen years. We invite you to come with us to King's Landing. I beg you to succeed to the throne and lead the land.

"............

　I look behind me, but there is no one there.
　I guess His Royal Highness William Alfredo von Midnia means me.

...... Yeah!

　But their expressions were all serious.
