You are the winner of the Citadel Arkham Martial Arts Tournament.

　The Lord of Arkham City asks me to stay in Arkham, but I politely decline. 　I didn't belong here. And I'm traveling to expand my horizons. There is little to be gained by staying here.

I had a knighthood and a claim to the realm ready to go: ......

　I thanked the Earl of Arkham for his reluctance and left the city.

"I'm going to miss this.

　And that's the words of Aina, the daughter of a toolmaker who took care of me. Her grandfather also sends his best wishes.

　I have no feelings for Earl Arkham, but not for them. I feel a pang of sadness, but still I am leaving.

　The blind priestess Luna Maria sees you and modestly advises.

Master Will, our journey has just begun. Would it not be good to rest here for a while?

　It was obvious that they were concerned, so I appreciated the sentiment, but there were two reasons why I couldn't stay with Aina and the others.

　The first is that I don't want to bother them. I don't have the money to feed two customers in a tool shop that's still not running well.

　The other reason was that I didn't think staying here would cause any physical trouble for them.
　My arch-enemy, the Zodiac cult, might fall into their hands.
　At this thought, Lunamaria agrees with a stern face.

...... Master Will's guess may be correct. Their clutches are steadily closing in on us. The Order was involved in the recent martial arts tournament.

"Yeah ......

　Involvement means giving my information to confront the female swordsman, Hifune, with my information. Tampering with me during the tournament. And by turning the winner of the last tournament into a demon's vessel, ruining the tournament.

　All of that was a conspiracy on Zodiac's part, but there was certainly an aspect of me that got a lot of people in trouble.

　I had thwarted the Zodiac's evil plan many times, and I was in danger of being killed.
　There's a good chance that Aina and the others will be in trouble if I stay here. So I've made up my mind.

Luna Maria, I will stand up to the Zodiac cult. Aggressively.

　Hearing those words, Lunamaria looked surprised for a moment, but quickly regained her respectful expression and said: "I'm glad you made that decision.

I'm glad of your decision.

　Smiling at the end, Luna Maria. Originally, she had come for me as the savior of this world. She was truly happy to see me finally come to that realization.

　I was awakened to my mission because of the tyranny of the Zodiac cult, but it might also be because of this smile. That's how nice the smile of a Luna Maria is.
