It was when Iris was still a child.
　It didn't matter if it was morning or night. It didn't matter if it was morning or night.
　Because he was a child, he could get lost in anything that interested him.

"Father!　Where are you?

　Iris was running through the house, looking for her father.
　The sun was already setting, but Iris was still moving around, looking for her father, Garlo, who was supposed to have returned.
　Even the servants were familiar with her appearance.
　The young Iris has a talent for swordsmanship. Garlo had approved of it.
　It was precisely because of this that Iris knew from that moment on that she wanted to be a better swordsman than her father.
　The sound of metal clashing reached Iris' ears.
　It was coming from the garden. It must be Garro practicing his swordsmanship.
　Thinking this, Iris quickly runs.

"Father--
Iris!

　As she steps out into the garden, she hears Garlo's voice.
　Garlo moves to protect Iris, and a man behind him brandishes a sword.
　--The next thing you know, Garlot is lying on the ground, motionless.
　When I touched him, I could see the slick, red blood.
　It didn't feel real, and Iris forgot to scream.
　A man stands over Iris, looking down at her.

The man stands looking down at Iris. "You've done a boring thing, showing an opening to protect your daughter.
What, and ......?
Little girl, that man kept you alive. The next time we meet, ...... you're going to have to entertain me, and you're going to have to be strong.

　The man touched Iris' head and smiled at her.
　I can't see his face, but I remember his voice well.
　We talked only a little, but there was no way I could forget. The voice of the man who killed Garlo.
　It wasn't until after the man was gone that Iris let out a cry of grief.
　Since Garlo's death, Iris has changed.
　It doesn't matter if it's a rainy day or a stormy day. She swung her sword with single-minded devotion.
　At the age of ten, she won a swordfighting tournament in which adults also participated.
　She always had two feelings in her mind. To gain the strength to protect others, and to gain the power to exact revenge.
　It's something she's been struggling with for a long time, but when she meets Alta, Iris is able to put an end to her feelings.

　　　I'm sorry.

You are .......
"Do you remember?

　Iris stared at the face of the man - Adil.
　The robe hid his face from view, but his voice made it clear.
　This is the man who killed Garro that day.

"You killed my father, ......!

　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm not sure what to do.
　Iris's face is filled with anger.
　Her whole body overflows with magic power, and the magic power turns into an electric shock.
　The magic of lightning - that is the magic that Iris is best at.

"That's some good magic. I'm sure you can entertain me a bit.
......!
"Iris, calm down.

　Aria stops him.
　But she can't reach him now.
　In her head she knows. If he fights out of anger, Iris will definitely lose.
　Iris knows that even if she fought properly, she would not be able to win.
　That is why Iris once suggested that Aria stay back.
　But now, she is stuck.
　The man who killed my father is right in front of me, and there is no better time than now to avenge him.

"Avenge my father: ......!

　Iris is ready.
　The magic power concentrates in her right arm and a magic circle unfolds.
　We're in a tense situation. It was the moment when they were about to cross swords immediately.

"Iris!
!

　A voice that seemed to shake the air made Iris's body tremble.
　It was not a voice with the usual calm atmosphere.
　It's not just Iris - Adil and even Aria turn their gaze towards the voice.

"Schweizer, Doctor .......

　The expression on his face is somewhat gentle and calm, as usual.
　There was a figure of Arta, standing facing Phis.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm sure that's not why you're here, Iris.
It's .......
It may be impossible to remain calm. It may be impossible to remain calm, but your actions may put someone else in danger, not just you.


"!

　Alta's words made Iris notice.
　It's a good thing that you're not the only one who's in danger if you act inappropriately.
　What Iris has chosen to do is to become stronger in order to protect someone else.
　She chose to come here so that she would not put anyone else in danger anymore.
　Alta's words reminded her of that.

...... I'm sorry, Aria. I'm so upset.
No, it's okay.

　Exhaling heavily, Iris looked at Adil again.
　The anger wasn't completely gone - but he was able to look at the other man calmly.

I think I would have enjoyed the beastly look you had earlier.
I'm sorry, but I'm not here to entertain you.
"Well... Fis.
Yes.

　As if following Adil's words, Fiss draws his sword.
　Iris and Aria brace themselves, but no attack is forthcoming.
　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

I'm here on business.
I'm here on business, too. I'm here on business too. Iris Reinfell: ...... I'll kill you here.

　The goal is to split up Iris and Arta.
　I can't go back and meet up with Arta anymore - or so I thought.

"You think a wall of thread can stop me?
"Yes. Well, at least no one has ever gotten through it. Why don't you give it a try?
I will.

　Alta moves without hesitation.
　I can feel the absolute confidence in her words - she's probably going to fight while protecting Iris.
　But Iris can see that, too.
　But she also knows that if she's going to take on these two swordsmen, it's not safe for her to do so while protecting them.

Please wait. You'll have to deal with that woman.
What?　What are you--?

　Arutha looks at her.
　The expression on Iris' face is different from before.
　It's not filled with anger, but with a determination to fight.
　I've come here not only to be protected, but also to fight to protect those who may be sacrificed in the future.

I'm here too.

　As if in response to Iris, Aria followed suit.
　For Alta, Iris alone is probably not enough.
　Aria, too, is here with the resolve to protect Iris.
　So for now, I accept it. We'll fight Adil together.

Are you done?　I'm not going to wait for you. Let me have at least a minute of your time.
"One minute.

　In Iris's right hand, the magic power concentrates again.
　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

You can find a lot more information on this at .......

　Adil also seems to have noticed.
　The name of the sword is "Shiden" - it was left behind by Garro Reinfell.

I swear before this sword now. I will defeat you as the Princess of the Sword.

　With that declaration, Iris wore the purple lightning.
　Aria also takes up her sword. The two of them stood side by side in front of Adil.
　Adil also smiles at the two of them.

Adil smiles at them. Come on!

　That was the signal for the war to begin.
