No, we're totally f*cked. It's no wonder that they are no match for you. I'm confident in my skills, and I've always been a good fighter, but the world is a big place.

　The female knight carried her spear on her shoulder and began to speak very openly, a change from the twitching atmosphere she had earlier.

It's true, Seya-san is amazing!　It's so, so awesome!
　Uzuki, who has been freed from his gold bondage - maybe because he wanted to make up for being scared of me - is praising me with more fervor than usual.
　He's trying so hard and it's kind of cute.

Haha, I guess so, as if they didn't take me seriously. I guess there's always someone better. I'm really sorry for trying to test you against such a master of the game. Can you forgive me?
I don't forgive you, because even you say so, you didn't give a tenth of your ability. Well, that was just a light-hearted greeting for both of us to know each other.

Oh, man, this is really a total loss-- well, I guess I didn't get to introduce myself.
　Saying, the female knight straightened herself up on her horse with a swoop.

'Atay is nai'a - nai'a Delacroix. You can call me Nair. You will find that you will be able to get the most out of this article. It's nice to meet you.
I'm Seiya Manashiro. Mr. Delacroix, it's nice to meet you too.

I'm on duty as a member of the Order of the Resident Guard so, Sayre. Didn't I tell you to call me Nia?
Oh, okay, okay, nai'a, nai'a.
Whoa, what's the matter, Seya, you're embarrassed?　It's like a different person from the supernatural figure you had earlier. You have a surprisingly cute side to you.

No, it's not normal for me to be embarrassed... well, I mean, Nia and her friends are all dressed up in such erotica and glamour.
　I've gotten used to talking to girls, but this outfit is really not appropriate.
　It's hard to find a place to look - really, it's not hard - but at any rate, it's normal to see a lot of things and it's awkward.

It's a good thing that you're a boy. It's a bit of a pity that he's dressed like this.
'That's part of it, but I guess the other thing that bothers me personally is that it looks a little less defensive.

This equipment is an imitation of the legendary saint who was called the holy virgin. If a pure maiden who aspires to be a warrior wears this equipment, she will receive a protection from the holy virgin called the 'Blessing of Salvation'.
Protection against--?
　Some kind of cheat...?

''It's many times more defensive than equipping normal armor, and it also greatly improves my physical abilities. I'm sure you'll be able to use the A-class defensive protection completely. So, just give me a little slack.
You dress like that for a good reason.

　It made a great deal of sense.
　That already convinced me greatly.
　Apparently, this is a much nastier - or more wonderfully otherworldly - world than I ever imagined!

'Well, from the side, she's just an erotic armor. Really, why did the saintly lady dress up in such an erotic outfit?　Hahaha!
No, you don't have to do that yourself.

'But Sayre prefers this to regular armour too, right?　Oh, now, why don't you tell your sister the truth?　I know exactly where you've been looking, okay?
　

　And then Naiya smiling at me like that, she's like a caring older sister with a caring older sister's skin, yes, she's my favorite type.......!

　Moreover.

Mr. Sayre (uzuki)
Manashi.

　And now Naiya has called me by my name, "Seya"...!
　I'm steadily stepping up in popularity...!

'You know what?　Nia Delacroix!　I know!
　Uzuki raised his hand as he jumped up and down lightly.

''This is Naiya Delacroix, a.k.a. 'Naiya the Flashlight'!
　A part of my eighth grade mind responded with a jerk at those words.

"'Flashing Naiya'........?

''Yes, he's the one who is said to be the strongest of the A-class Imperial Knights in existence, and is said to be as close as possible to the only five S-class knights in the past!
　Uzuki is excitedly talking about it.

　It's refreshing to see a relatively calm Uzuru reacting like this.
　I guess that's how famous Naiya is.

Haha. Well, you can be called by two names like that. Personally, I'm a little embarrassed by it.
　In contrast, Naiya is a bitter smile.
　She seems like a naughty older sister who wraps everything up in her arms, but yes, her roots may be surprisingly pure of heart.

The story of how she single-handedly defeated five A-class demons that crossed the border along the southern border is well known even on the frontier!　I'm very surprised that the Flashing Nair, whose name is known throughout the Empire, is in such a remote area!

　Ehehe, I got to shake your hand, Uzuki is so excited to say.
　It is said that he is known throughout the empire, and his fame as well as his skill must be quite high.

I'm sure he has a lot of fame as well as skill," said Uzuru, "but a lot of things have happened. I'm going to be staying for a while. What's your name?
My name is Sakurai Uzuki!

Uzuki, that's a pretty name. It's nice to meet you. So, is Uzuki your girlfriend?
'Heh?　Oh, no, I mean!　I'm not afraid of that!　Compared to Mr. Sayer, I'm no good at all!

What, no?
　Nia, why do you look so disappointed there?

'Yes, yes, no... oh, no, no, it's not different, but, you know, in the future, I mean, in the future...'
Oh, yeah, yeah.
　This time, Naiya says and starts grinning.

I don't want to talk about me anymore!
Well, now that you mention it, it bothers me even more.

　Despite being completely different types, Uzuki and Naiya seemed to get along with each other in some way, but they got on well with each other through girl talk.
　On the other hand, Hajduki was completely shy and hid behind me.

　As for me, while Uzuki and Naiya were getting excited about something mysterious, I was thinking about an important point.
