Saint Sophia was clad in her usual pure white nun's clothes, but her face was bright blue and her jade-colored eyes were wide open.

　Sophia's eyes were sharply staring at Arte and the others, tinted with a burning fury.

''I didn't know you were this stupid, Arte-san,''

　However, the words didn't seem to have reached the ears of the wise Alte.
　Arte's eyes lit up and he looked bright with a puff of light.

''Saintess!　It's good to see you again!

I wish I could say I was happy. It's a good thing that I'm happy too, because Arte-san loved me. But...I will not forgive you if you try to hurt Solon-kun by causing Lailen Remilia-san a serious injury like this.

　As soon as she said it, Saint Sophia grabbed the yew's staff and jumped forward.

　Pointing her staff at Arte, Sophia said, "Lord, you are my shield and my sword. Lend me strength, a sinner! And chanted a church-style attack magic.

　However, aiming for the gap between the chanting and the activation of the magic, the twin swordsman Karelia stepped forward and swung her sword, trying to catch Sophia's staff in its blade.

　Karelia's aim was off.
　Those two swords were bounced back.

　It was because I stood in front of Sophia and received Karelia's slash with my treasure sword tetracord.

　On the other hand, the attacking magic chanted by the saint Sophia became a large white light vortex and was falling towards Arte from the sky.

　Arte, perhaps deciding that he couldn't support it alone, he and his twin sister, the astrologer Flora, held their hands up towards the sky and tried to catch the attack.

　The sage Arte managed to hold his ground, but Flora was blown away by the attack, unable to withstand it.
　It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get a lot of damage because you were defending yourself, but even so, you were knocked unconscious by the fence of the mansion when it slammed into your back.

　Anyway, I shouted to Sophia.

'Sophia!　If we don't treat Rylen Remilia before the battle, it will be too late!

I know I know I know, but Solon-kun will be killed while I'm using my recovery magic.

　Sophia murmured.
　Saint Sophia is a sorceress with great power, but she's not without her weaknesses.
　There are not a few magic techniques that take a long time to chant and manifest.

　Lailen Remilia was seriously injured, and even if she used the saint's power, it was going to take some time to heal her wounds, and the saint would not be able to use any other magic while she was healing.

　And now that Sophia has appeared here, there's no reason for Arte to hesitate to start the battle any longer.
　If I take on multiple cadres by myself, I'll be killed for sure.

　At that moment, the enemy's twin swordsman Karelia, who had been silent all this time, opened her mouth.

''As long as the Saintess heals Rylen Remilia, we will guarantee the safety of Swordsman Solon.

　Karelia looked at me with serious eyes.
　Apparently, they don't intend to let her die because the mechanic Rylen Remilia is an important asset to the Order.
　In other words, it seemed that the other side had the same problem if they didn't treat Lailen Remilia.

　Sage Arte agreed with Karelia's words with the feeling that it was unavoidable.
　In a manner of speaking, it would be okay to trust her.

　Sophia rushed over to Rylen Remilia and lightly placed her staff on the injured Rylen Remilia's feet.
　Then she chanted a church-style magic chant.

'Our God, have mercy on the wounded. We are all sinners who bear our crosses. Heal him and let him walk in the way of righteousness for Your name's sake.

　Instantly, the air changed.
　A dazzling light enveloped Rylen Remilia, and the scene around her appeared distorted.

　Too much magical power was interfering with the space.
　As expected of Saint Sophia, or should I say Saint Sophia, it's different in rank from the recovery magic I use.

　After about two minutes, Sophia's recovery magic was finally complete.

　With this, Rylen Remilia would at least not lose her life.
　However, recovery magic can't cure all of the injuries, so the rest would be the turn of medicine and pharmacology, and it would be difficult to make Lailen Remilia battle-ready right away.

　Now, the enemy, the astrologer Flora, has already dropped out of the fight.

　That leaves Sage Arte, Twin Swordsman Karelia, and a few other female general group members.

　It looks like a few ordinary group members have been gathered with reasonable ability, and it's troublesome to be surrounded by numbers as a force.

　Me and Saint Sophia stood next to each other, each holding their weapons and facing the enemy.
　Finally, it's time for the decisive battle.

　Now, what should we do?

　For example, it would be nice if our side could prepare many allies to fight back.
　At that moment, a man stood next to me.

"I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble, Master Solon.

　The owner of the voice was Notaras, the summoner who had crawled to the ground after being violently attacked by Arte a moment ago.
　The third and most powerful ally had returned.
　I felt my voice bounce.

'Notaras!　Are you hurt?

'Nothing major. Thanks to Lady Sophia's attack earlier, we were able to regain our poise.

　Notaras smiled at his skinny cheeks.
　The eyes behind his glasses glinted.

''Well, I've been blindsided by a surprise attack, but let's make up for it.

　The summoner Notaras waved his staff and shouted.
