"Uncle Daibun, where has my sister gone?"
"Your sister? I think she might return tomorrow or the day after. She had some business to attend to and went out for a while."
"I see."
"Why do you ask?"
"No reason, I just haven't seen her since yesterday."
Adriana casually exchanged these words as she held the laundry basket and hung the clothes on the line outside. Other club members who were free at the time also helped Adriana with...

Ellen and Charlotte returned to the Imperial Capital.
Ellen asked what they should do with Lydia Schmitt's corpse, but Charlotte insisted that they must take it with them as evidence.
The discovery of the missing person from the temple in the Epiax Fortress was a very serious issue, regardless of the truth of the case, and it could not be anything but a piece of evidence.
Acquiring a wooden coffin at a midway stop, they placed Lydia Schmitt...

Lydia Schmitt stared wide-eyed at the sword of Ellen, which was embedded in her chest.
"What... how...?"
Awakening as a Swordmaster during a battle.
It was an unbelievable feat, yet someone had accomplished it right before her eyes.
She hadn't expected an easy fight and had even resorted to using the life-consuming power of Berserk.
Lydia had thought such occurrences only belonged in stories.
But the reality unfolding befo...

Daytime.
Lydia Schmitt was retreating.
Charlotte and Ellen were slowly approaching Lydia Schmitt.

Lydia didn't know the situation. She recognized the princess's face, but not Ellen's.
However, she knew that they were Reinhardt's classmates. The two of them had appeared unexpectedly at the Vampire Council.
Lydia's mind was racing.
She couldn't figure out why these two had come to Epiax or wha...

All the efforts to find Akasha had been in vain, for it had already been in my grasp.
It was only then that I could finally understand everything.
Why there had been only one mage in Cantus Magna.
What kind of deeds the surviving Valier from the original work had done.

If I were to fail to fulfill my destiny, the despair and betrayal I felt on the day when my son, who was to inherit the task of completing humanity's extinction, struck me down and broke my horn was indescribable.
Still, perhaps he could not bear to kill his mother, for after breaking my horn, he banished me from the Darklands.
The hornless demon king lost all her power. I could no longer control the demon race, and they no longer followed me.

The Archlich, who had lost the ability to continue fighting, let out a low chuckle as he lay defeated.
"I will give you Akasha, Antirianus."

At Archlich's words, the smile on Antirianus's face grew even more intense.

"We must flee!"
Eleris's cry snapped me, the Archduke, and Harriet out of our stupor.
Yes, escape.
If any of the falling meteors were of a seriously colossal size, we would have to worry about a planetary-scale catastrophe. However, even if they were not that large, it was clear that a tremendous disaster would sweep away everything in its path.
Where to escape and how to do so?

I was so astonished that Luna Artorius, who had always been like an impenetrable wall and somehow seemed inhuman, let go of the hand grasping my collar in surprise.

Luna's swing of her Moonlight Crescent Blade collided with the blue magical sword summoned by Eleris.
"…!"
However, just by touching it, the moonlit blade shattered Eleris's blue magical sword.
It was difficult to accept the fact that Eleris was an Archdemon, but what I saw was that Eleris was not only skilled in magic but also excelled in close combat.

There was no need to light a fire. After all, everyone in the room was a mage capable of summoning light on their own.
The dungeon exploration had been long, and everyone took turns to rest in the available space, spending a day doing so.
