Volume 4, Chapter 6: Theiamillis' Blue Knight
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Part 1
Wednesday, November 11th
The culture festival continued for two days and ended without any troubles.
This of course included the drama club's play, 'The Silver Princess and the Blue Knight'.
The play received high praise, especially Harumi who played the Silver Princess.
Because of that, it was decided that they would continue it next year.
Yurika was able to safely return the Hercules Beetle to its original owner.
But it seemed that Yurika had gotten deeply attached to Hercules and parting from him was hard on her. She spent several minutes crying afterwards.
After the battle during the party, Clan didn't appear in front of Koutarou and the others again.
Although they had remained on guard for a while after that, the Blue Knight detected a large-scale space distortion.
According to the Blue Knight's analysis, it was the Hazy Moon leaving Earth.
If the Blue Knight's analysis was correct, Clan had left Earth and returned to Forthorthe.
Thus, Koutarou and the others were able to return to their everyday lives, and the battle for the small room would probably continue, but Koutarou oddly enough felt that was for the best.
That was probably because Koutarou had begun accepting the invading girls, but he wasn't mature enough to admit it.
But not everything had returned to normal.
Without anyone realizing, a gradual change began.
Room 106 was quiet during the night.
Although Koutarou rolled around while sleeping, he wasn't snoring or sleep talking.
Apart from the sound he made when he rolled into something, the only thing that could be heard was the ticking clock and Koutarou's breathing.
And the other two were sleeping in their own places:
Sanae in the ceiling, and Yurika in the wardrobe.
Because of that, room 106 was quiet enough to hear the grass blowing in the wind.
It was a calm autumn night.
The change in the room was so gradual it could hardly be noticed.
Normally the time would peacefully pass until dawn with only the ticking of the clock and Koutarou's breathing.
But not today.
As the clock's hand pointed to two, the wall furthest into the room began glowing.
The first thing that happened was a leg stepping out from the wall.
It was a mysterious sight, almost as if someone was on the other side.
And after the leg covered in stockings confirmed its footing, it returned back through the glowing wall.
The next moment, a girl wearing a pure-white dress came out from the wall.
“...”
After coming out from the wall, the girl looked at her footing.
After confirming that the only thing there was a tatami mat, she dropped her shoulders with a relieved expression.
“...Your highness.”
Next, another girl, dressed in a military uniform came out from the wall.
She did the same thing as the first girl and looked down on the ground to confirm her footing before revealing a relieved expression.
“To think I'd have to worry about my own vassal’s sleeping posture...”
“There's no other way, your highness. We can't simply step on Satomi-sama right now...”
Of course, the two girls that had come out from the wall were Theia and Ruth.
“That's true.”
The two of them laughed to one another in a quiet voice and approach Koutarou who was leaning against a wall.
However, something about the two of them was strange; they were both wearing more luxurious clothing than normal.
Although Theia's dress was white as always, it had an obvious formal design to it.
On top of that, she had more accessories on her than normal, and the tiara on Theia's head was packed with jewels that seemed to be worth billions.
The military uniform Ruth was wearing was different from normal as well.
The uniform had elegant colors with plenty of decorations; it prioritized design over mobility, and was intended for ceremonies.
And what was stranger than the clothing was that she was holding a sword in her hand.
She held the sword, which had a similar design to the sword that Koutarou had broken, close to her chest.
Once they reached Koutarou, they lined up and sat down beside him.
“He's just sleeping without a care in the world... he doesn't even know what's about to happen...”
“Then we can just do it boldly in the day.”
In order not to wake up Koutarou or Sanae, they whispered to each other.
“I'll pass on that.”
Theia shook her head. Her dress and accessories began shaking as well.
Her overly luxurious dress made it even harder for her to move around in the small room.
“Because of the circumstances, this is a good trade-off...”
“Fufufu, oh your highness...”
Ruth's body bent over as she tried to hold in her laughter.
“Quiet down, Koutarou will wake up.”
“Y-Yes... then let's finish up our business.”
“Yes, we should... Ruth, give me Saguratin.”
“Here, your highness.”
Ruth pulled out the sword she had been carrying.
The treasured sword, Saguratin.
It was the sword that had been given to her at birth and her crest, a golden flower, had been carved into it.
“Your highness.”
“Yes.”
After receiving the sword from Ruth, Theia turned back to Koutarou.
“...Koutarou.”
And as Theia smiled, she started whispering to Koutarou.
“You have served me splendidly when the second princess Clariossa appeared. I am deeply grateful for your actions that have protected me from danger. Normally, I would like to grant you with whatever you wish, but since I am travelling I cannot.”
As Theia said that, she grabbed the sword with both of her hands.
“So as a proof of my gratitude, I will grant you the rank and title of a knight. But you wouldn't be pleased if I treated you as my vassal. That's why I have come at this late time with Ruth as the only witness.”
Theia continued gently whispering, but she was a little saddened since she wanted to do it face to face.
“...Forgive me, Koutarou. I don't know any other way of showing my gratitude. You can laugh at me for being a sheltered princess if you like. I didn't know any other way of living until I came here.”
Theia revealed a lonely smile, and she gently put the flat part of the swords on Koutarou's shoulders.
“Don't move right now, Koutarou. If you do I may hurt you...”
First the right, and then the left; that was the traditional order when bestowing the knight’s rank to someone in Forthorthe, and finally the rank and title of the knight was conferred.
“...Satomi Koutarou. Theiamillis Gre Masteil Sagurada von Forthorthe bestows upon you the title and rank of a knight and the title of 'Theiamillis's Blue Knight'.”
Waiting for Theia to finish speaking, Ruth presented the sheath to her.
“...Your highness.”
“Yes.”
Theia received the sheath and slowly sheathed the sword.
“And as an extra, I'll give you this sword as a replacement for the sword you broke. I'll keep it for you, so let me know whenever you need it.”
As Theia said that, she handed the sword to Ruth.
After receiving the sword, she held it with great care. Ruth was incredibly happy right now.
Although it might have been one sided, she was glad that Koutarou and Theia had formed a master and servant bond, and this sword was the proof of that.
To her, there was nothing more valuable.
“Well done, your highness.”
“Yes...”
With that, they had done everything they came to do.
And because of that, their expressions brightened.
“Mmm, Mmm~”
That was when Koutarou's eyelids began moving.
It might have been because he realized Theia and Ruth were there, or it could have been a coincidence.
“Mm~”
When Koutarou opened his eyes he noticed Theia in front of him.
“...Hm? What... is it already time for practice...?”
Half-asleep he had assumed it was time for training.
Theia smiled at him and gently shook her head.
“No. The practice is on hold for a while longer...”
“I see... Fuaaaah, then I'm going to sleep for a while longer... wake me up when it's time...”
“Yes, I will...”
Koutarou fell asleep in an instant.
Theia and Ruth had done everything they came to do, they no longer had any reason to be in this room, but the two of them didn't move.
“...Rest well, my knight...”
“Good night, Satomi-sama...”
Motionless, they simply stared at the first ally, in the true meaning of the word, they had found in the outskirts of space.
Part 2
A short while after the culture festival had ended, a transfer student arrived at Kitsushouharukaze high school.
“So this is the cosplay society...”
The transfer student was a girl.
“It really is a good place to hide your true identity. Well done is all I can really say.”
She was 16 years old, the same as Koutarou and the others, a new first year student.
“I thought she was just a stupid coward, but I should reevaluate my opinion... that or she made a smart friend... either way, I can't be careless.”
As she mumbled to herself, she knocked on the door in front of her.
“I'm coming.”
An answer soon came from the other side of the door.
She then called out to the voice on the other side.
“Excuse me, I would like to join!”
“President! We have an applicant!”
“R-Really!? Are you sure it's not just some other club pranking us!?”
“Just you wait, Yurika... fufufu...”
Her goal was Yurika.
She was going to defeat her and claim the power spot Yurika was protecting for herself.
This girl was one of the enemies that Yurika had stubbornly claimed existed, an evil magical girl.
