「Are you okay, Rani?」
「I’m not! You had me scared to death! We jumped from that high up, see!」
Rafinha pointed to the Ironblood Chain Brigade ship floating high in the sky above.
「Well, we had to hurry! Besides, that was a good time to drop our luggage, no?」
Looking at Inglis and Rafinha’s exchange, King Charleas let out a laugh.
「Kukuku… unfathomable as always, you never fail to astonish me!」
「Your Majesty! Are you alright? What a marvelous Artifact you have, I would be happy to test it against my…!」
「Come on, Glis! What are you saying when His Majesty is injured!」
「Fuh, someone such as I could never match…you…」
「O-oh no!! His Majesty’s injuries are serious! Rafinha, please use your healing gift!!」
Redas’ face was grim as he asked Rafinha’s help.
「Yes! That said, while I could reattach his arm, his injuries back then weren’t life-threatening like this!」
It was a serious injury caused by a strong impact on the whole body, especially the head. Could she even save him? Rafinha wasn’t confident.
「It’s okay, Rani. Lend me your ear. You see…」
Inglis then whispered something to Rafinha.
「…Mm? O-, oh, I see! Yup, got it!」
After being told by Inglis, Rafinha immediately started the treatment of King Charleas. Leaving that to her would be just fine. Inglis then turned her attention toward the tail of the Dragon God.
「L-, lady Inglis… Do-, do you think he’s been dealt with?」
Inglis calmly shook her head to Redas’ question.
「I don’t think so… If he was someone who’d be defeated over something like this, I wouldn’t have done it. Using the element of surprise to defeat an opponent is nothing but a waste.」
If the fight ended in a surprise attack, then Inglis wouldn’t be able to see her opponent at their strongest, and she would be robbed of the enjoyment of tasting it altogether.
Inglis Eux fought by taking on her opponent’s strongest power and surpassing it. That is, indeed, the best way to grow. No matter the time or the occasion, that wouldn’t change. That would never change…
「I just wanted to greet him whilst also unloading our cargo. I’m sure that he’ll stand back up just fine~」
「OOBBVIIOUSSSLLLYYY!!」
Throwing aside the tail of the Dragon God, Rochefort emerged from below it. His body was covered in soil, but he didn’t appear to have any serious wounds.
「See, perky isn’t he?」
「I-, indeed…? Although, I’m not sure if that’s something to be celebrated…」
「It’s all right. If I can’t defeat a Holy Knight who wields a Hyrule Menace, then I won’t be able to defeat Prisma either. I can’t ask less for an opponent to test this sword upon… fufufu~」
Inglis’ gaze fell to the sword she forged from the scales of Vufailbane the Dragon God. It was a long, sturdy sword, much taller than even her height. With a delightful smile, she stroked the blade of it lovingly.
It had been a while since she made this, and finally, the time to use it had come. How could she not celebrate it!
「Kukuku… Only an utter fool or a lunatic would smile so delightfully in the face of a weaponized Hyrule Menace! Speaking of which, who are you, lovely young lady?」
「Ah, I’m sorry for not introducing myself faster. I am Inglis Eux! Honorary-c̲u̲m̲-Temporary Emergency Acting Commander of the Imperial Guard… or a Squire student of the Knight Academy scheduled to assume that position.」
Inglis then curtly bowed to Rochefort.
「A Squire?」
「Yes, as you can see for yourself.」
Saying that, Inglis then showed her bare right hand to Rochefort, letting him see the lack of a Rune on it.
「A Runeless? No, that matters not. For the beauty of your stature to be able to strike me with such a gargantuan ingredient from the sky is a testament of strength!! It honestly shocked me. I am Ross Rochefort, the Knight in charge of the Hyrule Menace in my motherland Venefique. Pleased to make your acquaintance.」
Not to be daunted by Inglis, Rochefort returned a polite bow.
「Oh my, how polite~ I never thought I would be able to fight a weaponized Hyrule Menace in a place like this! And for that, you have my gratitude.」
「Hou? That’s the first time I received a thank you. The people of your country tend to say it’s outrageous to bring out the true power of the Hyrule Menace into a fight between people, you see? King Charleas, the Holy Knight, your Hyrule Menaces, everyone!! And yet, is it okay for miss Honorary-c̲u̲m̲-Temporary Emergency Acting Commander of the Imperial Guard to endorse it?」
He went out of his way to address Inglis with the stupidly long title Inglis had prepared. What an interesting man.
「I am a part-timer, see. My only duty is to subdue strong enemies that threaten Charalia. Why would it be strange to be thankful to someone who practically provided this title for me? Had you been able to fulfill your duty and defeat Prisma, I would have been left with nobody to fight. It is only because of your actions that I have been gifted the opportunity to fight both you and Prisma. A sword made to protect can only weep if there’s nothing to protect against.」
「A sword made to protect, eh? For that part, why do I see that jovial gleam on your eyes and smirk on your lips? It seems to me you only wish to fight to fulfill your own pleasures.」
「Fufufu… I can’t exactly deny it either…」
「Look, it’s good to be honest and all, but at least try to deny it… I’m the one who gets embarrassed every time!」1
Rafinha, as she was treating King Charleas, sighed.
1. Sil: Oh I just love Inglis’ craziness.
