“Is there really nothing but flowers blooming in your head, you idiot?” the Witch of the North cursed with her face bright red.

As Lulurun realizes she’s hugging a half-naked Witch, Lulurun quickly releases the hand holding her.

“Ahhhhh, I’m sorry!! I got so fired up,” Lulurun said.

“Pushy bastard,” the Witch muttered as she looked away and continues the conversation. “Are you serious about what you just said?”

“I only talk about serious things,” Lulurun said.

“I mean, it’s all a very beautiful thought,” the Witch of the North said.

“I’m a sucker for beautiful things,” Lulurun said.

“You’ve got the worst taste,” the Witch of the North said.

“I know, but I want you to believe me, I’m serious,” Lulurun said.

At that, the Witch of the North gently sinks her head into Lulurun’s chest. Both couldn’t decide what to do with their hands.

“What happened?” Lulurun asked.

“I don’t know,” the Witch of the North said.

“Do you believe me?” Lulurun asked.

“…”

From not knowing what to do, the Witch of the North puts her hands behind Lulurun’s back and gently hugs her.

“I don’t believe you,” the Witch of the North said.

“I don’t mind,” Lulurun said.

“But,” the Witch of the North stares up at Lulurun’s eyes, “I don’t believe you, but I want you to see it through.”

Despite the attitude, Lulurun felt surprised.

“I’ll have a front-row seat to watch your pretty face fall to despair,” the Witch of the North said.

“Okay, then,” Lulurun said.

“You, tell me your name,” the Witch of the North said, closing Lulurun’s mouth with her finger.

“My name, yeah, I didn’t tell you,” Lulurun said.

“Isn’t it a problem if you don’t know the name of your future spouse?” the Witch of the North jokes and smiles.

“No, I’m not going to marry you,” Lulurun said.

“Alright, your name,” the Witch of the North said.

“Umm… Lulurun,” Lulurun said.

“Wrong!” the Witch of the North yelled.

“Huh?”

“Your real name,” the Witch of the North said.

“What? How do you know that?” Lulurun asked.

“Intuition,” the Witch of the North said.

In the face of such a terrifying gut instinct, Lulurun reveals her real name.

“Yokoi Keisuke, that’s my real name,” Lulurun said.

“Keisuke… Keisuke, huh?” the Witch of the North said, repeating it several times as if to make sure.

“Now, your turn,” Lulurun said.

“Sakurai Nia,” the Witch of the North said. “That’s my real name.”

“Sakurai Nia?” Lulurun asked.

It’s a kind name, contrary to Nia’s image.

A kind name…

Lulurun is uncomfortable with the implications.

“Our names are similar, aren’t they?” Nia asked.

“That’s right, but…” Lulurun said.

“I don’t know if that makes sense, I am a native of this world, I don’t even know about your world, Keisuke, but this was the name I was given when I could remember,” Nia said.

“Didn’t your parents give you your name?” Lulurun asked.

“Maybe not,” Nia said, “my parents aren’t my biological parents.”

“Huh?”

“They said I was abandoned and that my name was attached to me,” Nia said.

“Then in that case… Nia it is,” Lulurun said.

And when the two looked at each other.

“!!!”

Nia and Lulurun notice something strange simultaneous and look out.

“Is it the barrier?” Lulurun asked.

“The barrier has been lifted…” Nia said.

The high-level barrier that Nia had put on her territory has been lifted. The boundary of the barrier is the strongest possible defense in this world, and it was easy to invade for Lulurun, but it is usually tough to breach, and in order to bring it down entirely, it is necessary to offset it with even higher level wards.

“It’s quite a feat to bring it down, isn’t it?” Lulurun asked.

“It’s the Knights of the Holy Empire, right?” Nia asked.

No way, it’s too early, Lulurun is upset by the unexpected movements of the Knights of the Holy Empire.

“They’re sooner than I was told, aren’t they?” Nia asked.

“Even then, it’s too early for them, they shouldn’t have left to sortie yet!” Lulurun said.

""

“I wonder if you were deliberately misinformed?” Nia asked.

Lululun saw, that’s why she was given information by someone as loose-mouthed as Miris. Lulurun was banking on the information, and if the timing had been a little late, Nia and the Knights of the Holy Empire would have already begun fighting.

Despite the barrier lifting, Lulurun’s work had stopped that conflict…

No, that’s wrong.

Something is up with this, Rhynes would never lie to Miris, Rhynes would hate that tactic… the discomfort Lulurun feels isn’t so simple, something is seriously wrong here.

“What do you want me to do?” Nia asked.

“I think the correct answer is to run away with me without fighting,” Lulurun said.

“Could you do that?” Nia asked.

“With a transfer spell, we can get away from here without a near miss,” Lulurun said.

It’s okay if they run away with transfer spells, and with that problem solved, Lulurun tries to activate the transfer magic.

And at that moment:

“What?” Lulurun asked.

Nia felt the same disturbance.

“!?”

“Is something coming toward us?” Nia asked.

They both notice it simultaneously. The sign of something heading toward them, not using ground-based transportation like horses or wagons, but flying straight through the air.

Its speed is comparable to that of Lulurun’s flight magic, and Lulurun herself understood how unusual it was.

“!!??”

And only a few seconds after they detected the disturbance, it appeared before Lulurun and Nia.

BOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!!!!

As it stopped in mid-air, the displaced air destroys the building with Lulurun and Nia inside it.

The face of the unidentified assailant is invisible due to the dust clouds that roll-up.

“What the hell is that?!” Nia coughed as she blew away the clouds with magic, the assailant is revealed.

“Who are you!?” Nia yelled.

""

“Who am I? Well, I’m glad you asked!” the assailant replied.

Lulurun immediately understands who or what it is.

“You’re kidding me?”

She can’t be mistaken.

“When evil flourishes in the world, the light of salvation calls me! Heaven, earth, and mankind will be saved by the sword of light! The ultimate slayer of evil! Superb and invincible! The strongest heavenly sword! I am! The Magical Mobile Knight!!!”

She knew better than anyone else about the “Knight Who Would Save The World.”

“EXCALIBURN!!!!!!!!!!!!”

It’s undeniably the mascot robot of Yokoi Keisuke’s company.

It was the Magical Mobile Knight Excaliburn.

“If I can stop you! I will stop you!!”
