What should we do now, Branch Master?
Let me write up a report first! Ophelia, can I ask you to take it back to the royal palace back in Manafall?
Cloud and Verna, you two have been requested as reinforcements for the knights.
The knights?
That man you brought back... When we questioned him, he said something about a mysterious priest. Apparently, some kind of religious order is involved.
The Solar Knights have been dispatched to investigate the matter. And I'm sending you two to help them!
A joint mission with the knights? Bring it on! Where do we need to go? This is going to be awesome!
They've requested that you come to Mt. Proelium.
I heard that the elite knights of the 9th Brigade...
The 9th Brigade?!
What's with that reaction? What is it?
Never mind. I will reserve my judgment.
Alright, time's a wastin'. Get out of here! Go!
Oh? What are you two doing here? Are you besties already?
Every meeting is a lovely one, be it man, woman, or child. And a chance encounter with a strong, beautiful knight is especially precious! ♡
How uncouth.
Are you embarrassed, Ophelia?
Anyway... Are you sure you can get back to Manafall okay? Without getting lost?
Manafall is my home. Of course I know the way back.
Don't worry, everyone. I'll be with her every step of the journey.
Huh? Why are you going to Manafall, Francis?
For more information on corruption, of course. I'm headed to the royal library to look through their ancient texts.
And, I can't pass up the opportunity to go on a lovely vacation with such a fantastic partner. Hehe. ♡
I don't know what is going on in this woman's head, but this trip is not a vacation.
Be safe on the way to Manafall, both of you! And also...
Ophelia... If we hear news of your brother, we'll be sure to write to you!
Thank you. His name is... Ian. You'll... you'll know it's him.
What a beautiful sight. A heartfelt, passionate goodbye... but not farewell. Ah, what a lovely display of youth. ♡
Nyan! ♡
Ahhh! Where did that blast come from?
It's magic! Is someone fighting?
What was that? A Rockymander, maybe?
Mander...
Verna! Look. These Rockymanders...
Grilled to perfection. A beautiful golden brown...!
Who could have done such a delectable, I mean, heartless thing...?
Mander....
Hmph.
You did that on purpose, didn't you?!
Huh? Who are you?
We're adventurers from Monster Tamers. Ahaha.
Oh yeah. You're our backup, right?
I'm Reina of the 9th Brigade of Solar Knights. And this reckless pyromaniac over here...
The name is Flare. Why are you staring like that? First time seeing a knight magus?
Ah, that makes sense... That blast earlier...
Yup, that's right. If something blew up or went ablaze... that was her.
They were coming at us. What was I supposed to do?
Wait! Weren't you tracking some religious order?
A religious order? More like a cult.
We were actually in the middle of tailing a suspect.
But we lost them when the Rockymanders got in our way.
I see... Is there anything we can do to help?
Of course. Let's keep moving. That way!
Rockymanders!
Move out of the way! I'm trying to grill it in one go.
Flare, easy! Please take it easy with the flames!
That cultist went this way. I saw them.
Oh, I thought you were busy grilling that Rockymander. When did you see that?
You two... are working together, right?
There we go. I'm done grilling.
Were you planning to burn down this whole area? Are you sure you're after the cultists?
Over there! I was right!
What is she doing?
Looks like shady magic. Shall I burn her?
No burning! We need her.
Psssh! Quiet!
What's that?!
Eek! Wh-who are you? Waaaah!
Uh... Erm...
You see? I should have burned her.
Phew, we won. What's got them all riled up?
Corruption makes monsters become violent.
It's exactly like our mission brief. Ecological disruption...
Well, I think we've found our culprit.
We just need to catch her now. Let's go.
