Satou's here. Having [Great Surprise] situation when I was working was an everday occurrence. Even so, I don't think that's an excuse to abandon the endeavor to improve the present situation. Mainly for myself.

At the same time the king announced about the attendant, one of the chamberlain signaled to the entrance of the audience hall.
The one who appeared from that entrance was a woman in dress--.
The nobles in the audience hall rustled when they saw the girl.
"I believe you are in good term with Sir Pendragon."
"Yes, we are familiar with each other."
The girl answered the king while smiling.
"I appoint Sera Oyugock to be Vice Minister Pendragon's attendant."
"I respectfully accept."
--Oyugock?
As I was surprised, I checked, Sera's name had a family name on it.
Apparently, she was secularized this morning.
While kneeling, Sera-san glanced at me and showed a playful smile. It's a rare expression for the serious Sera-san.
"If there is someone that can receive the 『Oracle』, you will be able to quickly sense it when the kingdom is in danger. If it's come to that, abandon everything and rush here."
"Understood."
I see, certainly they've been saved many times by Sera-san's [Oracle], so making her into a staff member is surely a good choice.
At the very least, it's better than having miko Auna-san, the daughter of Earl Seryuu, as the attendant.
I've confided her my secret just yesterday anyway, so there's no problem in having her in our journey together.
"And, we will announce the second attendant."
--Eh? It's not just Sera-san?
