She fought because she was resolute to not allow her students to become toys of war any longer, although she doesn’t regret about that matter, a murderer is a murderer. She was surely already prepared that her students would no longer call her sensei.
It should be noted that David and them, the Aiko bodyguard temple knights, were still alive and well. That was because after Aiko had disappeared, they protested to the upper brass, “Let us meet her!”, many times, and after that was confirmed to never be fulfilled they decided to search for themselves, the upper brass who were fed up decided to lowered them onto ground level and restricted them from going into the head temple. And that’s how they managed to barely escape from death at the head temple at the time. Currently they’re listening to Aiko’s words and working hard to help out with this and that for the reconstruction.
With those kinds of feelings, Aiko and the students are respectively holding their own weight in their minds and helping out with Ririana today to reconstruct the Kingdom.
Today’s agenda was to reform the Kingdom’s knights and employ commanders to each squad at the drilling ground. By the way, the new knight leader’s name was Kuzeri Rail. It was a female knight and formerly Ririana’s imperial guardsmen. The vice-commander’s name was Neat Komorudo. He was the previous commander of the 3rd knight unit.
[Thanks for the hard work. Kouki-san]
During the mock battle screening test, Kouki had been working as a partner for the knights so he was wiping his sweat at the edge of the drilling grounds and those words of appreciation ranged out. When Kouki turned his line of sight towards it, Ririana was coming over with a smile.
[No, this isn’t much of a big deal. …..As for yourself Riri, you’ve barely gotten any sleep recently huh? Really, thanks for the hard work]
When Kouki showed a wry smile in return, Ririana also showed a wry smile. Both of them hardly had any time to sleep over the past few days. To begin with, the reason why their sleeping time was cut down was due to completely different reasons.
[That’s because right now is not the time to be sleeping. …..Casualties, dealing with the loss of beloved people, disposing buildings which collapsed, confirming missing people, repairing the great barrier and the outer wall, reports and communication with each district, deploying soldiers to investigate the surroundings, reorganizing…..this is serious, they’re all things that need to be done. Even if I whine about it, there’s no other way. Mother has also shared the burden, so I can still go on. …….The people who are truly suffering are those who lost important people and their property…….]
[If you’re saying that then, even you’ve…..]
