--Jeremias, over.


    Now, let''s get this meeting going.


    In one room, the Knights and Magical Knights, the leader and deputy leader of each, are gathered together, sitting around a slightly wider table in a circle.


    In total, the four of us gather together and regularly exchange information and so on.


    If there isn''t much to talk about, it will be over soon.......but today will be a little longer.


    ''''Anne, do you have any information on that side of things?''''


    No, not really. The only thing I''d have to say is that there''s no one in this year''s group that caught my eye.


    I ask the head of the Order of Magical Knights, Anne Bendix, who is sitting in front of me, but she says so discouragingly.


    She has long black hair and sharp eyes, but she is rumored to be very beautiful by her people.


    Furthermore, she is tall and has a good style, so she seems to be very popular.


    To be admitted to the Order of Magic, she must have been an apprentice for at least two years, so she must have some ability, but she has a very strict eye for it.


    I think only a genius can really catch her eye........................like the Deputy Commander of the Order of Magic Knights.


    ''How about you, Viviana, how about you?''


    ''Hmmm, well, I guess the only thing I can say is that Tina was pretty.


    Viviana, that''s not what I''m asking.


    Vice Commander, Viviana Spano.


    She also has black hair, but unlike Anne, she has short hair and is said to be more of a pretty girl than a pretty girl.


    It seems that the leader and deputy leader of the magic knights have a certain number of fans, and they are more popular than the knights.


    I don''t feel anything special about being pretty or cute, so I''m a little unconvinced, but.......well, that''s not the point now.


    Viviana-san is a talented person who has risen to the level of deputy commander at the young age of 20 years old when her talent was bought by the leader of the group, Anne, and she has risen to the level of deputy commander.


    The talent that Anne approves of is really high, and I have been helped by her magic several times.


    ''''Oh, really?　But Tina, you''re going to join the Order of Magic, right?


    ''I haven''t decided yet. From what I''ve heard from Yelle, I''m sure I could put it in, but I''ll have to see the magic in action. We met once today, but I haven''t seen any magic.


    ''Tina seems to have mastered intermediate magic at the age of eighteen.


    Hey, Tina, that''s great.


    Viviana was showing Tina around the facility and the city today, so it looks like they got to know each other a little better.


    ''''Bibiana, you could have used advanced magic at eighteen.


    Oh, was it?


    It''s still a bit mind-boggling that you don''t even remember yourself.......let''s not think about it any more.


    ''''Tina-san doesn''t have anyone to teach her, so it seems she can only do intermediate magic. If you teach her, she might be able to do it right away.


    Hmm, I suppose we can expect a few more.


    Anne grins a bit as she says that.


    After all, she''s probably looking forward to it a little bit, as she too might have a talented person enter.


    ''''Speaking of which, Tina and I came together...I think it was Eric-chan?　What about that boy?


    ''''Right. Despite being only sixteen years old, Yelle, you''re young enough to recommend it, right?


    The Tina connection brought you to the story of Eric.


    Well, where should I start?


    ''Well, you''re very good at it. I don''t even know if I could beat you in a real fight.


    ''Heh, you''re the Commander. If you say so, you must be sure.


    Yelle-san looks at such things without prejudice at all. You''re that strong!


    The two of them seem a little surprised.


    I''ve told His Majesty, but probably not to these two.


    ''Yes, Eric, you - you''d kill Felix Gladio.


    "--Hey!　Yelle, what did you say?　That dangerous person was killed?


    The one who reacted was the leader of the group, Anne.


    She seems to understand the gravity of the matter as well as I do.


    ''''Felix.......who was it?''''


    Didn''t she ... still not remember?


    ''''I told you before. I told you before, the guy who was going to be king of the demon kingdom. He was belligerent, and I was wary of him because he was a bad guy.


    Yes, that man, Eric, and it seems that he was killed with the help of Mr. Tina.


    When I told her about the stories I had heard in the village of Aurin, Anne seemed very surprised.


    Wow, Tina-chan helped out too. I knew she was strong.


    Viviana-san had listened to the story, but the bite was a bit odd... well, that''s important too, so it''s not that far off.


    ''''Then it''s no wonder you joined the group at the unorthodox age of sixteen.


    Yes, Your Majesty has graciously allowed me to do so.


    It''s just that Leo is so random.


    Viviana, call me "Your Majesty," you have no honor.


    Miss Viviana calls Her Majesty familiar, but Her Majesty says, "There''s a pretty one because it''s pretty! He said.


    Well, the queen was pissed off when she heard that.


    ''''So what is the one who doesn''t speak for the entire meeting to start?''''


    Anne sat down with cold eyes and turned to the person who was lying face down and said.


    ''''........Guh, guh....


    ''Don''t sleep on it!


    Anne, who was sitting next to me, banged her head to wake me up.


    ''Phew!　.........Whew, good sleep. Okay, let''s get the meeting started.


    It''s already started!


    ''Oh?　Seriously, wake me up.


    Don''t go to bed first!


    Anne puts her hands on her head and exhales.


    The one who was asleep rustles his head and pulls out a bottle of whiskey called Skittles from his pocket and begins to drink it.


    ''Don''t drink alcohol in the middle of a meeting!


    Come on, man, it doesn''t bother me.


    ''Huh I''ll just give up now because you don''t listen to me every time I tell you.


    They always have this kind of exchange when they get to a meeting.


    It always ends up with Anne breaking down in the end.


    ''Well I have one question for you today. You''re this Eric Aulin guy, are you strong?


    ''Yes, I''m strong. So strong that I can probably beat you.


    Well, if you say so, I''m sure we''ll fight tomorrow.


    Then he gets up and tries to leave the room on his own.


    ''''Yes, you should try to fight. You probably won''t be able to win with your ''that sword''.


    Well, I''m looking forward to it.


    With a grin, the fellow left.


    ''''Haha I think it was a mistake of judgment on your part to make that guy the deputy commander, Yelle.


    ''Really?　He''s the only one in the current Order who can serve as deputy commander.


    It''s all right.　He''s strong.


    ''I''ll admit that, but...''


    Anne let out another sigh.


    Certainly, there will be some people in the Order who will fulfill their duties as the Deputy Commander.


    However--''''


    ''''After all, he''s the only deputy commander. Because he--he''s stronger than me.
