The incident that happened to Ripple the Hyrule Menace was successfully resolved by Inglis and the others. Ripple thanked everyone profusely and returned to the frontline near the border to the neighboring country of Venefique.

However, the price was the collapse of the Knight Academy buildings. The cafeteria in the school building was caved in as well, creating a most critical issue for Inglis and Rafinha who were sealed off from their all-you-can-eat deal.

Putting up with the unbearable hunger they had, they helped with the civil engineering work every day to restore the school building, hoping that the cafeteria would open even a day faster. They wanted to move quickly to speed up the reconstruction progress, but the more they moved, the hungrier they got.

Growl~

Wah!? Whose stomach rumbled like that? How very improper.

Liselotte was astonished as she turned around, she was walking in front of their group with her tools.

Inglis pointed at Rafinha, while Rafinha pointed at Inglis.

Lies! It was Glis!

No, it was Rani!

Dont point fingers! I heard two rumbles, one from my left, one from my right, okay?

Leone, who was walking right between the two, revealed the truth.

Tsk

It seems that the two of you have gotten too hungry that youve become peevish.

Leone smiled bitterly.

How can you be so hungry? You are eating just as much as we are

As a matter of fact, those who helped with the reconstruction of the school building were provided with a lunch box.

Not enough at all!

W-, well, why dont we just think of it as a good way to cut your carb? See, if you lose a little weight over here, your shoulder might not be so stiff

Leone said as she pointed at her own chest, where Rene was relaxing right in the cleavage. It seemed that Leones was her favorite today.

HmmWell, I cant say I dont agree

Inglis saw the point of what Leone said, but

Well, I dont! Unlike you, Ive got nothing to lose!

W-, well, Rafinha, youre the slender type, soyoure enviable, you know? In your own right.

Oh, lets change places then. Bigger ones like Glis and Leone are definitely better! Ive got nothing to lose at times like this! Theyll only dry up and die!

AhahaYou never get fat no matter how much you eat after all, Rafinha.

And so, since mine is closer to a life-and-death situation, Ill have Glis share her lunch with me, okay!

Eeeh!? Thats one thing I cant give, even if its you Rani!

Why not, youve got so much nutrition stored in here!

Hyau!? S-, stop it, Rani! Im carrying a huge log with me!

Oh my? Seems like theyve gotten a little bigger again. How can they grow even though you dont eat much!? You damn, you, you!

Hya!! I-, I told you, stop! I get it, I get it, lets get some fishes from Lake Vault again later, okay? Ill give the bigger part to you, okay!

Eeh, but you got complaints from the local fishermen, didnt you? They said the students are threatening their livelihood and all that.(Lahti)

They wont know if we sneak there at night. Maybe

I-, isnt that literally poaching!!

Do you two really need to go that far to keep on living

Both Leone and Liselotte smiled bitterly. It was then

Miss Inglis~! Miss Rafinha~!

Principal Miliera came running in while calling out their names.

Principal?

Whats the matter?

A messenger came from the castle just a moment ago! He said that His Majesty the King had summoned both of you, Miss Inglis, Miss Rafinha!

Direct summon from His Majesty!?

To the castle!?

Yes. Im sorry for this, but please immediately head to the Royal Castle.

Ooooh! We did it, Glis!

Yeah, Rani! A godsend!

Both Inglis and Rafinhas eyes sparkled when they heard the news from Principal Miliera. In short

Castle Summon Gratitude for saving him back then Feast!

Right, a feast! Both of them found hope in that possibility and jumped at it.

Waah! I cant wait~ The food at the castle was so delicious back then, right!

Yeah, they were! Lets get going then.

Ill call a carriage for you, then. In that time, the two of you please get ready.

Yes, Principal.

Inglis nodded, but

No, thatll be slow! Our delicious food will get cold by then! Hey, Glis, lets go with that!

That?

Yeah, that! If we go swoosh through the sky, well be faster than a carriage!

Aah, that Hmmare we allowed to

We can right, Principal!? Going with our Star Princess!?

That referred to Inglis and Rafinhas personal Flygear. The other day, in the battle over the Royal Castle, Inglis and Rafinha managed to snatch a single Flygear unit from the Highlanders. They used it to rush over from the Royal Castle to the Knight Academy, but after the incident was over, the undamaged Flygear was allowed to remain in the personal possession of Inglis and Rafinha.

Flygears belonging to the Highland were of higher performance than what the Kingdom had, which was fine and all, but

Aah, you mean that. I dont see why not? Its so girly and cute.

Thank you so much! Ill go fetch it then! Wait there, Glis!

Y-, yeah

Not long later a Flygear steered by Rafinha showed itself above Inglis and the others. The whole thing was painted in overly bright pink. Then, as though it was made to be as conspicuous as possible, there was a pair of sparkling, starry, maiden-like eyes drawn on the front hull. While the rest of the body was painted with lots of sparkling decoration through and through.

Its ours, so Ill make it pretty! explained Rafinha, so the whole unit was painted according to her preferences. Pullum, her classmate in the Knight division, also helped with the paint job.

Come on, lets go, Glis! Get on, get on!

Y-, yeah

The innards of this Flygear unit was of high performance, and Inglis herself had made some modifications to it, so it had been improved, but still Inglis was a bit hesitant to ride it, with just how feminine its outward appearance was.

She was a man at heart, so shed rather have something more low-key and cool for her ride. In fact, shed even go with an all-black.

But, if Rafinha insisted, Inglis couldnt say no. Rafinha, who was like a granddaughter to her, had decided that the color of their toy should be pink. What grandfather could disobey that?

Okaay, here we go! Food on sight, fly we go!

Well then, were off.

The Star Princess, piloted by Rafinha, took off into the crimson-tinted sky.
