Inglis and Leone cooperated with each other, easily subjugating the Magic Stone Beasts in the town.

Leone mainly dominated the ground where she relentlessly mowed down running bird-type beasts with her enlarged great sword artifact. While Inglis positioned herself on rooftops, knocking down flying bird-type beasts into the ground where Leone was waiting to slice them up.

The scattering arrows of light from Rafinhas Artifact would only bring about collateral damage in this townscape. And Leones Artifact would do better on such an occasion, considering its tight maneuver.

As Inglis was assessing Leones performance with a side glance, she jumped towards a rooftop with three beasts perching on it.

One!

Right after she landed, she sprung and twisted herself in the air, hammering down the nearest bird with a kick.

Inglis had seen through an attack from the second beast that tried to peck her from behind. She sent a fist to the birds chin, then scooped it up.

With her hand now circling around its neck, she lifted and threw it around, using it as a club to bash on another beast.

Two!

The two beasts collided with significant force, sending the latter falling towards the waiting Leone with no means to resist.

Three!

And at last, she threw the beast she held in her hand below not a second later.

However, her timing was too fast.

Leone who had just finished dealing with the second beast was not ready yet.

Ah! Sorry!

Wawawaah!? Too fast, Inglis!

From behind the panicked Leone, an arrow of light flashed through.

It tore through the third falling bird, snuffed it out before it even touched the ground.

Now that the beasts falling trajectory had changed, Leone wouldnt be crushed by it.

Bullseye! Geez, Glis! Its because youre going off on your own that I came late.

Rani! Im surprised you know Im here. Im pretty sure I went around quite a lot.

Well, you two made quite the show here.

Rafinha said as her eyes locked onto Leone.

Shes Leone. She was here when I got around so Im fighting alongside her.

Nice to meet you. You saved my hide back there.

Youre welcome! Im Rafinha Wilford. Lets get along.

When Rafinha introduced herself with a wide smile, a shocked look appeared on Leones face.

Wilford? Rafinha Then youre Sir Raphaels little sister!?

Wah! You know big brother Rafa!?

Y-, yeah I have been under his great tutelage.

If you dont mind, can you tell us about him later? Now, lets put in more spirit!

With Rafinha joining the fray, the speed of the dwindling number of Magic Stone Beasts doubled.

As the result of them running around the town for about an hour subjugating Magic Stone Beasts here and there, the surrounding scene finally regained its serene, with just a few things left to clean up.

Phew~ Thats all, right? Good work out there, Glis, Leone.

Sure. We made so much progress thanks to you two. You have my thanks.

But, it sure is weird that they suddenly appeared within the town walls. Even though the towns security is tight Its not like theres Prism Flow falling over the town, either.

Glis is right I wonder why?

Its been a recurring event recently. Magic Stone Beasts appearing even without Prism Flow.

You have it good, all this action to chase away your boredom.

Eh? Umm? 1

At hearing Inglis comment, Leone was caught off guard.

W-, well, dont mind her, okay? This girl has a war general trapped within her angelic body.

Ahahaha. But I understand somehow. She looks so peaceful after the battle ends.

I do?

You very much do. And youre just like a frenzied beast during battles, Glis.

Indeed. When I first saw her, she was jumping into a flock of Magic Stone Beast all by herself. Sure took me by surprise.

Aah, so thats how it was. Tell me about it. Seeing that for the first time really makes your heart jump. I mean, shes just a single, runeless girl trying to break through like a sole horseman. Thinking about it normally, that means death, isnt it?

I reflexively tackled her down because of that! Turned out, it was unnecessary.

Watching Rafinha and Leone oddly getting along well, Inglis gave them the stink eye.

But this encounter must be a blessed one since the three of them could just laugh it off together.

Hey, the two of you! The black-haired and silver-haired girls! 2

Suddenly, a middle-aged Knight came over to their group.

Thank you for helping us defend the town! Its not much, but we wish to offer you a reward in return. Can you come with us?

Eh? What about Leone? Shes the one who fought the hardest.

Rafinha asked with a confused look on her face. Inglis had the same question in mind.

Dont say something so stupid. Why the hell would we give anything for a traitors kin!

He spoke as though that was the most natural thing in the world.

Hold on there! Leone fought the hardest amongst us!

I-, its okay, Rafinha. Dont mind me, just go.

No! Thats just weird!

We cant trust that girl. Since you two seem to be unaware, Ill tell you this much. That woman is Leone Olpha. Shes the little sister of the ex Holy Knight who originated from this town, the traitor who backstabbed the country and deserted this nation, Leon Olpha! We dont have any reason to acknowledge the kin of a traitor that sullied the entire towns reputation.3 EEeeh!?

Thats right Olpha is Mr. Leons

The middle-aged Knights remark made Inglis connect the two dots in her head.

She knew the surname Olpha rang a bell, and only now did she realize it was Leons surname. The Holy Knight who had disappeared, saying that he would join the Ironblood Chain Brigade.

Now that you know, I suggest you stop associating with that girl. Else you two will face contempt from everyone. 4 No thanks! And we dont need your stupid reward!

Rafinha scowled, her tongue sticking out.

For the daughter of an aristocrat, her conduct was inappropriate.

Lets go?

Inglis took Leones hand, pulling her along down the street.

Shes right, lets go!

Rafinha took her other hand without a moments delay.

Thank you.

The corner of Leones eyes watered as she let the two pull her away.
