Chapter 112: The Vice-Captains of the Six Army Corps

Several people sat facing one another inside the council room. Though its usual occupants were the Six Sovereigns, captains of the Six Army Corps of the Royal Capital, today’s gathering was a good deal younger.

“I was told the Six Sovereigns received an urgent summons from His Majesty.” Thunderflash Sirene, the vice-captain of the Hunter Corps, uneasily looked around at her colleagues. “Did something happen? Ines, do you know anything?”

Seated next to Sirene was Ines, the Divine Shield, vice-captain of the Warrior Corps. She looked up from the thick sheaf of documents she was holding in one hand, having confirmed the day’s agenda. “There’s no need to fret. From what I’ve heard, there isn’t an emergency. Though, since their meeting is of great importance, it will continue for some time. That’s why we vice-captains were suddenly called upon to oversee the usual periodical debriefing.”

Sitting on Ines’s other side was a man with a golden spear slung over his shoulder. He had one leg on the council room’s table and studied the ceiling with evident disinterest. “Tsk. Waste of time, if you ask me. The old masters could’ve just postponed it.”

“We’re here because they couldn’t,” Ines replied, lightly rebuking him. “This is one of our crucial duties as vice-captains.”

“Yeah, yeah. I get it,” Gilbert said with a small sigh. “Can we get started? I can already feel my body wasting away.”

Next to the Spear Sovereign was a robe-clad woman with her arms crossed. She looked clearly displeased with the situation. “Um, Gilbert...? I came here thinking we were just going to have a meeting. Why do I need to patch you up too?”

“My bad, Marieberr. I went a little overboard with this morning’s training. Still, it’s not like you’ll have much else to do, right?”

“I... I mean, it’s my job to heal you and your Swordsman Corps, so I’m not doing anything I wouldn’t have done other—” She let out a shriek the moment she touched the man’s arm. “Huh?! Gilbert?! You told me you just needed a checkup for a few aches and pains! But your bones and muscles are pulp! What in goodness’s name did you do to yourself?!”

“Eh. Can’t be helped, given my opponent. This always happens; he doesn’t know the meaning of the word ‘restraint.’ Not that I’d want him to hold back.”

“What?! How can you be so flippant about this?! You should be in agony!”

“Yeah, it hurts, but I’ve gotten used to it. And you’re gonna have me fixed up in no time, right? Might as well get it over with.”

Marieberr responded with a high-pitched whine of distress. “Th-This is insane! I hope you know that! I mean, I’ll do it, but... Ugh! This is so gross! I can feel chunks of bone sloshing around in here!” As she complained, a gentle light enveloped the bluish-black limb...and quickly restored it to its usual color.

“Damn, that was fast. No wonder people call you the Saintess—you’re a real cut above the run-of-the-mill clerics.
