As the point of connection between the Capital’s main entrance and the outside world, the bridge over the moat surrounding the Royal Capital was constantly under attack by monsters. We, the Fifth Squadron, were in the midst of intercepting one such attack.

It wasn’t a particularly urgent situation or anything—just another day at work for us, really. When it came down to it, the Capital had more monster visitors than human ones.

It also happened to be Alma’s first battle with us. We had recruited her under the assumption that she had at least some fighting experience, considering she had been wearing a suit of armor when she’d been found, but we had no idea how good she actually was—so I was both hopeful and concerned at the same time.

“Hyah!”

With a swing of her sword, Alma sliced straight through the golem in front of her. The powerful blow cut through the stone creature’s resilient body like it was nothing.

Even when faced with multiple opponents, she stayed perfectly level-headed, dodging their attacks and steadily whittling down their numbers one by one.

Upon seeing her battle prowess, Spinoza and Fam both let out murmurs of admiration.

“Hot damn. She’s pretty good, huh?” Spinoza said.

“The way she moves is exceptional...and both her composure and situational assessment abilities are excellent as well,” Fam agreed.

If things had turned south, I would’ve been able to use my skill to take on any damage Alma suffered—but she didn’t really seem to require any assistance. Before we knew it, she had slain the entire group of golems all by herself, leaving the bridge littered with their rocky remnants.

“Her origins may be a mystery, but she’s quite skilled, if nothing else. I’d say she’s easily among the top five swordfighters in the Guard Corps,” Fam remarked.

“Definitely an unexpected find for us,” I agreed.

Alma sheathed her sword, then turned around and headed back over to us.

“So, how’d I do?” Letting out a proud sniff, she stared expectantly at me for words of praise, like a dog bringing back a thrown ball. I could practically hear her inner voice asking me to confirm how awesome she was—so I decided to play along and feed her ego a bit.

“Way better than I expected,” I admitted. “That was quite the performance.”

“Whoo! They like me! They really like me!” Alma shouted, clenching her fists in front of her chest in sheer joy. Every single one of us imagined a tail wagging happily behind her.

She placed a hand to her chest, beaming a confident smile. “It doesn’t matter what kind of monsters show up, you won’t have to worry with me here—I’ll handle them! I promise I’ll protect the peace for everyone in the Capital!”

“Man, she really just goes with the flow, doesn’t she,” Spinoza said with an awkward half-smile.

“We’ve still got some time before our shift is over. Make sure to stay on guard,” I told Alma.

“Got it. There’s only two hours left in the shift, though—I can’t imagine there’d be that many monster attacks in one day. That’s probably all we’ll see today, right?”

“Wouldn’t that be nice,” I responded.
