“Greetings, everyone. I sincerely thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to come to this emergency inquiry. We are here today to discuss a certain Ikki Kurogane, a legal adult who has gravely misconducted himself by fostering an illicit sexual relationship with a state guest. Thus, many in this Japanese Branch office have called into question his accountability and sense of ethics.

“Student knights are given various rights at age fifteen that normal children do not have. Thus, it is only natural that we would expect them to have a sense of responsibility befitting those rights. In the spirit of that belief, this Ethics Committee meeting was arranged to provide an opportunity for us to thoroughly investigate whether there are concerns regarding Ikki Kurogane’s status as a knight. I know you are all very busy men, so I thank you for your understanding and cooperation.”

The International Mage-Knight Federation’s Japanese office building. On its tenth underground floor, a committee existed to oversee the ethics of student knights and Mage-Knights, providing guidance and petitioning for bans when the need arose. They could be said to be a kind of military police.

In one room on that floor, the leader of the committee, Akaza, bowed his head to the gathering of near-middle-aged men around him. He also grinned broadly at Ikki, who stood square in front of them.

“Now, everyone,” Akaza continued, “please be seated so that we may begin the inquiry.”

The inquiry was announced, and everyone took their seats. Only Ikki, who was not provided a chair, was left standing. It was a plain, yet spiteful act, demanding that he stand throughout the hours-long interrogation, but at the very least, Ikki wasn’t so feeble as to admit defeat from such a minor discomfort.

The air here is so stagnant.

Ikki surveyed the room, which had almost no light sources to speak of. Around him were long desks arranged in a U-shape, where Akaza and the other men sat. Three in front and one on either side—a total of five people, all wearing red suits to show that they were members of the Ethics Committee.

“There’s no need to act so uptight. I’ll say it once: all of us here are on your side.” Akaza teased Ikki, noticing that he was sizing up the strength of the committee members. “This inquiry is not the place to point fingers. As unprecedented as your misconduct may be, we want to hear your excuse for having a relationship with a state guest. This is a place of enlightenment, open to you due solely to the combined generosity of your father and us. There’s not a single one among us who isn’t on your side. Right, everyone?”

“That’s right. None of us want you banned from the Federation without at least giving you the chance to offer an explanation. You’ve tried your hardest to make it to where you are now, mere steps away from making it to the Seven Stars Battle Festival. It would be a shame for all that effort to go to waste.
