He stared out the windows and up towards the night sky. The window offered a view past the garden trees to the lights of Torisval, sparkling under the blue of evening.

“It is such a precious, priceless thing,” Kristoffer continued, “and I want nothing more than to protect it. Just as I want to ensure that you, Shiori, also receive the same protection.”

“Erm... Me?”

Shiori blinked in shock, and the margrave smiled.

“And not just because you are the love of the king’s elder brother,” he said, sipping at his wine. “In the future, we cannot rule out the possibility that some would want you for your technological know-how and your intelligence.”

Shiori was by no means a specialist—she was simply an office worker with an ordinary level of intelligence. She did not think she was in any way special, but the three men saw this sentiment on her face, and they shook their heads.

“Alec and I both know that you’re just an ordinary human being where you come from,” said Zack, “but people are going to turn up in the future who think of you as much, much greater than that.”

“He’s right,” said Alec. “Your ‘View of the Deities’ was enough for many to think of you as extraordinary.”

“Oh...”

Things had been peaceful for Shiori since the Nativity Festival, but many reporters had started digging around for more about her immediately after the event. Some of the Tris Cathedral’s own high-ranking officials were also of the opinion that she was a saint, and that she should be brought into the church.

“Then there’s your freeze-dried foods,” said the margrave. “Word is starting to spread among various knight corps stations. I’ve already heard from a number of squadrons that they want to make them a part of rations as soon as they hit the market. Though it may seem like a rather simple technology to you, your freeze-dried foods are going to be revolutionary. And when people discover that you are behind it, some are going to believe that you’re capable of much more too.”

And what would happen if the public were to discover that the “inventor” of freeze-dried food and the caster of the View of the Deities were the very same person? This was what Alec, Zack, and Kristoffer were worried about.

“I apologize for being a little heavy-handed, but I had some of my men watch over you as protection. Oh, and please rest easy—they did not interfere or spy on your private life. They were merely in place to ensure your protection. After the Nativity Festival, I also put some pressure on the newspapers to ensure that coverage was limited.”

Kristoffer had been working behind the scenes already, and it dawned on Shiori that had she not been close to Alec and Zack, she may well have already been kidnapped or taken hostage. The thought sent a shiver down her spine. It was just like in the past—Shiori had been approached by an unscrupulous business looking to draw customers in with an “Eastern princess,” but she’d had no way of knowing initially what their intentions were.
