The forces in Ahlemin were the strongest Karelia could bring to bear. If they were overrun here, it would all be over. Be determined was the meaning of her words.

A roar of applause rose from the knights as Rafinha spoke, her fists clenched.

“That was great! I knew you could do it,” Inglis said.

“R-Really? I don’t think I said anything that important...” Rafinha looked a bit startled.

“Sometimes it’s important who says something.” Rafinha’s words resonated because they came sincerely from her heart. If Inglis had said the same thing, it wouldn’t have been as persuasive; even she was self-aware enough to know that was because she was so enthusiastic about fighting the Prismer.

It was the same for Rafael, Eris, and Ripple. A holy knight and hieral menaces facing a Prismer would not be able to escape from their tragic determination and resolve. That tension would be reflected in their voices and above all, the words they chose.

They would never put it in the same way as Rafinha had, just like Inglis wouldn’t.

“I...I’m not being irresponsible, right?”

“It’s fine. I’ll make sure everyone’s safe.” Inglis patted Rafinha’s head before calling out to the knights. “Quickly! To your posts!”

“Yes!” The knights changed course and began to retreat back toward the walls.

“Principal Miriela, Silva—you too! Go along with everyone and help protect their retreat!”

Miriela and Silva nodded.

“U-Understood!”

“Call for us if you need us!”

They seemed to be in agreement.

“And then, I’ll proceed with my assault on the Pris—”

“W-Wait a moment!” Eris interjected.

“That’s right, Inglis!” Ripple agreed. Inglis had wanted to go on the attack immediately, but the two hieral menaces caught her by the arm.

“What is it?”

“You know what! I can agree with part of that plan, but...” Eris began.

“Yes,” Ripple said. “If our forces had been hit with that attack, they would have been wiped out—no, worse, turned into more magicite beasts. So it’s not a mistake to pull back, but...”

Rafael stepped in front of Inglis, trying to hold her back. “But sending you in alone is too dangerous! At least let us come along!”

“That’s right!” Eris said. “We’re relying on you to help us, but that doesn’t mean we want to throw you to the wolves!”

“We called you here. We should take responsibility too!” Ripple insisted.

Inglis quietly shook her head. “No. Holy knights and hieral menaces are humanity’s last hope—we need to avoid risking you in a fight with the Prismer where you won’t demonstrate your full power. If you take a full-on attack from the Prismer, not even a hieral menace will be safe.”

“Well...” Eris trailed off.

“That’s true...” Ripple admitted.

“And demonstrating your true power as you fight alongside me holds its own problems. I’m not here just to fight the Prismer; I’m here to prevent Rafael from losing his life. Rani doesn’t want that, Rafael. Neither do I.”

“Chris?!” Rafael exclaimed. “You know everything?!”

“I’m sorry. I explained it to Rani as well. She needed to know everything before making her own decision on what to do.”

“Rafael...I’m sorry, I didn’t know before...” Rafinha mumbled, sounding close to tears.
