"I'm not interested in weak men."
The sharp words cut Bibitri in two like a sword. Bibitri's eyes were dead, and he replied, "Ah, yes," before retreating. Incidentally, perhaps because she'd lived in a world of brutal men where the strong preyed on the weak, Katie preferred men who were stronger than her and possessed a gentlemanly, rational demeanor.
"In other words, you are only interested in Mr. Oscar."
"Why is that?! I'm not interested in fake gentleman glasses!"
"You even dressed up as a cat-eared maid, meow."
“That’s why I said it was a misunderstanding!”
Katie couldn't stand it anymore and acted threateningly. Aisha looked at her suspiciously, feeling that she was very suspicious.
The group continued on the road and arrived at the town at dusk.
They were walking through the town, looking for a hotel to stay for the night, but Aisha suddenly stopped.
"I smell Mr. Oscar's scent on that girl!"
Ayesha's sensor seemed to register with the girl walking ahead. Before anyone could complain about the scent, Ayesha sprinted away, leaving an afterimage behind, reaching the girl's side.
"...So fast, even faster than my 'acceleration'. What's going on with her?"
"It seems to be the power of love."
"Lately, she seems to have become a magical creature who can do anything as long as her love for Oscar is used as an excuse."
Katie and the others looked off into the distance and ran towards the girl who was being sniffed closely by Aisha, not knowing what to do.
"Wow, what's wrong with this person all of a sudden... Do I stink that bad? I'm obviously very particular about cleanliness, wow."
The girl's eyes were filled with tears, and she was dejected. But it was no wonder, even if she wanted to run away, she couldn't outrun Aisha's swift pace, and she kept being told that she was "smelly".
“S-Sorry! I accidentally overreacted because you smelled like Oscar! Ah, my name is Aisha! Do you know Oscar?”
"!? ...Since my family runs an inn in this town, perhaps there was a guest with that name staying there before? What's your relationship with that person?"
The girl was afraid of Aisha who kept invading her personal territory, but she still asked with caution. So Aisha continued dancing as usual and answered seriously:
"I am his wife."
Aisha answered without hesitation. Katie and the others, though helpless, tried to correct her. But before they could do so, the girl shouted:
"You're lying! You're lying!"
"H-What evidence do you have to accuse me of lying?"
"Because Brother Oscar—he and Meredith are in love with each other!"
The echoes echoed through the dusky town. As if to express her unyielding resolve, the girl raised her head and chest and shouted loudly:
"He, they've already done so many things that can't be spoken of! And Oscar-brother even begged for mercy, saying, 'I'm tired.' Meredith is the queen of the night!"
“Wha-what!?”
Aisha rolled her eyes, but as a girl who loved Meredith very much, she did not slack off in her pursuit in order to protect Meredith's status!
"And right now... they're fighting fiercely with Natsu-nii and Mei-nii..."
I don't know what she was imagining, but a large amount of red liquid gushed out of the girl's nostrils. She seemed extremely excited. Seeing her speak so vividly, this time it was Katie who responded.
“You’re kidding, right? Mei’er…that Mei’er actually…she got there first!?”
Katie's face was filled with astonishment, her body swaying. Her friend, who had grown up with her and loved to act like an older sister, was actually just like her: the lack of boyfriend qualifications was due to age. She hadn't expected her to be the first to step onto the ladder of adulthood, and to even experience something as unnatural as a foursome... Katie felt a deep sense of defeat.
"Aisha doesn't believe it! Aisha doesn't believe it!"
Aisha seemed to have been dealt a heavy blow, and her behavior regressed to that of a toddler.
"That's right! Don't lie!"
Katie denied her statement in a threatening manner.
The girl snorted, turned around, and then said:
"Come with me! I'll let you stay at our inn! Tonight, I'll make it clear to you that there's no room for anyone else to get involved between Meredith and the others. Be prepared!"
“I beg you to do it!”
"I'm also concerned about that, but please tell me more about Mei!"
As the saying goes, three women make a show. Bibitelli and Hedari watched as the three women, completely unimpressed, disappeared into the crowd. The townspeople listened to their conversation and chuckled, "How young!" Bibitelli and Hedari glanced at the onlookers and, feeling melancholy, followed them.
The group headed towards the inn just ahead on the road—"Wanda Inn."
Prequel Zero 4 Bonus That day, he said goodbye
In the center of the vast, quiet training ground, there was a man.
The man sat upright, eyes closed, breathing in and out. He blended into the silence, his unwavering presence akin to a condemned man awaiting execution, or a brave warrior sharpening his focus before a decisive battle.
After a while, the man quietly opened his eyes and looked at his knees with a determined look.
There was a mat on the ground, and sharp blades were placed on the mat.
The man solemnly reached for the blade, raising it to his eyes. The faint light reflected off the blade, gleaming sharply, making it appear sharp. He shifted the angle to check if the blade was bent.
"No problem."
After saying this solemnly, the man took a deep breath, and then—
"bring it on."
Point the sharp blade towards yourself.
◇◇◇◇◇◇◇
That day was long before the Kingdom of God declared war on the Republic.
After suffering a humiliating defeat at the West Sea, the White Light Knights' Vice-Captain, Airem Ockerman, felt deeply ashamed and diligently exercised daily. One day, he staggered through the hallways of the main altar, his exhausted body dragging itself.
Then, at the corner, he felt a familiar presence behind him—it was Captain Ross.
After briefly checking his attire and appearance, Airem pulled himself together. He might have felt something was amiss with the captain lately, but that was a different matter. He couldn't afford to embarrass himself in front of his beloved captain.
At this moment, Ross also approached the corner and appeared.
“No!?”
"Eram... you look like you've been training very diligently."
Normally, Airem would have given a wry smile and replied, "So you can tell?" But now, Airem's eyes were wide open, and his body was frozen, as if petrified.
"? What's wrong, Airem?"
"—Yes, yes! I'm sorry, ※hair—no, I was thinking about God."
"……Yeah?"
Airem was deeply shocked. After coming to his senses and answering Royce, he stared into his eyes even more uncomfortably. He seemed to be desperately trying to endure it, as if to say, "Don't look up! You'll die if you do!"
Actually, Alem could speak frankly; perhaps Royce would even want to hear his thoughts. Regardless of whether Royce felt this way, this situation would continue endlessly, so Royce took the initiative to speak:
"I shaved it off."
"Ah! You shaved your head!"
"Um."
The two men stared at each other, and Airem began to sweat a little.
"I feel refreshed."
"That's great."
"Um."
The two men stared at each other again, but Airem's gaze began to wander.
Finally, Ross showed a disappointed expression, said "Excuse me", and left.
Airem, freed from his nervousness, shook his body vigorously, and then said:
"Why, why did you shave your head..."
Looking back, Ross's shaved head was reflecting the dazzling sunlight.
After that, as Ross was walking down the corridor—
"L-Laws!? What's wrong with your head!?"
"Mulu."
He met Mulu Oliki, the leader of the Beast Light Knights. Mulu pointed at Laus with eyes wide open, looking extremely surprised.
"I shaved my head."
"Why? Oh, no, that's right...it's because of what happened in the West Sea."
"No! Absolutely not!"
"Eh!? Isn't it!? By the way, why are you denying it so vehemently!?"
Mulu originally guessed that Laus shaved his head in order to change his mood after the defeat in the West Sea, but Laus firmly denied it, which really scared him.
Ross muttered to himself, "I don't care what that little girl said...", but Mulu didn't hear it clearly.
"Mulu."
"Oh, what's up, Ross?"
"Hair is unnecessary, and many people don't understand that."
"No, I don't understand what you're saying."
Rolls and Mulu stared at each other. Finally, Rolls said, "Really?" and left, still feeling somewhat frustrated.
Mulu stared blankly at his back, genuinely worried about Rolls. He thought the defeat had truly dealt a heavy blow to Rolls, even affecting his mental state.
Not long after that, Rolls set out on his journey home.
He didn't know why, no, he knew the reason very well. But his colleagues and subordinates all stared at him, as if he were fragile glass, which made him a little annoyed. He just wanted to go home quickly and see his son Sharon's face.
At this time, Rolls had a rare encounter with a person he really didn't want to see.
"Lord Baien."
"!...Miko-sama."
That was the oracle, Aines Yasak. Despite her unparalleled beauty, she felt a deep emptiness within. Perhaps she was traveling incognito today, wearing a nun's habit and a veil covering her face, so she didn't alert anyone around her. However, inside, Ross was sweating profusely.
"Are you going home?"
"Yes, yes."
"Really? Family is important. You've hardly been home since returning from the West Sea, right? Spend some quality time with your family today."
"Thank you for your concern."
Under normal circumstances, even though she said this, Ross would feel terrible in his heart, thinking that she was not sincere.
But now he didn't feel that way. Was it because the witch's words were sincere? No, the witch's words were still emotionless.
However, her words today seemed to be insincere for other reasons.
"Miko-sama, what's wrong with my head?"
"Head? What are you talking about?"
She seemed to have no idea what Ross was talking about... Having said that, ever since they met, when they talked, and even at this moment, the witch's eyes had been fixed on Ross's head, not moving away for a moment.
"Then, Lord Byeong-sama, I'll take my leave."
"yes!"
The witch walked away as she spoke, and as they passed each other, her eyes were fixed on Ross's head - staring at Ross's clean-shaven head that shone brilliantly in the setting sun.
She looked like she had seen something truly incredible, her eyes could even be described as innocent, or like a child attracted by a beautiful butterfly.
“Is it, is it that bad…?”
It's just a haircut... Many priests and other clerics also have shaved heads... Why am I the only one getting so much attention...
Ross returned home, exuding an indescribable air of confusion and sadness. And then...
"Father! Your hair is gone!"
"Y-yeah, I shaved it off... Is that weird?"
