Lingering Wings on the Street
All right, is everyone ready?
Yep! Ready to go!
So... Let me say this again, Captain...
Basically, we're the heroes who saved Monastir from a terrible disaster, right?
So can't they just count the competition trial as successfully completed and call it a day? Three rounds of applause, thanks and goodbye!
That's the natural outcome here, isn't it?
Rules are rules.
Luna's just scared of fighting the Knights.
Last night she complained for two hours about whether we really had to fight them.
W-what are you talking about?!
...It was only about thirty minutes of complaining!
If you want, Omega can provide exactly how long she complained!
Duration of Luna's complaints was one hour and—
Shh!
It's true... now we all know how strong the Knights really are.
Back then it was just a vague kind of tension... but now it feels different.
It's probably the same for them too.
Here they come.
Three members of the Monastir Knights walked toward us.
Charlotte's steps led the way, filled with a quiet confidence—
...No, actually, they were deliberately exaggerated, just like the first time we met her.
Ahem! Ahem!
We lined up facing them and waited for a word from the Grand Master.
I thank you most sincerely for traveling such a great distance, Saviors of NOA.
To you all who have endured bodily fatigue in pursuit of a noble goal and taken on this competition trial, I extend my deepest respect...
H-hey, wait. Don't tell me you're doing this again...
...
Charlotte, Grand Master of the Monastir Knights!
Carmen, Deputy Master of the Monastir Knights.
Frey, Quartermaster of the Monastir Knights.
We will face the members of the Voyager Savior Party with everything we have!
Yeah! Same here!
All right, let's begin!
Did you hear? The Voyager Savior Party passed the competition trial and they're heading back tomorrow.
They're the ones who fought the Executors during the battle, right? That's amazing!
So if they passed the competition trial, does that mean they beat the Knights...?
W-what are you talking about?! There's no way the Monastir Knights would lose!
Still, if they passed, doesn't that mean the Voyager Savior Party won?
You idiot! How could you even say that?!
Hey, let go! I said let go!
H-hey, what's wrong with you two?!
What's with all the noise today...?
...Hmm. Mm, mm...
...Mm!
Hehe, as expected... Tea made from freshly harvested petals...
They possess a flavor that can only be enjoyed at this time. Truly sublime.
I suppose the performance starts in... about an hour?
Hmm, hm, hmm ♪
Hmm...
...
Lord Aldebaran is returning, eh...?
...
Whatever.
Tomorrow's problems... can wait until tomorrow.
Hehe.
