"W-, what’s the meaning of this?! HOW…!?"

Involuntarily, Inglis' tone and voice became uncharacteristically shaken.

—She recognized him.

No, it wasn’t just ‘recognizing.’ This person was herself. But not the present-day Inglis Eux. This was her past life, King Inglis. To be more specific, this was the younger form of King Inglis from his youth.

It wasn’t a coincidence or a resemblance to someone else. This was herself—she understood it best.

Yet, if Black Mask was a Divine Knight, then it made sense that he would have the appearance of King Inglis in his youth. What had happened for the Black Mask to look like a young King Inglis, she had no idea. Could it be the work of the goddess Alistair, who now seemed absent from this world?

"Glis? What’s wrong with you?"

Noticing Inglis’ clear distress, Rafinha peered at her, puzzled.

"Huh? Ah, well, um…"

Flustered, Inglis couldn't come up with a good excuse quickly.

"Could it be, he's your type?"

"Huh? Ah, yeah… maybe? His face just…burns into my mind, I guess?"

Inglis nodded ambiguously in response to Rafinha's words. For now, she just went along with the conversation.

"Eh!? I can’t believe Glis, of all people, said that!"

Rafinha seemed really surprised.

"Don't look! Glis is supposed to marry Big Bro Rafa…!"

From behind, someone covered her eyes with their hands.

“I’m telling you, I’m not getting married!

"Ah, looks like Senior Yua and Miss Cystia disappeared."

"Because this is the memory that this space remembers…"

"Ah, that’s little Boobie Girl.”

The space's memory began to project an image of Inglis training inside the Sarcophagus of Greyfriar in recent days. Time seemed to jump forward, and gradually, Inglis' figure grew older.

Her own sense of time had been long screwed, but it seemed like enough time had passed for her body, which had once shrunk, to grow back to its original form.

As Inglis' body grew, her clothes began to stretch and shrink in response to her growing frame. Her height increased, making the sleeves and hem of her clothes shorter, but most noticeably, her chest.

With her chest expanding, the fabric of her clothing stretched tight—then—

Rip!

The fabric of her shirt finally tore at the chest.

“Ah, Boobie Girl’s boobies.”

The scene was just as Yua had described. Her chest was completely exposed.

"Please stop! Don't look!" Inglis stood in front of the memory of herself in the space, blocking everyone from seeing.

Watching this, Principal Miliera let out a sigh.

"Goodness, the conversation has veered off track."

"Ha ha, yes, it certainly has. It's quite lively."

Cough!

"Anyway, it seems that Senior Yua doesn't remember much of what happened. We should probably talk to the leader of the Ironblood Chain Brigade and Miss Cystia to get some answers."

The last time they had seen these people was on the battlefield in Arlman, where they had fought against the frozen Prisma. At that time, they had cooperated as allies due to the common enemy, but now, it was uncertain what would happen.

"Yes… Even aside from that, the refugees from Illuminus will be living here in Charalia from now on. To ensure they can live safely, we can't have them attacked by the Ironblood Chain Brigade, like Cyrene was."

As Special Envoy Theodore had said, Mais and the other Highlander refugees from Illuminus would remain on the surface. The island of Illuminus itself had crash-landed in the center of Vault Lake and remained still, and for those who had chosen to share a fate with Illuminus, staying there seemed the natural course.

With the Duke of Art, the core of Illuminus, now silent, the new anchor for these people would likely be Theodore, the son and successor of the Duke of Art.

These were the two reasons, in fact, for their desire to stay on the surface.

From now on, while they work on the restoration of Illuminus, they will rely on Charalia for food and other supplies. In return, they will provide Artifacts and the technology of the flygears. It seems like an arrangement that benefits both sides.

Rather than a relationship between the Highland and the Midland, this may become a precedent for both parties coexisting on the surface.

Special Envoy Theodore as well as the residents of Illuminus have always been extremely moderate as Highlanders and are friendly toward the nations on the surface.

If they cannot coexist with these people, it would be difficult to coexist with other Highlanders from different factions.

To demonstrate that it is possible for Highlanders to live on the surface, Mais and the others must show that they can live without issues there. And for this to succeed, they must not be obstructed by anti-Highland organizations like the Ironblood Chain Brigade—or so Theodore believed.

"Then, shall we negotiate with them?"

"If possible. They cooperated with us during the recent battle with the Prisma. I don't think they are completely unreasonable. Personally, I have some complicated feelings about it, but…"

That’s understandable. Theodore's younger sister, Cyrene, was transformed into a magic stone beast by the Ironblood Chain Brigade. He can't be indifferent to that fact.

"But I think it's a good idea! I agree! If Mais and the others can live happily in Charalia, then that's the best thing!"

Rafinha encouraged Special Envoy Theodore with a bright smile.

"Thank you, Miss Rafinha…! I can believe that I’m not on the wrong path if I heard that from you."

Theodore smiled at Rafinha with gratitude.

"N-, no, it's nothing… I just want to show Mais our hometown, Ymir, and hope that it becomes a world where people can go and have fun without worry."

"That's great. Please take him there. It will be a good opportunity for him to broaden his horizons."

"Yes…!"

"However, even if we want to negotiate, we still don’t have a grasp of the location of the Ironblood Chain Brigade’s headquarters or its true nature."

Inglis immediately interjects between Rafinha and Theodore. She must remain cautious and not allow them to get too close unnecessarily.

Just as Rafinha keeps insisting that Inglis marry Raphael, Inglis continues to insist that it’s still too early for Rafinha to have a boyfriend. Absolutely.
