O-Oh...

...What happened?

That's why he refuses to talk to anyone about his debut battle.

It's all in the past, though... There is always a winner and loser in knight sports... He doesn't care about me.

...Mr. Tytus seemed to recognize Margaret.

Yep. The three members of Blade Helmet Knightclub, including him, tried to encircle Margaret during the melee, but ended up getting annihilated instead. Who would accept such an outrageous thing?

I-Is Margaret so merciless?

Margaret was very young back then.

...What was she thinking?

What do you mean?

I remember that she hated knight sports more than anything, right? There was a time when I even thought that she was just like Uncle Młynar...

But in the end, she still went and became a competition knight, and even became the Radiant Knight...

...I don't know what she was thinking either. But she should be more aware than most what the knight sports represent.

Even so, she still went, and climbed to the peak.

At the very least, there were quite a few people who fervently admired Margaret and were inspired by her to become knights, including me.

Ehehe...To be honest, that was part of the reason for me too...

Who knows, maybe the reason she became the champion was to get a few more Zofias and Marias.

Is that it?

I don't know either.

I wonder if she's living well, at that Rhodes Island place...

Ahh—!

Wh-What? Don't surprise me like that...

Th-There's a notch on my blade...

Ugh... You haven't been able to properly maintain your weapons, so it's not surprising that it ended up like this.

Can you deal with it yourself?

*Sigh* Maybe, if I could borrow Master Kowal's workshop...

What's up, V? Focus on driving. Don't make me get out and call a taxi.

I'm just thinking about those two squirrels... If you get out now I swear I'll run you over.

...Those Infected, huh.

That day we almost got into a fight. Those people outside... could they have been?

Most likely.

Have they set their sights on Maria as well? Why?

...You're overthinking it.

Is it gonna rain the day after tomorrow?

Cloudy.
