Chapter 116: 15-year-old Inglis and Hyrule Menaces' Escorting Directive (24)
Five days had passed since the commander of the Imperial Guard Order, Redas, visited.
As of now, Ripple was still in the care of the Knight Academy. Silva conducted himself well, delaying the handover for as long as he could.
It was known to all members of the order that Silva was the younger brother of their commander, so even if Silva was being a bit obvious that he was purposely making the transfer take more time, there was no one who publicly made a problem out of it. In fact, with the end of the negotiation with Highland being nowhere near in sight, it only further supported the postponement of the handover.

Lahti’s skill in piloting the Flygear to maximize its performance and speed was said to be the best amongst all students, it seemed. Pullum joined Lahti as his escort at her own request. In addition, if something went wrong with the Flygear, she could be of some use as a power source to supply Mana directly with her Rune.
Currently, everyone was maintaining the status quo while waiting for the two’s return. On the surface, everything was as usual. But for those who were in the know, the tension was growing by the day.
Even under such circumstances, nature was still a fickle thing.
That night, Prism Flow was pouring down on the Royal Capital. Glittering rainbow-colored rain and dew danced across the night sky.
In the middle of such a fantastic and terrific scene, Leone and Liselotte were flying in the sky. With the help of the wings from Liselotte’s Artifact, they were soaring together.
「Hurry up, Liselotte! That Magic Stone Beast is trying to attack a house!」
