You think you're worthy of saving the world?

Amelod breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to divert the two's attention.

She had just noticed that the carriage was being driven by a maid from the Valentine family.

Aimerod had met her once before when he visited the Grand Duchess's residence; she was a brown-skinned girl who served the Grand Duchess.

In other words, that carriage was...

A bead of cold sweat trickled down the black-haired girl's cheek: Why is Lord Yuri with Lady Cecilia's mother...?

……

……

……

Yuri quickly returned home.

As soon as I stepped into the living room, I saw Eileen dressed in a maid outfit and Annabelle dressed in a uniform.

"You're back, Master," they said in unison, bowing slightly.

"I have a job now."

Yuri handed the trench coat she had taken off to Annabelle and sat down on the sofa.

"Work?"

The secretary and the maid both showed curious reactions.

Yuri took a sip of the black tea that Eileen had brought over and slowly began to tell them about the "Phantom".

"The Night Watch's first job was to capture an assassin known as a 'Phantom.'"

What are the "Night Watchmen"?

Annabelle blinked.

Yuri replied, "If there are no objections, this will be the organization's name from now on."

The two nodded thoughtfully, and Yuri continued to explain.

"Based on the intelligence I have, I have roughly predicted the next target of 'Ghost'."

All we have to do is wait and see, until she walks right into our trap.

"understood."

Annabelle and Eileen exchanged a glance, their smiles revealing a glint in their eyes.

Both of them wanted to make a good impression on their master during their first job serving Yuri.

"By the way, Eileen."

"Yes, yes!"

The pink-haired maid trotted over and knelt respectfully before Yuri.

"I've already decided on the most suitable weapon for you."

Upon hearing this, Eileen showed an expectant expression.

She had just changed her job to "Combat Maid" a few days ago, but was having trouble choosing a weapon.

This is a profession known for its proficiency in a variety of weapons; however, Eileen has only studied swordsmanship during her school years and has no experience using other weapons.

"Should I have chosen a one-handed sword after all?"

Yuri told him to give her a few days, and then rushed to the library.

"Master, have you finally figured it out? A weapon that suits me?"

Under the enthusiastic gaze of the pink-haired maid, Yuri nodded and then spread her hands outwards.

"Eileen... your unique skill 'Sadistic Spirit' can greatly increase damage during battle, but at the same time you will also suffer multiple times the damage."

Although it sounds like a terrible double-edged sword, if used properly, this skill can make you the best warrior.

Magic swept through the room like a whirlwind, and the outline of a long, beautiful, and strangely shaped weapon gradually appeared in the black-haired boy's palm.

"This...this is...!?"

Eileen's eyes widened in delight.

Yuri gazed at the elegantly designed weapon in her hand and calmly said, "This is the strongest weapon I created for you, befitting your role as a 'battle maid.'"

The weapon, made of carefully selected walnut wood, is just over one meter long, with a bayonet for close combat mounted at the front, gleaming coldly under the light.

The magical weapon that Yuri recreated using textbooks on magic technology is named—

Springfield M1903 bolt-action rifle.

136 Night Raid (The meaning of OO)

firearms.

This is the weapon that Yuri thought was most suitable for Eileen, who possesses a "sadistic spirit."

To be precise, it is a bolt-action single-shot sniper rifle, designed for a one-shot kill with maximum range and precision.

In Yuri's previous life in the Middle Ages, the crossbow was considered an unjust, demonic weapon by knights.

It wasn't because the crossbow possessed the terrifying power to penetrate the full-body armor that was the defensive ceiling of the cold weapon era.

More importantly, the crossbow is very easy to learn; even children and women can easily master it and kill enemies.

The advent of the crossbow rendered the exceptional swordsmanship or archery skills that a knight had honed over decades a joke.

Firearms can be considered a complete upgrade to crossbows, making them perfect for Eileen, who has little combat experience.

The reason for choosing the Springfield instead of a more modern model or a semi-automatic sniper rifle is that it was chosen.

On one hand, it's Yuri's own aesthetic sense; the combination of a bolt-action rifle and a maid outfit is pleasing to the eye.

On the other hand, with his magical skills, he can only currently reproduce rifles at the level of World War I technology.

Regarding ammunition, Yuri has already taught Annabelle how to make magical bullets.

With her "logistics management" skill, she is able to create the most accurate magic bullets.

The 7.62x63mm special rifle bullet contains magic ore instead of gunpowder inside the bullet—possessing greater lethality than gunpowder.

After that, Yuri taught Eileen the basics of using a bolt-action rifle.

The three of them discussed things in the living room until after 1 a.m. before returning to their respective rooms.

"Oh right, there's something important I forgot to mention."

Yuri called out to the two who were preparing to rest.

"Our target this time is an assassin named 'Ghost'—"

Her next target is your father.

Annabelle's mouth dropped open as the black-haired boy stared at her.

……

……

……

On the second day, Yuri went to the seminary as usual.

Starting tonight, he will be taking Annabelle and Irene on a mission.

But before that, Eileen must get used to her new weapon.

St. Cromwell has a small shooting range specifically for practicing archery, and Eileen and Annabelle used their privilege as head instructors to book the entire day for training.

Even though the two of them were going to run away from the seminary to go with her soon, they were still using the school facilities... Thinking of this, Yuri felt very sorry for Principal Joseph.

I'll come back and donate when I become a well-known alumnus.

It was lunchtime, and everyone who had finished lunch in the cafeteria gathered together to chat.

Amelod took a sip of black tea and placed the teacup back on the saucer.

"There are very few more leisurely moments like this left."

Ruby held the pudding, her dessert, and looked up at the ceiling.

"The Lily Cross Knights are disbanding next month."

Safia poked around in her plate with her fork.

All good things must come to an end.

Yuri glanced at the three of them and comforted them, "Hey, why are you all so down today?"

Although the Knights are disbanding, it doesn't mean we won't see each other starting next month.

I'm still everyone's friend, and I'll continue to attend classes and hang out with you all.

The three vice-commanders of the Lily Cross received orders from the Papal Court this morning to begin preparations for the disbandment and aftermath of the order.

As officers, the three of them devoted more effort to the Knights than anyone else over the years.

The name "Lily Cross" carries countless memories for girls, and it's hard for anyone to accept that it's about to disappear without a trace.

Yuri was certainly saddened, but he also knew that the dissolution of the Lily Cross was inevitable, and the Child of Prophecy could not remain a protected caged bird forever.

Having awakened her past life memories, the Child of Prophecy has gained far more prestige and power than she did at the same time in the original game storyline, making the Lily Cross even less relevant.

It could also be said that Yuri personally destroyed the organization that had once protected him.

“Even if the Lily Cross is gone, everyone will still be important to me,” Yuri said.

"That's what they say, but Yuri has made a lot of new friends lately."

Safia looked at the black-haired boy with a mischievous smile: "You used to always be the one clinging to your older sister."

"There has never been such a past, don't talk nonsense."

“Can’t the Lily Cross system be preserved?” Ruby said with a lonely expression. “It’s too sudden to disband it all at once… At least give us a buffer period! A buffer period!”

What kind of buffer period?

"For example... Lily Cross will continue its closed beta operation until Yuri's wedding day, at which point it will be officially disbanded!"
