You think you're worthy of saving the world?

Black Knight enthusiasts ignored criticism from others and exploited the bug at will, while those who disapproved mocked that it would be fixed in the next version.

Surprisingly, however, "Oath of the Enemy" has not been fixed even in the latest game progress.

In other words, this may not be a bug, but rather a legitimate professional characteristic.

Yuri once went to the library to research the infamous Black Knights of history and discovered that their enemies were basically vampires, great demons, troll lords, and so on...

In other words, people in the real world are unaware of this bug... wait, how can this be considered a bug? It's a perfectly legitimate professional characteristic!

Yuri decides to become the world's first Black Knight who is universally hated.

"Yuri, are you really going to choose the Black Knight? We might face discrimination when teaming up in Singularities later, right?"

Ruby and the others were still trying to persuade her.

Although Yuri knew they meant well, she was getting annoyed by their constant nagging.

Just as he was preparing to defy public opinion,

"I support Lord Yuri."

Everyone turned around and saw that it was Amelod, who had been silent all along.

The girl with long, straight black hair said without changing her expression.

"Lord Yuri must have had his reasons for choosing the Black Knight."

Ruby, Safia, let's just stay here and support him quietly.

They wanted to say something more, Amelod added.

“Lord Yuri and Miss Stella are different; they don’t choose their lives just because something ‘sounds cool,’ don’t they? Don’t you understand that?”

"Yeah...that's right."

Ruby and Safia nodded, while Camus said, "Since it's Yuri's decision..."

"I feel like Amelod's demeanor has changed recently. Has something happened?" Safia suddenly narrowed her eyes sharply.

“No.” Amelod turned his head away with a snort.

"Since no one has any objections..."

Yuri turned to the blonde knight beside her: "Cecilia, what do you say?"

"……what!"

When her name was called, "Sword Girl" straightened up, her full breasts trembling up and down.

—She had been spacing out.

"What's wrong?" Yuri frowned. "So you also think the Black Knight is bad?"

No...no, that's not it.

Cecilia scratched her slightly flushed cheeks, feeling quite embarrassed, and began to speak.

"I...I just thought 'Black Knight Euryphus' sounded super cool, and I just spaced out...boohoo."

—So this is where the real chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) is.

Ruby and Safia, seeing Cecilia's adorable appearance, immediately gathered around her and teased her.

"Your Highness is such a lecher!"

"So...lustful!? That's not it at all!"

After saying that, she lowered her head shyly and gave Yuri a resentful look.

"Because he's really handsome, just thinking about it makes me..."

"Wow~~~"

Ruby and Safia stood on either side of her, grinning mischievously.

"Alright, stop teasing Lady Cecilia."

Amelod stopped the two who were egging him on.

"Now that Lord Yuri has made his decision, shall we proceed to the temple for the job change ceremony?"

"Huh? Is everyone going too?" Yuri asked.

"Don't you want us to come along?" Amelod asked, puzzled.

"Uh."

The Black Knight's class change ceremony requires selecting an enemy.

It's somewhat shameful to shout "My enemy is myself!" in front of my friends...

"Okay, let's go."

Yuri got up from her classroom chair.

143 Yuri, became an emotionless beam cannon launcher!

Euryphus and his party arrived at a church in the upper town.

There are several churches in the upper part of the Papal City, and Yuri and his companions went to the one that was far away from the commercial and residential streets.

In Yuri's memory, there were no magnificent sculptures here, and the flow of people was relatively sparse. He liked to come here when he was a child because it could calm him down.

The person who greeted everyone was a priest with thinning hair who looked stern and unsmiling. His black robes were solemn and dignified.

"Good afternoon, Father Vaughan."

The middle-aged priest immediately softened his expression upon seeing Euryphus and the girls behind him.

"Good afternoon, Lord Euryphus, and everyone from the Lily Cross."

“This is Camus, my classmate at the seminary,” Yuri introduced Camus to him.

Father Vaughn then realized that one of the companions of the Prophet's Child was not a Lily Cross Knight.

Although she was wearing the same men's suit school uniform as Yuri, the androgynous beauty and slender figure of the gray-silver-haired boy could easily lead people to mistake her for someone else.

“Hello, Father Vaughan,” Camus greeted respectfully, bowing his head.

"Are you all here to volunteer today?" the priest asked.

Yuri quickly shook his head: "No, that's not it. There's something else going on today."

When he was only seven or eight years old, he started helping out at the church, doing volunteer work such as cleaning every week.

Although the Upper City has a large religious population, there are also quite a few churches, and this remote church often faces a shortage of manpower.

The Papal Court seems to have realized its mistake a few years ago: even as the main religious center, there was no need to build so many churches with overlapping functions; it was a clear waste of resources.

Therefore, this remote church was deliberately kept to a minimum, with its expenses reduced to just the bare minimum.

Yuri explained the situation to Father Vaughn, saying that he was there to undergo an initiation ceremony.

"Ah, I see. That's quite surprising. Although I've been hearing about Lord Euryphus's deeds from time to time lately..."

Father Vaughn widened his narrow eyes slightly and said with deep emotion, "But you really have reached the third rank, that's truly remarkable."

Actually, it's the fourth rank, although I just advanced to it last night.

“You flatter me. I was just lucky to receive help from a lot of people,” Yuri added. “I was planning to come and report to Father Vaughn when I had the chance.”

The priest praised politely, "You've grown up quite a bit, Lord Euryphus. It's wonderful to see the prophetic child, who was just a child, now become such an outstanding young man."

The two, who were more than thirty years apart in age, chatted amicably. Cecilia and the others, who were observing, did not notice the age difference between them at all, but only felt that their relationship was very harmonious.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they began to prepare for Euryph's job change ceremony.

"Are you planning to switch to the 'Black Knight' class?" Vaughn asked, slightly surprised. "I thought you would definitely choose the 'White Knight' or the 'Guardian'."

"Yes, as you've probably heard, I've recently been studying magic, and the 'Black Knight' is a more suitable choice for me."

Father Vaughn glanced at the female knights behind the boy and found that they all had calm expressions.

It seems that the Prophet and the Lily Cross had already held a round of discussions before coming to the church.

Since this was a decision made by the young people after discussion, there's no need for me, as an adult, to say anything more.

At Father Vaughn's prompting, Yuri stood on the altar.

The melodious and grand sound of the pipe organ echoed above the church, while pale light cascaded down from the stained-glass dome.

The ceremony itself was very simple, and there was nothing particularly noteworthy about it.

The only commotion was when Yuri announced his "Oath of the Enemy," declaring, "As the Black Knight, my chosen enemy is Yurifis Falsion."

Everyone, including Father Vaughan and the Lily Cross, wore expressions of disbelief.

"Wait...wait a minute, Yuri!"

Cecilia rushed up to the altar, grabbed his arm, and asked excitedly, "Do you know what you're saying?"

Yuri had anticipated her reaction and nodded: "I understand."

"Who would consider their enemy as their own? That's outrageous!"

“This is my truest feeling,” Yuri said.

Father Vaughn also came over.

“Lord Yuri, it is not shameful to harbor hatred in your heart.”

In his heart, Euryphus was still a gentle child.

Therefore, he naturally assumed that Euryphus must not want to hold grudges against others, which is why he made the "oath of the enemy" his own.

"As long as your heart is turned toward the light, you will have nothing to fear even in the darkness. The goddess of the night will protect your choices."

Father Vaughn said that as long as your faith is sincere enough, hatred will not affect your mind.

The black-haired boy shook his head: "No."

"?"

"I truly believe that the only enemy I face is myself."

Yuri's statement left everyone speechless.

They looked at each other, then smiled with relief.
