You think you're worthy of saving the world?

He cultivates both holy and magical arts, and has chosen the "Witch Master" role within the magic system.

Within the sacred system, he also has a goal: the job path named after the game "Goddess of Revelation"—

"The Book of Revelation".

Yuri looked up: "...We should probably head back too."

"Ah."

Cecilia lowered her head slightly and murmured in a voice only she could hear.

If Yuri were to save the world, I wish I were the one standing by your side...

"what?"

"N-nothing! Come on, let's go!"

This time it was Cecilia's turn to grab his wrist.

……

……

……

"Why were you gone for so long? Did you two go out to have sex...?"

"I was unable to control my emotions just now, I'm really sorry."

Upon returning to the living room, the Grand Duchess bowed deeply to the commoner girl on the sofa, offering a sincere apology.

“…………Hmm.”

The silver-haired witch, halfway through her humiliating remarks, looked utterly embarrassed.

023 A Knightly Duel Filled with Honor!

Cecilia continued speaking.

“I have deeply reflected on my inappropriate words and hope that you can put aside past grievances, forgive my offense, and support Lord Yuri and Miss Stella together from now on.”

"..."

Stella was easily swayed and had never received such a formal apology before.

"Okay...okay! I accept your apology! Now lift your head up!"

Under Yuri's smiling gaze, Stella scratched her cheek embarrassedly and muttered something.

"You're from the royal family, aren't you? How can you bow down to a commoner so easily... Tsk, what a hassle. I admit I was wrong too..."

Thus, the conflict between Cecilia and Stella was finally resolved satisfactorily, and they will surely be able to live together peacefully from now on.

A familiar, delicate fragrance wafted into the boy's nostrils, and a wonderfully heavy yet soft touch came from his arm.

Cecilia suddenly abandoned her usual composure and affectionately hugged Yuri's arm.

What are Yuri's plans for this afternoon?

"This afternoon, by the way... Cecilia, are you free?"

Yuri suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to report to her that he had been promoted to a first-tier knight.

I missed such a great atmosphere... Oh well, let's do it another day.

"I suddenly feel like practicing swordsmanship, could you please help me?"

"You want to practice swordsmanship? Not magic? Great! Of course, no problem!"

Cecilia smiled, a smile more beautiful than an angel's and more radiant than the sun.

"Yuri, you'd better be prepared. Even if it's you, I won't hold back and will definitely hone you!"

After saying this, the blonde knight looked at the silver-haired witch and gave her a smug look that said, "Did I win?"

"?"

"I have no interest in competing with you for this brat..." Stella thought to herself.

However, for some reason, the Grand Duke's daughter's arrogant and victorious attitude made her very unhappy.

As a result, Cecilia was in a state of extreme excitement all afternoon.

Yuri got thoroughly ravaged by her wooden sword.

[Completed Cecilia's swordsmanship course.]

The training was a great success.

[Gained a moderate amount of skill experience.]

[Swordsmanship level increased, current level: Lv2 → Lv.3.]

[Skills successfully learned: "Begging for mercy," "Playing dead," and "Sneak attack!"]

"Ambush!"...Isn't that the same divine skill that killed Teacher Dafei in the game?

Inexplicably, Yuri sensed a powerful destiny from this skill.

……

……

……

Early the next morning, Yuri climbed up to the third floor and used a key to unlock the attic door from the inside.

He told Stella to stay home and review what she had learned in the past two days, as he was going out today.

"Why do you always come in when other people are changing clothes! Go to hell!"

Bathed in the witch's angry roar, Yuri hummed a little tune as she stepped out the door.

Today's breakfast is breadsticks that the nun brought over before. They've been sitting in the storage room for two weeks, so it's a good opportunity to practice on my teeth.

The side dish was small cucumbers that Yuri grew on her balcony.

He walked happily down the streets of the Upper Town, breathing in the fresh morning air and munching on cucumbers and breadsticks.

The bells of the cathedral rang out melodiously, and the choir's devout chanting echoed from one side of the street, as all praised God's love.

If you look up, you can see a piece of land floating faintly in the sky.

Despite being shrouded in clouds, the cluster of aerial temples still exudes an overwhelming presence; this is the Papal Palace, located at the very top of the Papal City.

Yuri's destination today is not there.

Cecilia said yesterday that she wanted to give him a gift as a congratulatory present for Yuri's journey into the world of magic.

Despite Yuri's repeated refusals, she couldn't resist the "Sword Princess's" persistence.

"Is there anything you want, Yuri? Please tell me, it doesn't matter what it is!"

Yuri glanced casually at Cecilia's boots and then said.

"Give me a weapon, I want a knight's sword of my own."

Generally speaking, the swords of church knights are standard weapons issued by the Papacy.

Depending on their professional rank, the types of weaponry they can be equipped with also vary.

Knights below the second rank, like Yuri, can only use the most basic alloy longsword.

Of course, if you have the financial means, that's a different story.

The young ladies of the Lily Cross Knights almost all carry a sword bearing their family crest at their waist.

Yuri also wanted a weapon of his own, useful for both killing to silence witnesses and showing off in public.

“Okay,” Cecilia said with a doting expression. “I have tomorrow off, let’s go pick some out together?”

So they agreed to go to the downtown shopping street today to choose Yuri's sword together.

Yuri wondered if Cecilia had truly grasped that this was essentially a date.

When he arrived at the agreed location, he realized he had been overthinking things.

There were two figures waiting for his magnificent figure.

Those were two dazzling figures that made passersby stop and stare.

Cecilia was not wearing her usual knight uniform, but instead changed into a white dress.

The form-fitting fabric accentuated her curvaceous figure, and beneath the short skirt were her smooth, full, and fair legs.

From afar, she looks like a princess in a painting—magnificent, noble, and elegant, yet exuding an awe-inspiring presence.

Therefore, the one standing so casually beside the princess must be her personal knight.

After all, the two of them looked very well-matched just by standing together.

The slender, handsome young knight has androgynous looks, short blue hair, and clear eyes that resemble a pair of blue gems.

"Sister Safia is here too..."

Yuri took a bite of cucumber and suddenly realized something was wrong.

Princess Lily Cross and Prince Lily Cross were surrounded by four or five strange men reeking of alcohol, an eyesore.

The drunkards looked angry and embarrassed by their failed attempts to pick up girls, and they were uttering some harsh and offensive remarks.

As expected of the world of anime, Yuri remarked sincerely, there's never a shortage of thugs looking to pick a fight with the female lead.

"Stop pretending to be high and mighty, you seminary heiresses!"

The bald man at the head of the group placed his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, his eyes lecherously fixed on the two female knights.

"It's not like you'll die from hanging out with us. You guys skipped class to hang out with guys anyway, right? I've seen this kind of thing a lot... huh?"

Just then, the bald man noticed a white strip of cloth float down from above his head and fall to the ground.

Looking down and taking a closer look, I saw it was a white glove.

"What the hell?"

Just as the bald man was pondering what was going on, a clap of thunder echoed through the street.

"————Thump."
