Chapter
Kuuga’s Magic Power
That day, Kuuga’s ears drooped the entire time. Usually, Kuuga wagged his tail and rubbed up affectionately against those he had accepted. But on this day, he radiated an uncharacteristically gloomy air. Anyone familiar with the usual Kuuga couldn’t help but worry. Uros, Edalion, and Louis, who had been present at the time, knew the circumstances, but Heki and others, unaware of what had happened, were utterly shocked. "D-does something trouble you, Master Kuuga? Has something…-

The Senior Retainers 3
First and foremost was Yog. Of everyone present, he was the most intimidating. Kuuga sat obediently before the cheerfully amused Yog, tapping his tail lightly on the floor. Sensing Kuuga’s intent, Gadilas stepped in to assist. “Kuuga wishes to greet you.” “Hoho, well, what an honor this is. Pleased to make your acquaintance, Master Kuuga.” Kuuga bowed his head and nuzzled his brow against Yog’s hand. As Uros had mentioned before, many people believed the Divine Beast should not be…-

The Senior Retainers 2
“Lestalion.” At the sound of his name, Lestalion Ria Edeios flinched ever so slightly. He was one of the royals present at the ritual—the one who had shown the most visible frustration at the outcome. With the appearance of a foreign prince reminiscent of Edalion, though perhaps with a sterner air, Lestalion wore armor that looked both ornate and costly. Lestalion served as the commander of the knight order, and his skill with the sword was said to be exceptional. He was an admired figure…-

The Senior Retainers 1
A week and a few days had passed since the day of the ritual, and Kuuga was made to attend a certain meeting. It was a council assembled for the senior retainers, but to Kuuga’s surprise, it was his first time seeing the seven people gathered there. In other words, although they were high-ranking officials, not one of those seven had met with Gadilas in the past week or so. Apparently, they had been trying to keep public affairs afloat, which had stagnated under the previous king. If that was the…-

A Stroll, Part 2
‘…Hm?’ Suddenly, at the far end of the flowerbed, Kuuga’s eyes caught sight of a small path, half-concealed by trees. At the entrance to this path floated about five green lights, bobbing in the air. They were the green counterpart to the red lights Kuuga had seen when Gadilas used magic. Did it mean there was magic at work over there? Kuuga wondered, watching curiously. Beyond the path, he could make out an old, decrepit-looking tower. He had never noticed a tower in that spot before.…-

A Stroll, Part 1
From the following day, Kuuga began bringing books into the office and held study sessions with Louis, sitting across the low table in front of the sofa. Louis, while not so knowledgeable as to earn the title of a true scholar, seemed up to the task since what he needed to teach consisted mainly of the customs of this country and world. Those who visited the office, upon seeing Kuuga’s new routine, all showed surprise, yet no one made any effort to explain it. Because of this, rumors spread…-

Gadilas’s Reaction
Before they realized it, Kuuga and the others had spent a considerable amount of time in the library. Deciding it was a good stopping point, they wrapped up their research and returned to Gadilas’s office. “Louis, was there any trouble?” Gadilas, visibly relieved to see them return safely, addressed Louis. Louis bowed once before beginning his report. “There was a slight commotion when we entered the library, but I managed to convince them, and we were able to use the library as…-

My Name
Though the Royal Guard had only a few members, they had been reformed, and once more, sentinels stood watch in the office and Gadilas’s bedchamber. With this, Kuuga finally found Gadilas in a somewhat safer situation. Now that Louis, too, had come to him after completing the handover of duties, Kuuga felt inclined to take a look around the castle while Gadilas was at work. “Divine Beast, is there somewhere you’d like to go?” Perhaps Louis had already thought the same, for he asked before…-

Heki, the Villainous Face
To his surprise, Louis ended up being appointed as Kuuga's escort. However, things did not proceed with a “let’s start today,” as Louis—clearly fascinated by Kuuga—left the office somewhat reluctantly to complete his transfer paperwork. Apparently flustered that his top recommendation hadn’t been chosen, Edalion was in no position to poach large numbers from the Red Knights to which he belonged. He rushed off, announcing that he would gather candidates from other knight orders as…-

The Refreshing Man
That night, after all the knights and servants who had been guarding Gadilas were reassigned, it was astonishingly peaceful. It turned out that, while he had seemed well-protected, he was actually surrounded by foes. A chilling realization. With nothing to do before bed, Gadilas attempted to train Kuuga in some tricks. Of course, since Kuuga understood speech, there was no need for repeated practice—Gadilas knew this as well. The training wasn't about commands in words, but about recognizing…-
