Volume 2 Chapter 16 Epilogue! From Now On!
"Due to this recent incident, the suitability of Knight Rize Howell has been recognized, and it has been decided to officially appoint her as a member of the Purge Knights. The date for the ceremony will be announced later."
In the office located in the Holy Knight building, Rize officially receives her appointment from Special Agent Priest Curtis.
The Purge Knight was a place she had long admired and aspired to reach.
Yet, even at the moment she could grasp it, her expression held a hint of gloom.
"What's wrong? You look like you've got the weight of the world on your shoulders."
Rai, who was present, questioned her with curiosity.
In response, she answered, seemingly perplexed.
"No, I ended up letting the Reincarnator escape during this mission, and more importantly, my senior who accompanied me got severely injured. How can someone as inexperienced as me──"
Hearing her words, Rai couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.
Agent Curtis also smiled wryly.
"Rize, it's thanks to you that things didn't blow up in our faces."
"Yeah, your response was spot on. And if you managed to take on multiple dragons, you clearly have what it takes."
"R-Really?"
Rai and Agent Curtis nodded at her lack of confidence.
This made her slowly come to terms with it.
──Thus, Rize Howell was appointed as the 8th-ranked Purge Knight.

I ponder behind Rai's consciousness.
At that moment, when Rai opened the door and stepped inside, he lost consciousness and collapsed.
Then, he suddenly suffered severe damage to several ribs and internal organs.
Even though nothing happened, blood began to pour from his mouth.
──I couldn't do anything about it.
After that, when Rai regained consciousness, my memories couldn't sync.
Therefore, I only learned what happened during that time when Rai reported to Agent Curtis.
What I understood from this incident is that, whether intentional or not, the opponent has a method──cheat (special ability)──to sever the connection between Rai and me.
That's why, this was a grave situation.
An enemy that can separate me from Rai.
──I gotta take this guy out, no matter what, and do it fast.
I'm so totally, like, decided, you know?
