Sunlight peeked over the horizon.
Scattered by the light, dust in the air began to glitter.

The town lit by the morning glow had become a different place in a single night.
Cobblestones crumbled to ruin by the aftershock of the fight.
The outer wall of Romulus Academy was deeply gouged by annihilation magic.

And Charlotte, Olivia, and Natasha, covered in wounds, battered.
All three sat limp on the ground.

The early-morning town was still. House doors opened one after another.
With sunrise the ban on going out at night was lifted, and the citizens of Romulus came outside.

“It was quite noisy. What was that sound?”

“Look! The road is a complete mess!!”

“Hey, someone’s down!”

Seeing the changed town, a stir rose among the citizens.
Charlotte stood in a hurry.

“Everyone! Please remain calm!!”

“That’s… Princess Charlotte?”

“The third princess… that appearance, what happened?”

“The Mad Princess? What’s she doing in a place like this?”

“Please calm down! It’s all right!!”

Charlotte did her desperate best to settle the stir.

“Please be at ease! There is no danger—”

Covered in wounds, she spoke to the citizens with gestures.
The citizens’ unrest, however, would not settle.

“Hey, someone’s down… that’s… don’t tell me, a vampire!?”

“Kyaaa, a vampire!”

“This is bad! Run, quickly!!”

With the vampire’s presence, the stir only spread.
In the midst of that, Olivia slowly got up.
The citizens’ racket did not seem to reach her ears at all.

“Haa… I have to heal the wounds… I’ll treat you at once…”

Healing magic loosed from Olivia’s staff.
At the same time, dazzling morning sun poured into the town.

And the citizens of Romulus witnessed a miraculous sight.

The wounded princess, speaking desperately to the people.
Lit by sunlight, she shone with a glittering, beautiful light.
Overlapped with the light of healing magic, it was as if she wore a golden ring on her back.
A shining, beautiful princess, attended by a girl with a mysterious staff and a girl with a silver-white sword.

“Look… how… how beautiful…”

“Haa… pretty…”

At the sheer divinity, the stir gradually settled.
At the same time, the vampire, symbol of terror, bathed in sunlight and vanished to ash.

“The vampire… vanished…”

“This is… don’t tell me, Lady Charlotte’s power…?”

“…An angel…”

A word slipped from someone’s mouth.
Hearing it, the citizens raised voices of joy one after another.

“Ah… it’s an angel…!”

“The vampire was defeated! Defeated by an angel!!”

“Lady Charlotte was the Angel of the Sun!!”

“No… I am not an angel…”

Charlotte tried to deny it. The wave of joy, however, could not be stopped.
Voices called more voices; the cheers became a great wave and spread through the town.

“Angel!!”

“The Angel of the Sun! She saved us from the vampire!!”

“Lady Charlotte! Angel of the Sun! Hurrah!!”

“””””Angel! Angel! Angel!!”””””

From early morning, the town of Romulus showed a great uproar.

From that day on, the girl who had been called the Mad Princess came to be called the Angel of the Sun.
