A new year has dawned, and the chaos in Sphenedyardvania has been mostly resolved. There’s just one thing left for Beryl to do—replace Allucia’s broken sword! Beryl agonizes over what blade could be worthy of her exceptional skills as the knight commander, and after much deliberation, he decides to have one forged using material from a certain named monster. As spring blooms from winter’s thaw, the Liberion Order prepares to welcome new blood into their ranks, and Beryl watches over the fledgling knights as they take their entrance exams. Then, during an expedition to the north, Beryl renews an old connection with a childhood friend and...visits a hot spring?! With Allucia?! As Beryl relaxes in the heat of the hot spring, can he acknowledge the new feelings warming his heart?
