One can never be too carefu...

And to the layabout’s credit, he does just that. Until, that is, the appearance of a nosy and rambunctious holy knight.Forced into the role of the knight’s apprentice, Inori now has to navigate the perils o...

Physical and mental. And thanks to his new plaything, Sylph, he’s got the perfect means to that end.Ariya witnesses this from afar, and she arrives at a few conclusions. What t...
