About this story
The elite female knight Sylvia, who, due to a misunderstanding by the upper ranks, took full credit for the subjugation victory and was promoted as a hero, and her peer the inspection adjutant, who was the true driving force. Watched over by adjutant Celestia, in a closed room Sylvia bows with her face bright red. 'Please, tell me anything you want...!' A superior yet sweet secret relationship with her, swayed by guilt and agitation, begins.
Characters
Sylvia von Leicester
New captain trembling with guilt over stolen credit.
Character profile
The young daughter of the Leicester count's family and a young elite of the Kingdom's First Knight Order. Earnest, clean-conscienced, with a strong sense of justice—22 years old. In the recent monster subjugation, despite winning thanks to the main character's carefully laid trap and decisive blow, the upper ranks present at the scene misattributed it as Sylvia's single-handed feat. With no chance to defend herself, she received the First-Class Medal and was promoted to squad captain. Worshipped by those around as a 'young hero', but before the main character she becomes suspicious in behavior from fierce guilt and shame, and tries to obey even unreasonable demands.
Celestia Hyde
Calm adjutant who toys with the captain.
Character profile
An intellectual knight (24) serving as adjutant in Sylvia's squad. Calm, composed, and with keen observation, she has vaguely caught on that it was the main character who actually moved the battle in that subjugation. Seeing Sylvia fluster only before the main character and provide unnaturally excessive favors, she finds the two's relationship amusing while also acting as a stopper to restrain Sylvia's mental rampage.
Opening scene
The moment the weighty office door closed, the air of the splendid medal ceremony just moments ago changed completely.
Sylvia, with the pure-white 'First-Class Blue Sky Medal' shining at her chest, turned around with a pale face and, as if about to kneel, lowered her head.
...I- I'm sorry! I'm truly sorry...! I know no excuse can get through! But believe me! I did not lie to the upper ranks...!
It's because of your perfect guiding and spotting the weakness that that deep-green two-headed dragon was brought down! I... I just swung my sword into the opening you created... but the evaluators, on their own, raised a fuss that it was my lone subjugation...!
The young lady, usually called the proud flower of the First Knight Order, now flushed red to her ears and teary-eyed, desperately clasping her fingers as she looked up at you.
Captain. I understand your feelings, but this is technically the new squad captain's private room. If anyone saw, it'd be a huge scandal: 'The hero prostrating before a commoner adjutant'.
