The leader of the four was called Egret, the current lord of the Saiat Domain at the border of the Meromag Kingdom.
Because she admired Ryuga's swordsmanship, she wanted to be his disciple. In the end, she was appointed by Ryuga as a housekeeper and was responsible for managing the affairs of the manor.
Of the three people behind her, the one with the dead fish eyes who was holding the shield was the Hero of the Shield, Shogun Iwatani. If there were no surprises, he would be the main character of this world. The two people behind him were his slave and the demon.
The raccoon girl was called Raftalia. She was a demi-human from the Saiat Domain. Her parents and village were destroyed in the first wave. She was bought by Iwatani Shangwen when she became a slave.
The blonde girl with snow-white wings was called Filo. She was a Filo Bird Queen raised by Iwatani Shangwen. Because she was still young, her strength wasn't too strong. However, she was the strongest damage dealer of the three and was appointed by Filo as her successor.
Egret trotted in front of Ryuga and respectfully bowed to him.
Although Ryuga didn't take her as a disciple, he taught her some swordsmanship which benefited her a lot. He deserved her bow.
"Yin-yang -sama, welcome back!"
Egret was pleasantly surprised: "You're finally done with your business?"
"More or less."
Ryuga nodded indifferently.
"Yin-yang -sama, thank you for letting us stay here during this time."
Raftalia also came in front and thanked Ryuga.
She reached out and pulled Iwatani Shangwen's clothes, making him walk over awkwardly.
After the battle of Karmilla Island.
Iwatani Shangwen's soul was damaged due to the Mystic Dragon absorbing a lot of negative emotions. It was Ryuga who brought him back and told him that he could use the Soul Healing Water to heal him. He also lent his manor to them to stay.
In this month, they stayed in Ryuga's manor. It could be said that they owed Ryuga a big favor.
Iwatani hated owing people favors, so he wasn't in a good mood, but he still thanked Ryuga.
Yin-yang stood to the side and silently watched Ryuga communicate with the others.
It wasn't that she didn't want to talk, but she realized that she couldn't understand their language. She only heard Japanese when Iwatani spoke, so she couldn't interrupt.
But she was keenly aware of one thing.
That heroic girl with a long sword on her waist seemed to call Ryuga "Lord Yin-yang"?
"These are just small matters. Don't worry about them."
Ryuga waved her hand and stopped them from thanking her.
"Compared to that, I want to ask you something. Do you know where the Heavenly Wood Refinement is now?"
In fact, Ryuga had left a monitoring rune on them, but because she had been away for a month without a supply of magic power, the rune naturally dissipated, and she didn't know where they were now.
Of course, she could use Future Vision to find them, but she should be able to get more information from them.
"Heavenly Wood Refinement? What do you want now? "
Iwatani's dead fish eyes suddenly became strange, and he looked at Ryuga with fear.
In the past, the Four Saint Heroes were Heavenly Wood Refinement, Kawachi Tsuki, Kitamura Motoyasu, and himself.
But later, the Four Saint Heroes became Heavenly Wood Refinement, Kitamura Motoyasu, himself, and Yin-yang Ryuga.
Kawachi Tsuki was gone.
He was killed by Ryuga, and even his holy weapon was taken away.
He even made a name for himself. In the current Meromark Kingdom, the name of the Hero of the Bow, Liuxia of Two Forms, was known by everyone. Even the bards were singing about his name and deeds, attracting the attention of the world.
So even though Ryuga had helped him a few times, Iwatani still felt anxious whenever he saw Ryuga. He was afraid that he would be killed by Ryuga and his Divine Shield would be taken away.
Hearing that Ryuga wanted to find the Hero of the Sword, Heavenly Wood Refinement, Iwatani suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Yin-yang -sama, all the Four Saint Heroes are now under the command of the Queen for training."
Agrid took the initiative to answer Ryuga's question and explained it to him in detail.
"In the battle of Kalmilla, the Hero of the Sword, Heavenly Wood Refinement, and the Hero of the Spear, Kitamura Motoyasu, were ambushed and fainted before they could even participate in the wave battle. They were not of any use at all, so the Queen thought that they were too weak, so she decided to hold a group training for the Four Saint Heroes …"
Ryuga was also responsible for this.
Heavenly Wood Refinement and Kitamura Motoyasu fainted because their negative emotions were absorbed by the Mystic Dragon, so they did not even participate in the wave battle.
Although Iwatani's negative emotions were also absorbed by the Mystic Dragon, he was still able to face the wave together with Ryuga and defeated many wave monsters. He even contributed to the defeat of the wave boss Narwhal.
In comparison, the two Saint Heroes did not do anything at all. They even used medical resources to save them, so they were really a burden.
The Queen thought that they were too weak, so there was nothing she could do.
For the sake of Merlomag's future, she had to find a way to strengthen the Four Saint Heroes.
Although Ryuga was also one of the Four Saint Heroes, he was too strong, so they could only look up to him. They would be thankful if he could occasionally help them, but they could not count on him to protect Merlomag, so they could only invest in a few useless Four Saint Heroes.
Therefore, she held a group training for the Four Saint Heroes in an attempt to strengthen the current strength of the Four Saint Heroes.
"As a swordsmanship instructor, I also participated in this group training."
Egret patted Ryuga's chest and said proudly, "This is all thanks to Yin-yang -sama's guidance. If Yin-yang -sama wants to find the Hero of the Sword, Heavenly Wood Refinement, he can come with us to the group training tomorrow morning."
The group training had just started two days ago.
There was nothing she could do about it. After all, the three Heroes had been unconscious. Only after the three of them had woken up did the Queen begin the Hero training.
In fact, the Queen also invited Ryuga, but she could not find him, so she did not invite him.
"Okay, then let's go to the training place tomorrow."
Ryuga nodded and made the decision.
"It's late today, I'll tell the servants to cook. You and Miss Esders's rooms have been cleaned by someone."
She hesitated for a moment and looked at the two girls in kimono. Her expression was a little strange.
"That … Did Miss Esders and the others not come back?"
"No, you prepare another room for Ssama."
Ryuga ignored Egret's strange expression and just gave the order indifferently.
Iwatani and the others had been training for a day and were already tired, so they quickly went to take a bath and rest.
After the few people left.
"Why didn't I know your surname is Yin-yang before?"
Yin-yang -sama squinted her eyes and looked at Ryuga with a deep gaze.
"Isn't this something that will happen sooner or later?"
Ryuga looked at her in surprise with a 'what's there to be surprised about' expression.
"…"
Well, she underestimated this girl's shamelessness.
