The light disappeared just as quickly as it had appeared. A man and three women wearing strange, sleeveless black skin-tight clothes were half-kneeling on the ground. Behind them was a purple magic array that was still rotating.
"The activation of the Book of Darkness has been confirmed." Among the four people, a woman with a pink ponytail was half-kneeling in front of them. She lowered her head and said softly.
"We are the Guardian Knights in charge of collecting the Book of Darkness and protecting our master." Then, kneeling on the right side of the pink-haired woman with a ponytail, a woman with short blonde hair who looked like a married woman said.
"We are here to protect the master of the Night Sky," the only man among the four said.
"We are the Windcloud Knights." She was the youngest of the four, even younger than Gale. She had a head of red braids and was the last to speak.
"Erm, you said you are my Guardian Knights?" Yagami Gale asked carefully.
"Yes, master." The woman with the pink ponytail, Signo, who was the leader of the Windcloud Knights, lowered her head and replied.
"Erm, my name is Yagami Gale. You can call me Gale. As the master of the Book of Darkness, I will take good care of you as my Guardian Knights! Fortunately, I have some skills and am good at cooking. Hehe, "Yagami Gale said after he recovered.
"Apologies, master. You are the master of the Book of Darkness, not the master of the Book of Darkness," the woman with short blonde hair, Shammar, reminded carefully.
"Eh? Book of Darkness? " Yagami Gale looked at the brown hardcover book in his hand in confusion. He turned to Sei Itō and asked, "Big Brother. Is that name wrong? "
"That's right. This book was originally called the Book of Night Sky. It was a magic book created by the ancient Berucca civilization to store information. However, when a certain owner obtained it, he added a virus program to the book, causing the Book of Night Sky to become the Book of Darkness. This is also the reason why your legs were paralyzed by its erosion in the past," Ito Sei explained softly.
"Is what you said true?" Signo looked up and asked seriously.
"Yes," Sei Itō confirmed with a nod.
"Then why don't we remember the name of the Book of Darkness?" Vita, who had a thick ponytail behind her head, questioned.
"Perhaps the previous master did something to the program and affected your memories. That's why you don't know your true identity," Sei Itō replied.
Signo frowned. Shammar, Vita, and the only male among them, Zafira, looked at each other. Their eyes flashed with a serious look.
"Well, let's not talk about this. Let me take your measurements." While Ito Sei and the Wind and Cloud Knight were talking, Yagami Hayakawa ran to the side and took out a tape measure from a small cabinet on the desk.
Ever since he could remember. The Windcloud Knights who had never been treated by their master was stunned.
"Oh. What are your names? "He walked over to Vita. Yagami Gale, who was measuring Vita's three measurements with a tape measure, asked again.
"I am Signo, the Sword Knight. I am also the leader of the Windcloud Knights," Signo stood up and replied.
"I am Shammar. I am the Lake Knight. I am the healer of the Windcloud Knights, "Shammar continued.
"My name is Zafira. I am master's guardian beast," Zafira, who had short grey hair, said.
"My name is Vita. I am the Red Knight. I am in charge of attacking," Vita, who had stepped aside after his measurements were taken, replied.
"Oh," Yagami Gale, who was focused on measuring Zafira's measurements, replied softly.
Gale's measurement speed was very fast. After a little more than a minute, he had finished measuring Signo, Shammar, Vita, and Zafira's measurements and recorded them.
"Alright, I will buy you a change of clothes tomorrow," Yagami Gale said happily.
"Oh, right. I forgot to introduce you to everyone." Then, Yagami Gale seemed to have thought of something. He raised his right fist and hit his head lightly. At the same time, he stuck out his little tongue and said cutely.
"This person beside me is Sei Itō. He is my brother," Yagami Gale pointed at Sei Itō and introduced him.
Ito Sei nodded at Signo and the other three and continued to observe their physical condition. He was amazed by the advanced technology of ancient Berucca to be able to achieve such a heaven-defying technology as materialization of energy.
"This is Fet, Fet Testerrosa. He is my good friend." Yagami Gale walked to the door and introduced Fet Testerrosa, who had taken off his battle gear, to the Windcloud Knights.
"Hello," Fet greeted them softly.
"Hello," Signo returned the greeting on behalf of the others.
"The one over there is Elva. She is Fet's family member," Yagami Gale said as he pointed at Elva, who was sizing up Zafira with interest.
Looking at Elva and Zafira, who both had wolf ears and wolf tails, Sei Itō couldn't help but think, Could it be that these two are having an affair? I don't remember the original work mentioning what happened to them in the end.
"Master, please bestow us a set of knight armor," Signo requested Yagami Gale again after everyone had gotten to know each other.
"Knight armor?" Yagami Gale repeated with a puzzled expression.
"Yes. Although we are holding weapons, we can't wear armor without master's permission," Signo explained.
"Because we are using our own mana to create it, we just have to imagine the form …" Shammar said.
"I see. Even so, I don't really want everyone to fight …" Yagami Gale said as he looked at Signo and the other three in distress. Then, he suddenly had an idea. He asked Signo and Shammar, "Is clothing okay too? Can we wear something like a knight? "
"Yes, it's fine," Signo replied.
"Then let's look for some information and design something cool," Yagami Gale said excitedly. Then, she ran to the bookshelf to look for books that could inspire her.
But before she could take a step forward, Ito Mori took the lead to stop her.
"It's already very late. Hurry up and rest. You still have to go to school tomorrow," Sei Itō reminded her.
"Yeah, look at me. I'm too excited," Yagami Gale said as he stuck his tongue out.
"I'll go tidy up your rooms," Yagami Gale said as he turned to the Windcloud Knights.
"It's alright, master. We can do it ourselves," Shammar said hurriedly.
"It's alright," Yagami Gale said with a smile. Then, he turned around and walked out of the room to tidy up the rooms for the Windcloud Knights. Seeing this, Shyamar hurriedly informed Signo and followed Yagami Gale to help tidy up the room.
"I'm going to rest too," Feldt, who had been watching everything, said at this moment.
"Okay, go ahead. Goodnight," Sei Itō turned to Feldt and smiled.
"Goodnight," Feldt replied softly. Fett replied softly before leaving Yagami Gale's room with Elfe, heading back to his own room.
Since they weren't familiar with each other yet, Sei Itō, Signo, Vita, and Zafeira didn't reply. Instead, they stared at each other in silence.
"Get used to it. Your new master is very different from the previous ones. You'll find a new warmth." After a while, Ito Sei walked over to the bed and sat down. He took out a magic book and flipped through it as he spoke to Signo, Vita, and Zaffira, who were standing by the side.
After hearing Sei Itō's words, Signo, Vita, and Zafeira couldn't help but recall everything that had happened since they met Yagami Gale. It was the first time they didn't know what to do.
Just like what Sei Itō said, their new master was very different from the previous ones. Not only did he not treat them as tools, but he also didn't make them collect mana to replenish the pages. Instead, he treated them warmly like family and friends. This made the Windcloud Knights, who had experienced all kinds of treatment and even abuse by their previous masters, feel very uncomfortable. It felt like they were dreaming.
Just like that, half an hour passed in the blink of an eye. Then, Yagami Gale and Shammar returned to the bedroom.
"I've already tidied up your rooms and prepared the bathwater. Go and get some rest. We'll talk about it tomorrow," Yagami Gale said to Signo and the others with a smile.
Signo and the others looked at each other and replied in unison, "Yes."
Shammar then led them out of Yagami Gale's bedroom and headed to the bathroom to take a bath. After taking a bath, they returned to the bedroom that Shammar and Yagami Gale had tidied up together.
However, due to his duty as a Guardian Knight, Signo only allowed Shammar and Vita to sleep in the guest room. He and Zafeira, who had transformed into an animal, stayed in the living room. One sat on the sofa while the other lay on the ground, guarding the safety of the entire house.
"Sure enough, Onii-sama is my guardian angel." In Yagami Jikaze's bedroom, Yagami Jikaze said softly in Ito Sei's arms.
"En?" Ito Sei was a little confused and let out a low groan.
"Ever since I met Big Brother, my life has changed a lot. Not only did my legs heal, but I also went to school to study with my classmates. I also made good friends like Naia, Suzuka, Eliza, and Sophie. Now, I even have new 'family' like Signo and the others. I didn't even dare to think about this in the past! And all of this is because of you, Big Brother. So, thank you, onii-chan! " Yagami Gale raised her head and suddenly kissed Sei Itō on the cheek. Her face was flushed as she spoke softly.
Sei Itō reached out and rubbed Yagami Gale's head. He smiled and pulled Yagami Gale into his arms. He hugged her and closed his eyes to rest.
