My head feels light as if it's resting on something soft.
"Errr…"
"Momoko!"
A lady with blond hair wearing a green dress ran over to my side.
"Is she up?"
Another blond-haired individual, but this one wearing armor, ran to her side, bending down.
"… What's… going on…?"
My eyes adjust to the area around me. A room with white flooring and a matching ceiling surrounded me. A table sat in front of me with a bouquet.
I look down, and I lie in a bed with silk-white covers. Black and white runic circles surround me.
"… We rushed over as soon as we heard the news…."
I looked up and recognized Higashi's voice.
My eyes start to water as I clench the bed's sheets.
"I… I… lost…"
Higashi runs over to me and puts a hand on my shoulder.
"No, no… You're still a rited knight. You earned that when you completed all the trials before the tournament."
Aiyoma stood and wiped a tear from my cheek.
