Ubaneshi

   As they went further into the city, Mina was surprised to see that most of the people were already settled down.

   "It's not even getting dark yet" she said In awe.

   "Well she isn't called a queen for nothing" she added

   "It was Yamato" a distant voice said

   "It was Yamato that did it" the voice said again

   They turned to see Inumaki walking towards them. He explained everything to them. The the people had settled, the order of the fortress was established, and the new appointed leader.

   While everyone was in battle, Yamato brought the people into the fortress. He singlehandedly cleared and refurnished enough buildings to accommodate everyone. By the time we came back, he was already registering people in as citizens. He knew more about leadership than any of the others so they left the role to him. Also the queen retired.

   "I would like to meet this queen of yours" Susan said

   "I would also like to meet Yamato" she added.

   So they took her to the queen's residence.

   "I greet your majesty" Susan said, humbly bowing and the queen burst into laughter saying "No need for all that, I'm not even a real queen"

   "Just call me Sora"

   "Oh, hi Sora" Susan said smiling

   "I'm Susan, Susan Schneider"

   "I'm actually curious" she said

   "How did you become queen in a world like this"

   "You seem to be mistaking something, miss Schneider" Sora said

   "I am not queen because of any grand achievement, I am not queen because of any favours. I am only queen because of what they could take from me"

   "You said it yourself, how could someone become queen in a world like this. It is not possible, unless you have something as valuable as my power."

   "I was blessed with the ability to create treasures. Anything I made consisted of gold and precious gems so the order took me for the riches I could bring them and placed me in this storage room of a city. They gathered treasure from all over the world but the ones I made always outclassed them. They gave me a comfortable life that I couldn't enjoy. I bore children but I had no heart to love them. They called me queen but I ruled over no one"

   "I am not proud to be called queen. All I feel is shame when someone bows to me"

   "I want to simply be known as Sora"

   "Ubaneshi Sora"

   "There's one more thing I need to ask" Susan said

   "Are you ready for war With the order?"

   Sora didn't waste in answering "no"

   "All the capable people I known can be counted by hand" she said

   "We do not stand a chance with what we have" 

   "But we can change that" a male voice said from outside the room 

   Everyone turned to see Yamato walking into the room. He looked like he had been working nonstop and was completely out of energy. 

   "We have Yen" he said

   "We have Rosewell"

   "We have Fubuki"

   "We have Kojiro"

   "We have Inumaki"

   "We have me"

   "We have Mina and her two new friends"

   "We have an entire city of people"

   "And most importantly...."

   "We have you"

   "If we can properly utilize what we have, I see victory in our favor" he said

   "Besides, we are not the only ones fighting against the order" he added

   "What do you mean by that?" Susan replied

   "Is there anyone else fighting against the order?"

   "Of course there is" Yamato answered 

   "I like to call him the pathfinder"

   "He singlehandedly took down a large troop of the order's army, And he was also the one that summoned Yen"

   "The order keeps sending troops to find him but none of them ever returns"

   "Hopefully, he will one day find his was us"

   Yamato completed his speech by saying "we will make use of everything we have in order to ensure victory, and we will live a life of freedom"

   As Yamato was falling asleep in his mothers embrace, Susan asked him a question.

   "What do you think about adding beasts to your army"
