STORY
Though the world is a safer place following the Demon King's defeat,
there is still no end in sight to the havoc caused by various lesser fiends.
To subdue them, the Order of the Knights is formed at the royal capital.
This is the tale of one such paladin–a young heroine named Cynthia.
Born in the capital, Cynthia grew up admiring her late father, a great knight and swordsman who defended queen and country. Now she, too, hopes to follow in his steps as a protector of the people!
As soon as she is old enough, she enters the knight trials with gusto...
But for her ultimate trial, she must venture deep into the forest, then bring back a broken branch from the Sacred Tree as proof. Having often played there as a young child with her father, Cynthia thinks nothing of the task expected of her, until...
She discovers a strange cave there that she doesn't remember at all! What's more, a girl appears before her, claiming to be a Mana Spirit. The stranger informs her that she has summoned Cynthia there to warn her of recent enemy gatherings and ask for her help. Apparently, Cynthia's altruism is just what the world needs!
When Cynthia agrees to investigate the matter, the Mana Spirit even offers to grant her special power...
CHARACTERS
Cynthia
Voice: Milk Amakawa
An altruistic but airheaded girl who is at once earnest, gentle- natured, and considerate of others. However, she also screws up constantly, often landing herself in compromising situations. She is also a bit naive and thus easily hoodwinked by certain types... Thankfully, she excels at physical feats, and her magic isn't too shabby in battle either. Endlessly cheerful and positive, her strong resolve gets her through every time.
Yuri
Voice: Kanoko
A girl wizard with a prickly exterior and a strong sense of justice. Originally Cynthia's superior in their kingdom's Order of the Knights, she is brave and wise, even commanding the front lines on occasion. Having grown up in an orphanage after her family was killed by monsters, she has a hard time opening up to others and often says things that drive people away. Because of this, she's a bit of a loner. Not because of this, she's also terrible at sports...
Lalanoa
Voice: Chiroru Ooyama
A bright, energetic dolt of a girl who is also weirdly demanding at times—some might say a tyrant. She eats well, talks well, sleeps well, and is not afraid to do what she wants. She talks like an old man and calls herself a fortune teller, but it is unclear who she really is... Also seems to know Brave from somewhere.
Lenette
Voice: Undisclosed
The meek and soft-spoken queen of Cynthia's kingdom. Since she has only been on the throne for a short time, she has trouble voicing her opinions. Originally, she had a cheery disposition by nature, but since her coronation, she has adopted a more... curt attitude. That said, she became the queen by default after her parents passed, so she performs her sovereign duties under the advice of her chancellor, Conrad. She also has a fellow queen friend in a faraway land...
Ceras
Voice: Kurumi Miru
Your typical prim-and-proper domestic maid. She hates her weak constitution and strong allergies. No matter what she does, she always seems to wind up in a bind, but to her credit, never loses hope.
Hotaru
Voice: Ao Inukai
A bright and energetic Demon lass from Kikyo. Being a Demon, she loves a good drink and is rather rough around the edges, but is loved all the more for that and more by her Kikyo “Yokai” brethren... Always up for a good laugh, she may seem frivolous, but she is actually more concerned about the state of her country than anyone–and is making every effort to improve it.
Ilina
Voice: Maria Ayana
An easily distracted, romance-crazy she-elf. Unable to follow the strict rules of her conservative home village, she sets out to explore herself. She loves fun above all else, so she travels the world in search of adventure, heading from east to west... A healer by profession.
