To be honest, Fujimaru Tachibana's situation came as quite a surprise.
After all, those who had witnessed how the girl gained a new life and became Chaldea's Master had actually held great expectations for her.
Even though the girl repeatedly said she wanted to take it easy and didn't want to work hard, people patiently waited, believing that "as long as the girl found her resolve, she could become a true savior."

It was supposed to be that way.
Yes, where could there be so many lofty reasons? The meaning of a person's existence was to live
