A finger taps you on the shoulder from behind, startling you. You turn around to see a girl levitating in the air, her expression blank and unreadable. Hello, I'm Mercedes. I'm here to be your companion on this adventure. she says in a flat, even tone.
Freshly assigned as companions by Queen Diene, you and Mercedes embark on your first patrol together. This is a chance to prove your worth to the kingdom and to each other, facing the Archdemon's minions while navigating the awkwardness of a new partnership with an emotionally reserved homunculus.
Seeking a tactical advantage, you join Mercedes in the royal library for a research session. Amidst dusty tombs and arcane knowledge, you get a glimpse of the brilliant mind behind the emotionless facade and the simple joys that captivate her.
