In the courtyard of the Weisbach Palace, the girls all burst into laughter when Eleanor colorfully narrated the tale of the "Square Sword Saint."
"The Squad Leader is so mean!"
"Exactly, it's already not nice to hit someone, but why speak in a way that cuts so deep?"
"Do you think the Squad Leader was being sarcastic when he called him the 'Square Sword Saint'?"
"It's not sarcasm. Would he be so infuriated if it were?"
When Medea found Lord Aske and said as much, he responded in bewilderment,
"Sarcasm? Not at all. The title 'Square Sword Saint' is his nickname... Oh, that will be years from now."
Medea: ...
"So, you mean to say this guy will actually become a Sword Saint?" she asked doubtfully.
"Yes," Aske said, "The guy truly is a swordsmanship genius, and his Square Swordsmanship is very strong, you know? If any of you used a two-handed sword, I would have already taught you."
