Chapter 65
Satou and his group were given rooms in Muno Castle to stay and rest before Satou is made a knight. While there, Satou kept himself busy by inquiring about the serfs that escaped to the fort, who now consider him their master, arresting criminal soldiers, gifted gold to the barony under the name of the "Silver-Masked Hero," wrote a letter to Zena telling her about the battle that took place, arranges for Lulu to take some cooking lessons, sponsored the creation of Victorian-era outfits for the maids to wear (and also Arisa), oversaw Liza's training in defeating some bandits (with one with a sense of chivalry joining the army), and created a Gabo Fruit by having people from the slums live in lodging barracks to grow them.

He also attended a tea party with Lady Soruna, Pochi, and Tama, and Baron Muno where he listened to his stories, and while he didn't get any new magic scrolls, Muno told him about a cousin Viscount that runs the only scroll workshop in the kingdom, and even writes him an introductory letter. He would also borrow an unused workshop to make new things such as a new carriage and a hang glider, and then would later get rid of a monster terrorizing a weaselfolk fisherman and be rewarded with a boat as promised by him. He receives a letter learing that the crystals in the mountain were in fact mineable, and finally, he went to the river to to get rid of some monsters that were damming it, thereby restoring the water flow for farmland cultivation. In addition, Nina taught him about peerages, and he asks her why she serves someone of higher rank than her, to which she answers that it is because he is the lord of a territory, which puts him at an equal level as an earl.

When Nina asks what his family name will be, even though his peerage will only last one generation, Arisa joins him in picking a name. She immediately starts with her previous life's name "Tachibana," but it is turned down due to being used by another family. Satou considers his own name "Suzuki," but decides to ask the others for ideas since he isn't too good with names himself. Sadly, Pochi and Tama don't understand the concept and Soruna suggests "Donana" if he marries Karina and adopts the name, but he considers it too intimidating and declines. He goes to the kitchen and meets Lulu, where he decides to help cook a little. Lulu suggests "Kubooku," which Satou assumes is the family name Arisa had when she was a princess, and declines as he fears he will invoke other country's ire if he does. She then suggests "Watari," which was her great-grandfather's, and he tells her he will consider it, which delights her.

Satou then visits Mia and she suggests "Bolenan," which is her clan's name, but he refuses saying it will upset the elven elders. He gives her some crepes to cheer her up as Nana and Liza meet with him, having acquired the feathers needed for him to make a quilt, and they suggest "Nagasaki" and "Kishresgarza," respectively, but he turns both of them down. Sir Zotol, the bandit that defected, then appears and offers Satou to train with him and his men. As it turns out Zotol and a group of his followers abandoned the Demon Consul and became a band of mercenaries, yet ended up getting branded as thieves by corrupt beauracrats, but now, he and his men have been hired to serve as soliders for the barony. Satou turns him down and he accepts, but also asks he get Hauto to come to the training grounds. Satou meets with Hauto but he has no suggestions, as he reveals he is no longer classified as a "hero" because his sword turned out to be cursed rather than holy, yet he still has a close relationship with Soruna.

He is then found by Karina, who wants Satou to train with her, and from suggestion from Hauto, he asks Karina for her input. Karina suggests "Pendragon," which was a hero's name from a story she read about a hero who rode a dragon. He gives some thought about it, especially since it was King Arthur's father's name.

Chapter 66
Satou makes his choice and after two days, the day comes when he is bestowed the title of "knight." After he acquires it, the other girls come to participate in the rest of the ceremony, where Satou is bestowed his family name by Yuyurina, and he picks "Pendragon," thereby dubbing him "Satou Pendragon." Everyone celebrates (with Karina, Arisa, and Lulu admiring the idea that if they marry him, they will bear the "Pendragon" name too), and Nina shakes hands with him as she asks for his continued support, and that he has until the day he departs to pick his family's coat of arms.

Following this, the baron and his butler try to teach him about high society while Yuyurina taught him about noble houses and coat of arms. He eventually makes one (being a pen with a dragon wrapped around it), and thinks about the "Chaos Jar" the demon wanted to revive the "Golden King" with, as he had placed it in his inventory. He later meets a priestess named Sara, who serves Tenion, and he introduces himself to her. He learns that she was sent to by the church to aid in the restoration of the territory after the demon's destruction, having brought with her a rather large amount of manpower. Nina admits she was surprised her grandfather, the duke, would allow her to venture out of their territory, though Sara says she feels she is no longer part of that family after she left. She also asks how she got the church to let her go, and she says she got authorization from "mother superior," who Satou believes is the holy person he had heard of.

The group head for the meeting room where Nina recounts the demon extermination for Sara's group, though one of them refuses to believe Satou slew the demon, which earns Nina's anger.

Chapter 67
One of Sara's subordinates tries to apologize to Nina for the solider, Keon's, rude outburst, but Satou speaks up and says that he was not wrong to express doubt, but explains he and his comrades helped him take down the demon along with an artifact, which was a demon-sealing bell gifted to him by the chief of the forest giants. The topic then shifts to the fight between the demon and the masked hero, and one of the soldiers expresses disbelief that a low-grade demon couldn't possibly take over a sub-species of dragon like a Hydra, and the other asks what the demon's intent was. As per Satou's cover-up, he wrote a letter saying the demon was trying to ressurect the Demon Lord, which causes the two to panic. Sara calms them down reminding them that the threat had already passed, and Muno explains that it intended to collect negative energy of the people it oppressed into the Chaos Jar, and as far as the others know, it was destroyed.

When the discussion finally ended, Nina took her leave to take care of something at the office, and the civil officer accompanying Sara goes with her, and Satou found himself giving Sara a tour while the knights took their leave to do other duties. Sara first asks Satou to take her to the Tenion Temple before taking her to the orphanage, but Satou tells her he can't take her to the latter, as it had been closed down two years ago by the demon who was impersonating the Consul. Sara nervously asks about the children, but Satou reassures her that they are being cared for in the castle. When he offers to show her to the castle instead, Sara changes her plans to visit them first. As they make their way, Satou comments that Sara gives off the impression that her time is limited and is being very impatient.

On the way, the pair come across Mia playing music, where Satou and Sara greet her, though Mia seems jealous of Sara. She explains she was requested to play for the soliders as they train, and speaking of, Liza is doing some combat training with Nana and Karina, with their match being observed by many onlookers who react with amazement with the magical abilities, weapons, and armor they use. Unfortunately, Karina chose not to work with Nana, which caused her to accidently get hit by Nana's attack. Still, she gets back up and continue fighting Liza, though Liza still had the advantage due to Nana and Karina's poor coordination. Eventually, Nana couldn't battle anymore, so it became a one-on-one between Karina and Liza. Satou also notices Liza use a powerful magical attack, but since it was incomplete due to her not having enough skill points for it, Satou agrees to train her to perfect it.

The combat training came to an end and Zoltol reviewed the match as Sara asked if Karina was Muno's daughter, which Satou confirms, with a female soldier named Ina even comparing her to Sara's sister, which Satou seems to feel is annoying Sara herself despite hiding it very well. Pochi and Tama then appear and inform Satou that they finished cleaning and were exploring the attic afterwards, which he praises them for. He does notice that they grabbed some rats, and they spook Sara, which causes her to cling onto Satou in surprise and also cause Ina to draw her sword under the assumption he was being rude to her. When Satou tries to turn around to explain himself, Sara ends up twirling with him, which causes the Ina to swing her sword demanding he get off her.

Chapter 68
Satou tries to dodge but accidently bumps his head against Sara's breasts, but he quickly moves away and apologizes, which she forgives. Ina tries to defend Sera from the three but she manages to calm her down as Satou tells the confused children that they can't just show a rat to someone, which causes them to apologize to Sara, who she also forgives. Several other children come out to tell Satou that they finished cleaning and he awards them with sweet pastries, and Sara sees that the children are quite happy with where they are right now. The two then make their way to the children's barracks just as dinner is prepared by Lulu (with Ina mentioning her "homly" appearance and being scolded for it), and Lulu is introduced to Sara as they meet with some other people.

Satou and Sara meet an old woman who reveals that all the injured have already been healed by Satou's magic potions and a little help from Mia herself. Sara is delighted that everyone she initially wanted to heal no longer require attention, and Arisa arrives (with the soldiers commenting on her purple hair and also getting scolded by Sara) presenting onigiri to Satou. Both of them eat and Arisa even tells Pochi and Tama that she can make more for them to try, and Satou decides to make a nice dish for Arisa. Eventually, Satou and Sara go to the Tenion Temple, and then toured around the Gabo fields in the slums and tenement construction sites before heading for the dining room for dinner.

At the dinner table, everyone toasts for the peace they have been given, and all though they start out with soup as Satou intended, everyone finds it delicious to the point they asked for seconds until there was no more left. the appetizers, the sasakama and cheese with fried potatoes and potato chips on the side, followed by the salad, which had mayonaise, tartar sauce, and a sweet orange sauce. It even had radishes in it, and while the people of the duchy hate radishes, they didn't even notice thanks to the sauces, but Satou decides not to put anymore in future meals. For seafood, they ate shrimp tempura, and the main course was fried cutlets from long-haired cows, which everyone else enjoyed despite it being rather spicy. The last dish, which was the dessert, arrives, which is a stack of pancakes, which everyone loves.

With that, the dinner came to an end with everyone satisfied, and afterwards, Muno and Soruna invited the men and woman to beer and tea respectively. However, after an hour, everyone became very rowdy as they asked Satou to serve each other's families, but Satou was able to escape and take refuge somewhere else.
