## Story

### The Order of the Swan Knights

Gylphos glances at Kouki and returns his gaze to Lucullus, who looks disinterested.
He correctly speculate the Deputy Commander's assumptions about the recent goblin incident. Gylphos then responds to Lucullus' new mission by placing his fist on his chest.

Only Gylphos isn't working when the other esquires are working.

Hyllus seemed to have arbitrarily divided the esquires into two groups. Since Gylphos and the other esquires are from the nobility, he is placed in a carriage with the sibyl and her guards. When Hyllus approached the sibyl's carriage. Gylphos has a lyre by his side. He was playing a song to the sibyl and her escorts.

Gylphos and the noble-born esquires were to stand guard indoors, near the sibyl, while Kouki and Neckes and the common-born esquires were to stand guard outdoors.

Gylphos comes down from the second floor of the branch to the main gate. Gylphos draws his sword and readies it. The blade, imbued with magical energy, glows white. Gylphos moves quickly towards Decross. Decross manages to parry Gylphos' attack, but the slash sends him backwards. Gylphos flies in all directions and swings his Frostblade sword at Decross. Gylphos slashed Decross 16 times in just a few moments. Gylphos' sword thrusts into the dark knight's chest. Gylphos makes a strange face as Decross disappear after his defeat. The sibyl's group were watching the battle between Gylphos and Decross from the second floor. Gylphos gracefully bows to the sibyl's group. Gylphos then returns to the branch after he told Hoplon that he was heading back to rest.

Gylphos and the knights are placed at the sibyl's side, with the esquires outside. Gylphos is an esquire, but he has special treatment and is on the side of the priestesses. After the way they fought last night, no one questions it any more. It was a natural arrangement.

Gylphos and Lucrezia rush to the sibyl as she collapse, Gylphos supports the priestess before she hits the ground a hair's breadth away. Hyllus commands Gylphos. Gylphos takes the sibyl in his arms and carried her to the carriage.

Gylphos sits in the middle of the knights. Gylphos and the captain suspect foul play in Snobihe Kingdom. Gylphos was behaving in his usual manner. But it wasn't as if he hadn't noticed. Gylphos notices Hyllus' gaze and looks at him. Gylphos and Therion drew their swords and crossed swords. Gylphos was unable to catch Therion's sword and was blown away. Gylphos rises and comes forward. He does not seem to have lost his will to fight yet. However, her expression shows a little impatience.

Rena and the fallen Gylphos are the only ones who are safe from Diadona's Evil Eyes of Gemification. Kouki decides to wake up Gylphos.

Gylphos was recently knighted. Kouki looks at the entrance and sees Gylphos and Noppos standing there. Gylphos says unpleasantly.
He is probably not happy that a knight is sent to call on esquire, who is a lower-ranked man. Kouki apologises and lines up behind Gylphos. Sana tackled Gylphos away and then hugs Kouki straight away. Gylphos is knocked out in the middle of all this and looks up at the ceiling in a corner of the hall, unconscious.

### The Winds of the Prairie

Kouki and the others were on their way back inside the building, having turned away the women who had come to watch Gylphos practice in the morning.

## Abilities

As a demigod, his power was so great that he could not be attached to any knight. Not only is he strong, but he is also musically gifted.

Gylphos moves so fast that Decross the Dark Knight can do nothing. In contrast, Gylphos seems to have more time on his side. He could probably move faster, but he is playing with him.

* **Frostblade: Blade of Freezing Ice** (氷結の刃フロストブレード, *Hyōketsu no haFurosutoburēdo*?). A cold wind blows around. It seems to be the effect of Gylphos' ice sword.
* Sylph.
* **Seven Rows of Wind Blades Slash** (七列風刃斬, *Nana retsu-fū ha ki*?).

### Equipment

He has a lyre to ward off fiends.

He wields a sword. It seems to have been sent to Gylphos by his father, Alphos.
