## Summary

Princess Ruri enjoys the graphics in *Forest Of Savior* as Akane and TSUBAKI struggle to defeat a monster. Akane complains that Princess Ruri should not have come with them if she wasn't going to help them kill the monster. However, she promises to help them when they are about to die since the monster is easily defeated. TSUBAKI finds her teasing ridiculous since the monster has four bars of HP. Princess Ruri shares that she finds it attractive how the damage they inflict is inferior to the monster's recovery ability. Withstanding the monster's damage due to Paladin's healing ability, Akane and TSUBAKI decide to hit the attack button to defeat it continuously.

The two progress in defeating the monster, but it eventually heals itself. Princess Ruri offers to give them a clue on how to defeat it, but they refuse. TSUBAKI has an idea, so she and Akane try to attack again. However, they fail to defeat the monster, and the monster withdraws from the battle as time has already run out.

Akane and TSUBAKI discuss their strategies after the battle while Princess Ruri looks on with endearment, delighted to see them interact. Akane later excuses herself because she needs to leave, leaving TSUBAKI with Princess Ruri. In real life, Tsubaki ponders Akane's personality. She concludes that she is kind and easy to talk to.

Akane calls Yamada to inquire about the monster she and TSUBAKI attempted to defeat. Yamada is clueless about the monster since he hasn't defeated it yet, reasoning that monsters of that rank aren't good opponents. So, Akane asks him for strategies.

Meanwhile, Princess Ruri helps TSUBAKI repair her armor. Sitting side by side under a tree, she asks her if she likes the guild. TSUBAKI is relieved that everyone is friendly and apologizes for being uninterested in the game. Princess Ruri asks if she wants to talk it out. TSUBAKI imagines Yamada and cryptically tells her she lacks the courage and bravery to act independently. Unsure about what she is talking about, Princess Ruri advises her to act first, or the motivation and courage will not come.

Akane apologizes to Yamada for making him stay up late and asks if he is tired. Yamada admits that he is and asks Akane if there is anything else she wants to talk about before he goes. Akane nervously tells him she called because she wanted to hear his voice and quickly ends the call. She later calls Momo, telling her that she has something to say.

Ruri: Hey everyoneー♡ This is Ruri~♡
I'm in charge of the postcard this time ♡ I'm going to introduce the production class in FOS ♡ But it's not really related to the main story ♡
AN: A production class is an elective class that allows students to acquire production skills such as sewing, blacksmithing, and alchemy.
Ruri: Ruri is for sewing ♡ Sewing is making and fixing armor, and you can choose only one class per character ♡ By the way, Yamada's production class is alchemy, and he always makes potions for Ruri.
There are many other production classes, but since they can help each other, Ruri thinks it's more convenient not to duplicate classes with good friends.
Akane: I am a blacksmith! I'll be making and fixing weapons.
Ruri: Akanechi is a budding blacksmith, so we can expect great things from her in the future!

See you next time~!”*
