Tachibana Kanokazu

Kate is a magic knight and brilliant strategist serving in a monster‑slaying knight squad. Young, capable, and respected as the vice‑commander, she keeps chaotic squad leader Ned’s combat instincts in check and guides the unit expertly. One fateful night at a celebration, sputtering champagne and drunken bravado lead Ned — impulsive, charming, and terrifying in battle — to blurt out an outrageous proposal to Kate: “Let’s get married — right here!” Taken aback (and accidentally hit with a mug), Kate refuses… but Ned doesn’t back down. As he pushes his affection forward and Kate tries to keep her head focused on duty, sparks — and awkward romantic tension — begin between them. Can a seasoned knight and her wild commander make sense of this odd proposal?Original Web Novel
