Holy Paladin Cynthia

Though the world is a safer place following the Demon King’s defeat, there is still no end in sight to the havoc caused by various lesser fiends. To subdue them, the Order of the Knights is formed at the royal capital.

This is the tale of one such paladin–a young heroine named Cynthia.

As soon as she is old enough, she signs up for the knight trials with gusto...

The stranger informs her that she has summoned Cynthia there to warn her of recent enemy gatherings, and asks for her help. Apparently, Cynthia's altruism is just what the world needs!

When Cynthia agrees to investigate the matter, the Mana Spirit even offers to grant her special power...
