Next Episode of From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman is
unknown.
Beryl Gardinant, a self-proclaimed "humble old man," is a sword instructor at his dojo in a rural, backwater village. In his younger years, he dreamed of glory as a master swordsman, but those days are long behind him. Out of the blue, he receives a visit from a famous former pupil who brings him world-shattering news - he's been appointed as a special instructor for the knights of the Liberion Order! With his life now turned upside down, Beryl travels to the capital and reunites with some of his former students: elite knights, an ace wizard, and even an adventurer who's attained the highest guild rank possible. But why do they all want his tutelage?! As far as he's concerned, they clearly don't need him anymore. Can Beryl live up to his new position? And will he ever get a moment's peace away from his adoring students?!
Back in the capital, Beryl struggles to shake his guilt over Vesper's grave injuries, while Surena tries to cheer him up. The day of Princess Salacia's wedding draws near, and Beryl joins the escort detail. After a short reunion with Shueste and with the threat of an attack by the Verdapis Mercenary Company looming, they reach Dilmahakha, the holy city of Sphenedyardvania. But who is watching him?
Allucia and Gatoga visit Beryl at his lodgings in Dilmahakha, and Gatoga shows Beryl around the city. Once they're alone, Gatoga tells him what became of Rose. Back in Baltrain, Curuni and Ficelle put Mewi through special training, while Lucy and Ibroy meet in secret. The new year arrives, bringing Princess Salacia's wedding - and screams of terror ring out through the cathedral.
The Verdapis Mercenary Company bursts into the cathedral. Beryl moves to stop them, but Ibroy yells, "They're on our side!" Forced into an uneasy alliance, Beryl and the others escort the prince and princess safely to the palace. Along the way, Beryl's rage clashes with Hanoy's pride as a mercenary. But an even greater crisis engulfs the Holy City - caused by none other than Pope Morris himself.
The masked White Maiden is revealed to be none other than Beryl's former student, Rose. Beryl and the White Maiden meet up with Allucia and Surena, who have successfully taken down the Chimera, and they head to back up the Verdapis Mercenary Company. There, they find Hanoy on the brink of defeat - and Pope Morris standing calmly before him. The final battle is about to begin.
