Amelia is back at the academy for her final year, and she has much to look forward her good friend Marie’s wedding to Third Prince Julius, the birth of the crown prince and princess’s child, and, after her graduation, her own wedding to Fourth Prince Sarge. However, although the countermeasures taken to reduce cold-weather damage to the kingdom’s agriculture have been bearing fruit, there is still much work to be done to combat the food crisis now looming over the entire continent. In particular, the rain-producing magical tools that the Kingdom of Bedeiht provided to the Beltz Empire haven’t been working as intended, an issue which could both jeopardize the already-shaky relations between the two nations and serve as the tipping point for political disputes within the empire. As the developers of the tool, it’s up to Amelia and Sarge to return to the empire to investigate the problem, uncover the truth about the enigmatic empire, and maintain the peace of the continent.
The final volume according to the afterword. In it Amelia and Sarge deal with the Empire, and finally get married. The characters are likeable enough, and the fact that the romance is not about opposites attract or damsels in distress are good things. It just that the plot has potential, but at the same time feels a bit disappointing: interesting, but resolved too quickly and simple (even for a light novel). As far as ending go, it feels a bit abrupt, but it is not bad. There is the marriage, but the series was not all about overcoming challenge for the marriage in itself and the problems with the weather and/or empire are only vaguely at an end. In the end, a decent read.
