Amid the upheaval after the royal line of Lugunica was broken, the Knights of the Royal Guard are sent to protect an envoy to Volakia, a violent empire often in conflict with the kingdom. Julius, Ferris, and Reinhard are part of this mission, but what will they find there...?
An entertaining collection of short stories of the most popular Knights in the Re: ZERO universe. It was good to see other empires as well. Not much to say really, I like this spin-off because of the depth given to many "secondary" characters.
3/5
One note though, I was kind of spoiled by the author's end remarks because this was out in Japan along with the main series' volume 22. However, the English version is at volume 14 at the time of this review, so yeah lol. Not big of a deal though.
Of all the EX volumes, this one's probably the best in worldbuilding and action, we get to know more about Vollachia and its leading figures, alongside Ferris, Reinhard and Julius.
Not terrible, but the stories are just not that interesting. I guess it was important to build up the background of certain secondary characters that will show up in the main series.
