ORDER SOL STORY?! (Positive)

YES! Well, it's kind of a frame story of a flashback scene where modern day Sol and Ky reminisce about the Holy Order, but HOS IS STILL IN IT YIPPEE

I don't think I've said on here yet, but there are 3 short stories total in the new Xrd Series Official Artworks book (or "Xrd Material Collection" if you read the Japanese title). There's the one for Sol and Ky, then one that I think covers Chipp and Answer's first meeting (from Answer's perspective), and then something with Elphelt and Jam. The El and Jam story is an enigma to me. I got news of there being an Answer story first (HYPE) and then the Order Sol story (SUPER HYPE!!) and then by the time I heard there was one with Elphelt it was totally eclipsed by new Order Sol content in 2024 rofl So I apologize for not having more to offer with that one.

Each one has an illustration too. I don't have a picture of the table of contents or copyright info yet, but I'm about 90% certain this is a Daisuke original. Painfully teasing you with a closeup HOS crop

Daisuke's the only one that ever gives him lips and a slightly upturned nose so that's mostly what I'm basing this being drawn by him on lol

I have no idea who wrote the stories in this yet either. The Overture Material Collection stories were contracted out by two authors that haven't done anything for GG since. It might be the same for the Xrd SOA too
