Season 2[]
Chapter 30: Falling Petals[]
(3) In Aeroplateau, as the golden sun sets outside, Ran and Claude are conversing as Erin and her colleague Natasha Ross stand nearby. When Ran asks Claude if he only came to the city to sightsee, Natasha tells Claude that it's better that he attends the magician's conference than to laze about in Kalibloom. Erin then adds that it's too bad Claude doesn't have even half of Airi's character. She tells him that he hasn't changed at all since college, and is amazed that he's even attending the conference at all.
(4) Inside the conference building, Natasha complains about the halfs that seem to be everywhere, and suggests to Erin that they kick them all out. Erin tells her to be careful, because Saha was the one who summoned them for the trial. Natasha then notices Ran sitting nearby, and recalls his Half phobia. Erin notes that since he is sitting among halfs, his phobia may have gotten better... or not, as she notices the tears pouring down his face. The two women spend some time mocking him behind his back before Rana tells them, "Excuse me," and walks past them to Ran.
(4) During the trial, Erin addresses the seated participants, stating that 28 deaths occurred between the years N7 and N10, and then one more in the year N12, upon which Asha Rahiro was arrested since she could be tracked via her magic license. Erin then reveals that, despite the risk of Asha's involvement in the previous 28 deaths being uncovered, Asha had gotten a magic license as although she knew the location of all her targets in advance, the targets could shift; meaning she needed to use the Human Search System. This requires an AA license to locate that person via a name search. Erin then asserts that there is strong evidence indicating that all of Asha's victims had the real name of Kubera. Erin continues, addressing the question of how Asha received the search results by telling the participants that all of the AA magicians except for Saha had used the search system in the year N12, and that an investigation is continuing. Erin then reveals that Asha's killing spree did not end with the 29th victim. Because of her previous conviction, she knew she would not be let off with another fine if caught again, so she decided to use hoti visnu to cover up the next three murders, leaving those cases unsolved. Her hoti visnu record confirms this. Erin brings up the fact that Asha disappeared after the third murder for three years, then suddenly showed up in Atera in the 10th month of N15. She then suggests that Asha committed even more murders during the time of her disappearance that still have yet to be discovered.
(8) When Leez Haias asks to speak in Asha's defense, Natasha asks what she was doing there, to which Erin responds that Leez she arrived with Saha.
Chapter 31: Your Justice and Mine[]
(11) While Rana and Ran are arguing, Natasha tells Erin that it must be a lovers' quarrel.
(12) After witnessing Rana give a tearful proposal to Ran, Natasha is greatly irritated with the love scene going on when a battle is about to start. Erin tells her to let it go, since they are young. She then says they are in full preparation for this battle anyhow, pointing out the turrets, the four-layer barrier, Kasak, and all of the top magicians gathered in the city. Natasha says that even so, something feels wrong.
(7) As the massive transcendental attack blasts around the protected cities, despite an announcement telling people to find shelter in the nearest magic academy or temple, people stick around, too fascinated by the view to listen. A disgruntled Natasha claims that these people need some actual suffering, like in Atera and Kalibloom. Erin warns her to keep it down or her comments will end up in the papers again.
Chapter 32: Loser[]
(18) In Rindhallow, as Erin and Lilia Shu discuss treating people who were injured in a building collapse, Natasha gripes that they would have suffered less damage if someone stronger than Brilith Ruin had summoned Agni. Lilia overhears, and threatens to report her for blasphemy. They bicker for a bit until Erin quietly asks Natasha to let it go, because Lilia is still unaware of Saha's death.
Season 3[]
Chapter 49: The Golden Knight 2[]
(1) A being who she believes to be a Yaksha half helps her carry her luggage to Rindhallow shortly after the attack on the city. She thanks the half and offers her the business card of her brother, Kyle Florussi, which the half can use if she ever needs a sponsor. Erin did not offer her own card because she had already reached her sponsor limit for halfs.
(2)(3) She told her brother that he would be sponsoring a half, but much to his surprise, Leez Haias arrived with the business card instead, claiming that the half gave the card to her, that her name is "Riche", and most incredulously, that Claude Yui once treated her to a meal.
When Kyle threatened her, Leez allegedly pulled out her sword and thus revealed her identity. Kyle brought her over to Erin and asked her to take over as the sponsor.
Erin recognizes Leez from Asha's trial seven years ago and asks why she went by a fake name. When Leez admits to being on bad terms with Chandra, Erin and Kyle suggest that the problem may be that Leez does not worship the gods devoutly enough. Leez acknowledges this and asks for their help regardless.
Erin takes Leez to Claude, who promptly uses this opportunity to escape from his priest candidates, who were holding him at the barrier stone.
