That was a nice little shot of sugar. This was such a lovely manga.
Edit: I want to see a manga about Konoha Suetsugi's relationship. Konoha really grew on me as the manga progressed. I really enjoyed her character. I really want to see Mayura Momouchi learn Mashiro's secret as well lol.
The translation team probably got confused with the term. He is most likely a Man-at-Arms. Basically, a professional soldier and the core of any medieval army. They were given much better gear and had to march whenever the lord asked.
I love how this manga doesn't have them backslide after progress. They just keep getting closer and it feels so natural given their characters. I love that.
