After a very bland breakfast, Zagan realizes he has no idea what people normally eat. Nephy offers to make him a homecooked meal, and the two set off to buy ingredients from a nearby town. However, financial troubles and highwaymen prevent smooth travel.

Zagan has arrived to face Barbatos and save Nephy. He brings the full power of an Archdemon to the clash. However, interacting with Barbatos' spell circles has an unexpected effect.

Chastille faces repercussions for her refusal to hunt down Zagan. Yet another challenger assaults Zagan's castle, but this one is doomed to a different kind of punishment than the others.

Zagan, Nephy, and For investigate Marchosias' old estate and discover a shocking connection. A veteran Sacred Sword wielder arrives, and Chastille quickly finds herself disagreeing with him, an incredibly dangerous position to take without her sword.

Heavily wounded, Raphael warns Chastille of treacherous threats lurking within the Church. As For learns more about the man she has carried such hatred for, she must decide if revenge is truly something she wants anymore.
