After defeating Sylvia at the Crimson Demon Village, Kazuma and his party look forward to receiving a reward that could mean freedom from the grind of having to fulfill quests. Kazuma himself, however, seems to be having nightmares and bouts of paranoia.

Kazuma has crashed Darkness's wedding to Aldarp and pays him the two billion eris he says he's owed. Aqua and Kazuma try to make off with Darkness but Aldarp won't relinquish her so easily and orders his guards to stop their escape.
