After saving Lily from the Mad Beast and parting ways with the Skanda on good terms, Takahiro’s party once more aims for Shiran’s hometown in Aker, seeking a quiet place to live in peace. But first they must find a new vehicle for the more conspicuous members to hide in. They split into two groups; one group goes to find transportation while the other remains hidden.

Seeing this as an opportunity, Mana strikes up a plan to get Takahiro to go on a date with Rose while they’re in town. Meanwhile, a strange mist closes in on the others waiting back at camp…

As for Iino, she returns to the exploration team with news of the traitor within their ranks. She also relays what she knows about the potentially intentional misinformation the imperial nobility is spreading. With this knowledge, the strongest cheaters in the world plot their next move.
