Just after rescuing Celia from her wedding, Rio witnesses six pillars of light. He heads towards them at Aishia's behest and finds three people he never imagined meeting in his world... and they need his help!

Rio takes Celia and Miharu to Amande to buy some daily necessities. At first, Miharu is bewildered by the strangeness of being in another world, but soon she's enjoying the trip. Meanwhile, in the Beltrum Kingdom, a Hero appears before Princess Flora.

Rio returns to the Village of the Spirits with a request. While he's there, Latifa has a quiet moment with him. Elsewhere, Liselotte goes to Sakata with an invitation to a royal party. Meanwhile, Miharu and the others are attacked by monsters!

Rio rejoins Celia and Aishia in Amande. They go out to dine in a private room at a restaurant. Then Alphonse bursts in with his friends and demands they get out. Not wanting trouble, Rio and the others move to leave, but Alphonse blocks their way!

As the knights investigate the forest, they are attacked and subdued in a flash. When Alphonse wakes, he witnesses a horrible sight. Meanwhile, Flora's thoughts of Haruto overlap with memories of Rio. Her swirling emotions keep her awake.

Amande is attacked by monsters, plunging the townspeople into chaos and fear. Liselotte deploys her attendants to help limit the damage, and Rio goes to the east gate to help. Meanwhile, Lucius and the revenants swiftly approach their target.

Revenants attack the room where Sakata, Flora, and the others have taken shelter. Sakata leaps into action and Flora manages to flee into the hallway, but there are other dangers lying in wait. Rio notices something wrong and pursues it alone.

In the Village of Spirits, Miharu wakes from an unsettling dream. Meanwhile, Rio catches up to Flora's kidnapper, Lucius. Rio calmly moves to bring Lucius down. His attitude irritates Lucius, who tries to provoke him into revealing his true identity.

Flora manages to speak to Rio, but it doesn't go the way she expects. Liselotte and the others tell Rio they'd like to show their gratitude, so he makes a request. Then, Rio travels back to the village to tell Miharu and the others what he's learned.
