Izayoi’s group: After Asuka lost to Pest for the fifth time she heard a very hard truth about her actual condition. Even if her gift was powerful if she didn’t have any means of protecting herself everything was in vain.
Sala and Black Rabbit were watching this until Izayoi appeared with a bucket. Then he:
“My hand slipped!”
And made everyone there got wet. Including Sala.
He did it because Pest was being too harsh to Asuka and probably for fun too. After this event all the girls were taking a bath. Asuka and pest were together because Izayoi threaten both of them (If you don’t take a bath together, then you two will have to take a bath with me). Asuka told them that she knew her flaws and even so she really wanted to help You. In the end Sala promised her that the focus on the search tomorrow was going to be finding You. With this Asuka accepted to help protecting Underwood.
You’s group: It’s confirmed that Garoro knew You’s father when he saw her pendant (anti-Demon Lord weapon). He also thought that this was going to transform her into a monster…
Izayoi’s group: Izayoi met with Gree and received a Gift from Sala (bracelet) that allowed him to understand Gree’s words and vice-versa. Asuka received two Gifts (gloves) that allowed her to protect herself. Izayoi told Jin to command them. After all he knew the characteristics of everyone’s gift and Pest had a good affinity with the Giants.
Enemies: After receiving the information that Underwood finally started moving Rin and Aura went to help the Giants in their attack. They also considered (mainly Rin) that maybe someone was already at the castle, so the Old Guu (younger brother of Draco) was in charge of the castle.
Izayoi’s group: Izayoi and Gree were having some fun, until Sala realized that someone was going to appear. But she was too late. The Demon Lord Leticia Draculair appeared in front of them.
Leticia’s past: When Leticia realized what was happening everything was too late. The “Story Teller” from the “Grimm Grimoire” told her the truth. That one vampire, a traitor wanted to obtain the thirteenth zodiac and because of it he (or she) had the power of sun. Of course everything wasn’t complete if Leticia was still alive. So, the “Story Teller” proposed her to give up everything she had built until now, after all there wasn’t any other way. Only she was alive. So, she turned into a Demon Lord. A Demon Lord who was known to everyone as someone who killed all their allies.
Izayoi’s group: Izayoi started fighting against Leticia and realized that she wasn’t the real one. Even so this “Shadow Leticia” was almost as strong as her. The Giants started a sudden attack and with this Izayoi finally went seriously to the castle together with Gree. Izayoi was in charge of defending against Leticia’s attack.
Jin’s group: Jin told the plan to Pest, Asuka and Black Rabbit. Pest could easily win against the Giants, but the main problem was the Death Eye of Balor. Jin said that the only alternative was to use Black Rabbit’s Indra Lance (just like the
Brionac) against the Death Eye. Until then Pest and Asuka were in charge of the Giants.
You’s group: They found 12 pieces of the Zodiac and 14 pieces of constellations. With this You finally deciphered what the broken star was supposed to mean.
Black Rabbit: She was caught by Rin and soon after they started fighting. Rin was strong enough to survive against Vajra and her objective was to prevent Black Rabbit of using her lance against the Death Eye of Balor. At the same time a ritual involving
The Book of Invasions was being conducted.
Asuka: Sala regrouped with her. Just before this, Asuka was saved by an arrow of Faceless. Faceless is someone who changes her weapon according to the situation. Sala commented about how that harp also had the power to control the weather.
Pest and Jin: Pest defeated the last of Giants and started talking with Aura. She (yes, I didn’t remember that the “robe guy” was in fact a she
) proposed Pest to join their forces again, but in this process she ridiculed Pest’s older companions and with so the negotiation failed. Asuka and Sala joined them. Aura used the Death Eye of Balor to free the Giants from their weakness (Pest). Then the battle restarted.
Black Rabbit: She realized that Rin was of the same level of her and Izayoi. With the help of Faceless she got free and went conduct Jin’s plan. Faceless explained (almost right) Rin’s power. Rin could control the concept of distance, just like the “Demon of Maxwell” or the “Demon of Laplace” had similar gifts capable of controlling concepts. Rin decided to retire after all they didn’t want to be “Queen Halloween’s” enemy yet.
Izayoi & Gree: Their situation was stagnated. After realizing that the “Balor’s Authority” was activated Izayoi told Gree to go help the others while he was going to do a “everything or nothing”. Gree didn’t accept this and made Izayoi got to the castle. In the way he lost his wings. Izayoi got serious and defeated Leticia’s copy in less than a minute.
You’s group: They found Leticia and she woke up. You explained the third clearing condition:
1) Region of the Beasts = Zodiacs.
2) Based on the Gift Game of Pest, the clearing condition can be an object.
3) The throne room was just like a celestial globe.
The answer was to complete the celestial globe of the room. When they did it the Gift Game restarted. Leticia tried to control to Dragon while You was trying to come up with the last answer. She was getting desperate until Garoro told that he knew her father. After recovering herself she got the last piece of the puzzle. Fourth Clearing condition:
1) The right way means that there is something wrong.
2) There are not 12, but 13 divisions of the Sun path.
Soon after they were attacked by a black griffon. His name was Graia Greif, the little brother of Draco Greif who was defeated by Kasukabe Koumei 10 years ago.
Jin’s group: Jin told Pest that maybe she could control the Death Eye of Balor because they were of similar types. Asuka accepted to help Pest to get near the Death Eye. In the way she was attacked by a black light coming from the Balor’s authority. Asuka was saved because the glove in her right arm was emitting a flame that was burning the black light. Asuka’s true ability was to strength other gifts. That’s why even a glove of low level could emit a flame strong enough to burn a divine level light.
Pest got the Balor’s eye and used against Aura. At the same time Aura used the tip of the real Brionac against her. Rin saved Aura and Pest started to lose consciousness. Black Rabbit used her gold armor to protect her from the uncontrollable broken Balor’s eye.
You’s group: Jack was out of combat since the start. You was having a hard fight against Graia. Graia explained about the true ability of the Genome Tree: It had the ability of sampling DNA and to use these samples to modify the body of the owner (like a chimera). Graia turned into a dragon showing that this was possible.
You knew that her father wasn’t going to give her a gift like that (to change her own daughter into a chimera), so she believed in it and accelerated at fastest speed she could. Her legs changed to allow this speed and Graia lost his wings and was thrown away to the sky. After this You lost consciousness.
You woke up and saw Izayoi. Then he explained the fourth clearing condition:
1) The revolution at this case had the meaning of the revolution of the sun and not a revolution between the vampires.
2) Leticia mentioned that there was a dragon that carried the world.
3) Result: Shoot the heart of the dragon, the one who is doing the revolution.
Izayoi also knew that the dragon and Leticia were the same existence. The confirmation that the game was cleared appeared. Leticia mentioned that the dragon would disappear, but if this continued Leticia would disappear too. So the choice was to make the dragon not have condition to fight anymore.
Enemies: The “Highness” was complaining how they lost a Demon Lord, the Death Eye of Balor and the old Guu was wounded. Even so he got interested in the “No Names”…
Izayoi's group: Leticia explained that after 12 minutes the curtain over Miniature garden was going to open and with that she/Dragon was going to die. From the start this was a Gift Game where Leticia was supposed to die at the end, after all she couldn’t accept herself to kill her allies again. You understood that the only option was to shoot the dragon’s heart. Izayoi decided to support You:
“More than a saint who sacrifice himself it’s 100 times better to save an understanding bad hero.
If you can’t accept this tragedy for complete, then I’m going to change it to a comedy. So prepare yourself. I’m going to defeat you (Dragon) and save you completely.”
You made a pair of boots with the ability of a Pegasus and went send Izayoi near the Dragon. Meanwhile the Dragon was going to attack Underwood for real. Asuka was determined to stop him, even if she didn’t have the power to do so. Sala also decided to sacrifice herself to save Underwood. She gave her a dragon horn (a pure high level item) to Asuka.
Asuka used it (amplified Deen's power) to make Deen stop the Dragon. And Izayoi shot the Dragon’s heart.
Leticia woke up 3 days later. Then she finally realized that her sun wasn’t only at the sky.
The female attendant of the “Thousand Eyes” came and asked for Jin if they want some kind of reward besides getting Leticia as a real servant. Jin asked for the promotion of “No Name” to 6 digits and the devolution of their lands and places when they were of 6 digits. This is impossible if you don’t have a flag, but Jin proposed that they were going to have a new flag. They were going to make an alliance.
