In a private chamber, Anzelotte communicates Shihou’s progress with her superior whom she addresses as her god, Gazer. Meanwhile the Night Wizards make short work of the golems in Magallanica now that they know how to defeat the monsters. The team enters an elaborate temple where Shihou senses the jewel to be located.

Renji takes point and seemingly activates any and every trap that has been laid out. After progressing for a while, they decide to take a break while Akari keeps watch. Shihou brings a cup of tea to Akari and formally introduces herself to the stoic gunner. Renji as always badmouths Anzelotte when her name comes up in conversation, and he is struck by another trap while reaching for an onigiri that fell on the floor.

Usui, the balding student with a bad comb-over, begins the episode by narrating his life up until now along with a glimpse of his scrapbook.
