Naofumi stops at Siltvelt on his journey to Q'ten Lo. The people there worship him as a king.

Naofumi and Raph-chan stay in the castle while the rest of the party tours the town.

The Schiltwelt Castle is shaken by a poisoned breakfast room disturbance. Atra, who is incensed by the ugly war of words between the various factions, tries to blackmail the heavy hitters and speak highly of Shobun's greatness. Shobun then discovers the real culprit through a “secret spy.”

Fohl battles the cunning and sneaky Jaralis while Atla challenges the veteran warrior Lyceras.

When Fohl is about to be defeated, Naofumi asks him if he has the resolve to become stronger.

Naofumi returns, temporarily, to Lurolona Village, and decides who he’s going to take with him.

In Q’ten Lo, the party finds that it’s forbidden to kill an animal, and that the people are heavily taxed.
