| The two find a town and Jinguuji forces Hinata to wear a paper bag over her head so she doesn't charm anyone. At a weapon shop, Hinata buys magic hair decorations that divert attention away from the wearer. They get attacked by some of the escaped bandits seeking revenge, but a swordsman steps in and defeats them. He introduces himself as Schwartz von Liechtenstein Lohengramm, someone from Earth who was summoned to be a hero. He recognizes Jinguuji as a fellow Earthling due to his clothes, but thinks Hinata is a native. Unaffected by the hair decorations, a smitten Schwartz challenges Jinguuji to a duel for her hand and draws his sword Gram, slicing a building in half. Before the fight can escalate, the policewoman Lucius arrests Schwartz for property damage and orders the other two to come as witnesses. At the police station, Schwartz protests that he is a hero and shows a tattoo the Goddess of Night put on his hand when she summoned him, but Lucius thinks he is lying and that the tattoo is fake. Hinata asks Jinguuji to examine her and he finds a similar tattoo on the back of her neck. The lord Mercus arrives and says Schwartz will be given a chance to prove himself because a living suit of armor is attacking people. ||||||

Hinata covers her with her jacket, but the thought of Hinata being stripped infuriates Jinguuji and he shatters the armor, revealing the real Vizzd is a little girl inside. They arrest and interrogate her while Lucius and Mercus say they thought the Demon Lord was just a story. She says she was trapped in the little girl form and was collecting magical energy to recover. She doesn't believe Schwartz is the hero. That night, the demoness Kalm breaks Vizzd out of prison and suspects Jinguuji is the hero. The next day, Hinata reveals to Schwartz that she used to be male to stop him from hitting on her, devastating him. She also teaches him to see his stats, which he had been unaware of.

She asks Schwartz what happened to the weapon she gave him, Gram, and he nervously conceals the fact that Vizzd destroyed it. Mercus asks Hinata to marry him, wanting the fame of being with a hero, but is beaten up by Lucius while the Goddess of Night leaves. Mercus turns his town into a holy site and asks the heroes to stay, but only Schwartz takes up the offer. On the road, Hinata and Jinguuji spot Telolilo bound and gagged in a passing carriage, but ignore it. They come to a town with excessive squid-based merchandise and purchase food, but Hinata goes missing. Jinguuji finds the carriage from earlier, but it is empty.

With Jinguuji feeling much better, they reach Ishruna and the two go to the temple of the Goddess of Love to find info on the Demon Lord.

Hinata attempts to free Muria and escape, but fails, and she laments that she cannot do anything without Jinguuji. She reminisces on a time Jinguuji rescued her original male self from bullies. The maid gives her a massage, but also pours dark energy into her tattoo, filling her with negative thoughts and jealousy of Jinguuji. The people the king called for, Schwartz and Lucius, arrive.

| The maid is really Kalm in disguise, working with Vizzd and infecting Ugraine with dark energy to destroy Ishruna. The people whom Schwartz defeated snapped out of Hinata's charm and quit, so Kalm and Vizzd take Hinata and Ugraine to the royal armory, which can only be unlocked by two people of royal blood; Hinata counts because she was chosen by the Goddess of Love. They retrieve a giant mecha called Meepon, then after knocking Ugraine out and using Hinata as a living battery, Vizzd pilots it to attack Ishruna. While Lucius and Shen evacuate the civilians, Schwartz is forced to fight Meepon alone because Jinguuji was separated from Hinata for too long and lost his strength. When they realize Hinata is inside it, Jinguuji and Schwartz ride up to Meepon, but Jinguuji does not regain his strength. Suddenly, Hinata awakens and usurps control of Meepon from Vizzd. Still under the influence of the dark energy, she gloats that she is finally powerful, then declares her hatred and envy of Jinguuji and attempts to crush him. ||||||

Touched, Hinata breaks free from Kalm's influence, but Meepon becomes autonomous and attempts to kill everyone. Regaining his strength, Jinguuji and Schwartz destroy the robot and free Hinata.

They decide they must stop the Demon Lord and Schwartz reveals he knew where he lives. As they rest, Hinata realizes she is in love with Jinguuji and is embarrassed.
