## Synopsis

After finishing her "3-year" training in a dungeon, Slyphy learns that she in fact was gone for over 3 thousand years.

This leads to a deadly encounter for Ard, who is roped into participating in a school festival that's being targeted by an organization called Lars al Ghoul.

## Summary

Slyphy completes her "3-year" training in the Phantom Forest dungeon to impress her sister Lydia. However, when she reaches the outside city, she's left astounded by everything. After nearly being struck by a couple of wagons, Slyphy hides in an alleyway and is approached by a masked individual. He informs Slyphy that instead of three years, she's been gone 3 thousand years, which Slyphy feigns that she already knew. The two then walk and talk by the city's river, and he informs Slyphy that Varvatos is dead, but has been since reincarnated. Furthermore, he notes that if she wants to learn about Lydia's past and current condition, asking the reincarnation would be best and reveals it Ard.

Meanwhile, at the academy, Golde talks with Ard, Ireena, and Ginny about the upcoming school festival and hopes that they'll help out with it to earn the school more money. It's offered in exchange for Ard's recusing himself from the sword tournament; he'd participate in the play. However, a threatening letter is brought up, one written in human skin that Golde reveals. The letter's sender was from the organization Lars al Ghoul, and Golde requests that Ard participates in the place while also patrolling the school grounds. Ginny and Ireena both volunteer Ard and themselves to help out with the festival, much to Ard's dismay. He does, however, mention the lack of adequate people to patrol the ground during the festival, but Golde notes that Olivia has that situation covered. To Ard, he believes that Olivia has an ulterior motive for her actions.

Afterward, Ard is confronted by a livid Slyphy, who approaches Ard and demands to know why he reincarnated and the whereabouts of Lydia. Ireena intervenes and offers to duel her in Ard's place. Seeing Lydia in Ireena, Slyphy asks who she is, and Ireena answers that she's Ard's friend. Slyphy then asks to be her friend, and Ireena flatly refuses, so Slyphy accepts the duel conditions, and Olivia allows it. Due to being coerced into fighting the duel, Ard agrees to duel against Slyphy.

On the duel grounds, Ard fights Slyphy on equal footing, but in the end, wins the duel. While refusing to admit defeat, Slyphy casts Demise-Argis, summoning a magic sword out of thin air. Using the blade, Slyphy casts Vel Stena Olvidis, but Ard manages to protect himself from the spell with a magical barrier. Before she was able to cast another, Olivia stopped her and chastises her for the harm and damage that she's done to the students and school. Paying no mind to the trouble she's caused, Slyphy is then reprimanded by Ireena who makes Slyphy recall being punished by Lydia. This causes Slyphy to tearfully apologize to Ireena who then consoles the emotional Slyphy.

Later that afternoon, Ard discusses with the selected students who were assigned to help with the school play and discusses what the school play's theme will be. It's briefly interrupted by Slyphy's ill-tempered nature against a trio of haughty nobles from another class who plan on earning a lucrative amount of money in the upcoming festival. In response to their pretentious remark, Ireena refutes their remark as churlish behavior and that her class will outdo theirs. Returning to the room where the play was being discussed, Ard is elected to play the Demon Lord, Ireena as Lydia, and Slyphy as the Evil God in the play. Next, the topic of discussion is the theme of the event they'll be hosting. It's by Ginny's suggestion that they'll do a maid cafe. Unbeknownst to them all, they were being observed by the masked man who approached Slyphy back in the city.
