## Summary

Mary Bult and Minerva had a scene where the latter cautioned the former about her plan. Mary managed to convince Minerva. Two men in gas masks overlooked a field of coldfire. A young Schaake Gutheil was distraught over her mother's disappearance and offered her mother's diary to her father as a clue. The father dismissed her angrily.

Arriving in Gutheil, Schaake Gutheil is recognizes by girls her age and have a small talk with them. Klaus explains that she is a student in normal life and also the daughter of the duke that governs Gutheil. Klaus gives Innumael Grauer money and list of items to buy as they need gifts for those that will hide him. He goes to buy a specific brand of alcohol, but as it's rare and last bottle, a man asks him if he can have it. Innumael doesn't agree, but the man forces him to flip a coin and luckily for Innumael, he wins. However, a child then enters the store, wanting to buy the same alcohol brand and hearing that if he doesn't buy it, his father will beat him, Innumael ends up giving him the alcohol.

Schaake returns home and heads looking for her mother's diary. She confirms the symbol in it is the same as the one she has been seeing lately. Meanwhile, Innumael returns to Arnold and the rest empty handed. They tell him to pray that the branch chief in Gutheil is in good mood. A man then enters and Innumael is surprised it's the man he flipped coins with. He introduces himself as Jade, the branch chief of Headkeepers in Gutheil. He explains he had to test him and Innumael realizes everyone knew it was a test and set up with the kid. Jade informs them that they lost contact with Elfriede and other people and that lately the Imperial Army is predicting their actions and feel there is a traitor among them.

During dinner, Schaake's father receives a letter and after reading it, he tells Schaake to not leave the house for a couple of days. In his room, he calls a servant and explains that she must prevent Schaake from going out and meeting with Headkeeper members as the military plans on taking them all out and he doesn't want they to capture his daughter. He cannot tell her the truth as he knows that she will escape and warn her friends, and since this is a secret operation know to few, he will be immediately suspected. Learning that Schaake will be remaining in Gutheil for a bit, Arnold and Benjamin decide to return to the capital, while Klaus remains with her in Gutheil. At night, Klaus secretly speaks with Innumael and asks him to learn what Elfriede had learned about luminosis.

Leocadio Wöhler brings Sissel to Helman. However Leocadio can't stop thinking that Helman's interrogation could be rough, as he shares that with Conrad Wisdom and others, Conrad comments that she isn't a criminal and it will be okay, but the other men tell him that Sissel was just arrested. Hearing that Leocadio heads into Helman's office wondering why he arrested her. Helman explains that Innumael is the only identified Headkeeper member and if they release Sissel, his comrades will come for her. Leocadio then visits Sissel in her cell and apologizes for what happened. She is fine with it and asks him to give an item to her brother if he meets him. Before Arnold and Benajim leave, Innumael comes to them and asks to join them claiming he wants to see the truth.
