Lien becomes concerned over Wonrei when she notices him acting differently all of a sudden. When Lien follows him into town, she sees him go into a shop that’s selling a TV and is confused as to why Wonrei seems to want one so much.

Desperate to know more about what’s going on, Lien continues to follow and watch Wonrei as he’s led into a fighting tournament hosted by this woman.

## Plot

After suffering a humiliating loss in his battle against Rein, Rodeux blames his defeat on Gash and Kiyomaro’s interference in the battle and swears he’ll make them pay for their meddling. Meanwhile, Gash and Kiyomaro browse a gift shop at the airport to buy souvenirs for their friends before they head home. They think about each of their friends as they look at potential gifts and as they think about Wonrei and Lien, they remember how much Wonrei seemed to want a TV when they last saw him. As they walk around the shop, Gash comes across something that he feels would be a great gift to send to them and Kiyomaro agrees. Meanwhile, Wonrei and Lien return home to eat lunch after spending the afternoon working together in the fields. When Lien tries to speak with him, Wonrei doesn’t respond as he appears to have been lost in thought. Lien asks if anything was wrong to which Wonrei responds that there wasn’t. Soon after, Wonrei decides to take a break from work the rest of the day and leaves without telling Lien where he’s going. Lien regards Wonrei’s recent behavior as strange as Wonrei up to that point hadn’t left her behind to go out by himself and becomes worried over him. Because of this, Lien decides to quietly follow Wonrei into town to find out more about what’s going on. In town, she notices Wonrei go into a store. She takes a look inside and sees a TV and remembers how Wonrei had been asking her about them getting one. Not long after this, Wonrei leaves the store and when she follows him again, she discovers him secretly meeting up with a mysterious woman. Lien becomes shocked as she immediately suspects that Wonrei is being unfaithful and she flees the area in tears. When she gets away, she continues to cry as she struggles to understand why this is happening. Not before long though, Lien suddenly becomes furious over the situation and decides to keep following Wonrei.

The woman, Yun, leads Wonrei to the location of a fighting tournament she’s hosting in order to find a bodyguard. Yun encourages Wonrei to participate as she knows that he needs money and Wonrei reluctantly follows her into the site. Inside, there are numerous other contestants in this tournament who are determined to win the job and monetary prize pool. Wonrei goes along and effortlessly defeats a few opponents before suddenly being challenged by a masked Lien, who suddenly joins the tournament in order to confront Wonrei. Wonrei is shocked to see her there but is confused as to why she is challenging him to a fight. Lien refuses to back down however and she takes out her anger on him as she’s still under the presumption that Wonrei is cheating on her. Wonrei does his best to defend against her fury of attacks while trying to figure out what’s wrong but Lien continues to attack Wonrei at every chance she gets.She fights with him before noticing that all the other contestants in the tournament have turned their attention to her and Wonrei because of Yun’s orders. Wonrei asks Lien to believe him that he hadn’t done anything she thinks he did and Lien finally begins to realize this as she looks into his eyes. As the crowd of men charge toward them to attack, Wonrei and Lien work together to fight them off.

Yun orders that the men finish them off but is shocked when she sees how Wonrei and Lien are able to easily defeat everyone with their teamwork and fighting abilities. After everyone had been defeated, Lien demands Yun to explain herself but Yun instead swears she’ll remember what they’ve done and quickly runs off. Lien still has a decent idea of who they are but doesn’t elaborate this to Wonrei as she’s still somewhat upset at him. At the same time at Faudo, Rodeux explains his recent failure to Riou in regards to recruiting the additional power Riou needs in order to destroy Faudo’s seal. Rodeux then asks Riou about how much power is needed to destroy this seal. Riou explains that he needs at least two or three more demons who are capable of using Dioga class spells or higher to execute his plan to eliminate the remaining demons in the Human World. Although Faudo remains invisible on the outside for now, Riou insists that they must hurry in recruiting the remaining demons they need. Rodeux questions how Riou will be able to do this as he believes there are not many demons capable of Dioga class spells remaining but Riou assures him that he has a plan for this.

As Wonrei and Lien walk home, Lien asks Wonrei about the TV she thought he was looking at earlier that day but Wonrei corrects her by saying he actually wanted the pair of shoes next to the TV. He goes on to tell her that he wanted to get her a new pair of shoes because he noticed how worn down her current pair is but didn’t have the money to get them. He also mentions that it was especially important to him because their anniversary was soon as well. After hearing Wonrei’s side of the story, Lien feels embarrassed for being suspicious of Wonrei that day. When they come home, they find that a package from Gash and Kiyomaro arrived. When they open it, they see that they bought Lien a new pair of shoes just like the one that Wonrei wanted to get her. Lien smiles at having received such a thoughtful gift and she and Wonrei embrace and share a laugh over how things seemed to have worked out in the end.
