Item Course

The **Item Course** (「物」コース, *Mono kōsu*) is one of three courses part of the qualifying rounds of the Rosengarten Schlacht.

## Overview

The course takes place in a forest. Various beasts and monsters guarding treasure chests roam the forest. Contestants must defeat monsters to obtain the treasures they guard and then defeat the boss monster while in possession of a treasure.

## Event Summary

Beowulf defeats monsters and allows other contestants to take the treasures. Inspired by Beowulf's actions, they remove their pants and become Beowulf's followers.

Lynn flees from a monster not wanting to kill it, but is saved by Gawain. She thanks Gawain, referring to "onii-san". Surprised someone recognized him as male despite his idol dress, Gawain decides to aid Lynn. Opening the treasure from the monster the find a replica wine glass from the last supper capable of producing great amounts of wine. Orochi arrive to drink the wine and thanks them for it. As a reward, Orochi takes Gawain's virginity. With his newfound confidence, Gawain defeats a monster that attempts to ambush them with ease. From that monster's treasure, Gawain obtains a sword he dubs **Galatine**. The three journey together until they come across another monster. Obtaining its treasure, they find a bracelet resembling the family heirloom Lofn had been searching for. The bracelet takes control of Lofn, forcibly transforming her into her dragon form and causing her to lash out uncontrollably. Gernot declares it the boss monster for the course.

Beowulf and his new followers arrive at the dragon's location. Lofn attacks Beowulf to no avail. Beowulf attacks Lofn, destroying the bracelet. Gawain defends Lofn before Beowulf can harm her any further. Orochi defeats Beowulf's followers while he battles Gawain. Beowulf incapacitates Gawain and he prepares to face off with Orochi, but Lofn having regained her senses, offers her life to prevent further bloodshed. Beowulf calls out to Gawain, telling him to stand and make good on his promise to protect the dragon. Awakening to new power, Gawain stands as the sunlight begins to heal his wounds. The two battle as Sinbad and Mulan watch from the distance, discussing how to best take advantage of the situation. Gawain and Beowulf battle, with Gawain successfully destroying Beowulf's armor. Their fight is interrupted when Sinbad ambushes them with his legion of Roc. The drones bind Beowulf for Sinbad to attack him but Gawain defends Beowulf. Mulan attempts to attack Beowulf from the distance but her attack is blocked by Orochi. Sinbad orders his drones to self-destruct on Lofn to prevent anyone from winning the course but Beowulf unleashes a powerful blast destroying all the drones and freeing himself, foiling Sinbad's plans.

Beowulf and Gawain speak. Gawain knows Beowulf never planned to kill Lofn and was simply trying to draw out his potential which he thanks him for. Beowulf tells Gawain he has become a fan of his and announces withdrawal from the round and declares his intention to protect the dragon. With no one willing to oppose Beowulf and fight the boss monster, Gernot announces they are all disqualified. Beowulf uses a healing treasure he picked up to heal the wounds of all those nearby, restoring Lofn to her humanoid form. The warriors part ways, promising to see each other in the next round.

## Aftermath

The item course was the second of the qualifiers to end after the People Course.

Gernot grows increasingly frustrated at the turn of events, having already had to disqualify all the participants of the people course. Hagen attempts to comfort Gernot with their breasts and warns him there will be trouble if all participants get eliminated in the qualifiers. Gernot reassures Hagen that he has the situation accounted for.

Beowulf apologizes to his new followers for failing to lead them to victory. They express their faith and gratitude in Beowulf. Upon checking the treasure chests they obtained, they find them all to be empty.

Yamato Takeru punches Orochi in the gut, relieving her stomach illness and causing her to vomit up all the treasure she had stolen from the other contestants.

Lynn and Lyng vent their frustration out on Siegfried by using him as a practice dummy. With both of them being eliminated, they have no choice but to put their faith in Dietrich to win for their team. Lofn and Lyng express their doubts, believing he would lose purposely to invoke Lynn's wrath.

Gawain tries to Arthur who is upset that both of them were disqualified and worried they will not make it into the tournament.
