## Synopsis

Ami and Geo return to Ami's home and is introduced to Queen Gwain.

## Plot

As Geo and Ami return to her home, Ami tries to sneak both herself and Geo into her room without being spotted by anyone. As they enter, they pass a mirror, and Geo realizes that his hair had turned completely white and begins to worry a bit. At the same time, Eolo and Lucy report to Gwain that they still haven't found Ami, and Gwain sends them out to find her. She then notices Ami and Geo on the floor below thanks to him being distracted. Ami pulls him away and they make it to her room. After she closes the door behind them, she here's a knock and Ami prompts Geo to stay still. After opening the door a crack, she realizes it's her mom and quickly closes the door. We then cut to the other side of the door, with Gwain waiting outside while noises, presumably from Ami's room, can be heard.

Gwain visits Ami's room and leans against a closet during the ensuing conversation; she's well aware that Ami brought an uninvited guest. After some buildup, the camera abruptly pans right to show Geo wearing a lampshade, which Gwain promptly knocks off.

Gwain questions why Ami had brought in a stranger, as she's never brought anyone to the castle before. After demanding for the truth, they begin staring at each other (assumed to be Gwain using Mind Read on Ami) and she knows what happened according to Ami. She thanks Geo, but she's still a little suspicious about him and begins asking what his name is and why his hair is white. While being asked, Geo is briefly distracted by Ami's pet dragon, Noobe. After all that's said and done, Gwain gets the maids to prepare a guest room for him. After she leaves, it cuts to Noobe, who was placed on Geo's head.

The next morning, we cut to a few shots of Ami's morning routine, with shots of Noobe sleeping in between. After Ami get's dressed and Gwain gets her morning coffee, Ami goes to Geo's room to wake him up. After that, Ami takes him to her room and gives him one of her sports uniforms to change out of his regular jacket, with her being overwhelmed on how heavy his jacket is. The two then head to The Great Hall for breakfast with Gwain. At the table, Geo is amazed by how much food there is, with Gwain saying it as thanks for saving Ami. In her head, though, she's thinking of all the odd things about him, like how his hair color should have recovered after his rest. She almost concludes there's a special case with him until he takes off his visor, revealing his human eyes.

Seeing this, she attacks Geo and tells the guards to take Ami to her room and make sure she doesn't leave. After that, she teleports outside and dons her armor, saying that Teora is no place for him, and she'll have to end him as quickly as possible. Gwain proceeds to beat up Geo with a combination of magic attacks and brutal force, with Geo attempting to get away. After knocking him into a waterfall, Gwain prepares her execution beam. Just before she fires, Ami gets in the way. Gwain questions how she always evades the guards. We get our answer to a cutaway of multiple guards, who have all fallen asleep after being shot by Ami's tranquility arrows.

Gwain attempts to get Ami to move so she can execute Geo before he presumably becomes a threat. Ami refuses, and Gwain responds with her prejudice against humans. What ultimately convinces her to spare Geo - and what is one of the few things to perturb her - is Ami's Death Glare. Gwain decides to trust her, but asks how she's gonna revitalize him after the coma he's fallen into.

3 days later, Geo wakes up in a dark room, with no idea where he is. He assumes he's in a safe place until a pair of glowing eyes appears in the dark, revealed to be Ami's. After Geo is promptly shocked by her, Gwain appears on his left side, scaring him into a very, very high pitched scream. Gwain tells him to relax, and that he has Ami to thank for her sparing him and offers her a deal. In exchange for sparing him, Geo will have to be Ami's personal bodyguard and that he'll be under royal supervision, and that if anything happens to Ami, she'll kill him. She also tells him that they got him a Golem Ring to compensate for his weight change since entering Teora. As Gwain explains just what the Golem Ring can do, Geo activates it and plummets through the floor.

After that, Gwain gives Ami permission to leave the castle for the day to go to the market, but tells her to make sure she does not draw attention to herself. Geo and Ami are then seen sneaking around the market in disguises trying not to be seen. While Ami's pretending to be all stealthy and Geo following behind her, someone recognizes her. Ami's mask falls off and we cut to bread girl Lanney. After asking how Ami got permission to go out for the day, Ami introduces her to Geo, with Lanney being amazed that she got her own personal bodyguard. Lanney introduces herself to Geo, and tells him how she appreciates him taking care of the princess and how he'll do a good job, and bows as a a form of greetings. Geo, confused, bows too. As Lanney tells them to be careful about some mysterious individual, we get brief shots from said individual who appears to be closing in fast. After a crash, Luna flips through the air and pulls out a gun and aims at Ami. After opening fire, Geo steps in and takes the hits, and is immediately knocked down. The would-be assassin lands, and a nearby guard alerts the area of her and tells everyone to attack. She gives them a glimpse, then suddenly a really big robot appears, prompting everyone to leave. The robot opens fire and Luna blocks some of Ami's incoming arrows, with Lanney hiding behind Ami. After attempting to approach the two, Geo grabs her ankle to stop her. In response, she primes her gauntlet and aims for Geo, only to be interrupted by a bag of flour thrown into the air and Ami shooting it open.

The flour covers the area like smoke, and Geo tries to use this to detain the biker. Someone get's knocked out of the cloud, into the robot, and into a nearby clocktower. Ami assumes its Luna, until the flour clears and it was Geo who was knocked away. Luna then turns back to Lanney and Ami, then her robot follows shortly after, ready to attack them. Geo then comes down and crushes the robot, with both of them falling into a hole in the ground (Revealed to have been made by Lanney in Episode 7).

Geo and Luna continue their fight in the sewers. Luna and her robot manage to land a heavy combo on Geo, but Geo is able to bounce back and knock the robot back. Luna's helmet scans Geo and reveals his equipment. Seeing as he has a Golem Ring, she realizes Geo is part of Gwain's Royal Guard. She commands her robot to charge. Geo, completely unready, has no idea what to do until he sees his EXE Blade flash. As the robot approaches, he unsheathes the blade and once it got close, he slices it in half. Geo, stunned at what he's just done, is briefly distracted. Luna uses this opportunity to close the gap and throw a rocket punch. Geo is knocked into the sewer grate and presumably stunned for a bit. Luna, who grabbed his EXE Blade in the punch, questions how he got them, but says he'll need more than those to beat her. She concedes the fight and lets Geo keep his stuff and leaves on her motorcycle. After she leaves, the remains of her robot begin to start beeping, indicating it's gonna blow. Back on the surface, Lanney and Ami are on the ground, still stunned as to what happened. When the explosion goes off, they're shocked and Ami goes towards the crater to check on Geo, when the robot's arm rises up from the ground. Geo then emerges from the rubble and surprises her. Ami, while glad he's okay, is disgusted by how he smells from the sewer. After all that, Lanney thanks Geo for what he's done today and assures him he and Ami will make a great team. They say their goodbyes and split up for the day, where Lanney presumably heads for her bakery and Geo and Ami head to the castle.

In the epilogue, Luna is seen observing a monitor analyzing Geo, revealing his "Target Rank" to be 5.
