## Summary

On route to an event called Festival of the Spirit at Cavarin, Wein laments that he's going to such an event where trouble is sure to arise. Ninym is also there and has dyed her hair to hide her white hair. Back in Natra, Falanya finishes her studies with Claudius and asks him about the Festival of the Spirit. He tells her a bit of its religious background. Returning to Wein and Ninym warns him to not do anything inappropriate.

Arriving at the Jilaat mine, Wein and company enjoy a meal and heard from the head miner that production there is going well. Hearing that, they plan on seeking out new veins, although elated to hear that, Wein warns to move at a steady pace as moving too proactive would attract unsavory characters. The topic then changes to General Hagal's retirement and how some nobles are showing signs of rebellion. Meanwhile, a clandestine meeting with said nobles is held and their plans to take out Wein is decided.

The following day, Wein's wagon is ambushed by soldiers dressed as brigands. Right when one of the axel wheels of Wein's wagon is busted, remnants of Marden's forces rescue him and Ninym. Wein then requests an audience with Prince Helmut and later at an undisclosed place is met by Zeno who informs him of Helmut's condition. The moment Zeno asks Wein what is his motive, he answers truthfully that it's to Festival of the Spirit at Cavarin. This causes Zeno to draw her sword at Wein and threatens to kill him, however, Wein successfully manages to negotiate with Zeno to forge a temporary alliance with each other. Soon, the group reaches the capital of Cavarin, Tristoria. There, Wein plans on taking Raklum and a few others with him for his meeting with the king. Ninym would head the team and collect information. As for Zeno, she plans on doing the same as Ninym only with her people.

On the day of the event, Wein and his company pass by a couple of people, one of them General Levert, curtly welcomes them to Cavarin and goes on his way. Wein then reasons with Raklum to not draw his sword and notice the bandage around the arm of the person accompanying Lervert. He recalls the leader of the Brigands getting shot with an arrow that day and the person's facial features closely resembles the brigand's as well. Soon, Wein meets with the king of Cavarin, Ordalasse who insists he follows him to meet the other attendees.

Elsewhere, Zeno tries to assassinate Holonyeh, but is stopped and pulled aside somewhere by Ninym. They talk about how Holonyeh, once a noble of Marden is now sided with Cavarin. Meanwhile, Wein finds out that he's been roped into meeting with the seven holy elites of the Levethian religion and is nominated by the king to join their ranks. That night, Wein has a fit about this, and although Ninym notes its strict prerequisite process to join, Wein claims that he fits one of them. Considering to accept the offer, Wein states that he'll do some courtesy calls to the other members, and Ninym asks him to take Zeno along with him.

The following day, Wein takes Zeno with him to first see Caldmellia the director of the Bureau of Teachings. Although Caldmellia is in favor of Wein joining the elites, she imposes one condition. That condition is to "complete Marden's salvation" by that she meant killing all of the remnants. Understanding the demand, Zeno and Wein leave as Caldmellia watches from afar and is revealed to be in cahoots with Owl. Following Wein's orders, Ninym spies on Levert who was having a conversation with Holonyeh. Meanwhile, the corrupt nobles are shown to have overtaken the Jilaat mine, and Caldmellia talks with Owl about her decision to allow Wein to join the elites on the condition she imposed.
