## Summary

Its been three days since Oliver and his group went into the labyrinth. Guy begins to worry, but Katie believes that they will be fine and save Pete, and all they can do is take class notes for them. Guy is also worried about Oliver, since they will be facing Ophelia and her perfume, but Katie still believes that Oliver will be fine.

Meanwhile, Oliver's group is getting closer to Ophelia and her perfume starts to affect him, so he tells Nanao to stay a bit away from him. Nanao wonders why and Vera explains that Ophelia's perfume makes guys horny. She tells Oliver to take the medicine to counter the perfume's effect. The group then will be proceeding by boat, which forces Oliver to tell Teresa to head back. However, before going on the boat, Vera decides to teach them on how to walk on water. While Oliver and Michela have heard about the spell, they haven't mastered it, since its not a spell a first year student learns. After explaining it, he group then tries and quickly learns it.

Vera notices that there are too few beasts in the lake. In that moment Cyrus Rivermoore appears and summons a skeleton snake-like beast. Vera explains that Ophelia had kidnapped one of Oliver's friends and they are heading to save him. Cyrus believes that they will either way die, so he decides to kill them now, however Michela proposes they cooperate. She guesses that he is on this layer because he wants to be the first to obtain Ophelia's research, which they are willing to give it to him as they only want their friend back. However Cyrus states he isn't here for that and explains that he has small obligation to fulfil and is here to attend Ophelia's funeral. Vera uses the chance and guessing that Ophelia won't leave the lake unguarded, she managed to lure a water chimera that attack's Cyrus monster.

Carlos wonders if Ophelia remembers how they met with Alvin and he is sure she does. Back then, Carlos wanted Ophelia to have some friends and introduced Alvin to her. He didn't expect her perfume to be that strong and uses a pain spell to inflict pain on himself like he was kicked between the legs in order to combat her perfume. Alvin kept greeting Ophelia for about two months, and each time inflicted pain on himself. However his pain paid off as he no longer feels inappropriate feelings towards Ophelia. While there may have been easier ways with medicine or spells, the pain he felt in those two months is nothing compared to the pain Ophelia had to deal in her entire life. Alvin introduces Ophelia to Lesedi Ingwe and Tim Linton, explaining that the four of them try to help those that happen to need help, since the school is quite dangerous. They sometimes recruit people, but the recruits quickly leave. Alvin asks Ophelia if she can help them and she explains that she can make simple potions and use basic healing magic. Alvin then wonders if she can heal burns and uses a flame spell which hurts him. He explains that he can't use the properly the amount of mana he was born with. She heals his burn and tells him that she will be there to heal him when he needs.

Alvin feels he failed Ophelia, even though it may not be his fault, he should have done something. Their group starts to get popular and other students wish to join them. One evening, a group of students ask Ophelia why is she acting like Alvin's right hand. They also tells her that there are rumors that she uses her perfume to control him. They don't believe she is really helping him as there are others who can use better healing magic. Ophelia wonders that if she is strong if they will be fine with her and they confirm it. Ophelia then creates a monster and attacks them. Since then Ophelia starts to use more openly her perfume. Tim is annoyed by that and questions if she intends to seduce Alvin. As Ophelia doesn't deny it, Tim gets angry and attacks her. Alvin later finds the defeated Tim.

At Ophelia's lair, unable to hold any longer, Ophelia leaves the lair. Pete the uses the chance and escapes. He goes outside and uses the distress orb.

## Adaptation Notes

### Light Novel-Anime Differences

* The potion that Oliver drinks to resist Ophelia's succubus Perfume is original to the anime.
* The episode slightly compresses the flashbacks to Ophelia's backstory with the Kimberly Campus Watch, in particular leaving out Lesedi Ingwe's explanation that the main reason Tim Linton repels people from joining the Watch is his carelessness with his poisons.
