## Overview

Maestro provides Brago with some important information regarding the rules of the In-Between World and invites him to join their powers together. At the same time, Gash, Kiyomaro, and Umagon wander the In-Between World until they are ambushed by Kurogane’s iron army who seek to bring them to Maestro.

## Plot

In a guest room in Maestro’s castle, Sherie and Brago briefly speak with each other about their current situation. Sherie expresses to Brago her concern over putting too much trust into Maestro while Brago responds saying that regardless of Maestro’s credibility, it’s in their best interest to gather any information they can. Just as they finish speaking, one of Maestro’s servants enters the room to inform Brago that Maestro wishes to have a word with him while Sherie stays behind. Brago complies and meets with Maestro as he had wished. Maestro would then take the opportunity to offer Brago some valuable information in regards to the rules of the In-Between World. He begins by reminding Brago that in the Demon World, demons are able to cast spells freely whereas in the Human World, their spells cannot be used without the assistance of a human partner and a spell book. The In-Between World exists as a penal colony and any exiled demons who are sent to that world are unable to cast spells. Maestro mentions however that so long as a demon has their own spell book, they are able to use spells without a human partner. Maestro finally concludes his explanation by then suggesting to Brago could use his spells freely and they could both benefit in positions of power if they join forces. Despite this proposition, Brago refuses as his primary goal was to return to the Human World and win the battle to decide the next king of the Demon World.

Meanwhile, Gash, Umagon, and Kiyomaro Takamine continue wandering through the In-Between world. Though all three of them were beginning to feel tired and lost, remembering that they have friends waiting for them and a battle to resume when they return home gives them the motivation they need to keep moving forward. Just as the group cross a bridge and enter a clearing, they narrowly dodge an incoming attack. When they look up, they see that they are completely surrounded by an army of iron suited demons who were all led by one of Maestro’s commanders, Kurogane. Kurogane orders for the three of them to surrender immediately as they are to be taken directly to Maestro. Kiyomaro attempts to ask questions about this but they are all promptly disregarded by Kurogane who would then go on to simply refer to Kiyomaro’s group as nothing but tools. The group becomes angered hearing this and decide that the best course of action for them would be to fight their way out of the situation. As Gash’s spell book glows brightly in Kiyomaro’s hand, Kurgane’s iron army reacts in fear at the sight of the spell book which once again prompts Kiyomaro to wonder why they were afraid of it. Kurogane however remains unfazed by the sight of it and orders his army to begin their assault.

Kurogane’s army unleashes a barrage of attacks onto the group using weapons that mimic the appearances of various spells. When Kiyomaro thinks about this, he realizes that demons in the In-Between World rely on these weapons as they are unable to cast spells themselves and only those with a spell book can. After deflecting some incoming attacks using *Rashirudo*, Kiyomaro’s group ran in the opposite direction of Kurogane’s position as part of their strategy to defeat their surrounding enemies in their weakest spots. Kiyomaro then casts *Rauzaruku* and Gash, and even Umagon, begin fighting back against Kurogane’s army. Kiyomaro would also assist them by obtaining one of the army’s weapons and reciting the correct spell in order to use them. After some time, Kiyomaro and Gash would then use *Jikerudo* to magnetize their opponents which forces many groups of them to become stuck to one another due to their iron armor.

Kurogane would also be pulled in by *Jikerudo’s* force to a nearby cluster of soldiers but he manages to break free from it. Kurogane would then jump down to face Kiyomaro’s group himself as the last one standing and would also use a variety of pseudo-spells to attack the group. When Kurogane lifts a large boulder into the air using one of these attacks, Gash and Kiyomaro destroy it using *Zakeruga*. When this boulder shatters into smaller chunks of iron ore, Kiyomaro and Gash magnetize Kurogane with *Jikerdor* as part of their plan to have the iron ore target Kurogane directly and defeat him using it. This strategy goes according to plan and Kurogane lays utterly defeated along with the rest of his army. Kiyomaro would then gather information from Kurogane about his orders from Maestro and how Maestro himself was located in the same castle that they were to be brought to. After learning that Maestro acted as the king of the In-Between world, they all decide to head to the castle themselves in order to find out if Maestro knows a way to return them home.

At the same time, Brago quietly returns to the guest room while also thinking about the information Maestro had provided to him. Sherie would try to ask him what had happened, but he quietly walks past her in the direction of his spell book. He puts his hand on his spell book and it begins to glow. Brago then recites his first spell, *Reisu*, and just as Maestro had told him, he was able to use his own spells without Sherie’s help. Just as he had come in, Brago just as quietly leaves the room with his spell book in hand leaving Sherie speechless as to what she had just witnessed. Simultaneously, Maestro is informed of what had happened with Kurogane’s unit and how Kiyomaro’s group were on their way to meet with him in his castle. Though initially surprised by the news, Maestro chuckles to himself as he knew that everything was still going according to plan for him and it was only a matter of time until everything finally came together.
