**Spoiler warning: *Plot and/or ending details follow. (Skip section)***

Getting close to the capital of Tuskur, Oshtor wonders if they will just let him without problems. Kuon explains that she contacted Tuskur and stated he is an ambassador who is there to repair the relationship between Tuskur and Yamato. One of Tuskur's ambassador's, Camyu, comes and introduces herself, stating she will be their guide. Aruruu then shows up angry and decides to spank Kuon for leaving without saying anything.

Kuon leaves Oshtor as she goes to greet her family. Oshtor meets the Tuskur's owlo, Oboro. Oshtor introduces himself and thanks him for the aid they provided, but Oboro states he needs to thank his daughter. Oboro receives news from Dorry & Guraa that Kuon had returned and immediately starts a feast. He then runs to her room, happy to see her, but falls asleep immediately after that. Kuon dresses as the princess and goes to see Oshtor, but gets annoyed seeing him surrounded by girls. She joins the feast and then asks Oshtor to serve her. Oshtor wonders what is going on, but Kuon then shows her face and asks him again to be her right arm. Since Kuon is the princess, Oshtor notes that when she hit him during her visit in Yamato as the princess, she broke him a rib, but Kuon acts like she doesn't know who this Kuon is and leaves.

Next day, Kuon joins Oshtor wonder what he intends to do. He explains that for him Kuon is Kuon and apologizes for also hiding his true identity a secret. Kuon tells him that she may know where the Master Key is. She takes him to Reliquary, an underground area under the capital. She used to play there as a kid, but no one told her what exactly is inside of it. She asks him if while they are just the two of them, if she can call him Haku. Oshtor agrees and Kuon starts to get closer, wanting to kiss him, but as he backs off, he ends up pushing the wall and finding a new hidden area. Following it, they find a room with chained Abh-kamu, invincible warriors known as the Armor of God. Oshtor realizes they are Abel Kamuls, a humanoid heavy equipment for use in extreme conditions. Biomech suits which were important tools in efforts to restore the planet, however they have a weird extra armor. Oshtor explains they need control panel to control them and Kuon notices a glowing panel in the middle of the room. She goes and presses a button, which activates one of the Abel Kamuls. Excited, she continues to press more buttons. Oshtor warns her to stop and attempts to stop her, but she ignores him and continues pressing buttons. The Abel Kamul then switches to emergency self-defense mode and enters ultra-elimination mode. The Abel Kamul starts to break the chains. Oshtor attempts to deactivate it before it completely breaks free, but it requires a password. Oshtor tries some passwords, but it fails. Guessing it must be some lazy engineer who set up the password, Oshtor uses "password" as a password, which ends up correct and deactivates the Abel Kamul. Excited Kuon asks what was the password, but Oshtor refuses to tell her. Oshtor guesses that if Tuskur has such things underground, they must have some secrets too.

Later, Ulthury visits Oshtor and the girls. She tells Camyu that Munto was looking for her. Munto then shows up, stating he is bringing paperwork for Camyu. She attempts to run, but he uses a spell to stop her and take her to do the paperwork. Ulthury then introduces herself to Oshtor as the Oruyankuru of Onkamiyamukai. She is aware of Oshtor's true identity and that he is one of the Onvitaikayan. She also knows what he is seeking. Oshtor wonders how she knows this. Ulthury states she can't speak of that, or the key to open the door to the truth. Oshtor states he wants the key and Ulthury tells him that no one else would be allowed to say that, but because of who he is, she asks him to come to Onkamiyamukai.
