Novis returned to the Ariadia Republic because of general Crasus' urgent request for extermination of fiends. He was going to the public bath so he can meet with Shizufe later. He gets knocked out by Shirone.

Novis walks through the city of Tesesia, while feeling jealous of Reiji's growing reputation in the nations of the Ariad Alliance.

Novis joined the labyrinth exploration. Novis partied up with the Beautiful Maiden Party and they encountered a cockatrice. Novis' leg was affected by the petrifaction poison.

Novis is displeased with Reiji acting friendly with Shizufe.

Novis, Leiria and Nola defeated zombies from the right. Novis was amazed as he watched Chiyuki easily killed an evileye, while Rino killed a slime.

Novis was grumpy because Reiji invited Shizufe. They were cornered by Munesuki and Chichisuki. Kyouka, Novis, and Gordan were able to resist the fear magic of the minotaurs. Novis was the first to incapacitated.

Novis was sparing with Kayna and Shizufe. Justia hugged Novis and suffocated him till he was unconscious.

As the riverboat is sailing through the Kish River, Novis declares his intention to become Shirone's disciple, despite Shizufe trying to stop him. Novis picks a fight her Kuroki.

Novis becomes depressed and his friends decided to cheer him up with a expensive meal. Zepha and Nephim recruit Novis and Gordan to subjugate the lizardmen.

The departure was delayed as Novis and Gordan had overslept because they completed drinking.

The four heroes, the beautiful maiden party and Justia arrived at the small shrine of Lavuruntos to hunt the lizardmen. They were approached by the dark knight. Novis was blown away by the dark knight and sent unconscious.

Novis joins the kish river cruising. Novis and Zepha laugh at the situation of Regena giving the colder shoulder to Nephim.

Novis joins the Beautiful Maiden Party, Decius and the Hero of Light's Party to the underground waterway. Novis complains to make the surrounding more brighter. He becomes moody when Reiji saves Shizufe from a Giant Rat Rider. As they retreated, Shizufe urged Novis to help carry the unconscious man on behalf of Decius. They were surrounded by Zeal and ratmen.Novis activated his beast afflatus and attacks Zeal. Shizufe supports Novis with her magic, while Novis wields a great sword and wipes out the surrounding ratmen. Novis doesn't respond to Shizufe's calling. Novis still fighting aggressively against Zeal. Zeal's attack has smashed Shizufe's magic shield and blew Novis away. Novis is blown to the side and hits the wall and becomes stuck.

Novis was exhausted in battle and could not even walk properly. Sienna lends her shoulders to Novis and walks down the waterway. Novis has certainly groped her breasts by taking advantage of the situation. They witnessed Reiji facing the fiends in the sky. He was amazed with Reiji overwhelming Ranfeld and self-deprive that he was no match for him. Novis was impressed with the dark knight absorbing Reiji's light bullets.
