## Summary

When Yuji and his group arrive at Ordarion and immediately head to the Adventurer's Guild there. Noticing that the people there attentively watch his every move, Yuji decides to leave, but leaves Sura behind to eavesdrop on a couple of men who discuss his presence in the town. To no surprise, they were a part of the Blue Moon of Salvation and decided to seek advice from Master Walter on how to approach the situation involving Yuji any further. As Yuji eavesdrops on this conversation, he's approached by Steyl and his associate.

Afterward, Yuji, Steyl, and his associate reserve the town's church, and Steyl reveals that a revelation brought him to that place to meet with Yuji. In turn, Yuji conveys that the Blue Moon of Salvation has the town's Guild under their control, and they're also cautious of Steyl. Steyl then reveals his past with a man known as Walter and the history of the Blue Moon church. It started as a way to honor fallen comrades, which gradually grew into a large organization where Walter joined and became Steyl's, right-hand man. However, unbeknownst to Steyl, Walter had nefarious ambitions, and through a divine revelation, Steyl was commanded to dismantle his organization. Not wanting to betray his comrades, Steyl refused to follow the command, and days later, his church was attacked, and his companions allowed him to escape at the cost of their lives. The divine message was a warning to Steyl about the attack as an attempt of Walter to usurp control of the Blue Moon Church, transforming it into the Blue Moon of Salvation. Remorseful of his past miscreations, Steyl traveled to Ordarion to warn and advise Yuji to stand against Walter as the divine emissary to prevent him from hatching his nefarious plot to "purify" the world. Although Yuji denies being the divine emissary, Steyl points out that he who wields the Dagger of Kethis is the divine emissary. With that, Steyl wishes him the best of luck.

Watching Yuji walk away from the church from his room, Steyl's associate Johann asks Steyl why he didn't reveal the entire revelation to him. The reason why Steyl did this was to protect Yuji, as he believed he'd turn his back on the task if he knew the whole truth. Elsewhere, Walter receives a report about Yuji's meeting with Steyl. After hearing it, Walter heads into a room where he prays to a machine containing fluids that would launch his plan into fruition. In his room, Yuji contemplates Steyl and Walter's relationship and how he's the divine emissary. Yuji then recalls the receptionist from Ricaardo informing him about a Slime Tamer who had a similar ability in the past that she heard about from the church.

The following day, Yuji tries to ask Steyl about it, but he finds out that Steyl and Johann had to leave the town due to pressing matters. Heading outside, Yuji asks his Slimes if they saw anyone leave resembling Steyl and Johann, and both Mayusura and Pekesura report that they did. Yuji then orders the two to find and follow them.

Meanwhile, Steyl and Johann locate a tainted barrier, and Steyl purifies it allowing the two passage through it. They then locate a dilapidated building where the Blue Moon of Salvation made their home base. Learning of the location of Steyl and Johann from his Slimes, Yuji has them guide him to their location as the two in question continue forward and encounter a group of Blue Moon members. Steyl casts a couple of defensive spells on himself and Johann; then, he prepares to face off against their opponents. Soon Yuji arrives in the area, dispels the barrier, and heads inside it as Steyl and Johann reach the building. Inside the main hallway of the building, they're confronted by Walter and his cohorts, and Steyl vows to redeem himself by stopping Walter. Amused by Steyl's conviction, Walter signals his cohorts to ready themselves to attack Steyl and Johann, just as Yuji and his monsters arrive in the area. As they try and walk past the unconscious bodies of the Blue Moon cultists, one grabs hold of Surapacchi. Back to Steyl's side, he defends himself against the Blue Moon cultists, and after he does, Johann betrays him by constricting him in a magical rope and shocks him unconscious.

Awakening from his unconscious state, Steyl deduces that Walter had him lead Yuji to that location. Walter then discloses a couple of feats Yuji committed that foiled his cult's plot to purify the world, and Johann finishes the rest. Despite their past failures, Walter is confident they'll succeed and will ultimately achieve the world they strive for. On the other hand, Steyl doesn't fear his impending death and warns that the divine emissary will come and stop him once he's dead. Amused by Steyl's resolve, Walter reanimates his cultists' followers with the tainted light magic he used on them. Before Walter has Johann finish Steyl off, Yuji arrives at the scene, and although he wants to ask him a question, he realizes it wasn't an appropriate time.
