The astragali arc finally comes to a head as the Order of the Silver Phoenix dives back into the forest to rescue their captain! They will not find themselves uncontested, however, as the Rubel clan has detected their unwanted advances and are preparing drastic measures in response.
So will it be war? The Rubel clan is beset (partially unknowingly) by the other genoses, the newcomers from the west, and the goblins under their own aegis. The clan's response will likely cause one of the groups-or even all of them-to resist the Rubel clan's attempt to claim hegemony. And of course, this will only be further complicated by Ernie's participation.
Still, a lot is riding on Ernie's actions. Will he be able to reunite with his knight order? Will he ever get Ikaruga back or fix Kasasagi into a state fit for combat? And will he be able to navigate the situation to coordinate efforts between all sides, lest the Rubel clan divides and conquers its way to victory?

Ernie and the rest of the expedition have returned! Along with the shocking news they bring comes change-whether it be welcome or not. While the higher-ups of the Kingdom of Fremmevilla reel from the discovery of an entirely new humanoid race, the Order of the Silver Phoenix must go through what the king would call "creative restructuring."
However, many questions still remain. What will the kingdom do about their new, very large guests? Now that Ernie is back, what will he make next, especially with Ikaruga out of sorts, Kasasagi much worse for the wear given its construction, and Sylphianne still effectively destroyed? How will the new additions to what is now the "Order of the Silver Phoenix" affect all this?
But there is one matter a certain someone would consider most pressing of all: Now that they're back, Ernie and Addy's relationship is in limbo. They were "married" in the forest, but what about now? Ernie's number one fan must know!
