An encounter with a fraudulent egg seller leads to a confrontation, revealing Rietz's protective nature toward Ars. They continue their search while reflecting on the inequality between wealth and poverty in the city.

Toward the end of the episode, they meet Charlotte, a girl with exceptional magical abilities and leadership qualities, which they discover during a fight where she defends herself against her pursuers.

The episode ends with a sense of urgency as Charlotte faces danger, setting the stage for the next episode titled "Answer."
