The episode begins with Lent, Tao, and Klaudia visiting Ryza to discuss a new task from Mr. Lubart. Upon arriving at their destination, Ryza is surprised to see Mr. Moritz and Agatha accompanying Mr. Lubart. The group is informed that their task is to clear an area filled with scrap—the remains of an old building—using Ryza's alchemical abilities. This task must be completed within ten days to prepare for the arrival of an important person.

Despite Agatha's skepticism about Ryza's abilities, Ryza assures her that she can complete the task in a week. She suggests using bombs to remove the debris, but Lent and Tao express concerns about the potential dangers. Searching for a solution, Ryza heads to Atelier Ryza. There, Empel gives her a book of advanced alchemy recipes, which inspires Ryza to develop a safer method for the cleanup.

Tao helps Ryza with the notes in Empel's house, while Lent and Klaudia train outside. After a lunch break and some bomb tests, Ryza explores the scrap site. During her visit, Agatha voices doubts about meeting the deadline. However, Mr. Pat intervenes and recounts instances where Ryza's alchemy solved various problems, strengthening Agatha's trust in her.

The next day, the villagers gather to witness Ryza's alchemy in action. Her plan proves successful and earns the admiration of the community. Mr. Lubart confirms that they have passed the second trial. Later, Bos appears unimpressed by Ryza's abilities, prompting Klaudia to speculate about her father's intentions behind the challenge. Agatha later approaches Ryza with a request to repair an ornament.

Romy spreads stories about Ryza's remarkable achievements, leading some villagers to wonder if she and her friends could address their concerns. This unsettles Samuel, Lent's father. In a brief conversation, Mio, Ryza's mother, and Samuel discuss their feelings about the praise their children are receiving. Later, at the harbor, Ryza returns the repaired ornament to Agatha, who explains its significance as a symbol of an Esquire, an unknighted noble.

Agatha shares her decision to renounce her knighthood to protect the island, disheartened by the behavior of other knights and longing for her island life. Ryza reflects on the allure of the royal capital, but Agatha emphasizes the evolving dynamic between Ryza and the villagers. The episode ends with Ryza's curiosity about the royal capital.
