In the sunny Gerra-Aruka, a deceptive calm prevails for Lady Komari, who has emerged victorious from the War of the Purple Princes. Her thoughts linger on Sakuna Memoir, who has become an impressive leader of the 6th Unit—her triumphs and defeats in recent battles painting a picture of relentless struggle.
Amid this illusory tranquility, an invitation arrives from Nelia Cunningham, a renowned general of Gerra-Aruka. The cunning and ambitious Nelia extends an invitation to a tea party laced with political undertones—a veiled dance of diplomacy and power. Lady Komari, driven by her thirst for experience and the weight of her title, engages in what she suspects may be a trap, yet a necessary endeavor.
The tea gathering begins with an unexpected proposal from Nelia, who reveals her grand vision of world domination and seeks an alliance with Lady Komari. However, Lady Komari, remaining true to her pacifist ideals, firmly rejects the offer. Her understanding of power—as a tool for peace, not conquest—stands in stark contrast to Nelia’s ambitions.
As tensions simmer, a misunderstanding escalates into a clash between Lady Komari’s guards and Nelia’s troops, spiraling into an unintended conflict. Amid the turmoil, Karla Amatsu from the heavenly paradise extends an olive branch, proposing an alliance against their common enemy, Gerra-Aruka. Bound by their shared pacifist values, Karla and Lady Komari tentatively agree to unite their forces.
Yet the fragile alliance teeters on the brink when Lady Komari’s troops accidentally attack Nelia’s forces. In a dramatic confrontation, Lady Komari and Karla face off, each proving their strength. The tension eases as Lady Komari convinces Karla of her commitment to peace, solidifying their alliance.
The episode culminates with Nelia Cunningham’s relentless attempts to manipulate Lady Komari for her own grand designs.
