Episode 23 begins with Lawrence, Holo, and Elsa gathering around a campfire, joined by Sem and the villagers. A discussion begins about a poisoned shipment of wheat, known as Ridelius' Hellfire, which has already harmed a cobbler in Enberch Town. The villagers grow uneasy when they realize that returning the contaminated wheat would mean losing the money they received—money they no longer have. Suspicion arises, and Lawrence and Holo are accused of conspiring with Enberch. Sem intervenes, urging calm and suggesting that they seek repayment from Enberch instead.
To avoid further conflict, Sem offers Lawrence and Holo shelter in his home, where they discuss Enberch's possible schemes against Tereo. Lawrence suspects that Enberch aims to manipulate the situation to its advantage. Holo suggests asking Lawrence's merchant guild for help, but they must consider who might be held accountable for the consequences. Sem asks Lawrence for advice and money, promising safety in return. Lawrence agrees, revealing Enberch's plans to Sem and warning him of potential harm to Tereo's interests.
Later, Lawrence and Holo meet with Elsa, who is worried about Enberch's intentions. Lawrence reveals his and Holo's escape plan and asks Elsa for support. Elsa remains neutral but requests Lawrence to share his wisdom with her, while Holo retrieves a book hidden beneath the altar. Holo rushes to the church to read it alone, and Lawrence returns to Elsa, who faints from stress after discussing the precarious situation.
As tensions escalate, Lima suggests the group prepare to flee. The villagers arrive to capture them, prompting the group to regroup. Holo reveals her wolf form, creating a distraction that allows Lawrence, Holo, Elsa, and Evan to escape. The episode ends with the group fleeing Tereo through a newly discovered underground passage.
