In Episode 24, Lawrence, Holo, Evan, and Elsa navigate through the secret underground exit of the village of Tereo. Fearful of being discovered and running into a dead end, they proceed cautiously. When they reach a cliff near Evan's house, they realize that the underground passage is a hibernation den of Lord Truyeo. After Elsa shares some information about the area, Holo suggests heading to the river.

In the forest, Holo insists that they first go to Enberch Town to assess the situation. She warns Elsa and Evan to turn away as she transforms into her wolf form, threatening to devour them if they show fear. The group leaves the forest and takes a break halfway. Lawrence hears noises in the distance and spots Enberch's troops accompanied by a high-ranking clergyman. Evan urges Holo to eliminate the troops, but Lawrence advises against it, suggesting they avoid a direct confrontation and instead devise a strategy.

When he returns to the others, Lawrence proposes that they continue on and find a place to eat. Along the way, Elsa asks Holo if she is a god. Holo replies that humans have treated her like a god due to her deeds for humanity. Elsa decides to preserve Father Franz's legacy and return to the village of Tereo to fulfill her duty. Evan disagrees with Elsa's decision, but Lawrence offers him advice and conveys Elsa's expectations of him.

After Evan leaves, Holo confronts Lawrence about his actions and doubts. Lawrence reassures her, tells her about the moon-hunting bear, and admits that Holo might have returned home if she had known the bear had stayed in Yoitsu. They discuss how to help Elsa, Evan, and the villagers of Tereo.

Lawrence reminds Holo of her ability to perform miracles and gives her wheat kernels to demonstrate this power. They meet with Elsa and Evan to devise a plan for Holo's miracle. Elsa outlines how they can present the miracle to the villagers, and Holo agrees, even if it means her status will be subordinate to Tereo's god. Lawrence commits to handling the money negotiations. As Holo senses the approach of Enberch's troops, the episode ends with Elsa's prayer.
