In Episode 25, Lawrence, Holo, Elsa, and Evan return to the church of Tereo through the underground passage leading to the hidden shrine. They learn that the residents of Enberch are pressuring the villagers of Tereo to burn their Truyeo statue and threaten to brand them as heretics if they refuse. Determined to defend her village, Elsa decides to stand up to the two groups.

Bishop Mendez of Enberch is furious that his town suffers under a curse despite following the true religion, while Tereo thrives by worshipping a fabricated god. Elsa challenges Mendez by claiming to have encountered a divine messenger and demands proof for her assertions. Meanwhile, Evan and Holo prepare a plan to demonstrate a "divine miracle."

Evan stands atop bags of flour from which wheat miraculously grows. This spectacle convinces Mendez, who declares Tereo’s church legitimate. To resolve the financial tensions, Lawrence suggests that Tereo sell the wheat under Mendez’s name so both towns can profit and hostilities cease.

The plan succeeds, as the cookies made from the wheat sell well in Enberch, allowing Tereo to settle its debts and turn a profit. Before their departure, Elsa reflects on Father Franz’s intentions, suspecting that he sought confirmation of God’s existence in the pagan deities. The villagers thank Lawrence and Holo for their help.

As Lawrence and Holo continue their journey to Lenos Town, they discuss their recent experiences and tease each other. The episode ends with a glimpse into the future, where Holo interacts with a child eager to hear more of her stories, hinting that their adventure is far from over.
