Summary
According to everyone's report, the royal family has left Van so Souma asks for government officials to come over from Parnam. There are also only weapons, armor and rations for food so Poncho is asked to sell the weapons for money and solve the food reserve issue. The Elfrieden Kingdom soldiers are allowed to relax with women and booze for a while. The Elfrieden army also isn't advancing any farther because Souma knows the Gran Chaos Empire will come. He also mentions he didn't sign the mankind declaration because there was a trap that was set up in the treaty. It was now time to clean up the aftermath before the empire reached them.

Over in the Gran Chaos Empire's capital city of Varoa, the queen, Maria is introduced. Her sister, Jeanne Euphoria, prepares to leave to meet the hero king. She notes it's unfortunate that the Principality of Amidonia is using them like this. The sisters talk about Souma and how he brought the Elfrieden Kingdom out of a sorry state. Jeanne believes Souma is different from her sister in so many ways but Maria is happy to get to know Souma.
