Summary
Elisha and Albert look over the peaceful kingdom hoping that something changed. Back in Van, Hakuya mentions to Liscia that Poncho is helping Serina give food to the locals. Liscia adds that Serina has fallen for Poncho's cooking. Aisha comes running up to Liscia mentioning that she can't find Souma. It turned out he was taking the day off with Tomoe and Juna.

The trio going out head into a shop run by Sebastian. Juna quickly introduces 'Kazuya.' As Kazuya is looking around, Sebastian asks a 'hypothetical' question about a war council. Souma gives an answer and asks who was interested. Sebastian says it's a sweet girl who's like a racoon. The trio leave with Souma buying a pair of shoes for Tomoe and a hairclip for Juna. Juna is embarrassed until Souma mentions he got presents for everyone. They look at how popular the market is with a broadcast station.

After going for some food, Tomoe falls asleep in Souma's lap. Juna mentions that 50,000 empire soldiers are headed their way which is less than Souma predicted. As the broadcast comes on, one woman is surprised by this out of the box idea. Juna notes that the woman is a skilled warrior but the woman knows about the spies Juna has around the king. The woman introduces herself as Jeanne Euphoria, sister of the leader of the Gran Chaos Empire.
