Another dancing party episode which means more fan service episode is nearby. While the fanservice is not the main focus on this anime, a sight of pretty girls in their party get-up, backless dress, and few scene of echiness is abound on this anime; including Cute Gramp's bouncing boobs due to Mini Rene's behavior. Ehem .. back to the main story, the first scene shows the audience that there is new Highlander's ambassador and he wants both Rani and Inglis to attend the inauguration party along with Mini Rene with them. In the similar situation with our two main heroines, Lisellote as the cancellour daughter also gets invited to the party so she asks Leone to accompany her along.

| Click baits??? they are plenty today 😂 |
During their time in town, Inglis and Rani Mets again with Eris and Lady Ripple while shopping for their inauguration dresses. The Hieral Menaces just finishes dealing with a magicite beast which suddenly appears in the city. One quick look is enough to know that Ripple doesn't seem so well as if she is losing her breath and pale facial expression. Eris tells the party that ever since Lady Ripple came back to the Royal capital, she has been feeling unwell and there are magicite beasts that appear from the sky. Lady Ripple has a mysterious smile on her face and while it's seem a bit too early to speculate, she may knows about what causes the beast appearance. Since Hieral Menace is an artifact weapon made by the highlanders, there is a possibility that the highlander themselves wants to create problem with the lower land citizens. Meanwhile Leone thinks that the Steelblood font may be the side responsible for the monster appearance.The story continues with Ripple giving some money from Rafael to Rani so they can buy their party dresses.
Before the party, they meet again with Rafael. Once again he got captivated with Inglis' beauty and become very embarrassed when mini Rene appears from her cleavage. It's funny to see Inglis' reaction because she doesn't feel comfortable having "another man" looking at her voluptuous asset *cough*. As usual the two main heroines got growling stomaches due to them had fewer lunch earlier in order to eat a lot at the party. Thankfully, Rafael is such a gentlemen since he acts as if he is the one with a growling stomach when they entered the party; saving both Inglis' and Rani's face. The party got cut short from the sudden appearance of magicite beast; raining from the sky through a dimensional gates that appear out of nowhere. Inglis wants to shoot the beast but Rafael covers her and kills the beast instead. While she acknowledges Rafael's sword skills, the only thing that comes from Inglis' head is not about how she adore his gallantry or amazing sword skill performances but about how she can fight with Rafael in full power; something that even Rafa himself would never even think in his wildest dream. Fighting his own cousin in a full power battle bordering to dead or alive situation.
Principle Miriela asks Rafael to head to Prince Wayne and the new ambassador place while she and the ladies stayed on the party room to defeat the remaining beasts. It's not very difficult to deal with those beasts though as Inglis right now can makes a spirit beam right from his pointy fingers. No matter how many beasts in the room, Inglis can shoot them down using not only one hand beam spamming but two hands. After killing all of the beasts in the lounge, they met up with Rafa, prince Wayne and the new Highland Ambassador; Theodore. Like what the audiences can guess, Eris witnesses as Lady Ripple fell unconscious and she is enveloped with a kind of ominous barrier around her body. The barrier itself summons the monsters to the room party. Theodore explains that there are two factions in Higland. One is the throne faction; a group of Highlander who share their technology and Hieral Menaces to the lower land citizens and the other is the altar faction; which is against about sharing their technology to the lower land citizens. Theodore assumes that the attack may come from the altar faction of Highlander; making a possibility for another group of opponent to our heroes.
How did the new ambassador knows so much about Inglis and Rani and how he wants to meet them personally will be revealed right away as he is actually Cyrene's biological brother. The kind hearted Nova's council who turns into an adorable little creature that they call Rene. Theodore wants to adopt his ex-sister and tries to get her back to human form. Nevertheless, little Rene gets her memories wiped out; forgetting her brother entirely and prefer the company of Inglis and Rani. About Theodore himself; as far as we see, he seems like a decent person as he (according to him) is Cyrene's brother. The fact that mini Rene doesn't want to be in his custody however makes me can't trust him one hundred percent. Even if she lost her memories, the sight of her older brother must be at least makes her familiar with him. Does he also holding an ulterior motive like Leon? who knows.
Ripple is awake and she remembers about what happens when she fell unconscious. She feels guilty because the beasts comes out from her and it makes her presence questioned by the other guards. Realizing that they were being used to create havoc in the land they were supposed to protect, Ripple and Eris had a brief shock and in disbelief. With the condition that Ripple can't no longer join the knight, it makes city guards weakened and can't use their power like they used to be. Therefore, Inglis suggests to Prince Wayne to let Ripple stays at the knight's academy and let's them protect her; making sure that the other knight can focus on their duty protecting the city. This episode makes a revelation about the other faction of Highlander; The Altar Faction, which makes one more problem for the main party after the Steelblood front. It is decent episode but the overused jokes about the heroines being hungry most of the times started to get repetitive. I hope we can see more excitement on the next episode.
