Overly enthusiastic about her first tournament match, Nanael swiftly attacks Airi, boasting how she will make quick work of her opponent. Trying to reason with Nanael to alert her of the real danger being queen Aldra, the ghostly maid’s efforts to persuade the cheeky angel seem futile.

Clashing blades, Nanael notices too late that flying around and dodging the slashes of Airi’s scythe have caused her to spill most of the holy milk from her vial, which drains her power level fast.

Soon forced to hold onto her sword with both hands instead of being able to make it fly on its own, Nanael realizes she has no choice but to quickly end the battle, lest she lose what power she has left in a prolonged fight.

Asking the queen why they’re forced to have their match there, Cattleya only gets a cryptic response from Aldra that all soon will be clear to her.

Although Airi ponders what she’s to do with her real target -the queen- being this close, she decides to fight Cattleya first and berates the blacksmith for bringing Rana along, for her child is surely only to be excess baggage to her.

When Cattleya tells Rana to hang on tight and attacks Airi with her spear, the ghostly maid becomes angry, feeling the blacksmith is taking her lightly. That momentary distraction causes Airi to lower her guard and she soon discovers that Cattleya is a powerful opponent nonetheless.

Driven back by Cattleya’s attacks, Airi launches her own counterattack. Noticing her strike would hit Rana first, the ghostly made stops her scythe and berates Cattleya for using her own child as a shield.
