Things are heating up in Liesentania! At long last, the Phoenix is over, and New Year's Eve approaches. For winter vacations, Julis invites Ayato to visit her home in Lieseltania. As the king throws lavish parades and parties in their honor, Ayato comes to understand Julis's concerns for her country. To make matters worse, the king insists that Ayato and Julis marry each other! After the ruckus at their welcome party, another visitor makes her appearance--the Witch of Solitary Venom. She sets her sights on the pair, and Julis seems to know more than she's letting on...

The traitor revealed! The one behind the recent "accidents" has finally been unmasked--but Julis alone isn't strong enough to beat him! It'll take a team of unlikely allies to bring this fiend to justice. Those in the shadows know this is only the first of many threats to come. Things will heat up even more as the Festa draws near...!

The best of the best are in one place! At long last, the main battles of the Lindvolus have begun!

Unfortunately, that's when Ayato makes contact with Le Wolfe's Tyrant, Dirk Eberwein, and learns more about his missing sister, Haruka. With newfound doubts and old insecurities clouding his mind and heart, will Ayato be ready for the next match? Or is his winning streak about to come to an end...?

"Remember this, Ayato Amagiri. You will ask me for my help, sooner or later..."Hilda, the infamous Magnum Opus, contacts Ayato and asks for his help in exchange for treating his sister, Haruka. When he refuses, she gives him an ominous warning...Meanwhile, at Seidoukan Academy, our heroes begin training for the upcoming Gryps, and Claudia pulls back the curtain on the Pan-Dora and her own intentions. With the arrival of spring, Ayato and the others advance into their second year and start preparing for the school fair-when Sylvia calls Ayato to demand he make good on his promise and take her on a date...!
