AN OLD FRIEND RETURNS With a holiday called the Holy Light Festival fast approaching, the girls of the eighteenth platoon decide to host a haunted café in their dorm.

However, there’s no time to investigate, as he and the rest of the eighteenth platoon are sent on a mission with other students to eradicate a Void Hive that crops up in Necrozoa—the site where Riselia found Leonis. So many Voids appearing in such a conspicuous place…could this be connected to the Demon Swords and Leonis’s past?
