Synopsis
Still on Soul Howl's trail, Mira comes across a fort that could use some help fighting monsters.

Summary
Amaratte notices that Mira isn't wearing underwear and asks her why. Mira explains she couldn't understand how to put the underwear on. Amaratte then prepares to remove hers to show it. Mariana also shows up and wishes to teach Mira as well. However, Mira panics and runs away, pretending that Solomon called her.

Mira uses Pegasus to fly around. She wished to summon Aizenfald, but Solomon warned her that he draws too much attention. Earlier, Solomon tells Mira that they used the information she got from the Fool the Wunderkammer and figured the location of her next adventure, the Child of Prayer Forest. She wonders how that relates to Soul Howl and Solomon explains the material that makes the base of the Holy Grail he sees, is there, a root of a sacred tree that's over three thousand years old. While Soul Howl is unlikely there anymore, Mira may find some new traces of him. Additionally, the Primal Forest is near the Child of Prayer Forest, and they have a top-secret weapon in development and need a material from Primal Forest. Solomon tells her there is a fort near the forest and she can rest there if she feels tired.

Mira starts to see the large tree in the Child of Prayer Forest. Pegasus then knocks out a Blizzard Eagle, making Mira wonder why a monster that usually lives in the north is so down south. Several hours pass and Mira is still too far from the tree, but as she notices the fort that Solomon mentioned, she decides to rest there. The fort isn't in good shape and people are trying to repair it. Ratri wonder if Mira is reinforcements, and explain that two weeks ago monsters usual from the area started attacking it. However, one of the monsters is special and call monster packs with it and attacks each night. The fort has many injured and they can't just leave them. Mira is asked to take one of the injured ones to nearby Healers Union as she could fly. Mira agrees, but wishes to see the injured first, Melissa, an young woman who played as decoy to save others from the monsters. Dolan used a recovery potion on Melissa, but it had no effect. Looking at her, Mira figures she is suffering from maso poison, a poison that reduces the effect of all recovery, from natural healing to medicines, however the poison shouldn't exist in this continent. Knowing the cause, Mira states its no issue from this point and summons a white snake, stating its great doctor. The snake then crawls over Melissa and bites her. Moments later, Melissa starts to look better and wakes up, which makes Ratri happy. Dolan recognizes the snake as the sacred white snake, Asclepius, and realizes that Mira is a high-level summoner.

Mira then wonders about the whereabouts of the monster and Ratri explains it should be in the surrounding forest. Dolan and some men decide to join Mira, as they figure she intends to fight it. Other men, wish to evacuate as even a gaze of the monster causes serious injuries and direct his is instant death, and they can't with even if they have a healer. Dolan states that evocation magic is much more than a healer and Mira agrees. Ratri decides to join as well due to Mira saving Melissa. Mira showcases her knight and states he specializes in defense and it will be up to them to defeat the monster. Little by little, the men get inspired and decide to fight.

They form a plan and leave to fight the monster. As they approach it, Mira remains to take care of it, while the rest take positions. Seeing the monster, Mira recognizes it as a tyrant spikeback. Mira defeats the small fry, while the white knights keeps the main monster busy. As the men take positions, Mira leads the monsters to an ambush. They start fighting the monsters, while multiple white knights protect everyone from the tyrant spikeback. Eventually after pinning the monsters legs and the white knights holding its arm, Ratri comes in to stab it in the neck and defeats it. The men start to respect the evocation magic and find it quite strong. At a celebration party, Mira speaks with Tomoki, and thanks him for inspiring the men to fight. She figures he is a former player and Tomoki confirms, but he is crafting specialist and is unable to fight. Mira asks him about the monsters appearing in different areas than their own and Tomoki states its should be due to human intervention.

The next day, Mira reaches the Elder tree and wishes to speak with him. As the Elder appear, Mira asks him if someone looking for his roots came earlier. Other Elders appear who states they remember the man, explaining he had black hair and wore a white mask. He also wanted to make a goblet and needed some black thing. Mira asks if they know something about the new monsters appearing in the area and while they don't know the details the Elders state they sense something warped to the east. As thanks, Mira offers some human sweets. The Elders are happy, but state they would have accepted Mira to fertilize the land by going to the toilet, as they can sense Mira's magical power. Mira is happy she brought sweets as otherwise she may have been forced to expose herself. However, Mira feels the need to pee and the Elders reading her mind tell her to not hold herself and go and do it, but Mira panics and doesn't wish to do it.
