Summary
Solomon calls Mira to the castle. He offers her to change clothes and then laughs at her, knowing that this isn't how usually Danblf dresses. Solomon explains that when you start the game, you join one of the three kingdoms, who aren't player created and can't be destroyed under normal circumstances. One day a massive horde of demons appeared and a war broke out between humans and demons. In the end, the humans won and since they were all busy rebuilding, to not engage in a war between themselves, the humans signed a signed a peace pact for 10 years, however the ban on war comes to an end in a year. Solomon then shows his friend list and Mira see that all Nine Wise Men are online, however they don't know where are they. Solomon then tasks Mira in finding as many Nine Wise Men as possible as they would be needed to protect the kingdom.

Wondering from where to start, Mira suggests Nebrapolis, guessing they may find Soul Howl as Nebrapolis catacombs was his paradise. Solomon recalls that Mirror of Darkness is located in Nebrapolis, a mirror that allows you to speak with the dead, so he agrees with Mira that Soul Howl may be there. As Mira needs to leave right away, Solomon arranges an adventure license. She ends up encountering a zombie, but its surprised to see one given they are nocturnal. After getting her license, Mira runs into a boy called Tact. Two more adventurers show up, saying that the after they denied Tact's request, he ran crying. Tact then asks Mira to take her to Nebrapolis, as he wants to speak with his parents in the mirror. Thinking its a subquest, Mira decides to accept. Thinking its too dangerous, the two adventurers Emella and Zef decide to join them. They meet again later, with Emella bringing more members of their Ecarlate Carillon guild - Asval and Flicker.

They reach Nebrapolis. Asval wonders if Mira's summoning is good, as he never fought with a summoner by his side. Emella comments that there aren't many summoners left, causing Mira to wonder what happened during her absence, but wants to prove herself. Seeing Emella's blade, Mira realizes its light spirit blade, which surprised them that she managed to recognize it. Stepping into the catacombs, Mira summons an armored spirit to protect Tact. Immediately after that, ghouls attack them, but the adventurers manage to defeat them. Turned off by the smell and recalling they will meet more monsters and even giant ghouls, Mira summons one of her valkyries, Alfina. As they need to reach the fifth level, Mira orders Alfina to clear all monsters up to the fifth level and Alfina goes and easily defeats all monsters. After Alfina is done, Mira unsummons her. The adventurers are surprised she managed to defeat all monsters that quickly, but as they don't see any more monsters and only dust left from them, they realize Alfina indeed defeated them all.

They reach the Mirror of Darkness and Mira tells Tact to go. He goes and calls for his father Ashley and mother Leene, however nothings happens and Tact guesses that they simply don't want to speak with him. Mira guesses the mirror may be just broken, but Zef steps up and calls Lyrica. The mirror then shines and a girl appears. Zef recalls his younger sister Lyrica, who was sick. He started adventuring in order to be able to pay for her medicine, but she ended up dying before he was able to come back. Looking at the mirror, Zef apologizes for being unable to save her and for not coming home sooner, but Lyrica tells him it wasn't his fault, and thanks him for working so hard for her. Mira then realizes that the NPC's are something more than before and have their own lives now. Mira then guesses that Tact's parents are still alive as the mirror didn't shown them. Emella explains that they were classified dead only because they are missing for five years and they don't have confirmation on their deaths. Hearing that, Tact gets happy.

Earlier, Solomon asked Mira to speak with an NPC demonologist Howard and see if she can get some info on the lesser demon from few days ago. You can only speak with the death if you had strong connection with them in life or have deeply meaningful memento. Mira takes out some holy water that Howard loved and spreads it around, calling Howard.
