After being attacked by the Devil Banishers, Nero as well as Gauche’s younger sister, Marie, were kidnapped and Asta fell into a mysterious coma. Gauche thinks that maybe the head of the Magic Parliament, Damnatio, may have taken his sister, but Damnatio denies the claim. Damnatio’s innocence is proven by using Marx’s communication magic, but they learn that there’s a possibility that Damnatio’s subordinates are behind this incident. Meanwhile, Asta was taken to Owen’s clinic and it becomes apparent that the tracking device he had on his arm had disappeared. They then find its signal coming from somewhere rather unexpected.
The very few out of the population, 
those who live in the shadows...
...تلك القلة من بين السكان الذين يعيشون في الظلال
Eine absolute Minderheit.
No son la mayoría,
pero viven en las sombras.
No son la mayoría,
pero viven en las sombras.
Il s’agit d’une poignée d’habitants
Una minuscola frazione della popolazione.
Persone la cui vita nasce e si svolge nell'ombra.
Há uma parcela ínfima da
população que vive nas sombras.
Да, им присуща жизнь в тени,
и о них мало кто знает…
