The half of the mercenary army that had been blocking the road during the White Whale subjugation returns to join the main force. Subaru then leads the way into the forest of the Mathers domain, hoping to find and destroy the Witch's Cult before they can learn of the subjugating army's movements. 
Subaru and his companions head toward Roswaal's mansion to evacuate Emilia and all the others there, stopping at the nearby village on the way and beginning to evacuate its residents as well. However, the situation takes a turn that nobody expected...
Because the lord of the domain 
endorses a half-elf for our ruler!
!لأنّ سيّد هذا الإقليم يُؤيّد نصف العفريتة تلك على الحكم
Weil der Landesherr eine Halbelfe
im Wahlkampf unterstützt!
¡Porque el señor de estas tierras
apoya a esa medio elfa!
¡Porque el señor de estas tierras
apoya a esa medio elfa!
Parce que notre seigneur
a recommandé une demi-elfe !
Perché il signore di queste terre
supporta quella mezz'elfa!
Porque o líder deste local está apoiando
 aquela meio-elfa como governante!
Потому что его светлость
продвигает в правители полуэльфа!
