Seiichi’s attempts to cheer up Artoria somehow come out as a proposal. While their relationship grows awkward, Seiichi and Saria pass their tests and successfully join the adventurer’s guild.

Meanwhile, a plot advances in the Kaiser Empire to enslave Kannazuki and the other students from another world and send them to Barbador Magic Academy.

After heading out into the royal capital Seiichi runs into all kinds of people, and taking their words to heart he finally makes up his mind to face Artoria.
I know you didn't give me this 
ring because you felt that way.
أعرف أنّك لم تعطني هذا الخاتم
لأنّك تشعر بذاك الشكل
Du hast mir den Ring nicht
mit diesen Gefühlen gegeben.
Sé que no me diste el anillo
porque sintieras algo por mí.
Sé que no me diste el anillo
porque sintieras algo por mí.
que tu m’as pas donné cette bague
parce que tu m’aimes…
So che non mi hai dato questo anello
perché provi quei sentimenti.
Sei que você não me deu este
anel porque sente algo por mim.
Я понимаю, что ты дал мне 
кольцо не из чувств.
