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...
Sorry to say it when you just got here,
Tut mir zwar leid,
weil ihr schon da seid,
Lamento decirlo cuando acaban de llegar,
pero les dejaré los detalles a ustedes.
Lamento deciros estos recién llegados,
pero os dejo los detalles.
C’est sympa d’être venus,
mais c’est le patron que je veux voir.
Mi dispiace che vi siate scomodati,
Sinto por lhes dizer isso 
logo que chegaram,
Неудобно говорить сразу по прибытию,
но оставлю все детали задания на вас.
