Noelle and Finral go to visit Asta's sword instructor, Fanzell, in hopes that he'd know a way to fix Asta's arms. Fanzell's fiancee, Domina, tells them that the Queen of Witches in the Witches' Forest should be able to dispel ancient curses, so they go to visit her. They eventually get Asta as well as Mariella to tag along and Domina leads them to the forest. However an incident occurs and their infiltration soon gets found out. They manage to bust into the Queen of Witches's mansion, but she already had a prior guest. It was Vanessa, who also came from the Witches' Forest just like Domina...
