Episode Title:
The Operation to Capture the Spear Hero
Episode Description:
Alongside Motoyasu's resurgence, the Queen also reveals that Ren's companions were all killed, and that Myne is still missing. In Seyatte, Naofumi meets an unfamiliar girl named S'yne, who Filo recognizes as being Murder Clown. She asks to join the village but he kicks her out, unable to trust her. Naofumi, Raphtalia, and Filo head out to the nearby city where they find a down-trodden Motoyasu attempting to reunite with his old party member Elena. Naofumi tries to talk with him but he escapes, so he questions Elena about what happened. She revealed they went to attack the Spirit Tortoise first, but upon realizing Motoyasu wasn't strong enough to defeat it, they abandoned him. At a nearby tavern, Naofumi encounters Ren, whose party members all died when they tried to fight the Tortoise; however, he refuses to take responsibility and blames them for being too weak. Naofumi tries to reason with him, but it is all upended by the sudden arrival of Myne, who easily manipulates Ren into believing Naofumi to be the cause of everything, as well as claiming Motoyasu assaulted her too. She also reveals to have somehow blocked the influence of her slave crest. Ren goes mad and starts wildly attacking Naofumi, before escaping with Myne. As a result of being painfully rejected by Myne, Motoyasu drowns into a depressive spiral, until seeing Filo dancing rejuvenates his spirits. Now completely obsessed with Filo, Motoyasu begs Naofumi for her, so they knock him out and leave.
