by Sakaku Hishikawa, Camilla L. (Translator), Daburyu (Illustrator)

With the Ashen Harvest neutralized, Zenos at last finds himself able to return to the slums. He and the gang decide to celebrate with some rest and relaxation via camping! Enjoying the fading warmth of early autumn, they swim in a nearby lake, dine on delicious soup, and in the dark of the night, gather around the campfire to tell ghost stories. But just as Carmilla finishes her tale about a mysterious being known as Galhamut—King of the Fell Dragons—a strange girl stumbles into their camp. She claims to be nothing more than a maid, but it quickly becomes obvious that she’s on the run. Begrudgingly, Zenos agrees to conceal her, even as he feels the situation around him taking a turn for the complicated once again.
Elsewhere in the Kingdom of Herzeth, a room at the top of a tall white tower lies empty, and the Royal Guard scurries around in a panic. Zenos has brought home someone they cannot afford to lose...
