In the arena, all clan members, excluding those from the Horse clan, gather and retrieve their respective master's bodies. Within this tense scene, the Riders begin to attend to the wounded. Luka's injuries are tended to with the application of bandages, while Volk receives life-saving CPR and wound cleaning. Amidst this activity, Jarvis rushes into the arena, consumed by concern for his elder brother, Volk. With a determined urgency, he pushes the Riders aside, extending his hand to assess Volk's condition. Recognizing the severity of the wounds, Jarvis faces a grim reality: Volk's time is swiftly waning. In a passionate outcry, Jarvis seizes Volk's body and bolts from the arena, the Riders tailing him until he leaps off the ship.
Their pursuit leads them to observe Jarvis as he enters a magical door. Emerging from a different magic door, Jarvis enters Volk's wife's chamber. Ressa, upon witnessing the extent of Volk's fatal injuries, is met with a desperate plea from Jarvis to salvage his brother's life. Employing her string magic, Ressa deftly employs her powers to stitch Volk's wounds, channeling magic throughout his body. Turning his attention to the room, Jarvis encounters a sight of a young zombie boy, shackled and attempting to bite.
Back in the arena, the sight of Ragnar's lifeless body strikes Kiren with overwhelming devastation. Overwhelmed by emotions, Kiren articulates how he hadn't shared an extensive amount of time with Ragnar, yet he had been the closest semblance of a real family member he had left. A magical door manifests, and Jarvis emerges from it, offering a nod to Eleon. In response, Eleon announces Volk and Luka as the victors of the final match. Another magical door reappears, heralding the entrance of the Face machine, which promptly lights up and audibly expresses its amusement. The Face machine conjures three reward boxes through magical means before retreating back through the magic door that fades away.
With the announcement made, Eleon permits the Riders, the Horse clan, and the Bulls to claim their hard-earned rewards. Amidst this activity, Kiren finds himself picking up Ragnar's weighty spear. Megan, sensing Kiren's emotions, reaches out to him, reminding him that she remains a part of his family. Grateful for her understanding, Kiren nods, his emotions palpable, and walks away from the scene with the Bull clan. A short while later, the Bull clan gathers to hold a funeral for Ragnar. In the midst of this solemn occasion, Kiren approaches Mikey and Cain, making a request. He asks if they would consider reforging Ragnar's spear into a hammer and a shield, a personal tribute to his fallen comrade. Both Mikey and Cain agree with a nod, affirming their willingness to fulfill Kiren's wish. As Kiren wipes away his tears, the members of the Bull clan stand somberly, their gazes fixed upon Ragnar's gravestone.
In Old Berry Town, Ezzy and Mai engage in a conversation within Mai's room. Curious, Ezzy inquires about the origins of the world's demise in Old Berry Town. Responding to the query, Mai retrieves a multitude of papers, suggesting that there's a tale to share. However, Mai proposes a mutual exchange, urging Ezzy to recount her own story as well. Ezzy consents, and with that understanding, Mai commences the narrative, taking them back to the beginning with the introduction of a character named Nhia(28). This person finds themselves on a car ride in a limousine, en route to Old Berry Town.
Nhia reclines across the car seats, his chauffeur, Mr. Kaika(61), adorned with a Doberman emblem, informs him that they're nearing the destination, Old Berry Town. Pulling out a uniquely vibrant and comical phone, Nhia casts a glance at it before placing it on his chest. Speaking audibly, Nhia informs Mr. Kaika about his scheduled date with his girlfriend the next day in Old Berry Town, speculating that she might currently be aboard an airplane. Curious, Mr. Kaika inquires about how Nhia and his girlfriend initially connected. Nhia clarifies that they haven't met in person, having only communicated via phone calls. The driver notices Nhia's grip on the peculiar phone, prompting a nod of understanding as Mr. Kaika continues to affirm and engage in their conversation.
Upon reaching Old Berry Town, Nhia and Mr. Kaika disembark from the limousine. Nhia queries Mr. Kaika about the completion of the research he had requested. In response, Mr. Kaika produces an envelope containing documents, complete with images and information regarding Runica and Simbad. Mr. Kaika explains that both Runica and Simbad are now employed at the Robo Mall. With a plan in mind, Nhia suggests their first destination should be the mall. The two of them traverse Old Berry Town, eventually arriving at the Robo Mall. Nhia expresses that it has been a considerable amount of time since he last saw his friends. Quickly entering the mall, Nhia learns from Mr. Kaika that Simbad has taken on the role of a blacksmith, whereas Runica works as a janitor, making Simbad easier to locate.
As they stroll through the mall's various shops, they finally arrive at the Blacksmith shop. There, they spot Simbad engrossed in cleaning weapons, his gaze also meeting Nhia's. A heartwarming reunion unfolds between Simbad and Nhia. Playfully, Nhia remarks on Simbad's increased weight, to which Simbad chuckles and admits that he no longer engages in combat, leading to his more relaxed relationship with food. Simbad inquires about the well-being of everyone back in Nemura city, prompting Nhia to take a deep breath and provide a mixed update, mentioning that things are complex but generally fine. Nhia goes on to share that his father continues to struggle with alcoholism, relying heavily on Shawn, who has taken over most of his responsibilities. Nhia discloses his desire to attend a forthcoming meeting with the big three appointed by Shawn, but unexpectedly, he was dispatched to Old Berry Town on a confidential mission, details of which even Mr. Kaika isn't privy to.
Simbad acknowledges Shawn's perpetual busyness and suggests that Runica should be on break, suggesting a visit. However, Mr. Kaika interrupts, checking his watch and indicating that their classified mission has commenced, urging them to proceed to a specific location. Nhia offers his apologies and departs with Mr. Kaika. Arriving at the daycare area, Nhia and Mr. Kaika find themselves amidst paperwork. Nhia, curious about their presence there, inquires about the reason. Spotting Agustin and Angel engaged in conversation within the lobby, Nhia's attention is drawn to them. With a visible expression of astonishment, Agustin notices Nhia and proceeds to convey his recognition of Nhia as a prominent figure in Nemura city—Dober's son. Nhia respectfully acknowledges them with a bow. Subsequently, Nhia becomes the center of attention, with numerous shoppers congregating around him, requesting photographs. The situation escalates until security guards intervene, asserting space for Nhia. Among them, Stella, one of the security guards, stands out due to her assertiveness.
Mr. Kaika then discloses that Shawn dispatched Nhia here to undergo healing by a private, high-class healer. This bewilders Nhia, especially when Barbra emerges and introduces herself. Transitioning into a private room, Mr. Kaika elaborates on how the emotional toll of his mother's demise during the final civil war in Nemura city has impacted both Nhia and his father, Dober. Mr. Kaika further reveals Dober's leadership role in the city and how he's been grappling with the loss without external support. However, for Nhia, Shawn proposed a specialized healing process facilitated by a healer in Old Berry Town. Barbra reassures them that they have come to the right place, given her connection with Shawn.
Unbeknownst to Nhia, Mr. Kaika brings up an intriguing aspect of Nhia's life – an imaginary girlfriend that Nhia has conceived, including interactions through a toy phone. Nhia responds with a touch of annoyance, defending the authenticity of both the phone and the relationship, emphasizing how she was always there for him during his lowest moments. Barbra's attention is then drawn to Nhia's distinctive and humorous-looking phone. She asks for permission to examine it, and Nhia willingly hands it over. After inspecting the phone's peculiar design, Barbra asserts that it is indeed a toy phone, unlike any found in the three main cities. Noting its unique appearance, she speculates that it likely also doesn't originate from the Kingdom of Mako either.
Nhia quickly reclaims the phone, asserting his conviction that it's far from being a toy – it's the very device he's been using to communicate with his girlfriend. Barbra, intrigued, inquires whether Nhia can contact her right now. Regretfully, Nhia explains that it's impossible, given that she's currently en route to Old Berry Town on a plane and will only meet up with him tomorrow. Curious about the phone's origin, Barbra proceeds to ask how he acquired this peculiar device. Nhia pauses to reflect before recounting that he came into possession of the phone after the conclusion of the final civil war in Nemura city. He describes the profound grief he experienced over his mother's passing, to the extent that he contemplated ending his own life. In his darkest moment, he heard a voice within his mind, and suddenly, the phone manifested before him.
Barbra raises the possibility that Nhia's magic might have conjured the phone, prompting Nhia to examine his hands and confess that he doesn't possess any magical abilities. Undeterred, Barbra gently places her hand on Nhia's forehead, illuminating his skin with a brilliant magical glow. After withdrawing her hand, she reassures Nhia that there's nothing amiss. The revelation surprises Mr. Kaika, who realizes that Nhia's girlfriend is indeed real. Empowered by this validation, Nhia stands up with a sense of pride, asserting that his girlfriend will soon be in Old Berry Town, dispelling any lingering doubts.
Exiting the daycare, Nhia and Mr. Kaika emerge to find a throng of mall-goers clamoring for photos with Nhia. Amidst this, Nhia catches sight of Runica, who's diligently maneuvering a floor-cleaning washing machine. Approaching Runica, Nhia warmly greets him while Mr. Kaika ensures that the eager shoppers are kept at bay with the mall security. Runica's surprise at Nhia's presence is palpable, prompting Nhia to inquire about Runica's plans for the day. Runica responds, sharing that his shift is drawing to a close and extends an invitation to Nhia, suggesting they spend time together as Simbad has been preoccupied lately. Nhia readily accepts, and they proceed together, with Nhia joining Runica in the task of cleaning the mall floors.
Engaging in conversation, Runica proposes that Nhia call him "Rune," the name commonly used by everyone at the mall. Nhia readily agrees to the new nickname. As they reach the storage room, Rune tidies up his cleaning equipment. Reflecting, Nhia remarks that fourteen years ago, he could never have foreseen Rune taking on the role of a janitor. The remark seems to affect Rune, who becomes pensive and melancholic about the past. Nhia continues, observing that Rune spent most of his life training but abruptly transitioned to a normal life. Rune acknowledges that he ceased training since leaving Nemura city. Nhia empathizes, recognizing the reasons for Rune's departure from the path of combat – similar to Nhia's father, who battled depression and relinquished his fighting spirit. Nhia queries whether Rune still possesses his magical abilities. Rune, with a somber shake of his head, reveals that he lost his magical powers eight years ago. Nhia sympathetically understands, having heard about Rune's expedition stories from Shawn. Rune's silent nod denotes a hint of guilt.
Curious about Rune's weapon, Nhia prompts him to share its fate. Leading the way, Rune invites Nhia to come along with him if he wants to know what happened to his weapon. Along a lengthy corridor, they arrive at an office room where Rex, busy with paperwork, comes into view. Rex's surprise at Nhia's presence is evident as he remarks on the unexpected appearance of Dober's son at the Robo Mall. Shortly after Rex and Nhia conclude their discussion about Rune's journey to Old Berry Town to how he ended up with a janitorial role after offering his weapon. Nhia remarks that he's familiar with the stories surrounding the inception of the Robo Mall. Rex chuckles and implies that Nhia's father might have shared their past adventure tales. Nhia then queries whether the mall is truly built atop a colossal robot. Rex confirms the truth of it, revealing that he has spent the last eighteen years attempting to resurrect the giant robot using magical artifacts.
Understanding Rex's interest in Rune's weapon due to its magical properties, Nhia, Rex, and Rune proceed to another room adorned with whirring gears. In the center, Rune's Butcher blade weapon emits magical energy that powers the mall's electricity. Displaying a screen indicating 70 percent completion, Rex explains that Rune's weapon has significantly contributed to filling this bar to revive Robo Mall to its former glory. Nhia is captivated by the sight of the weapon and the intricate machinery in the room. Taking a moment, Rune gazes at his weapon, and Nhia, following suit, places his hand on it, closing his eyes to listen to a voice he hears emanating from it. Inquiring whether Rex and Rune can also hear this voice, Nhia receives negative responses. Nhia conveys that the weapon seems to be reaching out, desiring to be whole once more. Rune also touches his weapon, sharing a poignant connection with it. Nhia empathizes with Rune's past struggles to how far he has come.
Suddenly, Nhia notices a radiant gleam in his pocket. Retrieving his toy phone, he witnesses its transformation into magical particles that disperse throughout the room before entering Rune's weapon. Observing the screen displaying a mere 2 percent increase, Rex's disappointment is palpable. Distressed, Nhia laments the loss of the only means he had to communicate with his girlfriend, shedding tears. Rune apologizes for the unexpected turn of events, promising to get Nhia a new phone. Despite his tears, Nhia composes himself, acknowledging that it's all right since his girlfriend is set to meet him in Old Berry Town anyway.
