Ryuji had been teleported to the apartment by Majin's own magical ability. He lay unconscious on the floor, while Akudama approached the scene and noticed him. In a panic, Akudama began shouting, "Ryuji! Ryuji! Ryuji!!!" Meanwhile, Doremi rushed over to where Akudama was and was taken aback by what she saw in his eyes. She quickly lifted Ryuji off the ground and turned to Akudama, saying, "I'll put him in a bed and bandage him up. The bandages are by the cover in my room. Could you get them for me, Sir Akudama?" Akudama nodded and hurried towards Doremi's room to retrieve the bandages. In his own thoughts, he wondered, "Who could have done this, and why?

Majin found himself in a dimension accessed through a wormhole. As he walked through the dimension, he marveled at a small time full nature of the place, with a moon and countless distant superstars and galaxies. Majin commented, "This dimension never ages at all." Suddenly, a strange entity named Bakujin appeared before him. Majin turned around and greeted him, saying, "Hi there, Sir Bakujin." Bakujin waved back and replied, "Oh hey there, Sir Majin. I see you're drawn to the creation of my own dimension." Majin looked up at the breathtaking scenery and remarked, "Your dimension is very bizarre." They stood on beautiful red grass as the night sky illuminated with an abundance of superstars and galaxies. Bakujin, wearing a black kimono with brown spiky hair, dark red eyes, and a black eye patch on the left, stood at a height of 168 centimeters. Bakujin began to speak, "Yep, it sure is a beautiful new universe that I have created." Majin, with a disgusted expression, turned to face Bakujin, who seemed puzzled. Majin said, "You still call this a 'new universe' even though you've been sitting here for fifteen thousand years." Bakujin maintained a straight face and responded, "Well, yeah, it is a new universe. I mean, I'm pretty sure there's currently no other universe that can be newer than this one." Majin simply nodded, taking a deep breath.

Bakujin sat down on the red grass and invited Majin to join him. Initially confused, Majin eventually complied and sat down as well. Bakujin turned to Majin and asked, "What's troubling you? Is it the lowlives who are causing you harm?" Majin, with an angry expression, responded, "No, no lowly weak human is causing me any harm or making me worried. It's just that I've encountered someone with unbelievably great potential, much like mine." Bakujin stood up and said, "Are you serious?" Majin looked up at him, nodded, and replied, "Yes, I'm serious." Bakujin sat back down and suggested, "Well, if you want me to kill him, just ask." Majin retorted, "No, it's fine. I've already taken care of that guy." Bakujin sighed and said, "Good grief, then you have nothing to worry about." Majin whispered in anger, "I'm not worried, like I said before." He looked at the countless bright giants in the sky and asked Bakujin, "Do you think I can achieve the power of Lance?" Bakujin's face showed concern as he slowly responded, "Well, yeah, it's possible, but it doesn't seem likely since you would have to surpass those powerful angels from the higher universes. I'm not sure, but considering your immense potential, you probably could." Majin's expression turned serious, and he lifted his hand, saying, "Well, I just need to create a new story, just like this dimension you created." Bakujin, with an upset face, corrected him, "It's a new universe, not just a dimension." Majin sighed and replied, "Good grief, I know that, you small-headed ball." Bakujin, now angry, retorted, "Well, you're a big-headed ball." Majin's anger briefly surfaced but then he regained his composure and said, "I will achieve it, though."

Kazue was plagued by the fear of encountering evil foes during her travels across different dimensions. Takara, noticing Kazue's distress, reached out and touched her shoulder, causing Kazue to panic momentarily. However, she soon realized it was just Takara and calmed down. Takara suggested that they quit their mission to prioritize Kazue's mental health, but Kazue, determined, stated that they should continue with their mission for the time being. Takara sighed and placed her hand on her own head, remarking, "Good grief, it seems there's nothing that can stop you, even if you try." Kazue smiled and expressed gratitude to Takara for checking up on her. Takara returned the smile and said, "No problem." The Kaminko group was now only a few miles away from the city of Nozomay.

One hour and twenty-two minutes after his fight with Majin, Ryūji regained consciousness and found himself lying on a bed. He placed his hand on his head and muttered, "I need to become stronger, stronger, stronger, and stronger!" Akudama entered the room and whispered, "You're finally awake." Ryūji smiled and greeted him, saying, "Oh hey, Mast— I mean Akudama..." Akudama walked up to Ryūji, hugged him tightly, and said, "Thank God you're fine." At that moment, Doremi opened the door wider, her eyes filled with tears. She ran up to Ryūji and Akudama, crying, and exclaimed, "Thank goodness you're okay, Ryūji-kun! You shouldn't have to let me go out there and help you, but you were just a big idiot to fight that evil guy. You made me feel so powerless." Ryūji gave them both a warm smile, hugged them tightly, and reassured them, "Well, the most important thing is that you guys are okay. That's all that matters." They continued to cry together, finding solace in each other's arms.

[Harem Nightmare!!!]

As Holy Knight Majin approached Ryūji and demanded, "Do you possess my true almighty power?" Ryūji, filled with anger, swiftly got up and delivered a punch to Holy Knight Majin's face. Holy Knight Majin turned around, visibly startled, while Ryūji retorted, "Like I would ever tell you, you lowly goon..." Holy Knight Majin's expression transformed into one of terror as he muttered, "I suppose you have witnessed your true despair of horror."
