Chen Li waited aboard the Astral Express to ask Aha about a Miraculous Item, while Aha and A Kivili caused chaos trying to clean the party car. Aha finally requested anything, and Chen Li chose an Attribute Extractor that would draw out Aha’s attributes because Chen Li wanted more attributes related to Joy.

• Chen Li proposed an Attribute Extractor that could extract Aha’s attributes, explaining that he wanted more attributes related to Joy.

• Chen Li finished the Judgment Throne, a One-star Artifact that required its user to act on impulse and never miss any fun.

Chen Li bound Aha to a one-of-a-kind Miraculous Item that made him a judge with strict limits and a high chance of being drawn into New Penacony’s disputes. Aha agreed to help keep order during the Holy Grail War in exchange for Chen Li hiding the item’s details from A Kivili.

• Chen Li explained that the Golden Throne pendant could draw Aha into disputes, but its judgments required evidence and its rulings only compelled those who passed an appraisal.
• Aha discovered he could not discard the pendant and learned that failing an appraisal would strengthen him, while being killed could return the item to Chen Li.
• Chen Li revealed that the pendant was now highly likely to send Aha to New Penacony, where powerful Holy Grail War participants could challenge his judgments.
• Aha planned to keep the pendant until he and A Kivili could leave the Astral Express, then make A Kivili the scapegoat.
• Aha offered to help Chen Li maintain order in New Penacony if Chen Li concealed the pendant’s details from A Kivili.

Chen Li visited Gretel, discovered she had been taking book commissions, and began forging an auxiliary Miraculous Item for her. While he worked, Gretel hid an old, lengthy book from him and Little Gretel, leaving its contents concealed.

• Gretel asked Chen Li to carry her to the sofa and massage her numb legs, and he agreed after she offered him 200 Starstones.
• Chen Li learned Gretel had completed one commissioned book and was working on another, confiscated the unfinished book, and told her to return the payment.

Sparkle followed Firefly to Jade’s Pawnshop in New Penacony, where Firefly tried to trade away her unused Master qualification for money to fund a date. Jade cut off the deal before Firefly could state her wish, leaving Firefly confused about why her Command Spell was not acceptable collateral.

• Gretel worried that Chen Li might understand her color-coded doujinshi and decided to blame Sparkle for it.
• Sparkle searched the exhibition match Masters for entertainment, spotted Firefly, and followed her into Jade’s Pawnshop.
• Firefly asked Jade whether the pawnshop could fulfill any wish in exchange for collateral, and Jade warned her that the price could be cruel.
• Firefly revealed the Command Spell on her hand and prepared to pawn her Master qualification for dating funds.
• Jade abruptly stopped Firefly and ordered her shown out, leaving Firefly surprised that Jade had rejected the unused qualification.

Jade refused to handle Firefly’s Command Spell because she was committed to gambling everything on Jade’s Pawnshop in New Penacony. Sparkle’s Judge Space trapped the dispute’s participants, forcing Sparkle to reveal what she truly wanted.

• Jade explained that she had wagered Jade’s Pawnshop and its cornerstone on collecting rare items in New Penacony, and she would not risk interfering with the Holy Grail War by taking Firefly’s Command Spell.
• Sparkle appeared disguised as a female Intelligent Machine and accused Jade’s Pawnshop of exaggerated advertising, then declared that both Jade and Firefly were at fault and ordered them to try again.
• Sparkle sealed the area with her Judge Space and summoned Jade to serve her, but Sparkle could not state what she wanted.
• Judge Sparkle warned Sparkle not to lie and said she had to voice her true purpose or innermost desire, while some force compelled Sparkle to speak.

Sparkle disguised herself as an Intelligent Machine and asked Jade to help her force Chen Li to accept her, offering everything she had. Jade offered an Elation elixir but pulled it back before the deal was completed, warning that a transaction could not be reversed.

• Sparkle claimed she wanted power to make Chen Li take responsibility for their intimate history, and offered everything as payment.

• Jade offered Sparkle an Elation elixir, and Sparkle considered using it against Acheron to create an opportunity with Chen Li.
• Jade withdrew the elixir before Sparkle could take it and warned her that a completed transaction could not be undone.

Jade's attempted deal with Firefly failed because her Elation potion could not affect an Emanator, so Judge Sparkle imposed a third and final transaction with strict stakes. The Trailblazer then entered Jade's Pawnshop, caused a commotion, and asked Jade to revive A Kivili, offering her name as collateral.

• Jade learned that her Elation potion could not affect Firefly's chosen target, an Emanator, and the transaction failed.
• Judge Sparkle declared the third transaction would decide whether Jade owed Firefly spending money or Firefly owed Jade her Command Spell and compensation.
• The Trailblazer entered Jade's Pawnshop, rummaged through its belongings, and tried to negotiate over smashing a vase before Jade stopped her.
• The Trailblazer identified herself as Sparkle and asked Jade to revive A Kivili.
• The Trailblazer offered to use her name as collateral, invoking Sparkle's name.

Jade tried to use Pom-Pom’s severed tail as collateral to revive A Kivili, then decided to summon the Trailblaze Aeon through the Holy Grail War. The attempt made Jade a Master instead of Firefly, and the chapter ended with her starting the summoning ritual and getting no response.

• Jade described the creature whose tail she wanted as collateral, and the Trailblazer summoned a giant Pom-Pom to provide it.
• A Kivili cut off his own tail for the deal, prompting Jade to agree that she could accept it as a pledge.
• Jade asked Firefly to lend her the Command Spells so she could summon A Kivili, but the Master qualification transferred to Jade.
• Sparkle explained that the transfer had occurred because Firefly’s wish had already been fulfilled before she summoned a Servant.
• Jade placed her hand on the summoning circle drawn around Pom-Pom’s tail, but nothing happened.

Jade’s attempt to summon a useful Servant instead brought forth Taiyi, the Aeon of Order, whose power was immediately stopped by New Penacony’s laws and the Path of Voracity. Taiyi examined his unfamiliar Sunday-like body and the Sword of Order, while Jade realized whom she had summoned.

• Jade gave up on summoning A Kivili for Firefly and prepared to summon a compatible Servant for herself.
• Sparkle, Big Pom-Pom, the Trailblazer, and Referee Sparkle threw objects into the Summoning Circle, triggering a powerful summon that wrecked Jade’s Pawnshop.
• Taiyi appeared and tried to impose Order on New Penacony, but the world’s laws and the Path of Voracity stopped him, leaving his celestial ring damaged.
• Taiyi introduced himself to Jade, and she took charge by declaring herself his Master and saying she did not intend to enter the Holy Grail War.
• Taiyi studied his Sunday-like body, drew the Sword of Order from a golden book, and sent golden ripples through the pawnshop.

Jade’s summoned Taiyi fought Aha in New Penacony, where Aha’s Miraculous Item repeatedly protected him from Taiyi’s attacks. Chen Li arrived and realized Aha had summoned the Order Aeon through Sunday, leaving Taiyi face-to-face with the Miraculous Forger.

• Aha judged Taiyi for assaulting the judge and confined him, but Taiyi continued attacking while A Kivili briefly helped him land several blows on Aha’s decoy.
• Jade noticed Taiyi’s status was at 1% and used a Command Spell to restore him to peak condition.
• Taiyi pierced the real Aha with the Sword of Order, but Aha’s Golden Throne erased the control effect and cleared his negative statuses.
• Taiyi asked Aha where the Miraculous Forger was and began proposing a collaboration, but a golden blade shattered his sword.
• Chen Li emerged and explained that Aha had used Sunday as a Holy Relic to summon Taiyi into New Penacony as a pseudo-Servant.

Chen Li arrived as Taiyi, summoned through Sunday, proposed restoring order to the galaxy, but Chen Li challenged his rigid vision and drew him into a private discussion about creating a new order. Meanwhile, Aha revealed the Best Trailblazing rankings, prompting A Kivili to rush back to compete and leaving Jade to consider the Holy Grail War’s growing number of Aeons.

• Chen Li met Taiyi, who explained that he had seven days as a Servant and hoped to be forged into a Miraculous Item to rebuild galactic order.
• Chen Li argued that Taiyi’s absolute order would stifle civilization, then proposed killing malicious people to protect free will, unsettling Taiyi and the others.
• Chen Li pulled Taiyi aside to explain his plan for an order that stood above the world, and Taiyi eventually agreed to work with him.
• Aha showed A Kivili the Best Trailblazing rankings and teased him for being unable to compete while aboard the Astral Express.

• Jade noticed a blind spot involving Sparkle.

• Chen Li went looking for Firefly to discuss her Entropy Syndrome, then stuck the Destiny Drawing Board talisman on Sparkle and explained its fate-altering effects.

Chen Li helped Sparkle manage the luck consequences of a Destiny Drawing Board trap, then Jade summoned Taiyi, who restored and reorganized Jade's Pawnshop. Chen Li gave Jade a Wish Seed and judged her Sin Value positive, leaving open whether she would win their wager and what role she would play with the Miraculous Item.

• Chen Li explained that Sparkle could use Starstones to avert bad luck and exploit the recovery period, and Sparkle jokingly pounced on him before he agreed to give her 200 Starstones.
• Taiyi told Jade to open for business, restored Jade's Pawnshop, and imposed clear transactions and prices before asking her to play Robin's music.

• Chen Li examined Jade's Sin Value and told her it was positive, while Jade reflected that good and evil depended on a person's choices.

Jade wagered with Chen Li for a Miraculous Item, and he forged her a set of scales that revealed the value of anything offered for trade. Jade accepted it despite its unusual description and agreed to share half the profits it earned with Chen Li.

• Jade recounted how she had traded with people seeking youth, revenge, and wealth, prompting Chen Li to offer to forge her a Miraculous Item in exchange for her cornerstone and usage rights to her collectibles.
• Jade agreed to the wager, and Chen Li entered a private room with her cornerstone without asking what effects she wanted.
• Sparkle warned Jade that Herta and the Xianzhou Alliance had made far greater sacrifices to obtain Miraculous Items, but Jade chose to wait for Chen Li's creation.
• Chen Li gave Jade a One-star Artifact called Jade's Pawnshop, whose scales displayed the value of anything and allowed abstract things to be traded in binding transactions.
• Jade questioned why customers could see their own goods' values, then accepted the scales and promised Chen Li half the profits earned through them.
