Chen Li, Pearl, and Little Herta used Origami University’s broadcast to summon Sparkle to the children’s lost-and-found, while Pearl discovered Little Icarus’s apple-feeding challenge.

• Silver Wolf found a Currency War arcade machine displaying a limited-edition Golden Honkai-Moe King plushie and began playing on the hardest difficulty.

• Hysilens confronted Hua Hua over unfinished anniversary work, then offered her the task of forming an idol group to perform at the opening ceremony.

• Pearl shared news that a Master had summoned the giant Machine Armor as a Servant, and she suspected the spectacle was meant to generate wish power.
• Pearl said she would not summon a Servant, hoping instead to use her Command Spells to strengthen herself and potentially revive Chen Li if he died.

• Sparkle eagerly accepted the risk, believing she could summon Fireworks using herself as a Holy Relic or rely on the two Servants Old Model had left her.
• Feiying spoke with Aha, who explained that he wanted Sparkle invested in the plan and revealed that he was one of Firework's Servants.

Aha told Feiying that A Kivili was his Emanator and that he had helped impose harsh contracts on Sparkle.

• Chen Li gained three Command Seals while forging an Artifact at Origami University, and Cyrene watched him while considering capturing him as a rare Pixie.

After defeating a livestreaming Master and Servant, Sparkle used her rule-addition privilege to expand the Counterfeit Holy Grail War across New Penacony. The Little Golden Honkai-Moe King accepted her plan to make eligible residents Masters who could capture one another as Servants, but it began to suspect something was wrong after putting the rules into effect.

• Sparkle and Iron Tomb defeated a Master who had livestreamed the Counterfeit Holy Grail War, fulfilling a hidden condition for Sparkle to add a rule.
• The Little Golden Honkai-Moe King explained that Sparkle could add a rule but could not directly dictate the war’s outcome, and it rejected her proposals to qualify everyone as Masters, grant extra Heroic Spirits, or select a specific participant.

• Back in the present, the Little Golden Honkai-Moe King felt it had suffered a major loss but could not work out how.

Sparkle manipulated Little Golden Honkai-Moe King into changing the Holy Grail War rules to make New Penacony a ruthless arena, then fled before he realized her intentions. Meanwhile, Chen Li finished the Dreamweaving Loom, an Artifact that turned stories and Bond Artifacts into powerful transformable clothing, though its design strayed far from Habet-nyan’s wedding-dress request.

• Sparkle convinced Little Golden Honkai-Moe King that his new Master rules were reasonable, then escaped with Iron Tomb after revealing she had engineered the changes to make Masters capture one another.

Chen Li fled Cyrene’s attempt to capture him with a Command Spell Poké Ball, while more powerful figures joined the chase across Origami University. With the crowd starting to join in, Chen Li silently called for Pearl, who sensed his voice and invited him to her side.

• Chen Li recognized Cyrene’s Poké Ball as a Servant Ball and backed away as she tried to capture him and persuade him to leave the game with her.
• Chen Li realized Cyrene had gained 20% influence weight, giving her a chance to capture him through a Counterfeit Holy Grail bug, and ran from her.
• Cyrene pursued Chen Li through Origami University as Silver Wolf, Krydrla, Cipher, Screwllum, Ritsuka Fujimaru, Aglaea, Robin, and others joined the chase.
• Onlookers began to suspect the Golden Honkai-Moe King was an exceptionally rare Servant-type Master and considered trying to capture him themselves.
• Chen Li decided to call for Pearl, and Pearl heard his faint appeal and asked him to come to her side.

Chen Li escaped the Trainers pursuing him by teleporting to Pearl, who offered to become his Servant so Poké Balls could no longer capture him. He misunderstood her intentions and changed into the Golden Honkai-Moe King costume with her, leaving a decoy to fool the crowd.

• Chen Li teleported to Pearl and explained that Trainers were chasing him because he was a shiny Golden Honkai-Moe King.
• Pearl showed Chen Li her Command Seals and proposed becoming his Master, which would protect him from capture attempts.
• Chen Li mistook Pearl's proposal for a plan to swap costumes and persuaded her to wear his Golden Honkai-Moe King outfit.
• Dozens of Trainers cornered the costumed figure in an alley and threw Poké Balls at it.
• A Poké Ball bounced off the figure, and the thrower learned that a Servant with a Master could not be captured.
• The crowd realized the costumed figure was only pretending to be afraid and saw its mocking expression.

Pearl and Chen Li used a disguise and a Command Spell to fool the Masters hunting the Golden Honkai-Moe King, then escaped to an unused classroom at Origami University. Pearl agreed to keep serving as Chen Li’s strategist through the Holy Grail War, but warned him she would make him understand the weight of promising to bear another person’s life.

• Pearl used a Command Spell to recall the Golden Honkai-Moe King, revealing herself as its Master while Chen Li disguised himself as her.
• The frustrated Masters realized they could capture one another and erupted into a chaotic fight with Poké Balls.
• In an unused classroom, Chen Li and Pearl revealed how they had switched appearances to make the Golden Honkai-Moe King seem like Pearl’s Servant.
• Chen Li explained his plan to trick future challengers into focusing on a fake Servant so Pearl could capture the opposing Master.
• Pearl agreed to serve as Chen Li’s strategist until the Holy Grail War ended, then seized his wrist and vowed to teach him the weight of his promises.

Chen Li, Pearl, and Feiying discussed Feiying’s lost Story Experience Card and Sparkle’s Master qualification while Pearl urged Chen Li to withdraw amid the escalating conflict between Sparkle and Firework. Sparkle then burst into the classroom, convinced all three had deceived her, and confronted them in fury.

• Pearl made Chen Li promise not to use his cute way of begging on others, and Feiying climbed through the classroom window after overhearing their conversation.
• Feiying asked about her lost Story Experience Card, and Pearl realized she had picked it up and that it was a byproduct of a Miraculous.
• Feiying revealed that Aha was Sparkle’s Servant and explained the costly conditions attached to Sparkle’s paid Master qualification.

Sparkle’s tracking scheme was exposed, and Pearl and Chen Li accepted Feiying as an ally on the condition that she stay away from Chen Li. The group decided to leave Origami University, though Pearl remained puzzled by Chen Li’s choices.

• Pearl revealed that Sparkle had tracked the group, and Scott’s recording exposed how Aventurine and Jade had removed Sparkle’s mask from him.
• Sparkle fled after Pearl warned her to leave, and Feiying chose to remain allied with Pearl and Chen Li.
• Pearl agreed to continue the alliance on the condition that Feiying stay away from Chen Li, and Feiying reluctantly released his arm.
• Chen Li decided the group should leave Origami University, surprising Pearl, who had expected him to want to stay.
