Cui Ciyou and the women of his household dealt with a flood of Beastfolk challengers during mating season, while Roxy explained why the school could not simply ban the duels. Cui Ciyou proposed bringing Alice to campus to fight the challengers in one organized dueling ring, and Roxy and Sylphy approved.

• Badigadi recognized Cui Ciyou as someone he had heard about from his fiancée, Kishirika Kishirisu.

• Badigadi declared Cui Ciyou one of the Seven Great Powers, and Ranoa University’s leaders later held a reception while asking him to stay home pending further decisions.
• Cui Ciyou returned home and wondered whether he had received the title because he defeated North God III, Kalman III.

Badigadi explained that he had come to meet Cui Ciyou because the Seven Great Powers monument had replaced the North God’s name with “Nullifier,” and he later left Ranoa after reaching an agreement with the Three Great Principalities. After Linia and Pursena thanked Cui Ciyou for protecting them, they learned he had once rescued them as children and angrily asked why he had beaten them without mentioning it.

• Badigadi told Cui Ciyou that the Seven Great Powers monument had replaced the North God’s name with “Nullifier,” prompting him to seek Cui out.

Cui Ciyou and Roxy visited Nanahoshi Shizuka’s isolated laboratory, where Cui Ciyou spoke with her in Mandarin and Japanese about their origins and her summoning. He concluded that the ritual that brought Nanahoshi to the world had consumed at least God-level magic power, while Roxy grew frustrated at being unable to understand them.

• Cui Ciyou and Roxy went to the Research Building and found Nanahoshi Shizuka in her sealed, cluttered laboratory.

• Nanahoshi demanded to know who had summoned her, but Cui Ciyou said he did not know and that the ritual had dragged him into the world too.
• Cui Ciyou reasoned that the summoning had consumed at least God-level magic power, and Nanahoshi responded that she must be impressive.
• Roxy interrupted them and complained that she could not understand the languages they were speaking.

Cui Ciyou learned that Nanahoshi Shizuka had arrived in this world after a traffic accident and traveled with the Dragon God Orsted for over three years.

• Nanahoshi explained that she had no interest in advancing the world and wanted only to return to her original home.
• Cui Ciyou proposed that Nanahoshi and he collaborate on research into returning home and combining summoning with displacement.

Cui Ciyou and Roxy learned how Nanahoshi Shizuka had built a fortune with Orsted’s protection and devoted her resources to researching a way home. After Cui revealed that he had visited Teleportation Magic circle ruins, Nanahoshi explained why she chose Summoning Magic and refused to share knowledge beyond what her research required.

• Nanahoshi recounted how she had mastered the local language and built a powerful business with Orsted’s backing, while Cui considered her unusually fortunate and capable.
• Nanahoshi assured Cui that Orsted would not have listened to an explanation about the Human God, easing Cui’s guilt over the fight that endangered his teammates.
• Nanahoshi showed Cui an ancient map, and he marked the ruins where he had found Teleportation Magic circles, matching her map’s red markings.
• Cui asked why Nanahoshi researched Summoning Magic, and she explained that Orsted had suggested she might have been summoned and introduced her to Perugius, who could neither bring her home nor summon someone from another world.
• Nanahoshi established herself at Ranoa University of Magic, funded reforms, and earned A-Rank Magic Guild status while refusing an offer of S-Rank membership and declining to share knowledge she did not need.

Nanahoshi Shizuka explained how Magic Circles let her use magic despite having no magic power, and discussed why the ancient technique had fallen out of use. She revealed that she believed she had caused the Displacement Incident, while Cui Ciyou admitted he could not return to his original world alone.

• Cui Ciyou and Nanahoshi Shizuka agreed that they both had zero magic power and bodies that did not seem to age, though Cui Ciyou could use mental power to control Magic Crystals.
• Nanahoshi Shizuka explained that she used Magic Circles as external magic organs, demonstrating how she ground a Magic Crystal into powder to make their paint.
• Nanahoshi Shizuka and Roxy described how Magic Circles were costly, inconvenient, and largely replaced by incantations, though a few ancient circles could operate indefinitely.
• Nanahoshi Shizuka said she hated the world and wanted to return to her family and friends, while Cui Ciyou said he could not go back alone.
• Nanahoshi Shizuka said she thought she had caused the Displacement Incident, recalling that Orsted had called it unprecedented.

Cui Ciyou read Nanahoshi Shizuka’s cautionary book about summoning magic, then received a letter inviting him to meet Zoldat in Sharia. At the Adventurers’ Guild, Zoldat gave him a powerful enchanted dagger as a belated wedding gift and joked that he would gladly serve Cui if he joined Stepped Leader.

• Cui Ciyou read Higg's Summoning Magic and understood Nanahoshi Shizuka had given it to warn him about the dangers of summoning powerful creatures.
• Winter arrived in Sharia, and Cui Ciyou received a letter from Zoldat Heckler inviting him to the Adventurers' Guild for a drink.
• Cui Ciyou told his household about the invitation, but everyone was busy or declined, so he went to meet Zoldat alone.
• Zoldat greeted Cui Ciyou, teased him about his three wives, and gave him an enchanted dagger that grew stronger against stronger opponents as a belated wedding gift.
• Cui Ciyou mocked the appearance of a rookie adventurer, making Zoldat and his companions laugh, and Zoldat said he would serve Cui if he joined Stepped Leader.

Cui Ciyou reluctantly agreed to drink with Zoldat at a venue where women would serve them, after refusing his invitation to visit a brothel. Zoldat consulted an interracial brothel review guide and found a newly opened establishment, leaving Cui Ciyou wondering how their evening had turned into a research expedition.

• Zoldat asked whether Alice and Sylphy had come with Cui Ciyou, then invited him to a brothel after learning they were absent.
• Cui Ciyou reminded Zoldat of how Alice and Sylphy had punished him before, and warned him that another wife could also find out.
• Zoldat argued that adventurers preferred brothels to relationships, and Cui Ciyou refused to go with him.
• Cui Ciyou agreed to have drinks with Zoldat somewhere women would pour for them, but declined Zoldat's offer to pay for an overnight visit.
• Zoldat produced an Interracial Customs Guide, described its six adventurer reviewers, and found a newly opened brothel in the east of town.

Cui Ciyou learned from Zoldat that other races often preferred Humanfolk partners because Elves in the trade were centuries old despite their youthful looks. They reached the highly rated Elf establishment called Elf's Redemption, where Zoldat opened the door and urged Cui Ciyou inside.

• Zoldat explained that nonhuman races tended to choose a fifty-year-old Humanfolk woman over an apparently youthful Elf because many Elves in the trade were hundreds of years old.
• Zoldat described differences in how races perceived vitality and outlined physical traits that mattered in interracial relationships.
• Cui Ciyou and Zoldat followed the guide's reviews through town to a quiet alley.
• Cui Ciyou saw the elegant Elf establishment Elf's Redemption and learned about Elves' appearance and long lifespans.
• Zoldat opened the establishment's door and invited Cui Ciyou inside.

After leaving Zoldat at Elf's Redemption, Cui Ciyou walked through Sharia's snowy square and considered browsing its stalls for magical trinkets. He reviewed how Magic Items differed from magic-imbued objects, then examined a cheap Volcanic Stone that could produce a tiny flame.

• Zoldat, drunk and pleased with the evening, invited Cui Ciyou to stay overnight, but Cui Ciyou declined and headed home.
• Cui Ciyou smelled grilled meat in the town square and reminisced about the skewered lamb barbecue he missed from his previous life.
• Cui Ciyou decided to browse the market stalls for magical trinkets and thought about how the women at home would react to fake mice and cockroaches.
• Cui Ciyou recalled that Magic Items used the user's magic power and incantations, while magic-imbued objects had limited daily uses but required neither.
• Cui Ciyou examined a cheap Volcanic Stone, which produced a tiny flame when commanded to ignite, and set it back on the stall.

Cui Ciyou returned home after drinking with Zoldat and visiting an elf establishment, where his wives confronted him over a scented card from an elf named Collier. He tried to explain himself, but Alice, Roxy, and Sylphy each focused on different parts of his story, leaving him facing Sylphy’s unsettling question about his fondness for elves.

• Cui Ciyou encountered Luke Notus Greyrat shopping with two women and exchanged polite greetings.
• Cui Ciyou returned to his Mansion and found Alice, Roxy, Sylphy, and several spectators waiting in silence.
• Sylphy noticed an unfamiliar scent on Cui Ciyou, and Roxy asked whether he had enjoyed his time with his friend.

• Cui Ciyou claimed that Zoldat had taken him to an elf establishment for drinks and that he had done nothing else.
