Vol. 2Eden and Its Return
Qian Huanyue’s bonds with Shiori and Rinne were tested as Rinne created and ruled a false paradise, but Huanyue rescued her and brought her back to reality. The group began a school trip, where Shiori and the others targeted Ellen while Huanyue pursued a secret plan of her own.
- Qian Huanyue rescued Nia Honjo from DEM, reunited Mana Takamiya with Shiori Itsuka, and healed Shiori when a Spiritual Power backlash nearly killed her.
- Qian Huanyue and Shiori grew closer through dates and promises, and Huanyue destroyed Guardians near New Tenguu Tower while an unresolved presence remained nearby.
- Rinne Sonogami killed Shiori and reset Tenguu City with [Eden], leaving Qian Huanyue without her memories of their relationship.
- Nia restored Huanyue’s memories, and Huanyue took Rinne on a date before asking whether Rinne would let her find true happiness.
- Rinne revealed that she ruled Eden and had implanted false memories, while Huanyue and the Spirits rejected the false paradise and entered the barrier to find her.
- Huanyue freed Rinne from Eden, then accepted her invitation to a date and spent time with her in the shopping district and at a rooftop park.
- Huanyue refused to let Rinne disappear and helped her create a body before returning to reality with her.
- Shiori, Origami, Rinne, First-Meeting Kurumi, and Huanyue tampered with Ellen’s thermos, while Huanyue defeated Kaguya and Yuzuru and told Shiori that [General] had been swept into the sea.
