• All of Lin Guang’s Pokémon had been named, and nearly all had taken human forms; Banji and Mingxi instead became larger.

Lin Guang learned that Aervi-ya would soon return with fifteen hundred Demi-Humans and more than a hundred Beastmen, and he planned to reward her. He opened three Gold Treasure Chests and received Senbonzakura, Dark Magic, and an Ability Extraction Card, but he was dissatisfied with the results.

• Lin Guang admitted to Kanae Kocho that naming Charizard and the others had caused them to evolve, with some taking human form and others gaining control over their size.

• Lin Guang complained that the treasure chest rewards were half-assed.

Lin Guang welcomed Shion and Shuna’s efforts to serve him, and Shion gained the unique ability [Cook], which could make the food she prepared delicious. He also worried that events might be moving ahead of schedule and ended the chapter by preparing to give Kanae Kocho a gift.

• The Voice of the World announced that Shion had acquired the unique ability [Cook], and Lin Guang agreed to let her prepare lunch.
• Lin Guang considered asking Souei to check the Boar's Head Tribe army’s advance, then took Kanae Kocho’s hand and said he had something to give her.

Lin Guang gave Kanae Kocho the Zanpakutō Senbonzakura, then learned that Goblins were fleeing the Boar's Head Tribe's army and seeking protection. He arranged shelter for them and ordered Souei to monitor the army, while hinting that the crow-masked Majin would be eaten; later, he trained Hakurou and discovered Shion's cooking tasted good despite its appearance.
