Then with things picking up where they left off, Lisara is charging to get Mina back. However it seems like Galderbroug has reclaimed Mina, and when she awakens he test her to validate his assumption. Then just as he is proven correct Lisara finally reaches him, this leads him to summon his demon sword Dirufingu. Then with his sword he is prepared to defend himself from Lisara, this also is when he starts to gloat about how everything is over now since he has found the special specimen that Lisara was looking for this entire time. However when he tries to drain her of her life, he surprise when he can't. That is when he notice that she made a contract with Zeria, this reminds Lisara that because of Kyuuru's contract with Mina he can't touch her.

Then to this end he tries to get to Lisara to obey through the use of force, then when he is about to kill her Ryousuke appears. Ryousuke's appearance angers Lisara feels he has no right being her since this isn't his world. However he rejects her opinion by saying he isn't going stop since he already come this far. That all he needs to do is finish things and everything will be alright.

This leads to Galderbroug redirecting his attention onto Ryousuke to see if Graham is really as strong as he hope it is. Although in the begging of the fight it looks like Ryousuke is losing, but after he powers up from his perverted day dreams. This gives him the strength that he needs to back Galderbroug into a corner by cracking his demon sword Dirufingu. Then with one final blow he defeats him but in the processes Ryousuke broke the pillar behind Galderbroug. This turns out to be a bad thing when Galderbroug tells them about what he was trying to achieve in his last moments.

Hagare Yuusha no Estetica - ep10



In the beginning of the fight between Akatsuki and Phil things start out a bit slow. However the reason behind this is that they are trying to seek understanding in each others actions. Phil finds Akatsuki's action to be strange because Miyu is the Maou daughter which makes her the enemy of Alazzard. There is also the fact that she isn't human so there should be no reason for him to protect her. Although Akatsuki's reason are simple is that she is someone that is suffering, that she is someone worth saving because she is in pain.

However it turns out that Phil's motivation is driven by greed. That he intends to throw away his old world for the sake of this new world, because his original world is tainted beyond a point of salvation. That it is only logical to discard to for something better, that is why he needs to bring back Miyu. Since there is no demon lord he will just make her one, and then kill her to become a true hero. That will erase the memory of Leon the previous hero with Akatsuki which took up his place after he died. Then Phil tells Akatsuki about destroying Leon's grave, in an effort to erase the memories of a dead man. The after this he takes Miyu hostage because Phil see that they are evenly matched.

This change in the situation cause Akatsuki to lose his sword, but we learn that his Renkankeikikou has a price to be able to use it. That person has to forsake the ability to use magic, that he chosen to learn it for good reason. That with it he can channel chi where it is impossible for him to be harmed, or even influence the environment. That when Phil goes to stab him in the throat, he realize he can't cut him. This is when Akatsuki beats him into the ground, but after he beats him Miyu runs off.

It appears that Miyu believe that the only choice she has is to kill herself, because others will be hurt from being near her. However after Akatsuki saves her she questions on why he didn't just let her died because she feels that is actual the only thing that she can do. In hearing this he tells her that she might feel that she doesn't have place that she belongs, in this world or Alazzard. However to Akatsuki feels that it isn't the place that has meaning but the people there that support you. That he will always be there for her so she will always have a place in the world. That if he wasn't prepared for this he would of never brought her to his world.

After she regains confidence in herself, Akatsuki collapse and this is when she realize he's been poisoned. He tells her he will be alright if he rest, but this doesn't put her at eases. This leads to her sucking out the poison and sharing her bodies warmth with him since he is so cold. However it turns out her actions where overall unnecessary, Miyu tries to convince him that moving now isn't the best idea. Although this doesn't seem to be much of an issue when Phil returns for round two with Akatsuki, because it appears that he was holding back. Then question is how will the second around go for Akatsuki when Phil is no-longer underestimating him.

Once Godou is able to clear up the misunderstanding, Karen asks him to step out for a moment because she has some official business to discuss with Liliana.

That the failed attempt to gain support from Duke Voban and Salvatore Doni didn't help matters. Although if she is able to steal Godou from Erika it would be a reversal of fortune.

This leads to her drugging Godou so that she can meet with Athena to take up the offer, however Godou must no accept. Ultimately this proves pointless because Godou still arrives to accept the offer.

Now that things are set for the fight, we find out that Doni was intending for Godou to fight Persues all along. The reason being is that he needs Godou to level up and get stronger, but he can't have these others helping and holding his hand. That is why he lowered the technological level of the region so that Godou would remain separated from them. Doni feels that if Godou is to get stronger he will have to learn to fight his own battles, that having all these woman always helping isn't anyway to get things done.

There time there ends with Shougo buying a Racoon key-chain that Rinka was looking at earlier.

Later when he gets home he is trying to remember where he seen something like this key-chain before. It suddenly comes to him that there was a very similar one on Mei's Cellphone that went missing.
