In the recent episode, Shiro Fujimoto arrives at Mephisto's office and hands over Yukio and Rin Okumura to him, with the character claiming that he is now out of The Order. However, he is tricked by Mephisto to take care of them because they are technically demons he didn't kill, much to Shiro's frustration as he becomes their father and the new Paladin.

During the following part of this installment, the Demon Kings meets Satan in Gehenna and both Lucifer and Mephisto promise to get him a new body. The next scene features Shiro at his Paladin ceremony, with Satan taunting him since now they have a connection. In another scene, Eminescu is still working on a body for Satan, likely setting the emergence of the Illuminati.

The installment concludes with Shiro being overwhelmed by his role as a father and finally listening to Yuri's words of asking others for help. He and several exorcists come to his aid, revamping the monastery and starting a new chapter in his life.
