Tsukimichi Moonlit Fantasy season 2 episode 13 began with Makoto Misumi and his loyal follower Shiki wandering around the city. They noticed that the people of Rotsgard were busier than ever, since the famed Academy Festival was about to begin.

It was a festival that usually lasted for an entire week, where people from faraway places came to visit the city. According to Makoto, it was a festival that brought out the lively spirit of the city like no other. As Shiki explained to him about the usual events that take place at the festival, the latter wished that nothing bad would happen this time.

As Shiki and Makoto were discussing the inventory of their shop for the duration of the festival, a temple priest named Shinai approached Makoto for a conversation regarding the medicines in the latter's shop.

According to Shinai, there were rumors spreading in the city about the medicines in Makoto's shop. Apparently, people believed that those medicines were a bit too effective for the price that they were sold at. As such, Shinai proposed that if the temple were to assist Makoto in clearing up the rumors, he would have to reveal the production methods of his medicines to the priest.

While this proposal did strike Makoto as odd, he agreed to it pretty quickly, which left the priest a bit surprised. That said, they managed to reach a proper agreement and decided on a day for Makoto to visit the temple.

When Makoto and Shiki headed to the temple one day, they were greeted by a bishop and a few other priests. The bishop guaranteed that the temple would do their best to clear up the rumors surrounding Makoto's shop, and if possible, find a cure for his speech impediment as well.

After Makoto disclosed his production methods to priests, Shinai took him aside for a few queries. While their conversation seemed like small talk at first, Makoto felt it was more to be like an interrogation, mainly due to the nature of the questions that Shinai was asking him.

Shortly after Makoto and Shiki's departure from the temple, the bishop and the priests were seen discussing about their ulterior motives regarding Makoto. It didn't take long for the bishop to deduce that Makoto was much more powerful than he let on, especially since he was able to block the temple's attempts to examine his mind and mana.

Furthermore, the production methods revealed by Makoto were off as well. Considering the current abilities of the temple, priests would only stand at a 50% chance of replicating the medicines. While this discovery did shock them to some extent, they concluded that Makoto might turn out to be their trump card someday.

After reprimanding Eris and Jin for slacking off, Makoto set out to make some deliveries. On the way, he noticed that several mysterious figures were tailing him. Although he initially decided to let them be, he was eventually confronted by them when he stepped into a narrow alley. Makoto dealt with them with ease.

Afterwards while relieving his stress by doing target practice, he came across Tomoe, who informed him about her investigation into the demiplane's climate.

As their medicines got sold out in a matter of a few hours on the first day of the festival, Makoto and his followers set out during the evening to enjoy themselves and explore all different kinds of food in different shops and bars.

The characters were seen having a great time together, as they hopped from one restaurant to another - trying out and sometimes even creating new combinations of food.

Towards the end of the episode, the officials of both Laurel and Limia met one another, with the former party seeking to get their priestess back from the latter. However the negotiation did not go as planned, as the officials of Laurel expressed that they could not simply hand over the priestess to her former nation, especially since she supported the hero of Limia on her own accord.

Elsewhere, Makoto was seen walking around the festival along with his followers, who were still planning to explore more restaurants and continue their fun evening. With this, the episode came to an end.
