Tomoe suggests aiding the city and rescuing the hyumans, posing questioning whether Makoto would still consider collaborating with demons. While Makoto expresses his eventual intention to do so, he decides to quell the chaos without directly engaging with the demons, as Rona had deceived him.

The scene transitions to a conversation between Rona and Io, as they discuss the unfolding situation in Rotsgard and how Rona manipulated Makoto.

Io also discloses that they have progressed from the prototype to the finished version of the ring capable of suppressing the goddess's blessings.

With this development, they vow to settle scores with Limia's hero, Hibiki, foreshadowing an imminent clash between hyumans and demons.
