A young man is transported to another world where he helps to rebuild its flagging economy.

The Three Dukes meet to discuss what to do about King Souma.

Souma and his entourage confront Vargas in his castle before hurrying off to Randel to regroup with the Forbidden Army.

Julius, the son of Gaius, attempts to reclaim his former territory of Van from Souma, backed by the authority of the Gran Chaos Empire; the power to negotiate is given to Jeanne Euphoria, the younger sister of Empress Maria Euphoria.

Van is returned to Julius as a result of the mediation of the Grand Chaos Empire.
