During the Demon Lord and Max's trip to the Gamma Republic, Zenia begins investigating the Bureau of Magic, which produces the magic needed to run society while also maintaining the military and police. After hacking their computers, she is captured by Fred. Due to her idiocy, Fred quickly recognizes her and demands to know what her relationship is to Max. Unfortunately, Fred is called away by Lord Grimms, a Royal Minister who longs for the old days of heroes and suspects Leo was tricked into defecting after being framed for corruption. While Fred believes this is true, he still cannot forgive Leo for choosing to defect. Zenia is treated kindly by her guard, Lim, and she struggles with how to escape without hurting her. Meanwhile, Grimms is planning to propose a peace treaty with Leo, but he needs Fred's support to convince the other ministers. Zenia escapes her handcuffs but is restrained by Lim's fire magic. Fred agrees to support Grimms. Once Grimms leaves, a bomb goes off in the building. An amused Grimms wonders how Fred will react to this "Republic terrorist attack".
