On the second night of the festival, Makoto reacquaints himself with Rembrandt's family and has a private conversation with a woman from the country Laurel; Sairitsu. She explains the characters on Makoto's shop are from their ancient dialect and want to know how he knows it, but Makoto manages to evade her questions. The next day, Luto joins Makoto, Tomoe, and Mio before slipping away to meet Princess Lilia. The two exchange conversations about Kuzunoha Trading with Luto imparting that she should not go up against Makoto and company since Lilia is already about to declare war. As the festival has a tournament to determine prestige among students, Makoto places extra restrictions on his students, but learns later some nobles have rigged the games before they begin.
