On the way to Galbraith, Lord Aristide catches a special monster for Melphie, one she’s only read about: a giant fish called a zanas that she can’t wait to prepare for the knights who are mostly sustaining themselves on porridge and other meals without meat. Melphie also becomes concerned about her fiancé and the amount of magical energy building up inside of him, which can lead to toxins overwhelming his body.

Reito dismisses Akemi as his proper wife in the Byakurenji household because he continues to have feelings for Nanao and delusions that he can win her away from Yako Benitsubaki. The jealousy and outrage drives Akemi insane, and she decides to take matters into her own hands. She travels to the Benitsubaki house in order to convince Yako that he doesn't need Nano. Meanwhile, Reito also tries to convince Nanao that he needs her and to come back to the Byakurenji house to take her place as his wife. 
In a futuristic world, calamities wreak havoc on the world. These giant spiritual powers are known as “Nights”, and the bring with them large destructive forces people once thought were natural disasters. One such night, a typhoon force attacked Great Britain and sent its prince escaping to Japan where he met Jin through a terrible circumstance. Now, Gao and Jin are fighting back using their own god-like powers, channeling forces of mysterious fugeki creatures to fight off the Nights and hopefully save humanity.
Poor docile Iruma-kun says yes to everyone thanks to his horrible parents who have raised him to be a pushover for them. When they get the bright idea to barter their son to a demon, initially Iruma says yes out of reflex, and now he’s landed himself the grandson of the Chair-Demon of a demon school! Thanks to his insufferable bad luck and his exceptional skills at avoiding danger, these demons are convinced that Iruma is ultra powerful.
