After the battle at the Kimluck Church Cathedral, Orphen and his party decide to relax and get some rest at the Ledgeborne Hot Spring Village. But on their way there, Orphen loses his bag with all of their money in it and the party ends up working at Eris and Sheena's inn so they can also stay there. That is when Orphen and his party get dragged into the dark side of the hot spring village. The secret behind the hot springs, the Lotz Group pressuring the surrounding inns... and there were also incidents where tourists had gone missing.
A mysterious beast decapitates Volkan as he's wandering around the forest. Orphen investigates the forest with Dortin, who's convinced his brother is dead, and they find a Celestial ruin.
Orphen is asked by Claiomh to find out why two of the swordsmanship dojos in town are in conflict with each other. The reason appears to be that Lottecia and Ed were fighting over Lottecia's late father's sword, Freak Diamond.
Ed and Lottecia face off to determine the fate of the Crest of Insects Sword! But meanwhile, what is the terrible truth Claiomh is about to learn about the man called Ryan Spoon?
Claiomh and Majic return to the inn and are attacked by Ryan and Helpart. Ryan captures Claiomh, and Helpart overpowers Majic using the sword Freak Diamond. Meanwhile, Orphen finds Lottecia and tracks her down, but it was a trap. Lottecia led Orphen to somewhere secluded so she could ambush him!
