Long Summary
This episode starts with flashback of first meeting of Noel and Jin at the Military Academy, where Noel was reading her poem she had wrote about cats until a gust of wind blew her poem away, and Jin manages to catch it. At first, Jin was friendly toward Noel, until he realizes she looks like his sister, Saya and then Jin started to give her the cold shoulder.

In Sector Seven, Hakumen is captured and bound with a powerful Ars Magus spell created by Kokonoe. That spell can repair itself when Hakumen tries to break free. Later Rachel has a meeting with the Takamagahara System about why she used the Tsukuyomi unit, and if she hadn't interfere, then the world would have been reduced to ashes, Rachel refused to tell her reason. She noticed that they released Yūki Terumi from the Boundary. The Takamagahara System willing to forgive her, if she has interest coming back, but Rachel replied that she has no interest in coming back.

At the Lost Town, while Ragna still recovering in bed, the Kaka kittens eavesdropped. They wanted to play with Ragna, but they were afraid because they would get scolded again. Then Tao comes and brings him food to get his strength back. At first Ragna thinks it looks gross and weird, but as Tao forced him to eat it, it taste not bad. Meanwhile at Kagutsuchi at night, Noel reunites with her friend, Makoto and they reminiscing the time they have with Tsubaki in Military Academy, where they studied about the Gigant: Take-Mikazuchi, that it can only fire once every four years, and they talk about other Nox Nyctores weapon. Noel wonders how Tsubaki was doing, and Makoto tells her that Tsubaki will arrive to Kagutsuchi soon which makes Noel happy. Makoto tells her news about Jin missing from the hospital. Nobody knows where he is and it's possible he's defected. Noel has a feeling that Jin was after Ragna. Then Makoto tells that Tsubaki transfered to the Zero Division, The Wing of Judgment, and that Tsubaki was ordered to find Jin Kisaragi and Noel to assassinate them.

Before arriving in Kagutsuchi, Tsubaki visits her household and releases the seal in order to get the Sealed Weapon Izayoi. Suddenly Tsubaki has a vision of her and Jin from a different timeline together. After Makoto departs, Noel uses Ars Magus to search for Ragna. As Noel traveled to Lost Town, she encountered Litchi along the way. At first, Litchi thought she was going to capture Ragna since she is from NOL so she summons her weapon, Mantenbō to prepare to fight her, but Noel tries to explain to her that it is just a misunderstanding and that she no interest of capturing Ragna, but to talk to him.

Meanwhile in the outskirt of Kagutsuchi at night, Jin is still searching for Ragna in his current condition until he encounter one of Six Heroes, Jubei, however Jin doesn't believe him if he really is one of Six Heroes only think of him as nuisance. Howver Jubei quicky leaves him if he really need to talk to him, he will be waiting.
