Cold open[]

In Lacroix village, Rubel gives the three Ghosts a choice: they can either save Rafaela and Renée, or stay on the run with the implication of moral cowardice.

When he finally leaves, the warriors are left disagreeing on what they should do next. Yuma urges Clare not to attempt a rescue—they would face Riful.[7]

Next step[]

Clare remains uncommitted. She says they will continue traveling westward.[8]

Mucha[]

Hunt in trouble[]

In the southern region of Mucha, Deneve and Helen, sit cliffside, watching an awakened hunt flounder in the river below. The awakened lured the entire hunt into the water, which slows down the speed of the warriors. Two warriors are down.[9]

While watching the hunt flounder in the river, Helen reminds Deneve how Clare saved their lives during the Paburo hunt, much to Deneve embarrassment. Deneve says Clare's chief strength is "limitless, explosive power," which is both Clare's strength and weakness.[10]

The third hunt member is wounded. Now the hunt captain stands alone.[11]

Rescue[]

Despite Miria's orders to avoid the Organization's warriors, Helen jumps into the river and joins the hunt, followed belatedly by Deneve.[12]

They try to knock unconscious the captain. But the captain rejoins the hunt. She realizes that Deneve and Helen are only trying to hide their identities.[13]

The warrior reveals her name and number: Dietrich, No. 8. She asks for help in evacuating her three wounded comrades.[14]

After rescuing the hunt members, Deneve blinds the awakened with Twin Sword, while Helen uses Drill Sword on the awakened's upper jaw.[15]

Coup de grace[]

Dietrich finally leaps sky-high, using her "sky sword" technique. She lands a sword blow to the awakened's head, bisecting the body in two.[16]
