Summary[]
Ristarte, Mash, and Elulu spend the day enjoying themselves. When they head back to their hotel room, they notice that Seiya is not there. After realizing he was missing, they head to Ishtar's house. Finding a distraught Ariadoa, she escorts them to see Ishtar in a hidden room where all the real souls of the gods are located. Ishtar reveals that Seiya went to the Demon Lord (Gaeabrande)'s castle alone. She also reveals that despite his personality and demeanor, Seiya actually cares about them more than he lets on. When Ristarte questions this, Ishtar shows her that his stats have been maxed out since they were in the Dragon Village, hence why he trained with Valkyrie. She then shows Ristarte footage from 100 years ago when Ariadoa previously summoned Seiya to Ixphoria.
It is shown that he had a party that consisted of himself, Ariadoa, a mage named Colt, and their team healer, Princess Tiana. Back then, Seiya would recklessly fight enemies while unprepared. When they fought the Demon Lord, it appeared that they had killed him. However, he revealed that he had two lives. As a result; he was able to kill the party, including Seiya and Princess Tiana's unborn child.
After watching the footage, Ishtar reveals to Ristarte that she is the reincarnation of Princess Tiana and that the regret Seiya felt after losing her was so strong that after Ristarte summoned him, he knew instinctively that he had been summoned before and failed. He even found a message he left for himself inside his properties page, hidden behind his Fake Out skill, warning himself to always be cautious, even though it might make people hate him, and above all else to save the world, save his friends and save the woman he loves. Despite warnings from Ariadoa and Ishtar, Ristarte insists on finding Seiya and opens a portal to the Demon Lord's castle, taking Mash and Elulu to save their friend.
