The Gist
With Lord Alfreya deciding on Angel supremacy, he betrays the elves and even captures the Great Elder who, alongside Reiren, a shrine maiden, wished to gain clarity and talk. | Tomoaki Maeno As Lord Alfreya
Because of this grand betrayal, Kai, Jeanne, and the others are allowed to move amongst the Elven forest unharmed, and Reiren, through Qubirey, even offers to make a contract.
But, with Lord Alfreya being the most powerful of the celestials, with his greatest soldiers backing him, who knows if Kai and Jeanne can stand against him and leave unscathed.
Qubirey has set a trap for the humans but will exchange the hostages for the Great Elder’s return, and after some negotiations, an agreement is put in place. | Aya Hisakawa As The Great Elder
This was a well-balanced episode as we got a sense of the hierarchy of the celestials and what the issue seems to be that could cause civil war. | Hana Hishikawa As Reiren

Review
- This was a well-balanced episode as we got a sense of the hierarchy of the celestials and what the issue seems to be that could cause civil war.
- Alongside that, we got some sense of culture regarding the elves we’ve met, even if in a small way.
- Now, as for the battles we’re introduced to, admittedly, things are on a much smaller scale with fewer beings involved, which raises an eyebrow.
- However, if there is a need to have Jeanne and Kai take on Lord Alfreya, with Reiren there to assist, maybe this fight is being underestimated regarding entertainment value.
