Plot
Telne tells her children that she loves them all and tells them to multiply and fill the land to keep the peace but only finds them later all killed and Telne chastises herself for not getting there sooner, leaving more forces around or killing all those who disagreed with her but one of her children wakes up and makes the suggestion of making their children marry other clans to protect them. Telne then starts talking to Jida if he can keep Jii in check which he responds they both care for Elma and Telne is relieved knowing they have endured the same pain after losing many comrades in war but in reality he and another personality can control Jii from coming out but him and Jii outvote her so they will use Elma to overrun the Divine clan using his and Elma's child. Meanwhile, the Holy Sword tells Kobayashi she is in big trouble as Kobayashi agrees saying she doesn't want to get involved with otherworldly affairs and to keep away from them as much as possible and the Holy Sword replies that Kobayashi is a humans that follows the rules of her world but asks her if she's felt different since hanging out with dragons saying she is brooding over how to continue living after her fight with Kimun Kamui.Kobayashi is surprised they can read her mind and they say that she is her mom which Kobayashi disagrees saying she is always in the sidelines because of doubts but knows that it's a waste a time to think as the Sword finishes her thought saying she is forced into a decision after evaluating the problem so she has to consider who will get hurt and whose feelings matter more like how Kanna's feelings mattered more in the fight with her father so it asks if this time Elma's feelings are more important. Kobayashi responds that Elma has agreed to this though the time she spent with her at work make it harder for her to accept as Elma was able to conform to these world's rules even though Kobayashi rejected the otherworld's rules when Tohru arrives looking sad and Kobayashi asks what's wrong as Tohru explains she got into a fight with Elma and explains the situations over drinks. Kobayashi thinks that they fought over the meaning of marriage but Tohru corrects her that she fought because Elma gets on her nerves and Kobayashi teases her by saying Tohru wants to release Elma from the chains that keep her but Kobayashi reminds Tohru the last time they had a fight Elma was the one to compromise but now Tohru has to meet her halfway which angers Tohru saying that it pisses her off that Elma is chained to tradition but she can't do anything about it because it would rob Elma's home. Kobayashi starts thinking what Tohru can do when she remembers what Azad said about the Dragon Slayers in a flashback saying they are a group formed from the overwhelming power from Jida and most members are considered outcasts of the Harmony Faction because they are unruly, however. stronger dragons relate more to Jida's female persona although they no longer interact because the male personas are in control nowadays so the Dragon Slayers are waiting for a chance to take over the Harmony Faction which means that they can beat the entire Chaos Faction and Kobayashi realizes why they haven't done so yet getting her an idea. Kobayashi tells Tohru she has a plan but Tohru needs to answer the question if she likes Elma and after realizing how fond she is of her memories with Elma, Tohru declares she does like Elma. 2 days later, Lucoa bumps into Fafnir seeing he is going out more often and he reclaims she is too asking if will skip the fight to which Lucoa answers she won't do anything but she also won't run away and he asks her if she is sure as it is a huge event and will test if Tohru can keep what she earned and preserve her community because Tohru can never take the easy way and Lucoa responds that that is the Tohru they know and love. Fafnir arrives home and notices Takiya has a letter of resignation that Elma gave him to send because she got into a fight with Tohru and would be awkward around Kobayashi if they see each other but Fafnir asks why he still has it to which Takiya hopes no one would find out which prompts Fafnir to laugh. Soon, the two weeks go by and Telne meets Elma to take her home.
