Synopsis

The chapter opens with the protagonist avoiding explaining the true source of his power by claiming he simply worked hard, hinting at a hidden truth involving a "Hall of Heroes." He then tries to cheer up Red Flag who is suffering from mana exhaustion by offering her a cookie, before her true 'mother' comforts her, revealing she has demonic powers. The chapter then shows that the territory's disease outbreak was contained, resulting in far less deaths than expected, and the protagonist engages in a cryptic conversation with an information broker about a future transaction that will require a lot of "points," hinting at his knowledge of the disease.
