Synopsis

A mysterious, powerful mage uses teleportation magic to escape after a brief encounter with Zeke, leaving him and his companions to speculate about her identity and motivations. Zeke attends a funeral and is being considered as a Count, and his subordinates acknowledge his past heroics, much to his embarrassment. It's also revealed that a new regressor is involved, potentially linked to the mage, and the chapter ends with Zeke admitting the hero-image being given to him isn't accurate.
