The Maclaurin Provincial Army, led by Louis Bard, launches an attack on the elven reclamation village Kehdo, claiming to be there to defeat the fake savior Majima Takahiro. Takahiro, however, is down for the count from being poisoned with Holy Water, and he's fighting his own battle against Travis Mortimer, the sadistic commander of the Holy Order's Fourth Company.

Without their leader, Takahiro's group decides to take the surviving elves and flee the village. A desperate chase ensues, and as things get more and more dire, Rose decides to make a stand as her master's shield.
