2. Episode 4 Speculation

The demon lord’s airship is headed toward Zoltan, and once the church confirms its arrival, they will send the new hero, Van. If he meets Ruti in Zoltan and finds out she was the former hero, some trouble might occur, so Escarlata sends one of her men to set the stage prior to Van’s arrival if she can’t stop it entirely somehow.

The peace we saw in the Solstice festival won’t stay as it is for long. Why the ship is even headed towards Zoltan is a mystery. Who are these people looking for the airship and who’s the mysterious person that attacked Tisse. A lot of questions remain unanswered and hopefully we’ll find some answers in episode 4.

3. Recap of Episode 3

It’s about time for the solstice festival in Zoltan, and everyone is getting ready for it. The whole town is in a festive mood, unaware of the danger that is approaching them. The church wants to send the new hero, Van, to Zoltan. Fearing what might happen if he meets Ruti, Escarlata sends an individual named Arthur to Zoltan.

To join everyone else in the celebration, Red closed his pharmacy earlier and left to see the town with Rit. A short while later, Ruti and Tisse joined them, too. They go around the town, meeting all their old friends. They meet Gonz and Tanta in the plaza. Tanta tells Rit all about how the solstice festival is celebrated in Zoltan.

As the sun is about to set, Yarandrala joins back with Red and everyone else. They all go to Oparara’s food stall for some of her delicious oden. Oparara is surprised to see Yarandrala, a kirmin elf, but Yarandrala assures her that there’s no reason to see her as someone special. Red Rit, Ruti, Tisse, and Yarandrala enjoy their meal as night falls.

All of them go to see the special attraction of the festival, a play demonstrating the defeat of the winter demon. It turns out that Red and Yarandrala’s friend Danan was playing the role of the demon. Red and Danan chat a bit before he goes back to the stage, and after the drama ends, Red takes turns in dancing with both Rit and Ruti.

After returning home Red surprises Rit with the gift he prepared secretly. It was a beautiful necklace with a green jewel. Red asked Rit to have this as a sign of his promise to get her the blue sapphire ring one day. An overjoyed Rit hugs Red tightly and asks him to put it on her neck.

While all this was happening, some individuals seemed aware of the arrival of the demon lord’s airship. They were searching for it when Tisee caught them red-handed. They tried to run away, but Tisse quickly caught up by creating a note in front of them. Suddenly, some blades cut the net, allowing them to escape. Ruti stood there dumbfounded.
