In this episode, the protagonist grapples with controlling a dangerously injured demon named Agade. Despite his fierce resistance, she asserts her authority as his master and offers to save him. Agade proposes a deal: he will break their contract and allow her to kill the true traitor if she escorts him back to the castle and helps him pass the demon-taming trial that night. Though wary of his intentions, she reluctantly agrees. With Agade's dark level lowered and her demon-taming rank improved, they prepare for the critical trial, while others face setbacks that threaten their own chances of success.
