In this chapter, the protagonist explains that he is alone in the world and that he has been following the events of Minato-Aomori with great interest. He asks the others to ask dana if they can continue their training in order to prepare for battle. He tells them that a pactio is a magical contract between a minister and a servant. The servant is powered up by the magical energy of the wizard, and the wizard is able to double the servant's normal strength. When the servant and the minister enter into the pactio, they are able to increase their normal strength by up to three times. When tota and Kirie kiss, their time freeze powers are triggered. The pactio spell does not work, however, because the two kiss each other. The protagonist tells the others that he would die before entering into such a contract with them. He also tells them to call him when they change their minds. He says that he will come running to apologize for this. He then tells them about the fact that they do not seem to be together for any reason. When he asks what is wrong, he is told that he cannot call himself his partner.
