In this short scene, we learn that Shuda and Holograms have been living in mildian for seven days. Holograms has been studying magic with Shuda, and Shuda tells him that the town is about to become a battlefield. Shuda asks Holograms to come to his house and speak with his ladies, but Holograms refuses, saying that he has been indecisive about the time. He tells Holograms that they need to talk about time, since the town's leader, Diomedes, has been trying to get the town to stop time by using the magic of the five darks. Diomedeses is trying to use the magic to travel back in time to the place where Holograms's party used to travel, but Shuda points out that this is not necessary, since Holograms can still drive time mad by using magic. Shida, however, believes that Holograms is using the time-warping magic to get away from the town, and so she is here to help him. When Holograms tells Shuda that he failed to kill the king, Shida says that he would have killed the king if he had been able to do so, and that he is now a traitor to the town because of the sin of time warping. He says that the two of them are the two "mightiest sorcerers" he knows, and he cannot stand them alone.
