"Kyou wo ikinuku no wa sonna ni kantan ja nai!" A bird is shown flying then all the characters are shown with Sinbad and Annalise last. "Yume ni tsubusaresou de nemurenai yoru wo yuku!" A boy is shown holding his hands together followed by a boy holding some type of weapon. Then a blue haired girl is shown and she opens her eyes as she was holding her hands together as well. A guy throws a weapon as he's shown. "Osanai koro no BIJYON wa dokoka ni kiete shimatta!" Three people are shown together. "Fujouri na sekai de kitto dareka naiteiru" Two people are shown followed by a guy with wraps covering his mouth and he slashes with a knife. "Mukizu de tsuuka shiyou to omou na!" Sinbad is shown and he fights off a monster while Annalise flashes behind him with a smile on her face. "Sono michi wo yuku no nara!" The two are shown growing up almost in the same position where Annalise stood behind Sinbad. "Kesenai kizu wa ikita kiseki da! Shinu made wasurenai yo!" Their friends are shown running and Annalise jumps up into the air. "Donna higeki no asa mo koete yuke! Nigitta yume no kankaku wo kate ni shite! Mukuwareru hoshou mo nai ga yokan wo shinjite hashire! Aisubeki kiseki no shunkan wa koko ni shikanai!" Annalise, Sinbad and another guy gets backed against each other and Sinbad freaks out before looking at the two and the three run forward and attack a monster before being blown away. "Ikiyuku riyuu nante atozuke sa! Asayake no PINSUPOTTO ga bokura wo terashita! Kodou ga tomaru sono hi made owaranai! Tsugi wa kimi no ban datte yoake ga iu!" Sinbad is shown defending everyone. Allies and enemies are shown with Annalise last and she giggles as Sinbad smiles at her. "Hitotsu mata hitotsu tte tsumiagete kita kibou wa! Itsuka yogore suteta risou ni yoku naiteiru! Osanai koro no BIJYON wa dokoka ni kiete shimatta! Wake mo nai kotoba ni ki wo torareteta suki ni! Itsuka kono ishiki mo zenbu hai ni kawaru no nara! Ikita imi wa semete shiritai yo!

Asayake no PINSUPOTTO ga bokura wo terashita! Kodou ga tomaru sono hi made owaranai! Tsugi wa dare no ban ka tte! Yoake ni iwarenakutatte wakaru darou!" Sinbad is shown and Annalise walks over to him as he stands with the rest of their friends.

The two return to the room and everyone looks at them. Annalise stares in shock as she watches as the cages were empty.

"What... happened?" Annalise whispers.

"Sinbad! Why would you let all the slaves escape?! This is why I was against it! Making someone like him a head slave! We trusted him even though he's such a weird guy! And what has he done for us?!" People say.

"That's right! He's not fit to be a head slave! He betrayed your trust, Lady Maader! He should be give suitable punishment." Fatima says.

"Sinbad... I forgive you. Everyone fails once or twice." Maader says, "But don't let it happen again or else." Sinbad looks away as they weren't sure what happened.

"What are you saying?! This isn't something that can be forgiven!" Fatima says.

"Oh, Fatima... Are you telling me what to do?" Maader asks.

"Of... course not! I'm only thinking of you, Lady Maader." Fatima says.

"Fatima, what's wrong? You're shaking so badly. I wonder if there's some reason behind it? I don't want to see my cute little children fighting. The search for the culprit ends here. I'm going to overlook this incident." Maader says.

"Well, if Lady Maader says so..." A guy says.

[The Next Morning]

Annalise and Sinbad follow after Maader to where she'd left Fatima the night before. Maader speaks to a customer that she'd left Fatima with. Annalise stares at the floor. The customer looks at Sinbad and Annalise.
