"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.

"This is the Queen Dowager, Lady Patra, wife of the late King." Gafra Ka says, "Really Consul Narmes, you're quite the disappointment. Letting the young king meet with foreign travelers at a time like this. You're not fit for the title of consul."

"Rude much?" Annalise mumbles almost silently.

"Don't you understand what's going on? Ever since the death of the former king and the enthronement of Prince Armakan, the country has seen nothing but bad luck. You are aware, are you not? Of the increase in sudden deaths with no apparent cause... healthy young people have recently started dropping dead for no known reason. We're using all our resources to investigate this phenomenon, but do you know what they're calling it in the city? A curse." Gafra Ka says.

"A curse?" Annalise asks in shock.

"That's right! Our great former king strong to keep Heliohapt an independent country, free from foreign influences. Despite that, our current king has chosen to ignore the will of the former king and has decided to let outsiders like these into our country. That's something unforgiveable." Petra says, "I'm sure these actions must have invoked the rage of our former king."

"Lord Gafra! Lady Petra. You are speaking in front of your king!" Narmes says.

"Please excuse us. We had no intention of being rude. But... we are praying that the 'curse' does not affect our young king." Gafra Ka says. He walks away with Petra and another guy who called himself Anubis.

"I'm sorry about all of that." Narmes says, "Let's leave our negotiations for another day. As an apology, please allow us to pay for your lodgings."
