"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!

Sinbad is shown and Annalise walks over to him as he stands with the rest of their friends.

"It all started a few months ago when the former when the former King passed away. The former king had two sons Prince Armakan and his younger brother, Prince Sharrkan. Due to the fact that Prince Armakan was the son of the second queen, he wasn't the first in line to succeed the throne. However, his younger brother was still only nine years old, so Prince Armakan was the one enthroned." Narmes says and Annalise's mouth drop open in shock. Just because he was nine, Sharrkan was passed over when the throne was rightfully his.

"However, there were those who disagreed. The following month, the second queen passed away. It was sudden and unexpected. Shortly thereafter, the same sorts of sudden deaths began happening throughout the city. All of the victims were people that stood behind the young King Armakan. King Armakan was losing his supporters one by one. At the time, the former king's faction started calling the series of mysterious deaths a 'curse', and began promoting the younger brother, Prince Sharrkan, as the legitimate heir to the throne." Narmes says.

"Hmm." Annalise says as she thinks. Sinbad had a look that showed he was thinking too.

"However, there was something we realized. The death of the second queen, as well as the death of the current King's supporters... they all died because they were poisoned. So that made it likely that someone in the former King's faction was poisoning them." Narmes explains.

"Huh?" Annalise asks.

"If you realized that, why didn't you do something?" Sinbad asks.

"Unfortunately, we don't have any definitive proof that it's someone from the previous King's faction. But if we let things continue like this, our internal struggles will only continue. What are we supposed to do?" Narmes asks.
