Summary
Sasae explains that he will work in the shadow to support his family and will raise a strong force to take on against the Dead Mell. Some brick-dolls that Sasae had send were found and destroyed by the Dead Mell. Melty Rho comments that's a new magic that Sasae had invented. Ken Rouga explains that the puppet magic originates from his earth magic, but they act as a shield and carry basic instructions and can't act on their own or scout. Aquasphere explains the dolls has some of her water magic making them more realistic and swift, and Melty Rho adds that the dolls also have his fire magic warming them and giving them sense of life. They tell him that no one ever though of mixing magic like this before as it would be deemed "evil". Sasae explains that he learned from his father that a normal people like him, need to use everything they have to survive and decides to move to the next step of his plan.

On the next day, Sugar Manish receives a letter from the capital, telling her to arest the people from the other world and bring them for a punishment. They realize its Ru's fault and that he must have exaggerated. Sasae decides to go alone and states he will even bring back an army to help them fight. Sasae has been expecting this as he predicted Ru would do such thing, but didn't expect he to involve the king, which will make things easier for him. The spirits don't believe the king would agree to give him an army, but Sasae explains that every person has a weakness.

At the capital Saifan, the king Zaial Saifan receive news of a person claiming to be from another world has arrived on a huge beast and wants to meet the king. Ru realizes that Sasae is scheming something and begs the king to not meet him, but the king's wife Searus Saifan gets interested and wants to meet him and convinces the king. Sasae then enters and introduces himself, telling the king that he wants a favor.

A week passes and hearing rumors of Sasae being rude to the king and thrown in jail, Sugar has no other choice but to begin the attack against the Dead Mells. As they engage the Dead Mells, the king's army joins them in battle. Kanae thanks them, but the army general calls them cowards and explains how Sasae abducted the king's wife and threatened him to send an army if he wants to see her again. Meanwhile, Sasae lays in bed with Saerus, while the spirits wonder if he is indeed "normal" guy like he says or actually "special".
