At the school, everyone is preparing for the school festival. Yuji still has the Silver flame in his thoughts, still wondering what to make of it all. Sato and Tanaka think about whether or not Margery will show up for the festival, but from his flashback about her thoughts on the school festival, chances are low that she’ll be around. Shana and Yoshida on the other hand have their thoughts on all the relationship advice they’ve received.

Ike is also preoccupied on things as his activity board partner Fujita is a workaholic and has a multitude of things she wants to do and in the process pulls Ike into doing those things as well. Yoshida tries to help his situation by offering him some quick snacks, but he’s immediately pulled away by Fujita who has more thing for him to do. Everyone else continues with their work and stays at the school overnight to complete things, all but for Konoe. After some shower antics that can be passed off as fan service, Shana and Yoshida have a brief discussion about how Yoshida will not give up pursuing Yuji as a love interest despite all the time Shana and Yuji spend together.

The next day, Shana reflects back on all the things she and Yuji did together around town. Alastor tells Shana he’s never heard of a Tomogara with a silver flame. He also tells Shana that Flame Hazes can love humans. At that point, Wilhelmina returns, with bad news. Shana takes Yuji to Wilhelmina later that night who explains to him that the Tomogara Pheles created the Reiji Maigo for her lover Johan so that the two can be together forever. However, the Reiji Maigo was lost in a battle, but Pheles is alive and in search of the Reiji Maigo and will definitely destroy Yuji in the process. They sure are hyping up Pheles. We’ll just have to see how amped up she really is.

Yuji asks about his connection with the silver flame. Alastor tells him these two things are separate problems, which means twice the predicament that Yuji is in. Wilhelmina tells Yuji she’ll investigate the silver flame further. On the way home the next day, Yuji makes the decision to fight for his existence. Wilhelmina on the other hand wants to avoid battle with Pheles at all costs, but of course, there wouldn’t be much of a show if Pheles doesn’t show up.

I don’t think Pheles would be all that powerful. Otherwise, you really wouldn’t have much of a competition between her and Shana. So it’s just going to be a relatively strong opponent, but not unbeatable.
