THE WAR CONTINUES... Kevin, Lilian and Iris have reunited with Christine, yet several major hurdles keep this reunion from being truly heartwarming—though it certainly hasn’t stopped things between Kevin and the girls from heating up.

Dark truths are revealed, enemies show their fangs, and Kevin still has to convince Orin to ally himself with Daven Monstrang and Kuroneko. But in order to convince Orin to join their alliance, Kevin, Lilian, and Iris will have to prove themselves by confronting a threat none of them are prepared for.
