WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WE’RE TURNING BACK? The Dusk Realm has begun to attract attention as a new hunting ground. However, all is not well–there’s been a rise in cultist and white giant activity, and massive new monsters have emerged! Together with Soma, the head of the Day Breakers, Haruhiro and the Tokkis get caught up in large-scale military offensive against the inhabitants of the Dusk Realm. Can they make it back to the Day Realm–and if the way is cut off, where will they go?

HELLOS AND GOODBYES The Arabakia Kingdom Expeditionary Force took back Alterna by the skin of its teeth, but Haruhiro is ground down by the weight of everything he's lost. When one of Haruhiro's party is taken hostage, they are forced onto a dangerous mission—to somehow forge an alliance with goblins! As the team struggles against insurmountable odds, an old ally appears...!

Having overcome many trials and tribulations, Haruhiro and the others succeed in returning to Grimgar. However, though they have returned, they are a long way from the human sphere of influence. When Haruhiro and Yume go scouting, they're lucky enough to encounter members of another party in the Day Breakers clan, the Typhoon Rocks. However, they engaged in a battle against groups of orcs and undead in order to accomplish a certain goal, and Haruhiro and Yume, along with the other four who were left behind, are caught up in the fighting. In the world they've returned to, more comrades, encounters, and battles await. As the ashes dance, no one yet knows what lies waiting beyond the fantasy.

Having left the party to continue her training with Momohina, Yume overcomes a desperate crisis to return to Alterna. However, something is wrong. Will she be able to meet her comrades again? What is the true nature of the dark clouds hanging over Alterna? “Until she gets stronger, Yume's just gonna have to keep givin' it her all as her weak ol' self.” Yume enters the spotlight, showing her determination and growth in the episode “Howling Beneath the Moon, I am a Wolf.” Plus, three stories written as bonuses for the anime, including the story of Ranta recklessly challenging Moguzo to a cooking battle, “Justice and Justice,” and an afterstory revolving around the bounty that the party received for slaying Death Spots, “The Fun has Just Begun.”
