- Sekai and Otomi are joined in the sky by her sisters Otaki and Okiku. Discius has been using the floating city, which he renamed Heaven's Wrath, to blast cities with lightning in a bid to take over the world. Heaven's Wrath drifts into the Realm of Darkness and flying darklings led by Zaraza attack it. The witches blast a hole in the force field protecting the city and Sekai, Otomi, Zaraza, and a few darklings slip through before it closes. Sekai frees the elves from dungeon cells and gives his golem summoning stone to Lucille, allowing her to summon a powerful golem to get past Discius' security golems. Discius is protected by a seemingly impenetrable force field that does not give even when Sekai attacks it for hundreds of days in frozen time. Discius claims Lucille and Fury are the last descendants of the Celestials and asks her to join him, but she refuses. The group leaves him and Sekai asks Zaraza for an alliance to take Discius down. She refuses and tries to attack Otomi because she and her sisters experimented on and killed darklings to acquire eternal youth. Sekai moves his group to Shinra where they find that Fury and several other elves have been turned into wooden statues and are being drained of magic to power the city. Discius makes the city rise above the clouds to expose the darklings to sunlight and make them vulnerable. Suddenly, an airship that dwarfs the city appears and vaporizes Discius with an energy cannon, then continually blasts the city and punches holes in it. Unable to evacuate the elves, Sekai contemplates killing himself to reset the timeline, but Lucille starts praying and releases a wave of holy light that launches the darklings out of the city. The airship is still blasting, but Sekai gets an idea on how to fix this. (en)
- Sekai realizes the murderer is a shapeshifting slime creature like Nazar. He enlists Otomi's help and she freezes the creature, then traps it in a jar. It claims the elves must be destroyed in the name of world peace and it arranged for bandits to attack the village if it failed to report. Sekai earns Fury's trust again and brings her to Otomi, whom she identifies as Tomitris Tangelica, an ambassador for the League of Mages. Otomi explains that Shinra's roots are spreading through the land and draining its magic, creating a magic stone shortage outside to replenish the elves' magic stone mines. Fury does not believe her, so Sekai takes her to Shinra and she sees the roots are indeed sucking up magic to produce magic stones. An elf named Discius Orcus oversees the operation to move the magic stones to the mines. Fury asks Sekai to save Aksho, so he has Otomi kill him. He wakes up in the present, then does the trial a fourth time to return to the past. He and Otomi trap the slime creature before it can kill Aksho, then he shows Fury the magic stone conspiracy. She offers a huge magic stone as a peace offering to the League. Sekai captures the bandits and leaves them to be arrested. Sekai and Otomi try to transport the magic stone via her flying broomstick, but Discius knocks them out of the sky with a gravity spell. The magic stone does not fall due to a long-lasting gravity spell. Otomi uses ice to break their fall, then Sekai captures Discius and Fury arrests him. Fury promises to meet him again. Realizing history will not change if he dies, Sekai takes Otomi to the tower and bathhouse with the cockatrice. He lets it petrify him, then Gankichi brings him to Otomi, asking her to guard him until his past self comes to kill the cockatrice. Roughly a year later, the petrification is undone. The timer resets to 3 days. Otomi greets him and shows that the elf village has turned into a floating city, but Discius walks free. He asks her to fly him to the village. (en)
- Sekai does Shinra's test a fifth time to return to the past, but Otomi goes with him. Together with Otomi's past self, they save Aksho and expose Discius' crimes in public, ensuring he remains arrested. Sekai instructs Aksho to alter Fury, Esther, and the bandits' memories to make them think the village was destroyed, burn the village, then have the villagers hide for a year, ensuring that history does not change. In the present, Fury, Esther, and Niña are stunned when the villagers come out of hiding and Fury reunites with Lucille. Otomi's past self, who stayed with the villagers, explains that Sekai and her future self delivered a huge magic stone to the League of Mages, but they never returned. A flashback shows the two successfully delivered the stone and the timer reset to 3 days. When the League's 4 meter tall leader, Veradonna Wizardonia, learned of Sekai's ability to freeze time, she cast her own time magic to slow him down into a statue and had him imprisoned, declaring only she is allowed to control time. Otomi protested, but Veradonna and her followers threatened her, so she sadly went home. Fury and Niña go to Belltree to ask for help. Princess Clau and her party agree to help, except for her mage who refuses to oppose the League, so they sail to Mount Cape to ask Lovisa to open a portal for them. Lovisa's portal takes them a day away from the League's headquarters and they must immediately fight off monsters. Veradonna and her followers detect the portal and ask who would dare challenge the League. (en)
- Sekai does research and learns time beyond the Nether Gate moves slower than in the normal world, so he persuades the others to let him cross it, then open it during the full moon. Ranga follows him and they fend off monsters until the gate reopens. Lovisa performs the ritual, but Tutoom is only resurrected briefly. He says the land of Goido holds the answer. They go there and find a crashed meteorite made of healing stone. They collect it and equip all of Mount Cape's soldiers with weapons enhanced by the stone, allowing them to slay the darklings when they invade. Sekai captures Zaraza and humiliates her, causing the darklings to retreat. When the King of Darkness appears, Niña directs Bahamut to obliterate him with a fireball, but it was just his avatar. With the invasion halted, the timer resets to 10 days. Sekai releases Zaraza, who leaves. After a celebration, a ship bearing the shaman Miria arrives and says her island, Offshore Rope, needs help, so the group agrees to go with her. Before they leave, the witches gift Sekai with the finished mana restoring potion. (en)
- Sekai gives Miria the potion so she can maintain a holy barrier to protect the ship from the darklings, then passes the time by telling everybody stories from Earth. Meanwhile, as Leafa reports to her superiors, Miria's sister Mirei asks for help and she agrees. As they arrive on the island, Miria explains their elderly king, Nazar, made a law forcing all women to wear only swimsuits in public and made the island a truce zone, allowing darklings as citizens. The new ruler will be decided in a doubles beach volleyball tournament. Two darklings, the Gagankel sisters, Vivia and Gilina, make it clear that if they win, they will order a monolith that is the source of all healing magic destroyed. Leafa and Mirei arrive and meet the others. They learn that every summer solstice, the monolith opens for a week to reveal a labyrinth with a sacred treasure. The summer solstice is today and they go there to find Nazar sent his soldiers to find the treasure as well. Sekai enters with Gankichi to find the labyrinth has rivers of lava. (en)
- Sayuki's ninja bodyguard Mikage is also her body double, so Sekai persuades her to join the volleyball tournament with Ranga as her partner so that Sayuki can become the new queen and remove the humiliating swimsuit law. During the tournament, Sekai liberally uses his time freeze to cheat or expose other players' cheating. Meanwhile, Leafa returns to the Japanese village to battle the vampires, deducing that the tunnel is a portal to another location and that the village is inside the Realm of Darkness, which is why the sun will not rise. It is a stalemate because the vampires can heal and pull themselves together if sliced apart. In the final match against the Gagankel sisters, Sekai has Miria substitute for Ranga and blast the field with healing magic to weaken the sisters. (en)
- Miria ultimately cannot bring herself to hurt anyone and substitutes Ranga back in, resulting in the Gagankel sisters winning. Leafa returns and everyone realizes Sayuki's hand mirror is the real sacred treasure. They also learn Sayuki is Miria and Mirei's half-sister because their now deceased mother Marina once entered the labyrinth, found the mirror, then entered the Japanese village and married Sayuki's father. At Vivia's coronation ceremony, Sekai shows the mirror to Nazar, revealing he is a shapeshifting slime monster who replaced the real Nazar years ago and works for the Forces of Darkness. Suddenly, a volcano erupts and blocks out the sun with ash, allowing the vampires, who had bitten and turned the salamander and centipede, to invade. Leafa, Ranga, Mikage, Niña, and Bahamut battle them, but Nazar picks Sekai's pocket for his controller and slashes his stomach. Fury forces him to retreat and recovers the controller, then finds the Life Stone fell out of Sekai's wound. She tries to heal him with it, but it does not work. Miria suddenly strips and kisses Sekai on the lips. (en)
- The trio rescues kidnapped girls from being raped by goblins. Cornelius, the father of one of the girls, Fiona, offers them hospitality as thanks. The timer resets to 3 days. While looking for a new job, Sekai humiliates a belligerent man and woman by stripping them naked. Watching this, Leafa deduces Sekai was the one who stripped and stole from her and attacks him, proving fast enough to strike him just as he freezes time. He placates her by begging for mercy. The trio takes a job to investigate a tower and bathhouse where the inhabitants have been turned to stone. After Fury teaches him how, Sekai summons a golem he names Gankichi as an assistant as it can move while time is frozen. They realize the inhabitants were petrified by a cockatrice living in the tower. Sekai attacks it, but is petrified. Fortunately, Gankichi kills it, undoing all the petrification. Sekai then uses his time freeze to ogle all the women in the bathhouse. (en)
- Sekai and Gankichi navigate the labyrinth to find the treasure guarded by a massive flaming salamander. Unable to defeat it, they enter a tunnel guarded by a centipede monster and arrive in a Japanese village under attack by an army of vampires. He rescues Princess Sayuki Takegawa and everyone who is still alive and stakes the vampires, but she says the only thing that can truly kill them is sunlight, and the sun has not risen in days. He finds an invisible wall around the village and breaks it to return to the island, then enlists his allies' help. Leafa and Ranga lure the salamander into the tunnel to make it fight the centipede. Niña unlocks the treasure to reveal a mirror, but Fury realizes it is fake. Sekai takes all the villagers to the island and seals the breach in the wall to prevent the vampires from following. Miria agrees to take the villagers in as refugees. The timer resets to 3 days. (en)
- Shinra subjects Sekai to a trial to retrieve a sacred sword from a monster-filled maze, but when he succeeds, he is sent to the past when the village was still thriving. Unfortunately, the elves attack him on sight for being a human and shoot him with arrows. He wakes up back in the present unharmed, but Esther and Fury have no memory of seeing him. Annoyed, he does the trial a second time to return to the past and discovers Fury with her little sister Lucille. Deciding his mission is to prevent Lucille's death, he meets them and gains their trust, learning he is roughly a year in the past. Their aunt reports that Aksho Law, a member of the village's council, which is debating on whether to let outsiders in, was just murdered. While investigating the crime scene, Sekai is shocked to see one of the witches that he got the mana restoring potion from is floating in the sky. He meets the witch, Otomi, and convinces her of his story. To help him get a do-over, she kills him with an ice spell, making him wake up in the present. Again, Fury has no memory of meeting him, but when he declares he will save Aksho and the village, Esther falls in love with him to Fury's jealousy. Sekai does the trial a third time and returns to the past, before Aksho was killed, and observes him. Aksho's throat suddenly gets slashed as if by magic. (en)
- The dragon Bahamut attacks them on their voyage. Learning his controller can control its movements, Sekai defeats it and it agrees to serve him. At Mount Cape, they learn the king is a young boy advised by the witch Lovisa, who explain the city is attacked by monstrous ghouls every night. As Sekai slays the ghouls, Leafa infiltrates the castle to learn her old teacher, Swordmaster Magnus, had been transformed into a monster, only for Lovisa to drop her down a trapdoor into the sewers where the ghouls hide. Sekai saves her and slays all the ghouls, then the group infiltrates the castle. They learn Lovisa is using a portal to the afterlife called the Nether Gate to experiment with resurrecting the dead, but each attempt makes the subject mutate into a monster and spawns ghouls from the Nether Gate. As Leafa battles the monsters, including Magnus, Sekai captures Lovisa and strips her, but finds notes concealed on her body that say they are on the same side. (en)
