Later, Duoct attacks Mayuri, and during the fight it is revealed that the Saki who is ordering Duoct around is a Horror posing as her while the real Saki is inside Duoct's body.

Raiga is informed of the advent of the Horror Granda, but despite knowing the location, it is uncertain when it will appear, and thus Raiga and Mayuri leave to stand guard for its arrival. Before leaving, Raiga suggests to Gonza that he take the day off, but the butler offers some sandwiches for them to eat, and Mayuri claims that she cannot tell him how good it is because as a magic tool, she has no sense of taste. Gonza then spends his break with his old friend Anna. While out with her, Gonza expresses to Anna his attachment to Mayuri and his will to make her smile. Anna then suggests that he make Mayuri the special soup of the Saezima family. Elsewhere, Granda finally manifests itself and Mayuri recognizes it as one of the Horrors from the slate, but it still does not carry Eyrith's seed. As the Horror is defeated by Raiga and sealed by Mayuri, Gonza finishes cooking the soup, but feels it is not enough to please Mayuri until he has a plan. After Mayuri and Raiga return home, Gonza serves them the soup, and remembering how Mayuri smiled for a while while looking at a Makai painting, he asks Anna, who made the painting, to make a magic drawing on the plate, and she smiles just as Gonza expected. Gonza mentions that the soup is a special recipe exclusive to the members of the Saezima family, implying that he recognizes her as a part of it.

It is Raiga's birthday and as Gonza explains to Mayuri and Crow that making the cake is one of the duties Kaoru left to him, Raiga dreams about of the events that took place four years after his parents' disappearance. Injuring himself while training, Raiga met a Makai Priestess who heals while warning him of weak Makai Knights getting killed. Back at home, Gonza asks Raiga which cake he wants for his birthday party, but he refuses to celebrate it. Later at night, Raiga is visited by Rei Suzumura, who tests his strength before taking him on a Horror hunt. After Raiga correctly deduces that a woman sitting in the park is a Horror's vessel, on the grounds that she was reading in the dark, Rei lends the boy a Madō Lighter to have him handle her. Once he exposes the Horror, with Rei watching from afar, Raiga emulates Rei's fighting style against the Horror before she overpowers him. Luckily, Rei intervenes and forces the Horror into her true form before slaying the monster in front of Raiga. Soon after, Rei presents Raiga the choice to live a normal life or take the dangerous path of a Makai Knight as his apprentice. Raiga accepts and the two resume the Horror hunt. The next day, Raiga meets the Makai Priestess on the way home, thanking her for her help before giving her a present while learning someone dear to her has embarked on a dangerous journey. Upon returning home, Rei explains to a worried Gonza that he promised Kouga to train Raiga once he turned 10 and, as Raiga sleeps while they finished the preparations for the boy's birthday, Rei informs the butler that he will search for Kouga and Kaoru once their son's training is complete. Raiga then reminisces celebrating his birthday with Gonza and Rei and upon awakening at the present time, he does so with Gonza, Mayuri, and Crow as well.

Recognizing the figure, Crow gives chase after the figure left while leaving a foreboding message that everything will begin soon. Raiga, after sending Mayuri home, approaches Jiiru and learns the mysterious man to be a Makai Knight of the Senate named Eiji Busujima. Raiga also learns that Busujima is the holder of the title Giru the Evil Bone Knight and is Crow's mentor. Though he refuses to accept Crow may have spying for Busujima, Raiga agrees that finding Busujima and sealing Eyrith is essential while asking for Mayuri's freedom once it is over. At the same, sensing Eyrith entering its final Horror host, Mayuri leaves Saezima Manor to find it. Eventually, after a confrontation with his mentor, Crow finds Raiga and tells him that Busujima needs Eyrith to bring back someone from the dead. While it would be impossible, Crow remembered the first time he met Mayuri while under Busujima and that his mentor mentioned it is possible she can also seal human souls. The two Makai Knights realize Mayuri is targeted by Busujima and attempt to find her. However, after knocking out the Ady Slate Horror Jienda, Busujima captures Mayuri and proceeds to extract Eyrith's seed from Jienda. Awakened as a result, the Makai Knight promising to allow the Horror to bloom, Eyrith agrees to grant Busujima's wish to bring back his lover as she uses a strain of the woman's hair to produce her body in her root. But Mayuri consciously opens her gate to enable Raiga and Crow to pinpoint her location with the contained Horror essence. However, leaving Mayuri with Eyrith, Busujima confronts Raiga and Crow to keep them from preventing the revival of his beloved Akari: The Makai Priestess that Raiga met as a child.
