The Seven Rida

Guan Yu, the Rida of the Earth, arrives at the Order. He has a personal vendetta with Mizu for trialing Minori without his attendance. Also, he believed Mizu, being the Rida of the Water, had no part in the trial. Setting the dispute aside, Mizu explains the situation with Izanagi.

Roah's team makes it to a place to refuel on water and they spend the day slouching around. They take turns cleaning up and many events take place. Roah ends up not handing Alcia a sleeping bag, somewhat making her mad. At night she goes to bathe and she looks up to see Reno looking down on her. He runs away and was actually only just meditating there before she arrived.

In the day time, Alcia teases Reno. Shiro and Rita plan on bathing next, but Shiro forces himself to go first, not caring for Rita at this point. Alcia goes to call him stubborn, but in no real effort to make a point. She leaves, and afterward, Rita finally gets to go to the water, now upset for Shiro taking so long.

The group is ambushed while leaving, forcing Rita from her bath. She is caught out while dressing when they are attacked. Shiro is knocked out and Reno is dropkicked from the cliff. Rita rushed to rehabilitate Shiro, performing mouth-to-mouth. Alcia takes down the assaulters and learns they work for Izanagi. They learn that they were to bring the Sprite to the Windland's, but they cannot go because they are now trapped in the barrier.

They are unsure on how to escape, or what to do. Eventually, Alcia mentions that the two attackers survival might prompt Izanagi's arrival.

The 7 Rida finally all gather 6 days after the departure of the group. Afraid of the mission's failure, Mizu assigns himself, Guan Yu, the Lightning Rida-ki, and Rin to go on a mission to get the Sprite personally. They leave immediately, leaving the other three Rida in charge
