Plot
Naofumi, Raphtalia, Filo, Raph-chan and Rishia are departing from Lurolona Village, with a small bouquet of white lillies - and Keel is quite upset that she couldn't come along, and now Eclair and "Granny" must comfort her. As they go fishing, and Rishia tries to start a small fire, Filo suddenly cannot fly anymore (though Filolials normally cannot fly), though she could as the "humming fairy" from Glass's World. Raphtalia and Rishia start remembering good times they had together in that world - for example, when Raphtalia was trying different styles of clothes and armor with Kizuna's help.

Meanwhile, Kizuna is also fishing with Chris and Yomogi, where the Hunting Hero tells her stories about her adventures with Naofumi's party while now working to restore relations between Ruware and the surrounding nations. Yomogi asks Kizuna about her time as a prisoner in the Infinite Labyrinth, in which she attempted several escapes, all fruitless, and she couldn't cook the local fishes or even tried to commit suicide in order to alleviate her boredom. Then, while "talking" to a ball with a painted face, she "learnt" the correct way to cook her meals, not just fishes. Until that day, when Naofumi's party appeared into the Labyrinth, Kizuna felt the time flowing again, meaning she had a new chance to escape.

Yomogi tells Kizuna that her "partner" (the ball with the painted face) was her survival tool inside the Labyrinth, and sadly associates that with what Kyo meant to her as her childhood friend. Yomogi tries to remember old times when Kyo still wasn't twisted by her thirst for the Spirit Tortoise's power. Indeed, the last happy moments she had with Kyo - including a funny incident where he couldn't even find his own reading glasses - were all before he went to Raphtalia's World in search of the Spirit Tortoise's power. Sun sets, and they have one more task for that day.

Back to Raphtalia's World, Filo once again tries to fly (even though Filolials cannot fly in this world), wagon attached and all. Dismayed, she agrees on walking the longer path around the mountain. Rishia remembers how Ost Horai's gravity magic could help them, and the girls start remembering the good times they had with Ost - mostly, the somewhat bizarre and twisted advice Ost could give about "intimacy".

A new day starts, Naofumi's party soon arrives at the beautiful green meadow created by the Spirit Tortoise's purification, and the Shield Hero throws the white lillies as a memento to Ost's sacrifice and the party prays in respectful silence. As they prepare to leave, Naofumi sees Ost's illuminated spirit, waving her farewell to him.
