Captain wakes up to see Rozaliya and Liliya above him, but their figures are soon replaced by fragmented memories of his past adventures. The flux of images is interrupted by Kongming's appearance. The two talk about the three kingdoms and how the Captain found the wish granter, yet failed to return to his world. Another attempt to send him back was about to be performed and as they bid their farewells, Kongming mentions that Captain strongly reminds her of certain someone.
The formation must have failed as rather than aboard Hyperion, Captain finds himself in damaged ruins. Panicked Theresa, disguised as Kongming, runs into him and the two try to make a run for it to escape enemies on their tail. They fail and both get captured by Emberyan soldiers.

Rozaliya
Lili Lili! Look, this one is awake!
Liliya
Da, Roza Roza. You're right.
Two voices rushed to my ears the moment I woke up.
One is cold, tired and the other one is warm and peppy... but both are unmistakably teen girl voices.
My senses gradually returned to me as my body fought against the numbness.
What happened? Where am I now?
Though I didn't have the answers to these questions, my past experience soon laid out a simple fact for me.
Another stupid ponzi scheme with hot girls.
Captain
I'll just get back to sleep. Nothing good for me after I open my eyes.
Rozaliya
Lili! Look, this one is trying to escape from reality. Did you hear those words, Lili?
Liliya
Da, Roza. It sounds like what losers would say. I heard everything.
Captain
Ahem. So you did hear me.
Captain
But you can never wake someone pretending to be asleep.
Captain
Shameful but... eh?
Captain
(What's with this strong sense of deja vu?)

Arch Imperator
I've traveled the mountains and seas for many seasons... I tried many things, and failed many times...
Arch Imperator
Just before I decided to give up...
Arch Imperator
I heard about the Holy Writings describing a God who can fulfill any wish.
Arch Imperator
So again I traveled the mountains and seas...
Liliya
Skip the boring repetitions, please.
Arch Imperator
Ahem...
Captain
...Fu Hua?! Why are you dressed like...
No, I know it. She is not her.
The Arch Imperator of the Holy Schicksal Empire - the part she now plays in this world fragment.

Rita
Here we go.
Rita
Allow me to re-introduce myself.
Rita
I'm a bound handmaiden of the Forbidden Citadel...
Grand Chancellor of Emberya... even now she couldn't seem to shake off her maiden identity.
A lot happened the last time, and I miss it dearly.
Wait... miss?
It's all very recent, but why do I...

Corsair Queen
You're just a fish for gutting and salting.
Corsair Queen
So are you a fool trying to look brave?
I'd rather be a reckless fool...
If you could somehow return to the lady leaning by the bar and throwing drunken words at me.

Yae Sakura
Thank goodness...
Yae Sakura
You're finally awake.
Captain
The beach, the island... This is...
Ah, I remember now!
It's an unplanned adventure.

Water Djinn
Leave me alone, human.
Water Djinn
Be my slave, and I'll keep you alive till the end of the world.
The Water Djinn dwelling alone in the Desert Pyramid.

Seele
I didn't! Stop getting so close to me.
The girl venturing alone to find her big sister.

Bronya
Seele, I'm sorry...
And the Rime Witch freezing the battlefield to seal the Colossus.

Zhuge Kongming
Humph, finally starting to remember?
Ah, now I remember.
Captain
Where three kingdoms were warring with each other for the ancient ruins that kept the legendary wish granter.
Zhuge Kongming
Exactly. You won the wish granter, but somehow you ended up losing the opportunity to return to where you belong.
Captain
The thoughtful chancellor told me she Grand Seeress gained immortality as the finder of the wish granter.
Captain
She might teach me how to travel to other isekai worlds.
Zhuge Kongming
My tried and true formation should have worked like a charm.
Zhuge Kongming
In the end, your pathetic obsession brought much uncertainty to the system and even I suffered from your idiocy.
Captain
Oh, maybe deep down, I've always wanted to stay... in a world where I don't belong, but everyone is safe and sound.
Captain
It's a world where people come and go. Perhaps we just couldn't handle farewells.
Zhuge Kongming
"Couldn't handle farewells"? That sounds familiar.
Zhuge Kongming
But the only reason I'm here is to end this farce once and for all.
Zhuge Kongming
It's time to go, Captain.
Captain
Can you answer me one last question?
Zhuge Kongming
Let me hear it.
Captain
When it happened, you knew the formation went wrong but you didn't back up from it.
Captain
Instead, you stepped right into our mess and ended up here with us. Why?
Zhuge Kongming
Why would I care about...
Zhuge Kongming
Ahem... saving one life is equal to saving the world world... that's the empress's way.
Captain
And?
Zhuge Kongming
And for some uncanny reason, you always remind me of someone I used to know, even though you look nothing alike.
Zhuge Kongming
I'm just slightly intrigued by you, the self-professed "Captain".
Zhuge Kongming
No worries. There is plenty of time for you to know me in the coming days...
Captain
Coming days? Wait...
Captain
Huff... Kong... ming...
I indulged myself in oxygen like a drowned person with one hand clenching to the rescue raft.
Captain
Huff... huff...
[[File:|720px]]
With Kongming and the other images from the past still lingering on my retinas, I could hardly see what lay before me.
Captain
Ho... this is...
A cold and rough pain attacked my palms. Seems like my senses came back faster than my brain.
Very soon, the flashing images settled down and became solid memories.
???
Hey!
Some noise came to my ears, but I couldn't make it out.
???
Move aside! Out of my way!
Captain
Right, Kongming blamed me for dragging her into it, but she did promise to send me back to Hyperion.
Captain
This doesn't look like...
???
...What's wrong with you?! You're getting me caught... Damn you!
I felt a violent tug at my arm. Whoever did this seemed in panic, unsure whether to push me aside or pull me up.
