Following Timcampy on the continued search for General Cross, Allen and Lenalee reunite with Lavi and Krory in the Bulgarian town of Rose Dorina which is celebrating the Rose Festival. Lavi tells them the total number of casualties in the war against the Millennium Earl, and how one of the Exorcists was killed by a Noah. Meanwhile, the Millennium Earl talks with Road about his concern with General Cross. During the night, Allen tells Lavi about the people he could and could not save, but with the help of Lavi, realizes the true reason why they fight. The next day as they prepare to leave, a beautiful blonde woman is seen watching them from a tower before she transforms into a black cat.
