Cecil, Natsuna, Koromo, Tsunomi, Mitsuhisa and Seseri take a long flight to Boston for training purposes. Seseri tells Natsuna to drive Cecil to Canada in order to allow Cecil to visit her father. However, Natsuna is surprised when the car that was lent to her was not properly maintained. As they continue their trip past sundown, Cecil and Natsuna pick up a hitchhiker named Kaede, who is studying abroad to become a wizard barrister. The three of them discuss their thoughts on the need for wizard barristers, and Cecil later reveals that she started her law studies at age thirteen. After having a picnic, Natsuna recounts her past affair with a married professor when she attended college, and Kaede reminisces about when she stargazed with her father a lot when she was younger. Cecil explains that her mother Megumi Sudo is on death row for using magic as self-defense against criminals. The next day, the three of them finally cross the border into Canada. They go inside a restaurant, only to encounter a wanted homicidal killer named Geir Grimm, but they are luckily saved by Kiba and Shibuki.
