Kazuma and the others manage to lure the kite hawks into a cave and deal with them all at once, only to cause more trouble for the other travellers later when Aqua attracts some zombies. The party finally arrives at Arcanretia, which turns out to be the hometown of the Axis Church that Aqua founded. While taking in some sightseeing, Kazuma and Darkness are constantly pestered by the fanatic Axis worshipping residents, who keep trying to convert them to their church while looking down on Darkness for worshipping Eris.
