While continuing their journey, the junior party takes the East Sea Road per Shiroe's suggestion as the fastest way to get to the Redstone Mountains. As they approach the next town, the party decides to further push their horse summonings until their time limit runs out, and are eventually left stranded on the roadside, forcing them to make camp. Meanwhile, Rieze describes her struggle to maintain D.D.D. in Krusty's absence and Log Horizon and the Crescent Moon Alliance pledge their aid should she require it.
