Homeron informs Shu and Co. about Delphinium who is a Secret Intelligence Agent from Gran Kingdom responsible for the theft of the Extra 7. The group then sees the warships of Sabalu Country (which used to be part of Gran Kingdom) passing. Zola concludes that they give the Sabalu Country airships a warm welcome when the Warship Norg is amongst the Gran Kingdom ships. They managed to obtain one of its Mechats for that action. As the battle starts, they find the Norg and Shu uses Blue Dragon to get Homeron on board. When Kluke lands the ship on the Norg, a fight between the robotic soldiers ensues. Homeron manages to gain some information and prevent the Norg from crashing. He then tries to get info from the ship's captain on where it took Delphinium. When he does squeal that General Logi has the Extra 7, the Norg starts to descend to the ground.

Shu and Kluke continue their fight with General Logi and Valkyrie. Marumaro is knocked unconscious by the attacks launched by Schneider's Isabel and Andropov's Alubujem. Luckily, Zola arrives to help Jiro. Meanwhile, Bouquet uses her invisibility to sneak onto Logi's ship and reclaim the Extra 7. Kluke falls unconscious after an attack that broke Valkyrie's shield (whose left wing ends up cut off in the process). The power surge of Blue Dragon's battle with Valkyrie results in a power surge that breaks the glass that's holding the pages. An invisible Bouquet seizes them, but runs into Delphinium who managed to detect her. Logi and Valkyrie managed to bring down Blue Dragon, but Shu gets enraged enough to bring Blue Dragon up to a powerful level. Andropov and Schneider managed to get Logi out of there at the last minute. A debris from the battle makes a hole in the ship as Bouquet manages to make her escape through it only for Delphinium to use her shadow to snatch back the Extra 7 at the last minute. However, Bouquet managed to memorize them enough for her to use Hippopotamus' shape-shifting to turn into copies of them for Shu and Co. to try and decipher.

Shu and Blue Dragon are sent to the nearest town to find a blacksmith to make a replacement part for the Mechat and also to get supplies. On their way to the nearest village, Shu and Blue Dragon save a boy named Tonto from local bandits whose jewels were taken from Tonto. Upon arriving in the village, Shu meets Tonto's sister who happens to be a blacksmith. Shu has some trouble when Tonto steals tomatoes, potatoes, and apples from three local farmers and Shu had to pay for those. Shu and Tonto get into trouble with Tonto's sister when she finds out that Shu is a Shadow Wielder and Tonto had been stealing again. After dodging her hammer before she collapse in sorrow, Shu learns that Tonto's sister hates Shadow Wielders after recurring attack by Shadow Wielders from Gran Kingdom. When asked why Tonto wants to become a Shadow Wielder, Tonto's sister states that Gran Kingdom returned last year with Ivanov and Gustav demanded tribute. Shu and Tonto's sister get word from one of the farmers that the local bandits have captured Tonto. Shu and Tonto's sister managed to find their hideout as the bandits use a tank and robots they stole from Gran Kingdom to attack Shu and Blue Dragon. Due to Tonto's sister not liking Shadow Wielders, Shu is easily taken down by the bandits and Blue Dragon causes them to retreat. After recuperating, Shu finally gets that replacement part for the Mechat and defeats the bandits before rejoining with the others.

During their search for Jiro, Shu runs across news of a small war about to happen between a Rosekstan sub fleet led by Captain Varenko and a small band of resistance led by Captain Crester (one of the surviving members of Grand Kingdom). The party continues forward anyway hoping not to get found, leading to the combination of Saber Tiger and Hippopotamus with the 'stealth mode'. During but a few moments, Crester's band of resistance were eliminated. It was then suddenly Micheal appears before Crester and grant him the power to call his own Wyvern-like shadow allowing him to devastate General Logi's sub fleet. Having found out that the shadow that Crester wields is different from the normal Shadows and the Artificial Shadows used by Grand Kingdom, Shu's party steps in to defeat Crester. After defeating Saber Tiger and Hippopotamus, Crester faces off against Shu and Blue Dragon. After Crester is defeated, Shu, Bouquet, and Marumaro learn about the 'Dragon scales' Mikhail handed out which can grant miraculous powers to the user. They then overhear one of the Rosekstan soldiers tell Captain Varenko that they lost contact with General Logi.

The mysterious woman before now known to be named Lotarus is shown to be one of seven shadowy dragon from the castle in the sky. She is given freedom to re-judge the people of the world even after her ordeal with Logi. She runs into Mikhail and tells him that she will handle the next test. In Logic, Shu is at the library looking up while Bouquet takes Marumaro and Noi out shopping for groceries. After Marumaro and Noi ditch Bouquet, she runs into Lotarus (who uses the alias of Lota) who becomes curious about her. She asks what Bouquet wished for if she had power, but she replies that she already has everything she wants. Meanwhile, Shu finds nothing on where the dragon sightings are. Bouquet finishes her shopping with Lotarus and takes her around town. Shu is still trying to find the sightings of the Red Dragon on the map while recapping what Mikhail said. While Marumaro and Noi are enjoying an ice cream cone, Noi ends up noticing Lotarus near Bouquet. Noi runs off to tell Shu that Bouquet might be in danger. Shu even recaps about Xie telling him about a woman floating over the waters when Albarose was destroyed. While in the park, Lotarus forges a Dragon Scale Pendant behind her back and begins to offer it to Bouquet stating that it will give Bouquet what she wishes for. But before Bouquet can accept Lotarus' gift, Shu cuts in and identifies Lotarus as being in the same race as Mikhail. As Shu unleashes Blue Dragon, Lotarus ends up unleashing her shadow that resembles a white dragon with pink wings. Shu and Blue Dragon fight Lotarus as she states about the Dragon Scale tests causing Shu to recap the incidents with Crester and the moving pyramid. Lotarus states that the Dragon Scale tests were done by Mikhail and that Mikhail had been watching him. Right when Shu and Lotarus are about to make their next move, Bouquet interferes causing the match to be a draw. Before she departs, she tell Shu and Bouqet to tell Noi to make his decision as well. Later that evening, Shu gets Marumaro and tells them that they are going to find Mikhail who is spotted nearby the wetlands at the edge of Logic.

The mysterious person sends Shu's group to a nearby village where they meet up with Jiro and Xie (who first appeared to them as a fruit vendor). Meanwhile at Nirvana, the White Guardians still experiment with their Brunacks on Black Shadows Type-Two with unsuccessful results. Back with Shu and Co., they tell Jiro and Xie what they know about the Investiture Beings. Jiro also informs them that Delphinium is working with the White Guardians and what the White Guardians has been up to recently. They also explain that they've been finding out more about the White Guardians and even interrogated a former member of Gran Kingdom. Meanwhile, General Logi and Matilda flashback to their close call with Lotarus as they view their new giant robots. As the sides of General Logi and Dr. Tarkovsky prepare for battle as the Investiture Beings each watch from a distance, Shu decides to get involved.
