With the picture-book production in full sway, Main must navigate several hurdles regarding the process and, more pressingly, Wilma's condition.

Autumn has come to a close. Main starts selling the scripture picture books, gets asked by the apprentice blacksmith Johann to be his patron, and starts taking the next step in her bookmaking endeavors. While this is going on, Main finds out that the guild master of the Ink Guild, Wolf, is trying to get information on her. Benno then proposes an idea to Main and...

The knight Damuel has become Main's bodyguard. Now that she's able to go places, Main is excited about going to the library. They hold the Dedication Ceremony where she offers her mana into small holy grails. That was quite tiring for her, but she still goes back into town to see how Johann is doing with her order. Her passion for books just doesn't top. Spring is drawing closer, and Main can't wait to go back to her family, but then she receives some devastating news.

On the way home from Heidi's workshop, they hear the emergency bells sound through the city as well as see a red emergency flare go up into the sky. Main is worried about what might've happened. It is decided that Main should stay home until they can find out what is going on. Main gets to spend some time with her family back home again. After a while, Main is finally allowed back outside and heads to the cathedral. Once she gets there, she realizes Dirk is missing, and unbeknownst to her, there was another threat lurking just around the corner!
