Plot
Reina, Adele, Mavis, and Pauline all finish off their hunting of Horned Rabbits and enjoy lunch together. Pauline comments on how food tastes better when you eat it outdoors with good friends. Adele then claims that she used to eat outside with her former classmates. They, however, would have to do it in a secretive fashion. Reina then inquires as to why Adele had to leave the Academy she was in and she answers that she "careless" again.

A flashback to a year and two months after Adele enrolled in the academy, the bread shop owners thank Adele for all of her hard work. An old lady comments how a young man always comes by to purchase bread when she's around and Adele snaps at the comment. The bread shop owner pays Adele for the day and as she heads home she sees a crowd gathered by the main street. A modishly dressed woman informs Adele that the 3rd Princess' carriage will be passing through. A horse-drawn carriage with six knights, two on horses four on foot, guard the carriage as it passes through. Fascinated by its appearance, Adele witnesses a boy accidentally fall in front of the carriage. A young knight strikes the child all while chastising him. Adele then leaps into action and protects the boy by grabbing him and casts a barrier that surrounds them without chanting.

The young knight astonished by this magical feat is left in sheer disbelief. An older knight on horseback gets off his horse and tries to attack the barrier with his spear but its tip breaks off. The Nano-machine informs Adele that, the kind of magic Adele just cast has not been introduced into the world yet. Therefore, she's most certainly be taken in for experiments and such. Cogitating over her present situation, the two knights demand to know whether Adele is either a Monster or Demon.

So Adele breaks the barrier and proclaims herself as an avatar of the divine. The older knight unconvinced of her words orders his subordinates to capture Adele. So in her defense, she chantlessly casts a lightning spell perturbing the knights. Using multiple spells, Adele sprouts wings on her back and manages to speak one of two choices, before the princess intervenes. The princess proclaims she'll take upon herself any repercussions her knights have caused, much to the older knight's dismay. In an act of leniency, Adele proclaims that she'll forgive this act this one time but still holds the young knight accountable for his actions. Before she leaves Adele requests that the divinity be kept a secret to the "vessel" she inhabits and to not tell a soul as to what had occurred there. The king, however, is made an exception due to the request of the princess. Furthermore, Adele as the Divine requests food and financial aid for her vessel and it is approved of.

Adele then uses healing magic on the unconscious child and three maids witnessing this praise Adele for her benevolence. Adele the Divine then holds everyone to keep their promises and "awakens" as Adele. She is then immediately paid a sack of money by the older knight. Adele diverts this money to the young boy and is then paid by another young knight as compensation. The crowd surrounding her takes extols Adele for her actions as Divine, while Adele is happy she managed to control the situation without incident.

This, however, changes when she learns that she has been summoned by the king. To hopefully remedy this situation, she informs the messenger about her family situation and the messenger understands and takes his leave. Marcela, Monika, and Aureana all see how Adele is doing as she was called away amid class. Adele brushes this off as a mistake and then resolutely decides to make her leave.
