Tyone is shocked—he can’t understand why his dear daughter is conspiring against him. Regardless, Tyone knows he can’t afford to be killed now, so he bolts from the underground room. But as soon as he escapes, he’s immediately confronted by Ulishia and Liselotte.
Liselotte steps forward, revealing that she knows his entire plan revolves around his sick daughter Famil, who suffers from an aging syndrome. She wants Tyone to understand that there is no known way to dispel the curse on Famil, and even if he were to succeed somehow, the damage is already done. But Tyone already knows this—and that’s why he planned to use Hildigard’s cells to create a drug for eternal youth.
Still, Tyone refuses to give up. He tells Liselotte that he’s gone against the entire world to save his precious daughter’s life. While explaining this, he accidentally reveals that he’s been acting under the orders of one particular man. That man has now told him to sell his soul and summon a demon, insisting it’s the only remaining way to save Famil, as time is running out.
Desperate, Tyone doesn’t hesitate. He performs the summoning ritual, activating a forbidden magic circle. However, the demon fails to appear—sending Tyone into despair. Frustrated, he shouts that he used a ley line under this floor to power the magic circle.
Hearing this, Liselotte suddenly realizes the problem—the flow of the ley lines must have shifted the other day when the hot spring was dug up, and that disrupted the circle. Tyone assumes Liselotte did it intentionally to sabotage him. Though it wasn’t her plan, Liselotte doesn’t mind being seen as a sharp and cunning princess.
Just then, Hildigard enters. It’s clear she’s here to kill Tyone. Liselotte asks Hilda if she’s the same girl they heard about from Soulflare. Since Liselotte and Ulishia know about Soulflare, Hildigard realizes they must be friends of Kurt. She vents, albeit subtly, about how they’ve been looking after her dear Kurt while she was imprisoned.
In response, Liselotte also vents—asking if it’s true that Hilda took care of Kurt decades ago. The moment turns awkwardly intense as the two women instantly become rivals in love, engaging in a silent but fiery staring contest. Thankfully, Ulishia steps in to calm them both down. She asks where Kurt is.
Hildigard, unwilling to admit she paralyzed him, lies and says she asked him to stay on the floor below—so he wouldn’t have to witness what’s about to happen.
Then, with all patience lost, Hildigard draws her sword and points it directly at Tyone. Both she and Famil have concluded that if they don’t eliminate him, he will summon a demon and wreak havoc on the peaceful human kingdom.
Hildigard asks if he really thinks Famil would be happy being saved in exchange for the deaths of thousands of innocent people. Tyone, finally grasping the weight of the situation, understands that his daughter agreed—with great pain—to have him killed. Still, he doesn’t care. Even if it costs him his life—or the entire world’s—he wants his daughter to get back the life that was wrongly stolen from her.
That’s it—he won’t stop. Famil lifts her sword, ready to do the unthinkable.
But then, to everyone’s shock, a younger version of Famil enters the room.
No one can believe it—how is she back in her teenage form, when Liselotte herself said reversing age was impossible?
Well, the answer is simple: Kurt did it.
How, you ask? As absurd as it sounds—he made her eat his hot springs bun.
Speaking of Kurt, the paralysis spell is finally starting to wear off. He can now move his face, but not much else. So he asks Akuri to give him the brown vial in his bag. It contains Panacea pills—a single one is enough to cure him completely.
Back upstairs, Tyone has calmed down after getting his daughter back. But this isn’t a happy ending. He has committed unforgivable crimes against the kingdom and humanity. As royalty, Liselotte steps forward to sentence him.
However, Famil jumps in, taking all the blame onto herself to protect her father. Moved by this, Liselotte decides to overlook most of Tyone‘s crimes. She gives him only a minor punishment: from now on, he must serve the Atelier and use his skills for good.
Liselotte then turns to Hildigard, requesting a formal discussion. She promises Hilda will be released—along with Soulflare—once their conversation is over. But before that, Ulishia wants to bring Kurt up here to erase the ominous magic circle using his ridiculously overpowered broom.
But the drama isn’t over yet.
Suddenly, the man who manipulated Tyone from the shadows appears. Hildigard immediately recognizes him—he is Scriptor, a demon whose job is to manipulate reality from the shadows.
Tyone explains that Scriptor came to him with Hildigard already captured, told him what to do with her, and guided him on how to summon a demon.
Scriptor confirms this. He even laments how all of his grand plans—including the plot to use the Poland Church’s priest to assassinate Liselotte—have failed. These two cases, he says, are the only times his “scripts” were ever overwritten. And he wants to know how.
He then reveals something devastating: he was the one who placed the aging curse on Famil in the first place.
Learning this, Tyone furiously tries to punch Scriptor.
But, of course, trying to punch a well-scripted demon is futile—and he should’ve known better.
Ulysia comes next and also fails to break through the barrier between her and the Scriptor—at first. But by channeling the power of her holy sword, she manages to create a crack in it, which impresses the Scriptor. Unwilling to deal with someone like her, he follows the script he had written for this event and spills the contents of a bottle onto the ground. He coldly tells them that their nightmare is just beginning, and the hope they once clung to is now slowly turning into despair.
Liselot watches as the magic circle activates—signaling the summoning of a demon. As the Scriptor vanishes, the summoned demon appears, and to make things worse, it’s one they have a history with: the Demon Lord they had once defeated.
Now resurrected and burning with rage, he declares that revenge is just a fraction of what he desires—he intends to annihilate them completely. He admits they had outsmarted him in the past, but reminds them that demons are spiritual beings. They only beat him before because he had exhausted his reserves. This time, he has returned at full power.
Liselot summons her courage and charges. Ulia joins her, but the Demon Lord quickly knocks them back and stabs them both. He laughs, mocking their hope and scoffing at the idea that they could ever defeat him again.
As he taunts them, Liselot starts to understand. Earlier, he’d mentioned his power had run out before, meaning he draws strength from their weakness. He needs their despair to maintain his power. To defeat him, they must act unfazed and pretend his attacks have no effect.
They try faking smiles, but the pain is overwhelming. Then, thankfully, Kurt arrives—carrying Aurori. He is more amused than afraid. He casually remarks that it’s been a while since he saw a Demon Lord, even joking about rumors that they had gone extinct. He adds that if one appears, others are usually nearby.
This amusement is exactly what Ulysia and Liselot needed. It bruises the Demon Lord’s pride, weakening him by disrupting the despair-based power he was absorbing. They even suspect Kurt might not be pretending—he may genuinely be amused.
Enraged, the Demon Lord throws fire at them, only to be shocked when it rebounds and hits him instead. This is thanks to Aurori’s teleportation magic. Kurt thanks her for the save.
Refusing to retreat, the Demon Lord prepares to launch another attack. Ulia jumps in front of Kurt, remembering how she failed to protect him in the battle against Soulfair. But this time, she refuses to back down. As the demon launches another fireball, she slices it in two with her magic sword. Her determination gives her strength, and her sword transforms into an ice blade. She then summons an Ice Dragon to strike the demon.
Realizing he’s about to lose again, the Demon Lord makes a final attempt—he tries to kill Hildigard using his sharp thongs. But to his shock, the attack dissolves. He’s baffled: these thongs can cut through mithril—how did she survive?
Hildigard pulls out a piece of rock-hard bread from her chest—it had blocked the blow. The Demon Lord is stunned and amused. Who makes bread hard enough to serve as armor? He soon finds out—it was Kurt.
He asks who Kurt really is, but as always, Kurt claims he’s just the Atelier’s cleaner. Yet, the Demon Lord recognizes something familiar in his aura. When Kurt mentions he’s from Hast Village, the Demon Lord lets out a terrified scream and flees, fearing death once again.
Kurt explains that Hast Village was constantly under demon attack, so they developed mechanisms to repel them. That’s why the Demon Lord couldn’t get near him.
Ulysia reflects on how the fight ended—not with overwhelming power, but with the fear of Kurt’s presence.
But just when she sighs in relief, another magic circle activates. More demons emerge. Hildigard explains that the Scriptor’s suppression magic has worn off, and the demons are now here to harvest human souls. Ulia considers fighting them, but Hildigard tells her it’s no use—everyone in the castle is now a target.
At that moment, a servant arrives—carrying Kurt’s buns. The demons charge toward the buns, devour them, and vanish. It turns out this was a planned move.
The servant reports back to the mysterious woman who had ordered this. She reveals the buns weren’t meant to be tasty—they were substitutional sacrifices, shaped like human heads and filled with meat to lure the demons.
The servant is shocked. She explains that if someone can bake something demons crave, that person can potentially summon and control them. That someone, of course, is Kurt.
Normalcy returns.
Margrave Tyon announces that Famil is safe. After Mimiko interrogates Hildigard and Soulfair, she lets them go. The Full Moon Buns shop reopens.
Yet the mysterious woman remains uneasy. She insists that Kurt and Aurori’s existence must be kept secret—it could be dangerous. But someone overhears her.
Weeks later, after adventures in another city, Kurt and the others return to the Atelier—no longer ordinary. Kurt has been granted the title of knight, though he insists he doesn’t deserve it.
Kurt continues to downplay himself, claiming he didn’t even fight the demon and, as always, is just “useless.”
Meanwhile, Liselot is pleased that her plan to make Rikuto the Atelier Master has succeeded. Ulia has now become a Baroness, and even Rikuto has been appointed as Viceroy. With the Margrave’s support, the Atelier is now under noble protection—no one dares attack them anymore.
She then confides that everything she’s done was for Kurt—and that she even dreams of him becoming the Margrave of the city one day.
Elsewhere, Hildigard continues her journey alongside Soulfair. She gazes at the delicate flower Kurt had made for her and recalls their conversation. He had told her he couldn’t get the rainbow he wanted, so he crafted a flower out of orical, believing it to be perfect for a lady.
Hildigard smiles, wondering how someone could be so clueless about what women truly want—and yet, she’s deeply grateful to have met him again after all these years.
The story of Kurt—a tale he humbly calls “common”—is of a boy cast aside by his group for being useless, now serving nobles and acting as the Atelier’s anchor. A story he believes holds no true value.
As the Atelier celebrates their many victories, Kurt serves food to everyone. But he notices Rikuto isn’t eating and worries that something might be wrong with the meal.
Rikuto gently explains that he cannot eat—after all, how could an imitation enjoy food? He then announces that he will be leaving on a journey, and in his absence, Liselot will act as Viceroy, while Kurt will serve as the acting Atelier Master.
Kurt is stunned—how could such a “common” story lead to this?
Everyone at the table laughs and agrees—yes, his story is common… but is it really?
Many episodes later, Kurt remains hilariously unaware of just how strong and extraordinary he truly is.
