After his safe promotion to A-rank adventurer, Noa is given his next training task: Participate in the next Great Sword Festival for the title of Swordmaster. As soon as they arrive in Elbania, the First Princess Merlia approaches the party for help. According to her, the First Prince is plotting to usurp the throne, and she needs them to win the Great Sword Festival to prevent it. But the competition is fierce, featuring the warmonger Godart, the wanderer Kikujiro, the runner-up from last tournament, Alzarof... and even the tournament’s sponsor—Noa’s eldest sister Aeria—makes an appearance!
