Episode Title:
The Old Country Bumpkin Faces the Dead
Episode Description:
Beryl receives his new sword but is quickly summoned by Lucy, who warns him that a bishop of the Church of Sphene, Reveos Sarleon, is likely Twilight's secret backer and plans to use the corpses to recreate the Sphene's Miracle, which supposedly can resurrect the dead. Sarleon has already been called to testify before the Order the next day, but Lucy asks Beryl to be prepared to capture him if he tries to flee the country, since the Order of Magic Corps cannot openly move against him without causing an international incident. Beryl agrees to the plan since there is a chance they can recover the body of Mewi's sister so she can properly mourn her. He has a brief reunion with Mewi who is still confused why he and Lucy are treating her so nicely, and Beryl assures her they just want to give her a better future. That night, Beryl catches Sarleon attempting to flee. Ficelle and Curuni arrive to hold off the guards so Beryl can confront the bishop himself. Sarleon resurrects the corpses as zombies, and Beryl is forced to destroy them and Sarleon's bodyguard, and Sarleon is apprehended. The next day, Lucy rewards Beryl by gifting him a house, and Mewi agrees to have him be assigned her legal guardian and live with him.
