Episode Description:
Five months since the Gate's opening, the Alnus refugee camp has developed into a town and trading center for goods from Earth. At the Imperial capital, Piña introduces Kouji Sugawara, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs' new ambassador to the Empire, to Lord Cicero, one of the most important nobles within the Empire's pro-war faction, and obtains his cooperation with the peace talks in exchange for the release of his nephew, who is currently in Japan's custody as a POW. Back in Alnus, Tuka keeps wandering the city looking for her father and refusing to accept the fact that he is already dead. As Itami and his friends discuss their concern for Tuka in a tavern, Mari claims that they must make her face the truth, but Itami objects, certain that they can not be responsible for Tuka forever. Left alone with Rory, Itami keeps drinking with her until a Dark Elf woman by the name of Yao Haa Dushi appears and, mistaking Rory for a child, reprimands Itami for giving her alcohol. With her plans to spend the night with Itami ruined, an annoyed Rory mischievously plays along with the Dark Elf's misunderstanding, forcing Itami to flee, with the Elf unaware Itami was one of the "Men in Green" she was looking for, whom she wants to ask for aid for her people, who are attacked by the Fire Dragon. The next day, as she prepares to visit the JSDF's base at Alnus, Itami heads towards the Imperial capital.
