Now that both Oscar and Naiz have joined the Liberators, Miledi sets her sight westward, hoping to recruit the fabled Saint of the Western Seas. The party heads to the island city of Andika, where they run into the kind-looking sadistic pirate queen, Meiru. At the same time, the Holy Church tasks their knight commander, Laus Bahn, with the extermination of the Melusine Pirate Group that Meiru leads.
