Unfortunately, if they want her help, they'll have to prove they can outsmart her first...

The Witch Cult has finally been driven from the Water Gate City, but the turbulent events have left deep scars. Far too many people have even been robbed of their very identities. In order to save them, Subaru and his friends set off on a dangerous journey to the Pleaides Watchtower. To get there, they will need to cross the Auguria Sand Dunes, home to vicious demon beasts of every kind. But they have nothing to fear with their companions the Demon Beast Master, the twin sisters Ram and Rem, and the Finest of Knights Julius...right?

The royal selection candidates each face their own crisis as they fight against the insatiable Gluttony, ardent Lust, infallible Eight Arms, and the superhuman Sword Saint.

Having overcome the ferocious battle with the fearsome White Whale, Subaru Natsuki returns to the Mathers domain.

To thwart the vile schemes of "Sloth" aimed at Emilia and the others, avoid the tragedy he has witnessed multiple times, and to defy Fate itself, Subaru's "Return by Death" experiences open the way forward-! "So, let me ask this of you. -Let me cling to your back, while you carry me on it."

Searching for even the slightest clue on how to escape the barrier of Sanctuary, Subaru must rely on Return from Death once more!
