As Caren experiences backflash from her observation spell, the boy, revealed to be the Heroic Spirit of the eighth card, reveals that Miyu is a princess from a parallel world who was born as a complete version of the Holy Grail. Feeling she can't escape her fate, Miyu gives Sapphire to Illya before being pulled into the vortex, completing the Heroic Spirit's ultimate form. Learning that Miyu is still alive inside the demon's body, Kuro and Bazett hold off the demon while Illya, gathering her resolve to rescue her friend, combines Ruby and Sapphire's power to unleash a powerful new transformation.
Illya and her friends arrive at the beach alongside Shirou and his friend Issei Ryuudou. Whilst enjoying the beach, Miyu tells about how she has a brother, who Shirou resembles, before the girls come across Bazett, who is working part-time jobs to pay off her debts. Later, as everyone has a party to celebrate Illya, Miyu, and Kuro's birthdays, the celebrations are interrupted by some noisy construction from Rin and Luvia, who are attempting to dig for the eighth card, with Illya soon finding herself in the middle of an outrageous feud. Things become more troublesome when Ruby tries to inject Shirou with a love potion, though Sapphie soon sorts things out by erasing everyone's memories.
