Asta and Noelle return to the Black Bulls' hideout only to get taken away by Mereoleona again. The place they were brought this time was the Vermillion estate. Waiting for them there was Captain Fuegoleon, Kirsch, Mimosa, and the sister who looked after the children at the church in Nean, Sister Theresa, who was also known as the former Magic Knight, the Crimson She-Leopard. Asta and Noelle wait in anticipation, wondering if they are going to get a new mission, but what Fuegoleon actually tells them is...

Noelle and the other Black Bulls head to Racquey to do some training, when Noelle hears a mysterious voice. Shortly after, the Black Bulls are reunited with Kahono and Kiato. The siblings ask them for help and they head down to the Underwater Temple. There, Gifso explains that a creature called the guardian has gone berserk, so in order to quell its rage, Kahono and Kiato need to present it with their song and dance. Gifso asks the Black Bulls to act as their bodyguards and Yami appoints Noelle and Finral for the job.
