8

Chiho learns that due to an incident at her family's farm, they need workers for the summer harvest, so she invites Maou, Alciel, and Urushihara to join them to work. They arrive at the Sasaki's family farm in Nagano with Chiho and her mom where they meet Chiho's grandmother, her aunt and uncle, her cousin, his wife, and their child. The three are also overblown to discover the amount of land the family owns, as well as how big their house is. After working them for the day, they are taken to a nearby hot springs to clean-up when they suddenly run into Emi, Suzuno, and Alas Ramus. The girls come up with an explanation for Alas Ramus and why they are there, before Emi offers up her services to work on the farm, to Maou and Chiho's shock. Later that night, a flustered Chiho takes Maou outside to talk, where she tells him that Emi is there because of her mixed feelings about Maou working on a farm, due to their history, and reiterating her dream that they can all be happy together someday. As harvest time starts, Emi wakes the boys up to work, with her and Maou paired up to pick eggplants. After explaining the farming process, she states her personal feelings about Maou working on the farm and not intending to forgive or accept his regret for his actions, but still encourages him to work for the Sasaki's sake. After being relieved, Maou and Alciel make themselves useful by taking the child, Hitoshi, to see his mom, however they are all startled by the appearance of a growling black bear, which soon notices them after Hitoshi starts to cry.
