Because the whole Kafra service thing from the last episode was pointless, the writers went back to starting episodes with flashbacks. Oh joy.
The setting is a cathedral/library of sorts, with a young Mage girl and an adult Wizard. The Wizard appears to be brainwashing the young girl into believing everything he says. She only responds with confirmation to her "master."
If you haven't figured it out by now, this guy is totally a creepy pedophile. End of flashback.

We rejoin our protagonists in the middle of the aforementioned Sograt Desert, this time with Hooters leading the way. Roan is the still the bitch boy of the group since Ma-chan doesn't feel like dragging around a cart.
Whatever their destination is, it isn't in the direction of the obligatory desert town present in all RPGs.

And of course, because this is a desert, Yuufa whines about how hot it is, then starts fanning her developing boobies. Roan sneaks a peak because he's creepy like that.
Oh, and that thing I said last episode about Yuufa not showing any mental activity? Well she does in this episode. I guess everyone gets to have at least one intelligent episode.

Everyone starts bitching at Takius about their complete lack of direction. Takius...doesn't say anything, since they'll keep following her anyways.
Suddenly, they are distracted by a walking, screaming cactus that they happen to pass. If you're looking for a point to that, there is none. Just the animators killing some time...

Takius announces that they've finally arrived at their destination: An absolutely inviting hollowed mound of sand in the middle of nowhere.
Roan somehow trips while standing still, sending him speeding uncontrollably down a sand dune, but closer to the entrance. Thus, a transition where Roan gets hurt. I approve.

No one cares about Roan. Maya's merchandise is much more important.
I know you perverts out there are interpreting "Maya's merchandise" somehow with a pornographic twist. Don't deny it.

Back with what's important, Exposition!Takius tells us this place is an ant's nest called "Ant Hell." The tip of her large staff starts to glow (like at the beginning of the last episode) as she leads this unreasoned expedition into the dungeon.
Roan somehow trips over himself while standing still again, sending the ladies plunging down in a pile with him. Dammit Roan, you can have the other two, but back off from Judia!
