Synopsis
Peter Ratri commits suicide; Emma and the others are unable to save him. Afterward, the children, specifically Emma and Ray, convince Isabella, the Mamas, and the Sisters to follow them to the human world. They eventually agree, and Isabella breaks down in tears after having been sorry for everything she has done. Thereafter, Isabella mentions that she and her group will manage Grace Field, and Emma and the others make their way out, only to be shocked by a message from the imperial capital.

Plot
Instead of working together with Emma and the rest of the children, Peter Ratri chooses death, to die as a Ratri. The children try to save him. Peter is baffled, why the children would want to keep him alive. Seconds before death, Him comes to Peter.

The demon king feels the joy that he was able to enjoy himself for 1000 years. Amusement that he got to enjoy himself.

Emma, Ray, and Norman cannot believe that Peter is dead. But even so, his final words still linger in their minds, "the human world is not any different". But that does not deter Emma. She and the rest of the children will prove him wrong.

Isabella asks Emma and the rest of the children what their next step is. Emma wants to deal with the 200 imperial soldiers and to discuss some other stuff with Isabella. Emma wants the Mamas to join the children in the human world.

In a flashback, Emma asks Him for all the children, including those who grew up, to go to the human world. That is the "Promise" she made. Once everything is done, and the "Promise" is implemented, Isabella, the sisters, the adults, and children of the other farms can all go to the human world.

The rest of the Mamas are shocked by this revelation that children have forgiven them for their deeds. Even though they are taken aback by the children's kind offer, Isabella and the rest of the Mamas decide to stay.

But Ray is not taking anything of that. He points out that if the Mamas have any regrets, that they should take care of them in the human world. Not only that, the rest of the children do not hold any resentment towards their surrogate mothers. They understand the unfortunate position that the Ratri Clan and the demons have put the women in.

The small children run to the Mamas and beg them to join them in the human world. Isabella can no longer hold in tears and once again apologizes for her mistakes and thanks to the children for forgiving her.

But the mission is not over yet. Until the children can return to the human world, Grace Field House will continue to operate, but the Mamas will be waiting. The Ratri Clan does not know about the Mamas betrayal and, as such, would be much easier to continue their quest for freedom. With that, the children bid farewell to the Mamas and head to release all children from the farms.

Norman contacts Cislo requesting an update as the children are ready to evacuate Grace Field House. But Cislo has some bad news. The imperial soldiers are all heading toward the farm's outer bridge.

Before the children can make a run for it, one of the Mamas stops them. There is a message from the impartial capital to all citizens.
