Not too much happens in the first half of the book. Satou takes Hime out on a date, but then she says they can't do it again because he has to bond with all the princesses.
They start traveling through the mountains to the abandoned dwarf city, Idanokan the Kingdom of Earth.
The dwarves made lots of "magical machines" which include androids and... ice machines? They seem very much like our world's technology, but I guess they do run on magic that lasts for centuries?

THEN though, the second half of the book...!

One of the androids has the black Earth ring and attacks. But then all the black rings vanish and the Abyss King returns??? Everything looks awful and Gramps gets ready to send everyone back to (okay, howwww am I supposed to talk about Earth-where-Japan-exists when there's also an Earth kingdom in Arnulus??/ Ugggggh.) Satou's world, but Marse volunteers to stay and help fight. Gramps can't come because he has to close the portal so no evil can follow behind them.

Everyone is adapting because there's no known way for any of them to reopen the portal. Then, when Hime and Satou are alone in the clearing, out of a little old shrine pops... the Earth princess! Well, the closest thing, since all the dwarves have been long extinct--the Earth Princess android replica! Amber!

Amber's actually really fucking creepy because she has absolutely no personality or will of her own. Her entire programming is to serve/follow/aid the Ring King. Yikes. It's so creepy and skeevy, the way she talks. Right now he's focused on fulfilling their duties, but I don't think Satou will like it either, nor the other princesses, so hopefully they encourage her to develop a real personality soon. Can you bond with a soulless android? 😬 This is no Data-like machine, so far. Like I said, no free agency. Seems more like the bots Warren was building in Buffy. Ick.

Hime doesn't want to tell the others and wants to stay in their world, safe like Gramps sacrificed himself for them to be, and figuring out how to live a normal life. (I can't believe she told Satou they were going back to school!) But Satou knows they have to go back and save Arnulus.

Plus, just when Hime and Satou are about to finally get it on for the hundredth-almost time, Amber pops in like "Portal is ready! Only works once!! Ooops, bad timing..." 😅

Oh and I can't believe she started to just crawl back into the old shrine when she thought she interrupted them in the forest. 😂


I can't wait to see how mad the other 3 are when they find out that there's a way back and we found Amber & the Earth ring and p.s. we all have to leave right now!

As Satou continues to build his harem of princesses the poor boy's troubles seem to grow as he tries to fight against his social awkwardness even to be intimate with the one girl he truly cares for. Of course with the power of the rings Satou will have to learn to connect with each of the princesses to be able to access the might of each of the elemental (and light) rings. Now for those that have not seen any of the books in this series I am going to tell you although I really enjoy the artwork and the ordinary main character who is dragged into the conflict of another world there is an element of extreme lewdness where the women are often drawn accentuating to make them sexually appealing so if that bothers you I would understand even if Satou does not give in to any of them save for when he tries to be intimate with Hime whom he has loved for years.

Now with only one ring princess to find the group is off to the long lost city of the dwarves, Idanokan, for any chance to find the last princess so they can stand against the Abyss King who has been gaining strength where he has been sealed away. To avoid spoilers bad things happen, the last princess is found (what a surprise right), and our heroes return to hopefully put an end to the Abyss King who now seems to have the power to summon greater beasts after the black rings found in previous volumes disappear and find their way to his hand. Now I have a theory about how the Abyss king was sealed the first time but I will keep it to myself as I look forward to the eventual end of the series. :)

They got the last ring in this volume. The entire volume was in short about that. The build up at the end is to them beating the "Abyss King". Hopefully that will happen in volume 6.
