If he stands up for Ryouko, Ichiro could destroy the new life he’s trying to build.  But at the same time, the intensity of her fantasies and predicament reminds him all too vividly of the person he once was.  In the end, it may just be that the only one who can really rescue this damsel in distress is the dream hero that Ichiro thought he had buried forever in AURA.

In a bizarre turn of fate, Hayate finds himself in a world where his mistress is Maria, and Nagi no longer seems to exist!  Meanwhile, Nagi is having her own problems, trapped in an amusement park of doom!  What’s going on and how does this relate to a mysterious silver-haired woman who seems to hold the key to everything?
