Mahiro's sister Aika is dead, and he's determined to find out why. He discovers that Aika's death was part of a larger conspiracy involving an organization known as the Kusaribe Clan and their ability to control the Tree of Genesis, a powerful magical artifact. Mahiro enlists the help of his friend Yoshino, who is also an acquaintance of the Kusaribe Clan's princess, Hakaze. Together they set out to unravel the mystery of Aika's death and put a stop to the Kusaribe Clan's plan.

In episode 9, titled "Boyfriend", Yoshino and Hakaze continue to search for the identity of Aika's boyfriend, whom they believe is connected to her death. Meanwhile, Mahiro sets out to confront the Kusaribe Clan at their base. He's joined by a fellow mage named Tetsuma who has a grudge against the Kusaribe for disgracing his family.

As they navigate through the Kusaribe's base, they're confronted by several of the clan's members. Tetsuma and Mahiro face off against one of the clan's top mages, Samon, while Yoshino and Hakaze come face-to-face with the princess's brother, Samon's half-brother.

As they fight their way through the base, it becomes clear that the Kusaribe Clan has more than just the Tree of Genesis at their disposal. They also have access to powerful weapons and technology that make them formidable opponents. Despite this, Mahiro and Tetsuma are able to hold their own against Samon, each using their own unique abilities to battle him.
