Hayate: Ojou, how much time it will take?
Nagi: Shut up, baka! Let me concentrate!
Then the light appears as they all reached there and they entered into the Royal Garden.
Everyone looks surprised because of the appearance of the Royal Garden.
Kazuki: Amazing.
Yukiji: It's our first time here.
Hayate: No doubt. This is Royal Garden. A-tan and I used to stay here.

Then he was about to charge against them until.
Yamato appears out of nowhere, shooting the zombies, surprising everyone especially Hayate.
Hayate: Brother!
Ikusa: It's been a long time, Hayate.
Nagi: Hayate, is he?
Hayate: No doubt. He is my brother, Ayasaki Ikusa.
Yukiji: Wait a minute! Your name was Ikusabe Yamato! He is owner of Asuki Hotel Resort where Sakura worked with.
Kazuki: Hai.
Everyone thinks about Asuki as they reversed that name as it turns out Ikusa.
Everyone: What?!
Hayate: Long time no see, brother.
Ikusa: Yeah.
Both Ayasaki brothers are talking about the childhood as Nagi is annoyed because of that.
Nagi: Anyways, we are here to save that idiot.
Ikusa: Matou Sakura. I owed her because if wasn't for her, I wouldn't able to remember about my brother.
He passes the lucky charm to Hayate as he feels something inside.
He realized as his brother had a jewel.
Ikusa: Go save her, brother.
Hayate: Yeah.
Then Hayate alongside Nagi, Yukiji and Kazuki rushed towards the castle. Before Kazuki leaves,
Isumi: Kazuki? I made up my mind.
Kazuki: What is it?
Isumi: I decided to quit as an exorcist and I decided to become a normal housewife. I wanted to marry you. Will you marry me?
Kazuki: I understand, Isumi. After I save her, I'll come for you.
He rushed alongside them while Isumi looks on as she keep exterminating the zombies alongside Ikusa.
Then outside the gate, Hinagiku is standing as she is surrounded with darkness and her sword is dark.
Hayate: Hinagiku!
She unleashes the darkness from her sword as Kazuki repels it with Machina's sword.
Hayate: Ojou, you go ins-
Yukiji stands between Hayate and Hinagiku.
Yukiji: I'll deal with her, you go inside, butler boy.
Nagi summons a sword and passes it to Hayate.
Nagi: Hayate, go and save that idiot. I'll support Katsura Sensei.
Hayate: I understand.
Then Hayate and Kazuki enters inside the castle with the King's Jewel's help. Hinagiku tried to attack them but Yukiji distracts her.
Yukiji: I'm your opponent, Hina.
Then Yukiji and Hinagiku looks at each other eye to eye as Nagi also attacks her as it's two on one situation.
Then Hayate and Kazuki went inside to the castle as they encounters a magical presence as they got teleported suddenly and they ended up reached to the wonderland.
Both boys are surprised because of that.
Kazuki: Where are we?
Hayate: It's a wonderland.
Then they noticed a rabbit as it points that direction.
Hayate: Let's go.
Kazuki nodded as both went to that direction and the huge castle.
Inside the castle, they saw disturbing pictures of Sakura's past, much to Kazuki's horror.
Kazuki: How cruel!
Hayate: Yeah. Matou Family were so evil.
Kazuki: Why she have to suffer so much?!
Hayate: Everyone have a tragic past.
Kazuki: No other girl survived despite of that.
Hayate: Do not dwell on that, Kazuki. We must save her. By the way, I heard that Isumi proposed you.
Kazuki: Yeah. She loves me and I start loving her.
Hayate: We'll talk about that later. First, let's find a way out.
Then the lucky charm reacts as the King's Jewel shines lighter as Hayate notices it. Both Hayate and Kazuki went to the direction which the jewel indicates with the light.
Then the jewel shines brighter as they noticed the exit from that illusion world.
They managed to get inside to the castle as Kazuki is surprised because of the castle's inside.
Kazuki: Is this?
Hayate: No doubt. This is a place where A-Tan used to live.
Sakura: You are right, Ayasaki Hayate-san.
Dark Sakura appears out of nowhere.
Kazuki: Sakura!
Sakura: I was surprised how you both went in. Kazuki-san, congratulations of having a girlfriend.
Kazuki wanted to say but Hayate interrupts him.
Hayate: Sakura, I fe-
Sakura: Ah! Before you say something. I have a surprise for you. Look there.
Then both looks at the direction she points as Hayate is horrified as it shows Athena who is bound with Holy Grail as he looks at Dark Sakura making evil smile.
Sakura: This is Holy Grail. I wanted to kill your childhood lover but I decided to use her as a vessel of that grail. I was planned to summon a grail but it won't be fun if I open it now. I'll activate the grail in your eyes. I'm going to kill her.
Kazuki: Stop Sakura! Don't do it!
Sakura: What will you do, Senpai?
Hayate looks at the sword as he wanted to kill her but he throws that away, surprising her.
Sakura: What? I thought you wanted to kill me.
Hayate: I don't need weapons, I'll smash your head now, Matou Sakura.
His eyes becomes red as he makes a combat stance towards her as she looks at him.
Sakura: So be it. After all, I'm not responsible if you get killed.
Then Hayate and Sakura looks at each other eye to eye before they start fighting and Kazuki rushes towards the grail in order to save Athena.
Dark Sakura tried to attack Kazuki but Hayate distracts her.
Hayate: I'm your opponent. Don't interfere.

Nadja: I see.
Both Nagi and Nadja still looking the duel between the Katsura Sisters.
