I got this volume almost three weeks ago but the publication date for first printing is the 27th. Strange. This volume didn't seem all that interesting. Too many self introductions without much going on.

The covers have comics, inside flap as the Captain's little musing, and there's a letter from the author drawn as a comic too.

20. 何者 (What Are You?): Continuing from the previous chapter, the girls, Prin, Komomo, and Chiruha are in a room together andnd Chiruha senses something different about Prin. Prin recognizes Chiruha as the person she's been looking for but passes out. In bed, Prin dreams of a village where the Lycanthrope kids play. When she wakes up, Komomo is next to her and they start talking about why they're searching for the Lycanthrope. Carol, Kurenai, and Subaru are discussing the same topic elsewhere. Komomo is trying to find it to help Subaru heal his arm, and the other two are looking to help cure Prin's Lycanthrope curse. As they start dinner, Chiruha meets Prin again
and asks if she's beast-kind.

21. 明日のしあわせ (Tomorrow's Happiness): During the meal, Subaru's hand, Prin's condition, Chiruha's race, and Kisara's immortality are revealed. Most all of them agree to keep each other's secrets a secret but help to find a cure for Subaru and Prin. Chiruha wants to cure Kisara of his condition because she thinks it brings him sadness. When Kisara rufuses, she runs off to her room. Kisara follows her and has a talk with her saying that he's happy now that she's here. The next morning, Kisara has Kurenai, Carol, and Subaru move out and to the patrol's dorms.

22. 友達になってください攻撃 (Please Be My Friend Attack): The girls say goodbye to their men. Prin and Komomo get to stay in the mansion while the guys leave. Chiruha visits the guys in their new place and Carol gives her some treats as a symbol of their new friendship.

23. 想いがゆえ (A Thought Is A Reason): As the captain talks to his three new helpers to see what they can do, he starts telling them about Kisara. Because he was immortal, an abnormality, he could never face regular people. However, after Chiruha came, the captain mentions that Kisara seems to have found a purpose in life. After coming back from a job eliminating a beast, Kisara comes home to Chiruha who passes out from what looks like a fever. Kurenai tries to help, but Kisara gets defensive in protecting Chiruha. After putting her in bed, Kurenai explains to Kisara that they all have people they want to protect. The doctor comes to look at Chiruha and discovers that she's only passed out from accidentally drinking some alcohol.

24. 星降る夜から (From the Night of Shooting Stars): Everyone gathers for the welcoming party at the captain's mansion. Subaru and Komomo have a mushy moment and Kurenai and Carol see Prin again. Kisara tells Chiruha that tonight, there are shooting stars in the Leo constellation and wants her to see it. They go out to the balcony to find everyone else there taking a break. Kisara suggest that Chiruha go elsewhere, but she wants him to stay. As they do self intros again, the meteorites fall.
