3rd place: World Order Vol. 8

Kid returns to Grimoire after freeing slaves in Patria, along with some of the newly liberated. After using a clever trick to clear the Sealed Labyrinth of its dangers, he’s finally prepared to invade the enemy’s headquarters at Sturtus. But before he can proceed, he finds himself faced with a new challenge: his growing list of wives! Grimoire’s Countess Doris, who Kid vowed never to pursue, makes an unexpected move, seducing him with her charm. As more romantic entanglements arise, his adoptive father Solid and brother-in-law Ricardo are also affected. Even Merrill, who realizes Kid’s worth, sets her sights on marriage with him. Though Kid hesitates due to Merrill's youthful appearance as a Migood, her persistence eventually wins him over. Journeying to the Migood village near the Star Tree, Kid also finds himself entangled with Feralia of the Silver Wolf clan. Arriving at the Migood village with his companions, Kid learns from Tabia, the Star Tree’s caretaker and Merrill’s friend, that contact with the tree’s spirit has been lost. Kid, ever unable to refuse a request from a beautiful girl, sets out with Merrill and Tabia to the Star Tree. There, they encounter a powerful guardian dragon and an ancient alien-made weapon designed to exterminate planetary life. In this unexpected sci-fi twist, Kid unleashes his trump card to defeat the weapon and rescue the tree spirit. However, the enigmatic maid Chloe, with her knowledge of ancient times, only raises further mysteries.
