Summary
Something powerful has come to Midgard.
The city had been kept in balance by an elaborate hierarchy of a criminal underworld, each faction wielding artifacts: magical items that are bought and sold at insane prices. It was as peaceful as this sort of urban hellscape could get, until something was stolen that should've never seen the light of day again, and freelance hitman duo Four and Five are dragged into a war.

Summary
“How precious are your futures?” asks the Sphinx. “How dear to you is the path you wish to take?” She bares her teeth in a cruel smile, and they all take an involuntary step back.
“Wait,” says Laios suddenly. “Look at her teeth!”
“Yes, Laios,” says Izutsumi. “We’ve all noticed the fangs. This really isn’t the time—”
“No,” says Laios, “those back teeth. She has molars- grinders. That means she’s an omnivore. But she can’t leave this circle, and you saw how nothing ventures within miles of this spot. I bet she hasn’t had anything other than…” he swallows, waving a hand vaguely at the pile of ex-adventurers, “...meat… for years .”
“So…what?” asks Izutsumi.
“Remember how good those marshmallows were?” asks Laios. “And that was only after a couple days without much of a varied diet.”
“You want to bet all of our lives,” Chilchuck says slowly, “on making a Sphinx a nice dessert?”
Laios smiles.

Summary
“This is old magic,” said Lysithea. “Archaic. It’s like the kind of thing you read in school about our barbaric forebears doing before Seiros showed everyone how to heal. There’s no reason in it. I’m amazed they could even work it, it’s nothing like their city.”
Edelgard nodded. She recalled Hubert’s final report on Shambhala—the City Without Light, where the streets glowed blue; an impossible civilization, centuries more advanced than anything on the surface. Now returned to dust.
“The only thing to do,” Lysithea said, matter-of-factly, “is cut it out of you.”
To save Edelgard's life, Lysithea will learn all her secrets—even the ones Edelgard doesn't know she's keeping.
