School is closed for construction and the students have been given vacation homework: find something to learn that could not have been found in a classroom. The timing turns out to matter — Elysium's magical castle materializes while students are at loose ends, and word spreads quickly that its secret, if solved, grants a wish. Arle is only mildly curious until Carbuncle bolts into the castle without warning, making the whole thing personal. Floor by floor, she navigates the castle's maze-like structure until she reaches the top — where a Sleeping Princess challenges her before anything else can happen. After winning, Arle collects the princess's staff and exits. The moon speaks, confirms she has solved the Secret of Elysium, and asks what she wishes. Carbuncle answers first: an unlimited supply of curry. Arle can only laugh.
