Busy day for Livius and Nike when Sun Kingdom is the host country for a conference. As usual, Nike is asked to summon rain again in front of the audience. However, something is different this time. She received a letter from her home country that her grandma collapsed and bedridden. While everyone else thinks that the rain summoned by Nike is beautiful, Livius realizes something different from the rain and straightforwardly asks Nike about what she’s been hiding.
Livius decides to go together with Nike to the Principality of Rain, Nike’s home country. It becomes possible as Sun Kingdom now has Bardwin as Prime Minister.
So our heroes have their first trip together. For some reason, Livius is very understanding and supportive this time. And for the first time, Nike develops romantic feeling towards him.
Arrived at Principality of Rain, Livius, Neil and Nike are greeted by Nike’s older sister. To Livius and Neil, this appears as no formality. Next they meet Tohara, Nike’s grandmother, who apparently in a very healthy condition. The whole “collapsed” thingie in the letter was just about a strained back.
In a way, I guess Tohara simply wants to meet the Sun King. Or, to be exact, the man who marries her grand-daughter. I had a good laugh seeing the reaction of Nike’s sisters when they drag Livius and dress him up like a plaything. Again, Livius is being very sweet this episode, and our “couple” finally has their first real kiss.
Livius gets to see Nike family members and I’m sure their attitude is somewhat within his prediction since he knows exactly how Nike behaves. I wonder why we haven’t seen Nike’s father in this episode.
