Chapter 1: United Parallel Worlds (平行世界連合)[]
Kazuya receives a hug out of the blue from his chosen Angel.
The opening moments of Chapter 1 varies depending on the chosen Angel:
- Apricot : Kazuya walks into the cafeteria and sits across from Rico during the morning breakfast routine. Rico will thank Kazuya for his continued hard work in helping around the ship with her. His efforts in the training room also lead her to compliment his image as the leader of the Angel Wing as well. Kazuya shies away from the title as he considers himself not completely fit for the title just yet but Rico encourages him to be a bit more proud of himself not only as their leader but also as her "most important person". The two stare each other in silence for a while before it is interrupted by the irritated Lunti and Kazuya quickly leaves to order his food. Rico preemptively apologizes for choosing one of morning menu options Kazuya was wanting to eat but Kazuya reassures Rico that he doesn't really mind. Lunti breaks the atmosphere once again and personally delivers Kazuya's meal.
- Lily : Kazuya enters the convenience store to find Lily reading through some magazines where she was waiting for the breakfast to be served and ended up reading in the store to pass the time. When asked what she was reading, she explains that she's reading some magazines from EDEN about a movie she has gained some interest in. Fearing some spoilers, Lily however decides to stop reading and leave with Kazuya for the cafeteria.
- Nano : Kazuya relaxes around the park's fountain when Nano shows up and surprises him. Kazuya explains that Lunti wouldn't serve him anything until meal time and Nano decides that she wants to eat breakfast in the park with him. She leaves for a bit and returns with food and Kazuya asks where she got a hold of all this food to which Nano replies that Lunti gave the food to her. As Kazuya thinks himself how Lunti completely changes his attitudes around girls, the two share breakfast together.
- Kahlua : Kazuya runs into Kahlua in the cafe where Kahlua notes out how early of a visit Kazuya made to the cafe. As Lunti refuses to serve food until mealtime, Kazuya decided that he would spend some time drinking tea during the wait. Kahlua states that the Melba and the other staff members are having a meeting and she will be the one to take his order. Kazuya and Kahlua relax in the cafe and Kahlua wishes to switch to Tequila as she thinks hogging this relaxing moment would be rude of her to. Tequila and Kazuya talk for a bit more until Kazuya decides to help prepare breakfast with Lunti while Tequila decides to stay behind a bit more so Kahlua can finish her sweets.
- Anise : Kazuya meets Anise in the training room and he chastises her when she continues her tomboyish and unlady-like behavior. Anise's stomach growls immensely after the workout and she decides to run to the cafeteria to pick up food but Kazuya tells her that food won't be served for at least the next 15 minutes. Anise doesn't pay too much attention to Kazuya's words and criticizes him that he'll still need a bit more training keep up with her "active" lifestyle before leaving to take a shower.
In all cases, the girls will mention Kazuya's increased girth as he has begun exercising since the 3 months that have passed since the events of Zettai Ryoiki no Tobira. They will tease him for his change but wholeheartedly cheer their "captain" for his efforts.The "masculinity" of Kazuya and his duty as a leader being a central part of the romantic conflict down the road.
(In EK's Disc 2 portion where it portrays Natsume's Route (AKA: Kazuya's Route from ZR), the route starts in the middle of Chapter 2 where Natsume enters combat with the Luxiole and is brought aboard the ship and the route later skips again to the route conflict.)

The Rune Angel Wing are called to the Briefing room by Coco, who was given the role of acting commander since Tact's absence. Lily wonders why they're being briefed during peacetime and questions if something is going on that they haven't heard about. Coco enters the room and calms everyone down to explains their reassignment from being under the command of the EDEN armed forces to the authority of newly formed United Parallel Worlds (UPW). As such, they will be heading to ABSOLUTE through the Chrono Gate near Seldar for the formal reassignment.
Coco goes over the info that in the six-month period since the war caused by Verel, the armies of EDEN and NEUE have gained control of ABSOLUTE again, and the UPW was found after discovering other surviving worlds. The UPW operates within ABSOLUTE and is considered an independent entity separate from EDEN and NEUE with its main task being to help other universes similar to how EDEN advanced NEUE. Seeing as how NEUE is relatively advanced compared to the other worlds now, the UPW cuts off helping NEUE on good terms to prioritize helping the other universes. During the conversation on the status of NEUE, Anise and Lily mention the Arms Alliance, a group of planets opposed to Seldar's ruling authority in NEUE that might end up a problem. The Arms Alliance were previously part of Seldar but the exile of many individuals to the uncharted frontier led to the creation of its own nation. Coco receives a message from the Bridge that informs the crew that a new personnel will be joining them. With this announcement, the meeting is adjourned.
Back in his room, Kazuya goes over the function of the Telepathic Fur and decides to head out to meet with the other members. Depending on the girl chosen, Kazuya will immediately encounter the chosen heroine as he leaves his room. In all occasions, Kazuya's flustered reaction will cause the chosen heroine to wonder if he was thinking of some other girl before Kazuya quickly responds that she is only one he ever thinks about. Kazuya will be hugged out of the blue as the chosen Angel will express happiness over his dedication to her but also encourages him to think about the rest of the team as well. The couple will reminisce over the events of Verel's coup and how their bond was able to open the gate to ABSOLUTE before being separated when a fellow member shows up to break the couple up from their little moment.
