As Lisa, Frederick, and Yukio exit the castle, they walked around the walls through the wilderness. When they got to the back of the castle, they look for the keyhole in the trees.

"Yukio, can I ask you something? Why are you barefoot?" Asked Lisa.

"This is the eastern region, so of course people living here would either wear sandals or no footwear. Also, there aren't any sandals for me to wear while putting on clothes" answered Yukio.

"Makes sense" she said.

"Lisa! I found it!" Frederick called out.

Both Yukio and Lisa came to where Frederick is, and he is standing next to an old tree with a keyhole on it's trunk. Lisa pulled out the garnet key and insert it into the keyhole, before turning it. Then everything started to glow just like last time, before turning into a swirl of yellow, red, and blue. The next thing she knows, she's back home in her normal clothes. It was already evening outside from the window, and it was a good thing that her mother brought home frozen pizza for dinner today.

"I wonder how mom is doing inside the film, I'm starting to miss her along with dad" she said to herself.

The tv goes into static before changing into the scene from the film, and it shows the eastern region and even saw herself in the film. However, there are few details she hasn't seen while in the film:

1. There is a winged creature spying through the window of the palace.

2. It goes into the scene featuring the king talking to the members of the circle of ten, in which some she doesn't know.

3. After she, Frederick, and Yukio had left the castle, there's a squadron of troops marching towards the castle.

She got worried on what will happen to Enju and the two elemental ninjas, until she saw that they can fend for themselves via ninjutsu while Enju casts fire magic to burn the troop (it was due to her being a sorceress). Then the scene cuts to Yukio and Frederick looking for her, until they look at the screen of the tv.

"Lisa! Can you hear us!?" Called Frederick.

"I can hear you loud and clear, where do I go next?" She answered.

"Just try and look into the map, it'll show you how many regions you have freed. Currently, you have freed two regions so keep it up!" He instructed.

The map appeared on the tv screen, and it shows that the eastern region is now visible along with the toy region. Apparently, the toy region is connected south west from the eastern region, and next to the eastern region is the ocean. Both unknown regions that are located to the northwest started to glow, these are next to both the toy and eastern regions. Then it showed icons of who the members of the circle of ten resides, one region has a man who is dressed like an artist, the other region has a woman wearing a cherry jubilee themed outfit next to a familiar toy like clown. This was no doubt that this is Clown-a- round, the same toy who tried to kidnap her while dropping the peridot key needed to unlock the toy region.

"I don't like this clown, but I'm not sure who this woman next to him is. Whoever she is, she doesn't seem like a caring person just like Enju. I get the feeling that once I entered that region, they'll try to kidnap me by force or use some kind of machine that can capture me" she said to herself.

She then touched the region where Clown-a- round and that mysterious woman resides, and she get sucked into the tv once more. This time, it was a different region. The landscape is full of candy and desserts, it ranges from trees made from licorice to even the river is made of some unknown soda. Everything looked delicious, but she does not want to eat any of the local wildlife out of suspicion that it could be a trap. As she walked to the path towards the bridge made of chocolate bar, she can see the clouds being pink (as if it's made of cotton candy) whereas the birds looked like they're made of chocolate and there's even Swedish fish swimming through the bank.
