Vil and Crewel invite Ortho to participate in Fairy Gala IF, and when they appear in Ignihyge Idia responds, “Danger, Ortho, danger! Run!”
Ortho explains that Idia was against his participation, but eventually conceded after being pleaded with enough.
When Ortho is met with the crisis of coming up with an original idea for the fashion show Ace recommends that he discuss the problem with Idia, but Ortho insists he wants to challenge himself: “I don’t want my brother to tell me what I should think.”
Ace responds, “Yeah, I had a feeling you’d say that.”
After coming up with his idea Ortho then refuses to confide in Idia, though Idia insists, “If the choice is between missing out on spring and putting Ortho in danger, I’d skip spring ever time. We can still call this off, you know.”
Idia panics during the show as well and when he insists that he has faith in Ortho (despite how he sounds), Crewel responds, “Then let’s hear some encouragement.”
Idia follows with a quiet, “Your big bro knows you can do it,” referring to himself with the same word that human-Ortho did when he was alive rather than the word that robot-Ortho uses to refer to him (more here ->)
Ortho is the driving force behind Fairy Gala, coming up with the idea of doing an illusion during the event that utilizes his projection mapping abilities and using the Fairy Queen as their volunteer (“Every living creature has lapses in judgement when they’re excited. It’s the perfect time to do something sneaky”).
Silver, Jack and Ace all agree with Ortho’s plan, but Vil is unimpressed by Ortho’s runway walk, which he devises by replicating the motions of models in videos of past fashion shows.
Vil instructs Ortho to come up with something original and, when Ortho asks how, Vil refuses to answer. (“I want to hear YOUR thoughts on the matter. Don’t just parrot something you found online.”)
The problem becomes something of a crisis for Ortho, but Vil is unconcerned as a “rather thoughtful classmate” goes to his aid: Ace. Ace gathers the rest of the first years (and Sebek invites himself), and their conversations inspire Ortho.
Ortho struggles with understanding that humans require food and rest, but his interpretation of the gala theme of “evolution” is a great success with the fairies.
Jack accidentally compromises the illusion that enabled them to steal back the school’s magestone by sneezing and Ortho comes close to during off his technomatic beam in order for them to escape, but after Silver apologizes on the group’s behalf the fairy queen, too, apologizes for the theft of the stone, thanking Ortho specifically for his “stirring performance.”
She invites him to put on another show in the future and Ortho immediately agrees.
