The Third: The Girl with the Blue Eye

Synopsis:

In the aftermath of Blue Breaker's first attack, Honoka must deal with the dead Zankan and living Millie while explaining to Iks about her background and the blue astral eye which sets her apart from both The Third and normal humans. The Third are still intensely interested in Iks, however, so Blue Breaker returns for a second round – this time without any restrictions on combating Honoka. After passing Millie into the safety and well-being of her aunt's care, Honoka finds herself so fascinated by an army ant's transformation into a Queen that she resolves to defend the nascent Queen from other army ants until she has completed her transformation. Later, Bogey and Honoka's rough encounter with a stampede of sand dragons heralds an impending catastrophe, one whose scope, nature, and source deeply concern even The Third. Unaware of the existence of the upcoming threat, Honoka gets hired to investigate the cause of the sand dragon stampede, but while in Emporium she also encounters Paife, a woman who passes as the nurse at Millie's school but soon proves every bit as capable as Honoka herself.
