In the fourth episode of "Delicious in Dungeon," the adventurers' journey continues with a series of new challenges and alliances. The story begins with the group, led by Laios, arriving at the Golden Castle and immediately hearing various sounds of footsteps. Using his keen hearing, Laios detects the presence of golems, which they initially avoid. However, Senshi, another member of the group, suggests confronting the golems to obtain essential supplies.

Senshi leads the group to his base camp on the dungeon's third floor. Here, he shares his unconventional farming methods, using the bodies of the golems as fertile soil for his crops. The episode reveals Senshi's multifaceted role within the dungeon, highlighting his contributions to maintaining the ecosystem through farming, handling monsters, and even cleaning.

As they traverse the dungeon, the group plans to trade with the harvested vegetables. Their plans are abruptly interrupted when an inn they visit is besieged by orcs. Contrary to the group's initial reaction to defend the inn, Senshi reveals his unique relationship with the orcs, who regularly purchase his vegetables. This encounter shifts the story, as the orcs share crucial information about the Red Dragon, the group's primary target, and its recent activities affecting their village.

Negotiations take place, leading to a barter trade where Senshi offers the orcs vegetables in exchange for lodging. This agreement paves the way for a cultural exchange, with Senshi baking bread using ingredients provided by the orcs. This scene sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the orcs' history and their displacement by other races, sparking a debate between Marcille and the orc chieftain about the complexity of their existence.

The episode culminates in a shared meal, breaking down barriers between the group and the orcs. Convinced by Laios' promise to eliminate the threat of the Red Dragon without harming the orc village, the chieftain hands over a map marking the dragon's location.
