The episode begins with Megumin and Yunyun traveling to the city of Axel, engaging in friendly conversation with the other travelers in their caravan. Suddenly, they are attacked by giant earthworms, a resilient but generally weak type of monster. Yunyun successfully repels the attack with a fireball, which slightly embarrasses Megumin, as her focus on explosion magic leaves her unable to contribute.

After the battle, Yunyun is praised and admired by the other passengers for her assistance, boosting her self-esteem. She confides in Megumin that she feels more confident and hints at her desire to form an adventurer party together. However, their conversation is interrupted by another monster attack, this time from a swarm of giant bats. Yunyun single-handedly fends off the assault, making her even more valuable in the eyes of the travelers.

Throughout this, Chomusuke is being pursued by Arnes, who seeks to reclaim him. She attacks the caravan, and in the ensuing chaos, Megumin clashes with Arnes. With Yunyun depleted of magical power from defending the caravan, Megumin must find a way to fight Arnes despite her own limitations.

Megumin uses her explosion magic to launch Chomusuke into the air, catching Arnes off guard. Despite Yunyun's protests, Megumin prepares to unleash her explosion magic on Arnes, but Yunyun physically restrains her to protect Chomusuke. This leaves both of them at Arnes' mercy. In a desperate plea for help, Yunyun's prayers to the gods seem to trigger divine intervention, buying them time to act.

At the climax of the episode, Megumin introduces herself to Arnes as the leading mage among the Crimson Demons before successfully casting her explosion spell.
