Episode 3 begins with Kazuma telling Princess Iris a funny story about the darkness, much to Claire’s displeasure, as she scolds him for his casual attitude and uncouth behavior. Despite his promise to behave, Kazuma continues to entertain Iris with his stories.

During a castle tour led by Rain, one of Iris’ guards, Kazuma half-jokingly asks if he’s been kidnapped. Rain assures him that he was invited, expresses concern about Iris’ strange behavior lately, and asks Kazuma to keep her company. Kazuma agrees and requests Rain to inform his friends about his whereabouts.

Kazuma’s influence on Iris grows as he suggests organizing a cultural festival and founding a school. Their plans are briefly interrupted by news of an attack from the Demon King’s army, which is quickly repelled by adventurers. Iris thanks Kazuma for his company and announces his imminent departure, hoping to see him again in the future.

The narrative then shows Kazuma’s spoiled life in the castle, where he continues to bond with Iris, outwits her in chess, and proposes that she leave the castle—a suggestion Iris declines due to protocol requiring her to be escorted by guards.

Unexpectedly, after a week, instead of the maid Mary, Darkness, Aqua, and Megumin appear, expressing their concern and asking Kazuma to return to Axel. Iris supports this wish and organizes a farewell banquet. During the banquet, amidst nostalgic conversations and jokes—especially with Darkness—Kazuma and Iris reflect on his impending departure and her desire to improve her magical abilities.

The episode ends on a cheerful twist: Kazuma plans to catch a notorious thief to extend his stay, a plan that unexpectedly gains support from Claire and other nobles. By the end of the episode, Kazuma and his friends prepare for this unplanned adventure, though Kazuma feels it’s not quite what he expected.
