In Episode 4, Kazuma, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness are hosted by Alderp, who reluctantly takes them in—except for Darkness, whom he is very pleased to see. Kazuma discovers that Alderp is using a magic mirror to spy on the bathhouse and observe Darkness. Although he declines Alderp's invitation, Kazuma takes advantage of the situation to blackmail him, threatening to expose his schemes. Darkness intervenes and destroys the mirror.

During dinner, tensions arise as Megumin and Kazuma discuss his absence and plan a "date," which culminates in Megumin’s typical explosive antics. Meanwhile, Aqua and Darkness chat with the maids, and Megumin boasts about her heroic deeds.
