Kazuma is (once again) revived by Eris, who humorously savors the moment, but he quickly notices that his clothes are missing and his body reeks. Aqua reveals that his clothes were digested by the Hydra, with only his sword remaining (see last episode). Darkness is strangely depressed, and Kazuma learns that she allowed herself to be swallowed by the Hydra to save him.

At home, Kazuma, Aqua, and Megumin discuss their next steps. Aqua suggests hurrying to wash up, as Kazuma’s naked state is inappropriate. They decide to plan their next attack on the Hydra, as it is likely busy re-covering the lake thanks to Aqua’s purification.

Kazuma and Darkness have a private conversation. Darkness apologizes for her past behavior. Kazuma insists on better planning next time. Their talk is interrupted by commotion in the guild about a new incident in the royal capital involving the Silver-Haired Thief Brigade, who stole treasures and diverted the knights' attention. A high bounty is subsequently placed on the thieves.

Aqua vents her frustration while Megumin and Darkness devise a strategy to repeatedly attack and weaken the Hydra.

Megumin and Darkness return exhausted from their daily battle with the Hydra, prompting Kazuma to repair Darkness’ armor. They reminisce about past adventures and express a desire to return to the hot springs.

Suddenly, Darkness disappears with her equipment. Aqua and Megumin set out to find her before she faces the Hydra alone. Kazuma gathers the adventurers to help her. A coordinated attack plan is formed, utilizing Darkness’ Taunt ability, Kazuma’s Drain Touch, and the support of the others.

The battle with the Hydra reaches its climax. Kazuma and the team relentlessly drain the Hydra’s magic, significantly weakening it. Megumin delivers a final explosion that obliterates the Hydra. The adventurers celebrate their hard-won victory.

When Kazuma returns home, he finds a letter from Darkness announcing her departure from the group. She expresses her heartfelt gratitude for the adventure and friendship, leaving Kazuma, Aqua, and Megumin in shock as they read her farewell message.
