In this episode, Ryota's journey revolves around his adventures and the challenges he must face due to his unique abilities.

The episode begins with Ryota introducing his new drops, watermelons, which quickly gain popularity, much like his previous bamboo shoots. Eric, a character introduced in this scene, evaluates the watermelons and praises their exceptional quality. Ryota learns about the importance of having a license to explore deeper dungeon levels and decides to obtain one.

At the licensing facility, Ryota must pass a test that involves defeating a steel slime, a creature known for its tough exterior. Using his intelligence and unique abilities, Ryota employs a strategy involving rapid temperature changes to defeat the creature. His success grants him permission to explore dungeons up to level 6.

Later, Ryota faces off against a gorilla, a creature he had struggled with in the past. This time, however, he defeats it with ease, showcasing his growth and the advantages of his dual-wielding ability. Emily, a recurring character, expresses her amazement at Ryota's progress but also voices her concerns that he might turn evil. Ryota reassures her that he will remain peaceful as long as she is by his side.

The episode introduces a new conflict when Ryota learns about a strike called by the Adalberd group, which controls the only rice source in a dungeon. Ryota decides to confront the group, leading to an encounter with Neptune, a figure from a rival group. The two discuss the ongoing issues with the Adalberd group and the potential for conflict.

Ryota and Emily then set out for a new dungeon, Selen, located between two towns. Along the way, they set up camp, and the episode explores their camaraderie. Emily demonstrates her magical abilities, highlighting the duo's dynamic.

Upon reaching Selen, they notice the large amounts of trash left behind by adventurers. A mage is introduced, responsible for burning the trash using her fire magic. However, she struggles to keep up with the increasing amount of waste. Ryota, noticing her exhaustion and drawing parallels to his former life as an overworked employee, decides to step in.

The episode ends with Ryota and Emily rushing to the mage's aid, setting the stage for the challenges they will face in the new dungeon and their ongoing conflict with the Adalberd group.
