The episode begins with Luciel at the adventurer's guild in the Holy City of Shurule, where he is greeted as "St. Weirdo." Monika and Nanaella, two familiar faces from Merratoni, surprise him with their visit. Luciel immediately sets out to heal injured adventurers. A beastfolk child asks Luciel for help and leads him to the slums, where a crisis is brewing.

In the slums, Luciel learns that representatives of the Independent City-State of Yenice were robbed near the border. Luciel heals them but is stabbed by a beastfolk man who turns out to be the father of the child who sought his help. Luciel heals himself and the others, then declares his willingness to treat the slum residents out of "charity." He also educates them about public safety and hygiene.

Monika and Nanaella reveal that they are not the ones getting married, clearing up a misunderstanding. Luciel discovers that his letters never reached them due to a mistake by the guild master. The episode also includes a humorous moment where Luciel jokes about having two "girlfriends," referring to Monika and Nanaella.

Luciel spars with Lumina, a member of the Valkyrie Paladin Regiment, to test his combat skills. Although he has improved, Lumina advises him not to face strong opponents yet. Lumina and her regiment then depart for the border, leaving Luciel behind to ponder his next steps.

Six months later, Luciel decides to challenge the boss on the fortieth floor of the labyrinth. The episode ends with Luciel realizing the gravity of his situation: if he dies in the labyrinth, there is no turning back. Driven by the desire to reunite with his friends, Luciel defeats the boss but cannot return to the surface. Instead, he reaches the fiftieth floor, setting the stage for the next episode.
