Granville and Damrada discuss the consequences of their plans so far. Damrada reports that he narrowly avoided an encounter with a powerful demon and criticizes Granville for failing to sever the connection between Hinata and the Demon Lord Rimuru. Granville realizes that the balance of power has shifted and notes the fall of Falmuth and the rise of a new nation under Rimuru's vision to turn the Great Jura Forest into an economic hub. They decide to work together to thwart Rimuru's plans, though with differing levels of commitment.

In the meantime, Rimuru holds discussions with Hinata and the Western Holy Church about their future relations. Hinata explains that her initial hostility toward Rimuru was influenced by eastern merchants who manipulated her into believing that Rimuru had killed Shizu-san. This misunderstanding is cleared up, leading to a more cooperative stance between them. Rimuru and Hinata investigate the manipulations of the Seven Days Clergy and their ties to the eastern merchants, uncovering deeper schemes and machinations behind recent conflicts.

Over the course of the episode, Rimuru proposes official diplomatic relations between Tempest and the Western Holy Church, which Luminus and Hinata accept despite their reservations. They also discuss the need to protect their nations from potential threats, including angels who might attack if their progress goes too far. Rimuru mentions plans for further improvements to infrastructure and communication to strengthen his nation's influence.

Yuuki and Damrada scheme further, discussing their next steps and the challenges posed by powerful demons like Diablo. They decide to bide their time and observe the ongoing negotiations. Damrada plans to return home and delegate tasks to Misha, while Yuuki considers slave trading and operations involving rare monsters.

The episode ends with preparations for an upcoming festival, hinting at future developments and the continued efforts to solidify Tempest's position as a key player in the world's political and economic landscape.
