The episode begins with Hinata Sakaguchi reminiscing about her previous battle with Rimuru, where she declared her intent to avenge Shizu-sensei's death.

Meanwhile, Hinata's subordinates—Arnaud, Ritus, Bacchus, and Fritz—arrive. They express concern about her facing Rimuru alone, but Hinata insists it is her responsibility since she provoked the Demon Lord. The group decides to stay together, explore the area, and find a ramen shop, where they marvel at the authentic flavor and credit Rimuru for its creation.

As they travel through the Great Jura Forest toward Tempest, they are impressed by the well-paved roads and the absence of monster attacks, suggesting Rimuru's effective rule. They encounter Goblins, who inform them about the safety measures along the road, including an anti-magic barrier and police stations.

Elsewhere, Renard is informed by the clergy of the Seven Days—Dena, Arze, and Vena—that Hinata might potentially ally with Rimuru. They persuade Renard to kill Rimuru to expose Hinata's true intentions. Renard agrees and prepares an ambush.

Rimuru, noticing Hinata's approach, intercepts her magical communication and learns of her impending arrival. Despite the possibility of Hinata's group launching a surprise attack, Rimuru decides to confront Hinata directly. As the battle between Hinata's Holy Knights and Rimuru's forces begins, Rimuru's allies perform exceptionally, pushing back the knights.

Hinata is unexpectedly joined by Renard and the guard, who drag them into the fight. As the clashes grow fiercer, Rimuru and Hinata—surrounded by their powerful allies—prepare for their personal duel.
