Kazuma finds a choker at Wiz's magic shop said to grant any one wish and decides to put it on. The problem? He'll die in four days from strangulation if the wish isn't granted. And Kazuma can't remember what he wished for, so he has no idea how his party members can help. The girls therefore have no choice but to submit to his every whim if they want to save him.

Kazuma and Aqua meet Yunyun, a Crimson Demon girl who claims to be Megumin's rival. The feuding magic users then square off in a competition that could have ruinous repercussions for both of them.

A new discovery in a previously mapped out dungeon might be the first step toward Kazuma repaying his massive debt. Unfortunately for him, Aqua is determined to help.

Vanir gives Kazuma the choice of either selling the intellectual rights for his real world products for a one-off payment of 300 million eris, or maintaining a profit-sharing contract of 1 million eris a month.

Kazuma and the others manage to lure the kite hawks into a cave and deal with them all at once, only to cause more trouble for the other travelers later when Aqua attracts some zombies.

Evading the angry mob, the gang discover that the source of the town's water is being poisoned by the man from earlier, who is revealed to be one of the Devil King's army leaders, Hans the Deadly Poison Slime.

Kazuma and the gang fail to defeat the hydra in the lake near Axel. The gang hopes to rely on knights from the capital, but they've been delayed due to a bandit disturbance for which a bounty has been issued. Darkness, however, is obsessed with the hydra.

Kazuma has crashed Darkness's wedding to Aldarp and pays him the two billion eris he says he's owed. Aqua and Kazuma try to make off with Darkness but Aldarp won't relinquish her so easily and orders his guards to stop their escape.
