Meanwhile, to accomplish a quest, Rudeus' party look for a mysterious monster in the middle of a forest. They encounter two other parties also searching for the monster. The boar-like leader of one party insists on "first come, first served" and do not welcome competition. <<Tokurabu Village Toughs>> follows after. Ruijerd expresses concern for the young demon team.
One of the parties is ambushed by monsters: a big spider and an Almond Anaconda, but Rudeus decides to wait before attacking to maximize soft reputation, which ends with one of the adventurers being killed. Ruijerd and Rudeus have a falling out, which is diffused by Kurt.
The monster they are looking has killed most of other party, with the leader in its maw. This time, Rudeus decides to intervene early and slays it with his team.
Back at Rikarisu, Rudeus is approached by another adventurer, who discovers his scheme and attempts to blackmail him. Rudeus believes the only solution is to blow up the town. Moved by Rudeus' resolve to protect Eris, Ruijerd drops his disguise, revealing himself as a Superd and threatens to kill the adventurer should he reveals their secret. Rudeus is disappointed with Kurt and Bachirou being scared of the Superd.
After leaving the city, Rudeus reconciles with Ruijerd.
The next morning, they find Ruijerd with a shaved head. Rudeus gives him a headband while the rest gets matching accessories. He starts his first strategy meeting which involves Asura Kingdom.
