Plot
Makoto explains to the group about his desire to find and befriend Mineko. Minato also notes the genetic mutations that Mineko has been exposed to. Ultimately it's decided that the group should find Mineko and as they venture forth they find a couple of Famnela that leads them back to their base. Tailing the Famnela, Makoto details his speculation on how he believes the other Famnela acts hostile toward Mineko. This notion is proven accurate when the group find Mineko surrounded by numerous Famnela and is beaten by them. Unintentionally, Rivar acts as a decoy, and taking advantage of that Makoto approaches Mineko to talk with her. Mineko still acting apprehensive, Makoto suggests she join the Kibou Company. Hearing this Minato has no problem with the proposal and Mineko also is eager to join too.

Just then a boss Famnela maju appears and elsewhere, Rivar is stuck on top of a rock trying to hold off the Famnela who are all infatuated with him for giving them his coins. Back to Minato's party, the Boss Famnela maju that is called a Queen Famnela and is a tough maju that only a 5-star adventurer can handle. However, Makoto's extensive knowledge of maju helps them as he casts a potent healing spell on it which greatly weakens it. Taking advantage of the situation, Mineko knocks off the Queen's crown causing it to be immobilized and defeated. Over on Rivar's side, the Famnela that have surrounded him act confused after the Queen's defeat. This prompts Rivar to try and sneak away only to be caught by them.

Overhearing that Minato's group is in search of money, Mineko leads the group to an abundance of kirakuri, and Rivar is crowned the new king of the Famnela.
