Summary
The Kibou Company continue their quest in the dungeon only to find themselves helping their rival Rivar from the Cyedge Company from a boss maju.

Plot
Reaching the third question, Makoto answers it correctly as it's related to plants which he's knowledgeable with. Continuing forth, Makoto details to the party why he's so knowledgeable with plants due to his introverted nature. Furthermore, he's also knowledgeable with maju as well, going as far as to discover a new kind of Slabby. As Makoto names off several kinds of plants, Minato pulls out a certain plant that's later called a "Restructroot". Anyone who pulls it from the ground will have to do restructuring within the week, so Makoto "deals with it" for him.

Before they move on, the party helps Rivar from a certain situation, and when they do he rushes on forward ungrateful for their help. When the party catches up to Rivar they see him having trouble with the boss monster of the dungeon a three-headed maju. Although Rivar betrayed them, Minato insists that they help him as he's a fellow adventurer. With their combined teamwork and some helpful insight from Minato, the two parties manage to defeat the monster. In the end, however, Subaru from the Imperial is the one that took the quest item to complete the quest. She managed to sneak past the sleeping Maju and take the prize for herself.

Outside of the dungeon, although it's kind of lamented they didn't win the quest contest, their company still managed to stamp the Boss Maju. Therefore, they'll still recieve a reward from the Agency giving them another step closer to paying off the inheritance tax. On the other hand, Rivar showing no begrudgence, calls the bet a tie. Valmi then approaches Minato claiming he's no normal individual; Minato states contrary, to which Valmi doesn't buy. She also notes that Minato could be the same person that there are some nasty rumors flying around about. Though, Minato denies that he's that said person. Back at the office, Yutoria handles some paperwork and inquires about what Minato talked with Valmi about. He, however, brushes it off as nothing.

The following day, the Kibou Company employees are exhausted by the quest they had the day prior. While they're served tea and snacks. Yutoria announces that she's got some juicy intel.
