Before Marika is able to officially join the company, she needs to fill out and turn in a piece of paperwork. This, however, turns into an adventure and a half for both her and Minato.

Plot
A few days have passed since the failed treasure hunt and Yutoria is distraught that they're still unable to pay off the inheritance tax. However, Marika then arrives in the Kibou Company officer with two big bags of gold. The gross total of one of the bags of gold is 500,000 and Mariko gives the bags of gold to Minato and Yutoria as payment for helping her with the treasure hunt. Where the money came from was by the maju that Marika defeated back in the haunted mansion. Furthermore, in exchange for the other bag of gold, Marika requests that she join the company as an employee. She goes as far as to state that payment is not necessary as she's learned a valuable lesson in friendship because of them. With that settled with, Marika joins the company as a new employee.

Afterward, Minato enjoys some tea with Guide who informs him that they need to report to the Agency about their new employee. Guide gave Marika a piece of paperwork to fill out so that it can be finalized that she's a new employee of the company. Therefore, Minato sets off to Mariko's house and when he finally reaches the place, he learns that Marika has lost it. So the two then scour through the mansion in search of it, but when they finally find it, Marika sets off a "Thief Trap". The two are then teleported to a dungeon underneath the town. Meanwhile, Rivar learns from Valmi about a Mechanized Dungeon. Initially, Rivar plays it off as nothing noteworthy, however, when he learns that the Imperial Company, it's decided that they should make a move. Later, the two find the gate to the dungeon and start exploring it. As it turns out, both Marika and Minato are in that same dungeon as well and eventually make it out of the dungeon.

Back at the office, Minato discloses his and Marika's adventure through the dungeon and the strange anomaly that surrounded it. Just then, Guide announces that Rivar was injured due to a recent dungeon excursion. His injuries will have him out of commission for months and where he got the injuries was in a Mechanized Dungeon. Recalling that both he and Marika were in the same dungeon, the Kaibou Company employees except for Marika visit Rivar's Company. There, they find Rivar bedridden as he's treated for his injuries. Rivar reluctantly recounts his encounter with the monsters in the Mechanized Dungeon and how he barely escaped with his life. With that in mind, Minato decides they should investigate the Dungeon for themselves. Returning to the office where the employees are prepared to head off to the dungeon, Guide mentions that Marika has yet to submit her paperwork. To that notion, Marika suggest they run.
