Rakko
After enjoying yakiniku and leaving the restaurant, Chiikawa and Hachiware realize they forgot to remove the paper they had put on during the meal, and find that Rakko did the same.
With an exam approaching, Chiikawa and Hachiware share yakiniku with Rakko and volunteer for special training.
Chiikawa studies a weeding exam book at home at night, shows weeding practice in front of friends the next day, and reports passing Level 5 to everyone's delight.
While Hachiware is talking with Rakko, Usagi passes by, and they warm up to each other while comparing the lengths of their weapons.
Rakko grills meat at a restaurant and enjoys dessert before meeting Hachiware.
Hachiware and Rakko enjoy warm drinks outdoors and grow closer while talking about haiku and subjugation.
Hachiware looks at a wish list while enjoying a solo drink in front of a cave, relaxing while imagining being poured a drink.
Hachiware quietly savors pasta made from a cookbook and grows nervous remembering the subjugation viewing the next day discussed with Rakko.
Out with Rakko and the others, a nervous Hachiware throws a spear and, entrusted with finishing off the enemy, admirably fulfills the role.
Against a pink background, the faces of Momonga, Rakko, Hachiware, Chiikawa, Usagi, Shisa, and Kurimanju are lined up in a row.
Amid the bustle of the weapon shop, Hachiware reflects on a past experience and speaks with Rakko, promising to practice for the next day and preparing at home.
Against a pink background with heart frames, Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi, Momonga, Rakko, Shisa, and the others line up holding chocolate and candy in a lively piece celebrating Valentine's Day.
A single illustration shows Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi, Momonga, Rakko, and Shisa lying limply around large text in the center.
While Chiikawa and Shisa study from books, Usagi, Hachiware, and Kurimanju take a break, Momonga and the others take a bath, and finally Hachiware wraps up forest training with Rakko.
While Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi excitedly talk about food, Rakko surprises them with a paper trick and invites them to outdoor training for a change of pace, delighting the three.
On the way to the island aboard a swan boat, Chiikawa studies hard as the boat moves forward, watched over by Hachiware, Usagi, and Rakko.
Overwhelmed by the excitement of the island, Kurimanju moves to a quiet shady spot watched over by friends and calms down with yakisoba and a drink.
Hesitant before the long line for fruit parfaits on the island, Chiikawa and the others follow Rakko's teaching, wait patiently in line, and enjoy the long-awaited parfaits.
Next to a sheathed sword, Rakko points behind them with a proud expression.
Accompanied by Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi, Rakko heads to a gathering of the island's residents, where it is revealed that residents are disappearing one after another and they are asked to carry out a subjugation of the culprit.
Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi hear from the island's residents how the reward for the request grew much larger, and seeing a set of local specialties and a friendly bird, they understand the situation.
Led by Rakko, Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi are surrounded by a swarm of small black creatures and then face a giant enemy, freezing in place amid the silence.
As Rakko shows his resolve to face the enemy with this group, Chiikawa and the others are handed weapons one after another by the singing brown residents of the island.
While the tip of the stick Usagi holds breaks, Rakko spends time in a cave with Chiikawa and Hachiware, then reacts to a resounding noise and rushes outside.
Chiikawa, Hachiware, Usagi, and Rakko encounter a large fish holding one of their companions in its mouth near the settlement. Rakko raises a sword to confront it in a tense exchange.
Having fled into a house from a huge red creature, Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi reunite with Rakko and explain the situation. Usagi notices something upon seeing an illustrated guide to legendary creatures on the bookshelf.
A white companion checks rumors about mermaids in a book and learns of a legend of immortality, while a tailed one keeps eating as a yellow warrior asks a crying one to help find the culprit.
While the white Momonga, who refused snacks, drags a chained iron ball and clamors for a feast, a large black-and-white creature mimics the same words and puts a gray companion in its mouth, and the scarred yellow Rakko tries to cut the chain with a sword.
On the beach, Rakko confronts a mermaid-like figure with a sword while Momonga and Furuhonya watch. The figure returns to the sea, leading the group to conclude the figure is likely not an enemy.
A black-haired kid with braids opens the container holding Rakko, who is hung from kelp, checks the contents, and tastes them.
