Ryota loots a necklace which doubles the items dropped by monsters. Their increased wealth tempts Ryota to start looking for a better house for Emily. While selling bamboo shoots Ryota meets a strange lady who buys them all. Erza reveals she is Eric Macy, a gourmet chef. Not wanting Ryota taken advantage of Erza acquires him trademark rights to the “Ryota Bamboo Shoot”. In Nihonium Ryota encounters crown Princess Margaret and her guards acting as her adventurer party. They reveal monsters that don’t drop items are actually dropping oxygen, which is valuable when bottled. Ryota and Emily decide they need a magic cart more than a house but when they reach Orton’s shop his young daughter Olga tells them Orton disappeared in Arsenic dungeon. After finding Orton safe they help him locate a floating monster he needs to craft a new prototype cart. For helping him, and saving the city from the gorilla, Orton rewards them the cart for free. At the guild Ryota saves Erza from a violent customer, so she impulsively kisses him, embarrassing them. With the cart they make the money for a new house in three days, though they also keep the old house for the memories. Eve is quick to visit the house for her carrots.
