Plot
Elia receives another letter from Ryoma, who details he's departed from Gimul and has since headed for Lenaf to open up a second shop.

Upon reaching Lenaf, Ryoma immediately heads to where Pioro's Trading Company, the place where Glissela's contact was at. There, Ryoma felt self-conscious about the large crowd and thought it best to return another time, but was approached by a worker named Miyabi. She asks Ryoma why he's there, and he requests to meet Pioro, who was coincidentally her father. Pioro then appears and, after Ryoma formally introduces himself, promises to lead him to the town Merchant Guild, where he'll fill out the paperwork to open his second shop there.

As Ryoma and Pioro walk to the guild, Pioro details that he handled most of the hard work for Ryoma and all he has to do is sign some papers. At the Merchant Guild, Ryoma was impressed by the guild's structure; Pioro details that the Merchant, Adventurer, Craftsman, and Dragoon Guilds were all located there in the converted fortress. Curious to know more about the Dragoon Guild, Pioro shows Ryoma outside, where a group of dragon monsters used to transport goods and people were located. Pioro then goes on to explain how the four guilds harmonious work they do together for the town. The person who came up with the idea was Pioro's ancestor and branded the idea an "airport". Hearing this leads Ryoma to believe that Pioro's ancestor was a transfer like him.

Afterward, Pioro gives Ryoma a tour of his second shop, located directly across from his personal business. After the tour, Ryoma used his Limour Bird Drei to contact his associates about the supplies needed for his second shop. Learning that Ryoma doesn't have a place to stay, Pioro offers his place until he does, which Ryoma graciously accepts. Furthermore, Pioro offers to prepare a delicious and rare meal for him.

The meal was a traditional Japanese meal that Ryoma enjoyed as its taste was so nostalgic for him. They then talk about Miyabi's plans for attending the academy to make connections as a future businesswoman. Ryoma then reveals that he's also an E Rank adventurer, which Pioro and Miyabi note that there aren't many E Rank quests due to a ferocious D Rank monster called a Smash Boar. Its presence was also ruining business for the town, and Ryoma recalls that the Smash Boar was one of the monsters the Gods mentioned to him before he was reincarnated. Expressing his interest in fighting the Smash Boar, Pioro offers to buy its meat at a reasonable cost, but Miyabi scolds him for goading him to do something dangerous.

The following day, Pioro was too busy to help, so he has Miyabi help Ryoma in his stead. They start by purchasing lumber for the shop's furniture, and Ryoma then has his Slimes handle the cleaning and furniture making. Pioro later visits the shop and witnesses the Slimes at work.

Once work around the shop was done for the day, Ryoma did Herb Gathering for the guild with his Slimes. After they complete this, one of Ryoma's Limour Birds delivers a letter from Elia, which reads how elated she is that Ryoma is going to open a second shop. Elia hopes Ryoma also opens a shop one day in the Royal Capital. When Ryoma finishes the letter, screams are heard, and a Smash Boar chasing a couple of adventurers can be seen.
