Crescent Moon.Naotsugu, Shoryu and Hien begin hunting ingredient monsters while the rest of the Crescent Moon Alliance and Nyanta begin preparing for Shiroe's plan. At the same time Henrietta and Shiroe task Maryelle with approving an exorbitant amount of budget for Shiroe's scheme which requires five million gold funding requests by taking advantage of the fact that Elder Tales has no strict ruling on how currency should be obtained. The following day, Crescent Moon Alliance opens a food booth and despite initial reluctance from the citizens, it becomes an instant hit with word of their flavorful food quickly spreading throughout the city. Afterwards, the stall manages to make over forty thousand gold in profit despite their sales being restricted by the total amount of citizens living in Akihabara and the total number they can serve daily. Shiroe then leaves the next stage of his plan to Henrietta before he informs Minori of their progress and urges her to wait a while longer. That night, Shiroe and Nyanta request the aid of former Debauchery Tea Party member and master of the Brigade of the West Wind guild—Sojiro Theta, who happily offers help to his old friends. The next day Shiroe begins the second stage of his plan.
