Reiji and Noela go to buy lunch at the nearby Rabbit Tavern. Noela loves the Rabbit Tavern's food and is excited to eat. Suddenly, they hear shouting coming from inside the restaurant. They cautiously look inside and discover the Rabbit Tavern's owner and poster girl Rena having an argument with the owner of a recently established rival restaurant. Not only has this restaurant stolen their customers, but it is apparently plotting to buy out the Rabbit Tavern as well. Seeing Rena's sadness, Reiji wishes he had some way to help the Rabbit Tavern.

The town is bustling with activity as it prepares for the Kalta Festival. The highlight of the event is the Hunting Festival in which skilled archers enter the woods to shoot monsters. For the past several years, an elf named Kururu has won every year. Meanwhile, Ririka the beautiful elf girl comes to Kirio Drugstore. She is Kururu's younger sister and wants to put her brother to shame. She believes that by winning the Hunting Festival, he will stop treating her like a child and acknowledge her as an adult and archer instead. She asks Reiji to make her a medicine that will make an archer as unskilled as herself win.

Reiji receives an invitation to a party from Elaine and her family to express their appreciation. Though he's unenthusiastic, when he sees Noela and Mina's excitement, he decides to attend. Since he has no clothes to wear to the party, he borrows Mina's father's suit, which reminds him of the depressing corporate wage slave life he lived before being reincarnated. He recalls how he met Noela when he first arrived in this world...
