"I want money." After paying back the debt Aqua has racked up, Kazuma and Aqua's monetary situation grows even more dire. The party accepts a quest to kill helpless Snow Sprites and heads for the snowy mountains in order to escape from the stables during this winter so cold it freezes Kazuma's eyelashes solid.

Kazuma finds a choker at Wiz's magic shop said to grant any one wish and decides to put it on. The problem? He'll die in four days from strangulation if the wish isn't granted. And Kazuma can't remember what he wished for, so he has no idea how his party members can help. The girls therefore have no choice but to submit to his every whim if they want to save him.

Kazuma is surprised to discover that Vanir had an extra life and has since quit his position as a commander to work at Wiz's shop, striking up a business partnership to sell products from Kazuma's world.
