Rokuko registers as an G-Rank adventurer and they travel to Docosp's Slave Market on the guild's recommendation to buy a new slave. After successfully buying Ichika for a cheap price of 50 silvers, she shows off her skills hunting rabbits. After spending the night at the Sleeping Songbird Inn, Keima and company return to the Ordinary Cave.

#### Creation of the Dancing Doll Inn

The next day the start the investigation and become imprisoned in the trial room. Days later the guild receptionist, Cilia arrives at the Dancing Doll Inn to setup a guild branch office and to request that Keima investigate the Ordinary Cave and rescue Uzou and Muzou.

#### Evaluating the Grand Suite at the Cave of Greed

After the rescue of Uzou and Mizou, Haku visits to celebrate the opening of the E-rank dungeon, the Cave of Greed, to the public and evaluates the A-rank meal and the grand suite. After sampling the A-rank meal, Haku bathes with Rokuko in the onsen. This event with Haku and Rokuko (with Cilia watching) was omitted from the main story and was included in the appropriately titled Afterword of Afterwords short story, *That cut scene*. After recommending a new higher price for both a night's stay at the suite and the [Glutton Set] meal, Haku shares information about the neighboring dungeon, Flame Caverns, and identifying the egg as a phoenix egg.

### Chapter 3: Day 73 - 89

#### The Flame Caverns

The drill golem breaks through into the Flame Caverns, but Keima quickly pulls back and collapses part of the tunnel to reform the wall between the dungeons, however, Dungeon Core Number 112 breaks through demanding to know who invaded his dungeon.

#### Tricking the Gullimander

Keima apologizes by agreeing to genusnooze for seven days, twelve hours a day. Dungeon Core Number 112 doesn't realize the trick until five days later. Later on, Keima gives Dungeon Core Number 112 the name Ittetsu and continues tricking him until he returns with his dungeon master Redra. Talking with Redra, Keima finds out that the Flame Caverns owns most of Tsia Mountain and asks for space to finish drilling what will become the Great Tsia Mountain Tunnel. After going back and forth with Keima trying to haggle the price down using gold and silver coins with a golem crystal knight statue, Ittetsu remembers that Rokuko is part of the Traitor Faction.

#### Ittetsu vs Rokuko

The deal to trade the crystal knight statue with gold and silver coins for space for the tunnel fell through, but Redra used her Absolute Authority to make Ittetsu get the statue. In response Keima proposed a special dungeon battle to settle the matter. A week later, the battle between Ittestu and Rokuko's dungeons began.

Keima main strategy focused on overwhelming Flame Cavern defenses with a large scale water attack and inflicting PTSD trauma on Redra while Ittetsu focused on defending against the various attacks using Red Lizards to stop advancement of forces from the Cave of Greed and relying on Redra to prevent the capture of the boss rooms.

With multiple dungeon floors conquered by the water attack and Redra defeated by Rokuko's egg attack plan, Keima was able to end the battle by touching the Dungeon Core.

### Epilogue: Day 90

The day after the battle Keima received enough space to finish the Great Tsia Mountain Tunnel, but did not receive half of Tsia Mountain as he never touched the Dungeon Core on the bottom floor, but only on the fiftieth floor. In addition, because Ittetsu was able to cheaply move the mountain core, he agreed to help hatch Rokuko's phoenix egg.

### Extra Chapter: Keima’s Earth Cooking Class

Keima decides to try and teach everyone to cook so that the inn could function without him if he was not available. He decides to teach everyone how to make mayonnaise.

## Notes

### Differences from Web Novel (Chapters 35 - 72)

* In the Web Novel, Ichika gets registered again as an F-Rank adventurer. In the Light Novel, she does not officially become an adventurer under her new name until the Triple Threat Dungeon Battle
