Freya prepared an enormous bento for Broly and asked Lyu to judge his reaction, while Helen and Haici went to watch over the Hestia Familia. There, Lyu and Ais met and began a swordsmanship spar under Broly’s guidance, leaving Leffia astonished by Lyu’s strength.

• Freya cooked a towering bento for Broly, and her Familia members worried about how he would handle her cooking.

Broly invited Lyu to bathe at Hearth Manor, where the hot spring brought back memories of her lost Astrea Familia companions and left her crying.

Broly changed the hot spring water with his unusual strength and magic while Lyu visited the Hestia Familia, then Lyu returned to the tavern and learned that Sheele had an Older Sister named Helen. Freya and Helen used the made-up sisterhood to conceal their identities, leaving Lyu unaware that Sheele was Freya and Helen was serving as her double.

After discovering he could use others’ magic through his Skill, Broly transformed into Liliruca and offered to fight in her place at the Divine Liquor Banquet, but she insisted on taking her own revenge.

• Sheele told Lyu that Allen had expelled Anya because he feared she would die in the Freya Familia’s Battle Wilderness, and Lyu agreed not to tell Anya.

• Broly offered to take Liliruca’s place in the fight at the Divine Liquor Banquet, but she refused because she wanted to avenge her childhood herself.
• News of the free Divine Liquor Banquet spread through the Soma Familia, and its members looked forward to attending.

Liliruca used Soma’s Divine Liquor Banquet to challenge Chanis’s control of the Soma Familia after he tried to block her departure and seize her money. The chapter ended with Chanis pressured to accept her challenge for the captain’s position.

• Chanis learned that a crowd had gathered outside the familia after rumors promised a free Divine Liquor Banquet, and he ordered the guards to keep them out.
• Liliruca and Soma distributed Rational Liquor, made with Miha’s Divine Wine Addiction Cure, to the crowd while Broly and Bell blended in among the helpers.

• Chanis suspected Liliruca of harming missing familia members and threatened to use the investigation to block her departure and take her money.
• Liliruca revealed her armor and challenged Chanis for the captain’s position, then accused him of cowardice when he hesitated to accept.

• Chanis accepted Liliruca’s challenge, but she used her swordsmanship to suppress him and wound him in their duel.

• Liliruca declared herself the new captain and ordered Chandra to treat Chanis so he would stay alive.

Broly helped Liliruca take control of the Soma Familia and ordered Chanis and his supporters sold to Frini in the Pleasure District. After learning the cure made Divine Wine taste bitter to those who drank it, he confirmed it worked and ordered the remaining troublemakers to drink it too.

• Broly rejected killing, recruiting, or expelling Chanis's supporters and instead announced he would sell them to Frini of the Ista Familia.
• When two members tried to resist or flee, Broly beat them down, intimidating the rest into submission.
• Broly confronted Soma, mistook the cure's effects for evidence of betrayal, and threw him before Soma explained that cured drinkers needed to know Divine Wine would taste bitter.
• Broly and Liliruca tested the cure by giving Divine Wine to the bound Soma Familia members, who vomited from its bitterness.
• Liliruca told Chandra that Rational Liquor also made other alcohol taste bitter, leaving the Soma Familia members distressed about whether they could ever drink again.
• Broly ordered Chanis's supporters taken to the Pleasure District and made the remaining troublemakers drink Divine Wine until they had each consumed at least a cup.

Broly and Liliruca sold the defeated Soma Familia members to the Ista Familia, then arranged with Miha for an antidote that could temporarily lift the effects of the Divine Wine Addiction Cure. Two days later, Liliruca had begun reforming the Soma Familia and was managing its withdrawal-stricken members and liquor business.

• Broly left Bell to supervise the Soma Familia members as they forced the Divine Wine Addiction Cure on the peripheral members, then took Liliruca and the defeated faction to the Pleasure District.

• Liliruca continued restructuring the Familia and its liquor business, with the Ista Familia placing a monthly liquor order worth thirty million Falis.

Liliruca struggled to rebuild the Soma Familia as its new Captain, but major wine orders from the Loki Familia and the Tavern of the Bountiful Mistress gave her business new stability. The visitors learned Broly had gone with Bell to wait for the 17th Floor Boss, while Ais and Leffia’s complicated feelings surfaced.

• Liliruca met Chandra and welcomed Ais, Leffia, Theiona, Theione, Sheele, and Lyu to her office.

Broly and Bell defeated Goliath and sold its drops to Tsubaki, who accepted Broly’s proposal to become one of his wives and gained access to the Crystal Palace’s storage space. Hephaestus ordered liquor and Divine Wine from Liliruca, then was stunned when Tsubaki casually told her she had agreed to marry Broly.

• Broly and Bell lured Goliath into an ambush, and Broly severed its head and cut apart its body until it turned to ashes.

Hephaestus struggled with Tsubaki’s sudden marriage to Broly and Tsubaki’s attempt to include her in their future family, while Broly funded Soma’s Divine Wine production. The Soma Familia rebuffed liquor merchants, and the God Enio suspected Uranus or Hestia had interfered with his covert plans.

• Hephaestus accepted that Tsubaki had agreed to become Broly’s wife, but Tsubaki suggested Hephaestus join them and teach them how to have children.
• Tsubaki left to ask Broly whether he wanted an encounter with Hephaestus, and Hephaestus admitted to herself that she did not reject the idea.

In the Dungeon, Ais joined Broly’s party and admitted she wanted him to give her more attention, leaving Bell and Loen to wonder how Broly handled his complicated relationships.

Broly and Ais traveled through the Dungeon, where Broly explained how Ais’s emotions affected her swordsmanship and revealed that his [Rage] Skill could multiply Ability Values at the cost of risking loss of control. After training and selling their drops, Ais accepted half their earnings and decided to ask Riviera how she might repay Broly.

• Broly stopped Ais on the 16th Floor when their bags filled quickly, and they chose to sell their drops in Rivera Town rather than return to the surface.
• Broly advised Ais to express her emotions more openly, then used a water mirror to show her surprised and happy expressions.
• Broly explained that extreme rage activated his [Rage] Skill, which multiplied his base Ability Values tenfold but could make him lose control; Ais agreed to use it only as a last resort.
• Ais asked to test the shared Skill under controlled conditions, and Broly approved her desire to understand its effects.
• Broly and Ais spent the day training against monsters on the 19th Floor, made eight trips to Rivera Town, and encountered Ganesha Familia members transporting monsters for the upcoming Monster Festival.
• Broly offered Ais half their nearly four million Falis in earnings, and she accepted before deciding to consult Riviera about repaying him.

Ais returned from training with Broly and tested his Rage Skill against Loki Familia, but the power drove her into a frenzy that nearly overwhelmed the Familia.

• Ais apologized to Leffia for training with Broly without her and promised they would train together the next day.

• After Ais awoke, Loki explained that the Skill had injured several Familia members and nearly sent her back to the Heavenly Realm, while Finn and Riviera warned Ais against using it lightly.
