Broly and the Adventurers stopped Giant Man-eating Flowers from attacking the Monster Festival, while a hooded god watched his plan unravel. After the group returned to the Hestia Familia Residence, Ais, Leffia, and Theiona decided to stay overnight there as part of Ais’s idea of a perfect date.

• Lyu Lyra rescued a little girl from a Giant Man-eating Flower, and Ais and Theiona joined her to fight the monsters.
• Leffia began casting magic despite Theiona’s warning, but a monster trapped her with vines before Broly destroyed it and the other flowers with his Finger Sword.

• Ais asked to stay overnight at the Hestia Familia Residence, and Leffia and Theiona decided to join her.

After the Monster Festival, Uranus and Ganesha investigated the Monsters that appeared in Orario and considered how to uncover the culprits behind the incident. At Hearth Manor, Hestia and Liliruca welcomed the Loki Familia girls to the hot spring, where Broly’s massage impressed Ais and left Leffia tense as he began massaging her.

• Ganesha told Uranus that the Monsters in Orario had not been brought out by his children, and they agreed to investigate possible Dungeon passages and crack down on illicit trade.

• Ais tried Broly’s massage and felt lighter afterward, prompting Theiona and then Leffia to try it as well.
• Broly began massaging Leffia, whose body stiffened when his hand touched her nape.

Broly transformed into Theiona to help Leffia relax during a massage, then hosted the Loki Familia girls overnight. After Ais and Lyu joined Broly for morning sword training, Ais persuaded Lyu to make it a regular routine; meanwhile, Loki and Bert traced the monster scent into the sewers and found more Man-eating Flowers.

• Ais invited Broly to train with her in the morning, and Ais and Broly shared toiletries before practicing swordsmanship.
• Lyu came to Hearth Manor to train with Broly, joined Ais and him in a three-way spar, and accepted Ais's invitation to train with them regularly.
• Lyu asked Ais whether she liked Broly, and Ais said she did but did not understand romantic love; Ais then invited Lyu to keep training and bathing at Hearth Manor.
• Broly planned a Dungeon trip with Ais, Leffia, and Theiona, while Loki hired Bert to investigate the previous day's monster incident.
• Loki and Bert followed the scent of a Giant Man-eating Flower's magic stone into Daedalus Street's sewers, where they discovered more Man-eating Flower Monsters.

Loki investigated the Monsters that appeared in Orario and was led by Dionysus to suspect Uranus, while Dionysus concealed his own role in the conspiracy. In the Dungeon, Broly’s party was questioned about a murder in Rivera Town, and Loen asked Broly to help his companion Lulune.

• Bert detected another person's scent at the reservoir, and Loki learned that Dionysus’s child Ye En had been there.
• Dionysus showed Loki a special Magic Stone and suggested Uranus was behind the Monsters, prompting Loki to investigate the Guild.
• Dionysus told Filvis that intelligent Monsters were the reason Uranus promoted the Monster Festival and urged her to believe the surface world would never accept her.
• Broly took Loen and a party including Bell, Yamato Mikoto, and Leffia through the Dungeon, where they gathered drops before returning to Rivera Town.
• Mordo stopped Broly’s party and questioned them about Steel Fist Hashana, a Level 4 adventurer found strangled in an inn, then inspected their packs.
• After the party was cleared, Loen revealed that his companion Lulune had encountered trouble and asked Broly for help.

Lulune revealed that she had been carrying a Fetal Orb tied to the murder of Hashana, and Broly’s group was ambushed by Monsters and the killer, Revis. After the orb’s Fallen Fairy Clone awakened, it recognized Broly and fled, prompting Revis to escape while Ais pursued her to a cliff.

• Lulune told Bell and the others that a Black Robed Person had hired her to retrieve an item from Hashana, who had been murdered, and she showed them the Fetal Orb.
• Ais recoiled from the orb, but Broly recognized the Monster Fetus inside; Revis sensed the orb’s location and summoned Giant Man-eating Flowers to attack Rivera Town and block the group’s path.
• Revis approached Bell and the others disguised in black armor, demanded the orb, and fought them after Lulune identified her as Hashana’s killer.
• Revis overpowered Lulune’s companions and Leffia, but Ais returned and fought Revis evenly, learning that Revis knew the name Alia.
• Revis awakened the Fallen Fairy Clone from the Fetal Orb, but the creature recognized Broly and fled; Revis escaped too, and Ais stopped at a cliff above the lake rather than follow her into the water.

Ais and Broly helped stop the Man-eating Flower attack on Rivera Town, then learned from Royman about the Fetal Orb and the Dark Faction. Broly suspected Lyu was the wanted criminal Gale and sought information about her, while the chapter ended with an intimate night with Hestia and Liliruca.

• Ais confronted the Fallen Fairy Clone about Alia, and Broly killed it after it attacked her; the group then helped clear the Man-eating Flowers from Rivera Town.
• Mordo thanked Broly, Ais, and the others for their help, and they left after selling the monsters' Magic Stones.
• Royman told Ais and Broly that the orb was a Fetal Orb and that the killer was likely connected to the Dark Faction; he also confirmed the Guild had commissioned Lulune to retrieve it.
• Broly asked Sheele whether Lyu was Gale, and Sheele deferred her answer until she could consult Freya.
• Broly told Liliruca and Hestia about his suspicion, then spent the night with them and washed the bedding afterward.

Broly’s rapid growth left him struggling with an excess of vitality, and he declined to join the Loki Familia’s expedition preparations in the Deep Floors. He instead took Sheele on a date so she could tell him about Lyu’s past, leaving Lyu to cover Sheele’s work at the tavern.

• Broly woke feeling unusually energetic, then trained with Ais, Lyu, Theiona, and Leffia while his improved abilities let him face their attacks.
• Ais and Theiona invited Broly to join the Loki Familia’s Deep Floors monster-hunting trip, but he refused because Bell and his other friends could not come along.
• After training, Broly struggled to control his heightened vitality and later visited the tavern to ask Sheele about Lyu’s past.
• Sheele invited Broly to take her on a date, and he asked Mama Miya for permission to borrow her from the tavern for the day.
• Broly and Sheele left together, and Lyu decided to cover Sheele’s missed work.

Broly learned from Sheele about Lyu’s heroic past during the Dark Period and the revenge that made her a wanted criminal. Sheele asked Broly to bring happiness to Lyu, then shared a parfait date with him as Broly began telling her about his origins.

• Sheele told Broly how Lyu and the Astrea Familia protected civilians during the Dark Period despite being blamed by some of the people they saved.

• Sheele and Broly ordered another parfait and fed each other during their date.
• Broly said his past was complicated and began telling Sheele that he came from another world and had been exiled with his father to a remote planet.

Broly told Sheele about his life and travels across other worlds, and she agreed to consider a future encounter with him if he made her fall in love. After their date, Broly learned that Loen had leveled up and helped deliver Soma Familia's Divine Wine to the Hephaestus Familia, where Tsubaki had good news for him.

• Broly explained his otherworldly origins and past adventures to Sheele, who believed him and became fascinated by his stories.

• Broly visited Liliruca at the Soma Familia residence and agreed to deliver Divine Wine to the Hephaestus Familia.
• Tsubaki greeted Broly at the Hephaestus Familia and pulled him upstairs to share good news.

Broly formally married Hephaestus, then left before she could make their marriage physical because he had promised Fujimura Taiga to wait. Back at Hearth Manor, he avoided choosing between Hestia and Liliruca and considered joining the Loki Familia on a trip to the Deep Floors.

• Tsubaki brought Broly to Hephaestus, who confirmed she was willing to marry him after removing her eyepatch and dressing formally.
• Broly and Hephaestus sealed their simple wedding with a kiss, and Tsubaki kissed Broly too.
• Hephaestus hinted that she wanted Broly to stay the night, but he fled because he had promised Fujimura Taiga to wait.
• At Hearth Manor, Liliruca and Hestia competed to be first to grow closer with Broly, but he left them asleep and practiced outside until his blood and Qi calmed.
• Broly decided not to tell Hestia and Liliruca about his promise and considered accompanying Ais and the Loki Familia to the Deep Floors the next day.

Broly joined the Loki Familia’s Gold Farming Group to explore the Deep Floors and earn money, while arranging for Bell to team up with Yamato Mikoto’s Familia. The group entered the Dungeon, where Broly fought monsters with exuberant enthusiasm.

• Broly told Hestia and Liliruca he would go to the Deep Floors with the Loki Familia, and the two women formed an alliance to compete for his affection.
• Broly arranged for Bell to adventure with Yamato Mikoto and the Take Mikazuchi Familia, then asked Finn to let him join the Loki Familia’s group.
• Ais, Theiona, and Leffia offered to share their supplies with Broly, and Finn welcomed him into the group.
• On the way into the Dungeon, Broly told Ais, Theiona, and Leffia he could tell Ais was happy, prompting Leffia to watch Ais’s expressions closely.
• On the 25th Floor, Broly cut down a Surprise Fish and smashed Metal Blue Crabs, venting his pent-up energy as Finn recognized his mood.

Broly joined the Loki Familia’s Dungeon expedition, where his strength and Water Creation Magic impressed the team and brought him closer to Leffia and Ais. After the trio’s unusually high drop rate overwhelmed the expedition’s carrying capacity at the Death Arena, Finn ordered the combat members to become Supporters and transport their War Trophies to Rivera Town.

• Broly battered a Metal Blue Crab King, convincing the Loki Familia members of his strength, and the group camped on the 28th Floor.
• Leffia realized Broly’s Water Creation Magic was especially useful for Dungeon logistics, thanked him, and agreed to fulfill a future request if she did not object to it.
• Riviera encouraged Ais to share food with Broly, and Leffia joined them; Finn then agreed to let the Familia’s spellcasters learn Broly’s Water Magic.
• Because Broly and Ais killed Monsters too quickly for the rest of the group to fight, Finn led the expedition to the Death Arena on the 37th Floor.
• The group’s Supporter carrying capacity filled in three days because Broly, Ais, and Leffia had exceptionally high drop rates, so Finn ordered the combat members to transport their War Trophies to Rivera Town.

After five days of monster farming on the 37th Floor, Broly returned to Orario with a huge fortune and reunited with his friends, while Finn invited Hephaestus to join a future Loki Familia expedition. Meanwhile, Revis watched the White-haired Demon raise an army of Man-eating Flowers on the 24th Floor to prepare for an assault on Orario.

• Broly agreed to share his War Trophy profits with Finn's Loki Familia team in exchange for their Supporter services.
• Leffia and Broly unleashed wide-area fire magic to clear monsters in the Death Arena, but the group ended its five-day farming operation when their weapons and armor were badly damaged.

• Finn invited Hephaestus to accompany the Loki Familia on a future expedition, and Broly said he might join as well.
• On the 24th Floor, the White-haired Demon raised a horde of Man-eating Flowers, including a Level 6 Flower King, and declared his intention to overthrow Orario.

Reed and the other Otherworlders reported a Monster Riot on the 24th Floor, prompting Fels to hire the Hermes Familia to investigate the Filthy Sprite’s plans. Meanwhile, Broly’s Ability Values surged after his monster grinding, and he chose to keep training without leveling up before spending the night with Hestia and Liliruca; the next morning, Lyu questioned why he had slept in.

• Songbird told Reed that Strengthened Demons had entered the sealed Food Stockpile and that figures resembling Fels’s allies were involved, while Reed stopped Guros from rushing to attack.
• Fels reported the Monster Riot to Uranus, and they decided to commission an intelligence-gathering Familia to investigate the Filthy Sprite’s activity on the 24th Floor.
• Lulune told Asfi that Fels had offered the Hermes Familia a high-paying investigation commission and threatened to expose their concealed Guild records if they refused, so Asfi negotiated limits and accepted.
• Hestia updated Broly’s Second Ability Panel and found that four basic abilities exceeded ten thousand, but Broly refused to level up before the expedition because he wanted to preserve the benefits of Warrior Race and Super Heavy Load Training.
• Hestia and Liliruca helped Broly resolve his concerns about intimacy and his promise to Older Sister Fujimura, and Broly eventually settled into sleep between them.
• The next morning, Lyu asked Broly why he had slept in, and he admitted that he had been a little tired.

Asfi and Lulune identified Revis at the food stockpile and withdrew to seek reinforcements, while Fels chose Broly to help investigate the Monster Riot. Broly arranged plans to expand Hearth Manor and build Tsubaki a private forge before Fels approached him with a commission.

• Revis noticed Asfi and Lulune spying under an invisibility cloak but let them leave, while the White-haired Demon set up warning measures around the food stockpile.
• Asfi recognized Revis as the murderer from Rivera Town and decided to abandon the investigation unless she received stronger support.
• Fels agreed to send reinforcements, and Uranus and Fels decided against asking the Ganesha Familia for help.
• Broly asked Hephaestus and Tsubaki to include a large private forge, more bedrooms, a larger hot spring, and a training ground in Hearth Manor's expansion.
• Tsubaki accepted Broly's offer to fund her forge and protectively claimed him as her husband alongside Hephaestus.
• Fels stopped Broly on his way home and offered him a commission to investigate the Monster Riot.

Fels recruited Broly and Ais to investigate the Monster Riot and Monsterized People near the 24th Floor Labyrinth's Food Stockpile, revealing that Ais was believed to be the daughter of the legendary Wind Sprite Alia. Loki agreed to a joint investigation with Dionysus, unaware that he secretly ordered Ye En to kill the Loki Familia members; the team assembled at the Central Plaza the next morning.

• Fels told Broly that the Fetal Orb was a Filthy Sprite's seed and that Ais was believed to be Alia's daughter, then revealed she served as one of Uranus's private soldiers.
• Broly accepted Fels's investigation commission, and Fels also recruited Ais after explaining that the Monster Riot on the 24th Floor was linked to the Filthy Sprite's Monsterized People.
• Loki agreed to send Ais, Broly, Bert, Leffia, and Theiona to investigate the Food Stockpile the following day.
• Dionysus offered Loki a joint investigation and introduced Filvis, his Lv.6 Captain, as his representative.
• Dionysus secretly ordered Ye En to leave the Loki Familia adventurers in the Dungeon, then Filvis met the assembled investigation party at the Central Plaza.

Broly and the Loki Familia joined Asfi’s investigation party, where Filvis’s reputation as the Banshee unsettled the Hermes Familia. After the group agreed to continue together, Filvis warned Leffia that her curse brought misfortune to anyone who formed a party with her.

• Filvis skillfully fought off Hellhounds, impressing Leffia, but refused to become friendly with the party.
• The group reached Rivera Town and met Asfi and the Hermes Familia, whose members feared Filvis because of the 27th Floor Nightmare and the deaths of her past parties.
• Asfi agreed to guide the investigation herself, while the other Hermes Familia members backed out; the group decided to stay in Rivera Town overnight.
• Filvis asked Leffia if the group was splitting up, and Leffia said they were not despite knowing Filvis’s reputation.
• Filvis told Leffia that the deaths were no accidents and that anyone who formed a party with her would encounter misfortune.

Leffia persuaded Filvis to join the group despite Filvis’s confession and warnings, while Ye En abandoned Dionysus’s plan to harm the team. The investigation party reached the 24th Floor’s Food Stockpile route, where Broly and Ais cleared the gathered Monsters and the others noted their rapid growth.

• Leffia insisted that Filvis was kind and asked her to adventure with the group, then led her to the inn despite Filvis’s threats and resistance.
• Theiona apologized to Filvis, and Ais, Bert, and Broly each offered reassurance; Ye En realized Filvis’s feelings would prevent her from carrying out Dionysus’s orders.
• Olivas used the Flower King to produce a massive force of Man-eating Flowers, while Revis went to prepare a fallback escape route.
• The next day, Asfi led the rested investigation team to the path toward the 24th Floor Food Stockpile, where a dense crowd of Monsters blocked the way.
• Ais and Broly jumped into the Monster horde and slaughtered every Monster along the path in under half an hour.
• Asfi and Bert remarked on Ais’s and Broly’s strength, while Leffia and Theiona discussed Leffia’s own improved Ability Value.

Broly and the others entered the Food Stockpile, where Olivas and Revis ambushed them with an army of Man-eating Flowers. Broly crushed the horde and captured Olivas, allowing Filvis to avenge herself before the group returned to report their mission.

• Broly tore open the Food Stockpile entrance and led Leffia, Ais, Filvis, and the others inside, where Olivas revealed himself and summoned Man-eating Flowers.
• Asfi recognized Olivas as the supposedly dead Dark Faction executive, and Olivas explained that the Spirit Lord of the Dungeon had revived him and wanted Orario destroyed.
• Filvis attacked Olivas, but a Man-eating Flower blocked her magic, so Broly charged into the horde and destroyed the flowers and their Giant Flower.
• Revis detonated Fire Stones to collapse the Food Stockpile and escaped through a fissure, while Broly captured the fleeing Olivas alive.
• Broly left Olivas to Filvis, who pulled the Magic Stone from his chest and killed him, then thanked Leffia and Broly for their help.
• Broly declared the investigation mission complete, and Asfi later complained after learning the Guild Chief God’s private soldiers had commissioned it.

After Broly helped Filvis and the others in the Dungeon, he encouraged Filvis to live happily and offered to support Ais in seeking revenge against the Black Dragon. Filvis returned to the Dionysus Familia, where Dionysus urged her to hide her feelings and gather intelligence while secretly plotting to overturn Orario.

• Filvis apologized to Broly and thanked him for helping her get revenge, and she agreed to advise Leffia on Parallel Chanting.
• Broly apologized to Ais for failing to capture Revis and offered to help her seek revenge, but Ais said she wanted to defeat the Black Dragon herself; Broly agreed to support her from the sidelines.
• Ais and the others reported the Sprite of the Dungeon to Loki and Finn, and Loki decided to question Uranus about it.
• Dionysus warned Filvis that her new friends might reject her if they learned she was a Monsterized Person, then instructed her to remain close to them and gather intelligence.
• Dionysus privately revealed his plan to use the Filthy Sprite's power to overturn Orario and considered drawing Loki and Hermes into discovering the Artificial Labyrinth.
