The Crimson-Eyed Lonely Master Megumin manages to be the top scorer in the latest round of tests, earning her a skill point potion. However, she notices Yunyun not acting like her normal self. Later, Yunyun confides in Megumin that one of their classmates, Funifura, has a younger brother who is ill and she has been asking to borrow money from Yunyun to buy medicine. Megumin realizes that Funifura is taking advantage of Yunyun's desperation for friendship to pressure her. Instead, Megumin crafts a healing potion and gives it to Funifura in return for Yunyun's money. Funifura then teases Megumin about how she seems to go out of her way to protect Yunyun even though she claims they aren't friends. Later, Yunyun reveals to Megumin that she's deliberately been holding back in her tests so that she and Megumin can graduate together, which angers Megumin. They then get into a fight after Yunyun insults explosion magic, which Yunyun manages to win. Megumin tells Yunyun how she was inspired by the mage that saved her, and once she graduates she will go on a journey to track her down. Yunyun offers to be Megumin's traveling companion. However, a horde of monsters suddenly attacks the village, and Megumin rushes home to find Komekko missing.
