Episode Description:
Hulemy reveals Lammis hates losing people since her and Hulemy’s parents were killed in a monster attack. Suori tells Hulemy there will be a gathering of merchant families and their magic item engineers. A girl from a rival family named Kanashi will be there and Suori is desperate, so she asks Hulemy to pretend to be her engineer and Boxxo her latest magic item. Kanashi's engineer presents an automaton that obeys orders. Hulemy is outraged as it was made with a human soul, which is against the law. When the automaton goes berserk, Hulemy helps free the trapped soul. As such, Kanashi is disqualified. Later, the village restaurant owners panic when a popular restaurant called Chains opens a branch in the village, which will put them out of business, so they ask Boxxo for help. Lammis and Hulemy discover Chains' food is low quality, so Boxxo provides several novel items which the chefs reverse engineer so they can make them themselves. Chains goes out of business in only one month. Kerioyl asks Boxxo and Lammis to join a campaign. Despite Boxxo's mistrust, he decides to accompany Lammis as she wishes to keep improving her abilities.
