Незнакомец (2022)

After a small incident in his store involving a couple of unruly customers, Ryoma decides to create reinforced glass in the mines. It's also there that Ryoma discovered the evolved form of a Poison Slime called the Medicine Slime. He would later also meet a new god that had taken a liking to him named Tekun.

Ryoma learns that people are targeting his shop because he has associated himself with the head of the Tamer Guild, Taylor. To combat this, Ryoma has new positive rumors spread about his shop and deals with any assailant who tries and attack him. Ryoma also learns that he's gained enough finances to open up a second shop in a different city.

Arriving in Lenaf, Ryoma doesn't waste any time and meets with Pioro, the head of the town Merchant Guild, and his daughter Miyabi. From there, Ryoma sets up his second shop with the help of his Slimes and later does a quest for the Adventurers Guild, where a Smash Boar confront him.

Ryoma hunts a Smash Boar, and after he does, Callum arrives at Lenaf with Tony, Caulkin, Lobelia, and new hires to help open the second shop. Sometime after it opens, Ryoma returns to Gimul where he meets with Serge to talk about the Magical Item Market he plans on visiting.

Seeking to take on some adventurer quests from the Adventurer Guild to raise his rank, Ryoma accepts a delivery quest to someone in Keleban. The quest makes Ryoma gain a new acquaintance there and perhaps a future business opportunity.

Ryoma attends the Magical Item Market, where he meets Fedele, Dionme's grandson, and instantly bonds with him. He later develops some new deodorant pouches from the newly evolved Deodorant Slime and would soon become acquainted with G-Ranked adventurers Wist and Beck. Fernobelia would also meet with Ryoma for the first time too.

A curious Ryoma learns about a certain upcoming festival through Eliaria's letter and decides to run a food stall at the festival.

Ryoma is introduced to the Semroid Troupe leader Prenance and, from him, learns about Tunnel Ants nesting in the Southern Fields outside of Gimul. Hence Ryoma decides to hunt the Tunnel Ants and, amid this, runs into Beck and his adventuring pals, which he later hires them as temporary staff to help with the upcoming Founder festival.

Elia's first month at the magical academy is uneventful, but she meets new friends, Michelle, Miyabi, Feila, and Kanan. After forming a group with them, they go on a two-day camping trip, which their individual skills manage to help out their student peers.

Following a request from Worgan, Ryoma and some of his fellow adventurer friends take on a quest in a nearby forest to harvest Treant materials. They get more than what they bargained for when they have to face off against an evolved version of the Treant monster, an Elder Treant.

After completing the quest to collect Treant wood from a nearby forest, Ryoma finds that the work for the upcoming Founders Festival is coming along nicely.

It's finally the day of the Founding Festival, and Ryoma's food stall is a hit with the people of Gimul. Once Ryoma has time for himself, he encounters a lost boy who he decides to take to the Guard Station. When the festival was over, Ryoma participated in one last performance held by the Semiroid Troupe.
