Summary[]

A few days following the quest against the Snow Sprites, Kazuma gets into an argument at the Guild with a drunken Dust, who had insulted him for his weak class forcing his party into taking on porter work, when in fact it was because Kazuma was still recovering from his death. Although his companions advise him to stay calm, Kazuma finally loses it when Dust comments on him owning a harem with fine girls, and agrees to a swap of party members.

Partnered with Dust's party members Taylor, Rin, and Keith as they head into the mountain woods for a quest to hunt Goblins, Kazuma surprises his new companions over how a mere Adventurer like him is the leader of his party. Meanwhile, Dust who has to bear the baggage of Darkness, Megumin, and Aqua is surprised at how the Crusader is heading out on a similar quest unarmed and unarmoured.

As Taylor briefs the party about their upcoming tactics, Kazuma feels reassured at finally being in a real party without the three troublemakers, when his Sense Foe picks up one enemy approaching from the trail ahead. Using Ambush to hide himself and his companions behind the roadside brush, Kazuma witnesses walking past a black feline beast that the others frightenly identify as a Beginner's Bane, which is known to herd Goblins as bait to attract the low-level adventurers it preys on.

Peering at the Goblins' camp where the numbers of the monsters are several times more than expected, Kazuma and his companions are soon discovered. Goblin archers accordingly shoot at Taylor, but Kazuma deflects the arrows with Wind Breath, before Rin casts Wind Curtain in a display of real support magic that impresses Kazuma. When the rest of the Goblins start closing in, Kazuma Creates Water on the ground in front of them and then Freezes it, making the charging Goblins all slip and fall. After a simple effort of taking them all out, Kazuma is lauded on the way back by his companions for his creative usage of Basic Magic.

They however soon find the Beginner's Bane heading towards them from the trail ahead, though as the others prepare to confront the charging beast, Kazuma Creates Earth and then blows them using Wind Breath into the Beginner's Bane's eyes, giving the party enough time to flee past the blinded feline. As the overjoyed party later takes a rest, Rin reads from Kazuma's Adventurer Card how high his luck stats are, and Taylor offers to have Kazuma join them permanently.

Back at the Guild, Kazuma and his companions are greeted by Aqua and Dust respectively carrying the limp forms of Darkness and Megumin back, with all four of them looking worse for wear. Dust accordingly recaps how Megumin had shown off her Explosion at an empty field only to attract a Beginner's Bane, then after Megumin slumped down Darkness charged out to get herself ravaged before Aqua recklessly attacked, so at the end Dust begs to be back with his original party.
