With the Spirit Tortoise's defeat, Naofumi prepares for the impending awakening of the Phoenix within the next few months. He learns from Queen Mirellia that after handling the last Wave while Naofumi was in the other world, the other three Heroes have gone missing. She also says the Seven Star Heroes are missing as well, with the only one they know about being the Staff Hero: disgraced King Aultcray (Trash). The Queen also warns Naofumi that Malty (Bitch) has disappeared too. Naofumi and his party visit slave trader Beloukas in order to free the demi-humans that came from Lurolona Village to bring them back home, only to learn most of them have been purchased already. He frees all the slaves he does have and follows a lead to the nation of Zeltoble to free more. He discovers an underground auction featuring demi-humans being sold at exorbitant prices, and is convinced to take part in an underground fighting arena in order to gain enough money to free them. Naofumi talks at a bar with a mysterious woman to learn about the rules, while watching a fight with a demi-human boy named Fohl who purposefully loses the match. Naofumi, Raphtalia, and Filo enter the arena under disguises, playing up the theatrics until they win the match.

Naofumi is taken out for drinks by the mysterious woman, Nadia, when they are ambushed by several of their competitors who forfeited, who they easily deal with. Naofumi and his party restock on items at the local shop, where he gets acquainted with the famous merchant who runs it. With all the fighters forfeiting, the finals are set for Naofumi's team against Nadia. Using her lightning magic, she proves to be difficult for them to fight, even moreso when she transforms, revealing herself to be a killer whale demi-human. However, Raphtalia recognizes her, calling her "Sadeena", which causes her to stop and recognize both Raphtalia and Naofumi. Realizing his intentions to win the prize money to free the Lurolona slaves, which she was also doing, Sadeena throws the fight. But then, the sponsors stop Naofumi from winning, forcing them and Sadeena to team up against a new challenger, the mysterious "Murder Clown", who commands several puppets. Raphtalia and Filo fight it head on, while Naofumi and Sadeena cast a choral spell, granting Raphtalia an increase in power. She seemingly defeats the clown, but they escape using a dummy at the last moment. Murder Clown gives Naofumi vague warnings about the future before disappearing. The sponsors once again attempt to prevent Naofumi from winning his earnings, but the slave and shop merchants intervene, revealing his identity and backing them up. Meanwhile, Fohl picks up medicine which he takes to his gravely injured sister, Atla.

Fohl and Atla are bought by Naofumi, who uses one of his potions to heal Atla. Naofumi returns to Seyaette with the freed demi-humans, making preparations to bolster their defenses, while Fohl helps his sister recover. One night, a group of slavers attack the village but Fohl uses a flare left by Naofumi to warn him and his party, who return in time to defeat the attackers and protect the children. As the enemies have ties to another noble, Naofumi is informed that he could neither arrest nor execute them and decides to make an example of them by selling them as slaves in Siltvelt. At the capital, Naofumi holds a ceremony at the Dragon Hourglass to reset Sadeena and Fohl's stats, welcoming them to his party. At the castle, they pass by Aultcray, who approaches Fohl and Atla, finding them familiar. Queen Mirellia tells Naofumi about Aultcray's days as the Staff Hero, how he used to be a renowned warrior and tactician, fighting for the sake of his younger sister, until her death left him vengeful and ruthless.

Alongside Motoyasu's resurgence, the Queen also reveals that Ren's companions were all killed, and that Myne is still missing. In Seyatte, Naofumi meets an unfamiliar girl named S'yne, who Filo recognizes as being Murder Clown. She asks to join the village but he kicks her out, unable to trust her. Naofumi, Raphtalia, and Filo head out to the nearby city where they find a down-trodden Motoyasu attempting to reunite with his old party member Elena. Naofumi tries to talk with him but he escapes, so he questions Elena about what happened. She revealed they went to attack the Spirit Tortoise first, but upon realizing Motoyasu wasn't strong enough to defeat it, they abandoned him. At a nearby tavern, Naofumi encounters Ren, whose party members all died when they tried to fight the Tortoise; however, he refuses to take responsibility and blames them for being too weak. Naofumi tries to reason with him, but it is all upended by the sudden arrival of Myne, who easily manipulates Ren into believing Naofumi to be the cause of everything, as well as claiming Motoyasu assaulted her too. She also reveals to have somehow blocked the influence of her slave crest. Ren goes mad and starts wildly attacking Naofumi, before escaping with Myne. As a result of being painfully rejected by Myne, Motoyasu drowns into a depressive spiral, until seeing Filo dancing rejuvenates his spirits. Now completely obsessed with Filo, Motoyasu begs Naofumi for her, so they knock him out and leave.

S'yne appears and helps the party to defeat them, with their bodies mysteriously disappearing. With Naofumi still suspicious of her, S'yne reveals that she is a vassal hero from a world that was previously destroyed and the enemies they fought had ties with those responsible, thus she wants to protect the other heroes to prevent the same from happening to their world. Despite still having some doubts, Naofumi takes S'yne in and sets to the Dragon Hourglass with some of the children who reached Level 40 to class up. Meanwhile, both Aultcray and Mirellia acknowledge that Atla has a striking resemblance with someone they know. Once back home, Naofumi learns from Eclair that a group of bandits appeared nearby and decides to hunt them down with his party, including Keel, Fohl, and Atla.

After running away with Myne, she betrays him and steals his equipment. This event, the townspeople chastising him for disappearing during the Tortoise's attack, and the otherworldly assailants trying to kill him spiral Ren into further madness, causing him to unlock his Curse series, and take on his bandit identity. In the present, Naofumi takes over the battle from Motoyasu, where Ren reveals his Greed and Gluttony abilities, ranting about his desire to become the strongest. The rest of the party members arrive and Eclair decides to fight Ren head-on, with her superior sword skills in conjunction with his erratic behaviour eventually allowing her to win the fight. The otherworldly assailants return to attack everyone, but Motoyasu effortlessly kills them, revealing his power increase as a result of taking Naofumi's advice, and Raphtalia destroys their souls to prevent them from reviving again. Eclair brings Ren back to his senses, saying she will help him find a purpose to get stronger, as he remembers dying in his old life protecting some girls from a knife attack.

They receive a package from Siltvelt which includes a dragon egg, and upon one of the demi-humans, Wyndia's, insistence, Naofumi agrees to raise it. He's forced to carry it around with him at all times in order to help with its growth, to his annoyance and everyone's amusement. Meanwhile, Atla continues to sleep in Naofumi's bed each night, irritating Fohl and Raphtalia. S'yne creates a doll using an accessory from the enemies from the other world to help communicate better with the others. The egg eventually hatches into a baby red dragon, which Wyndia names Gaelion. The two grow to become close, playing with the other demi-humans, though Gaelion wants to play with Naofumi.

Atla is able to temporarily heal her, and Filo insists on joining on the journey. They arrive near the mountains, where the villagers that Naofumi previously saved from the dragon's plague tell him that Gaelion has taken residence in the Dragon's Den. On the trip up, Wyndia demonstrates her magic abilities, and Ren voices his regret over how he handled killing the original dragon. They enter the cave and confront the evolved Gaelion, only for Filo to suddenly arrive. Despite staying back to rest, the curse compels her to face the dragon, and is promptly swallowed by it. The party fights the dragon, eventually knocking it down, but before they can deliver a final blow, Wyndia stops them. She reveals that the dragon was her father, and while she initially detested the Heroes for killing him, she's grown to like Naofumi, and begs the dragon to return the body to Gaelion. Just then, the dragon evolves once again, as the Emperor Dragon from Kizuna's world takes control, declaring its desire to destroy everything and to take revenge against Kizuna. After knocking everyone out, the Dragon attacks Wyndia, forcing Naofumi to use his last remaining strength to attempt to defend her.

Wyndia reveals to Atla and Fohl how she was raised by the dragon, also named Gaelion, after her father's death, until it was killed by Ren. Having finished their preparations, Naofumi lures the Emperor Dragon out, and while the rest of the party do what they can to keep dragon busy, Atla and Fohl are successfully able to finish the job, rescuing Filo and Gaelion. Wyndia says goodbye to her father, as they proceed to destroy the Emperor Dragon when it tries to flee, its essence returning to Naofumi's Shield. Naofumi chastises the villagers, realizing they manipulated Ren into killing the original Gaelion just to take his treasure; Ren apologizes to Wyndia and she forgives him. Naofumi discovers that the original Gaelion's soul now resides within Gaelion's body, but is told to not reveal the truth to Wyndia for her sake; he also discovers Filo's curse has been dispelled.

Sadeena reveals that Raphtalia is a descendant of the royal family of Q'Ten Lo, an isolated nation, with Sadeena protecting her and her parents since they took refuge in Lurolona, fleeing from the dispute for the throne.
