With him are three others who performed the same spell; the handsome Seiji, his sister a nameless Loli-Girl, and a tsundere named Seika. Finding useful items they share them, but due to his Penniless status a coin Shigeru touches vanishes. Certain they think he is a thief Shigeru only accepts clothes and a wooden staff. Shigeru is not surprised Seika immediately dislikes him and he decides to separate from the group. They are attacked by goblins and Shigeru protects Seika, who chose a bow despite having no archery experience.

After reaching Iria town he tries to slip away but Seika gives him a hamburger for helping with her archery.

Shigeru decides if Kyoshiro is untrustworthy he can just beat him up. Kyoshiro reveals he reincarnated with another man who went on to become a king. They reach the bottom floor where Kyoshiro offers them a celebratory snack. Shigeru detects sleeping poison in the drinks and confirms Kyoshiro is a bandit who enslaves people newly reincarnated from Japan.

Since Penniless would only let him keep R3 Shigeru gives it to Seika. From their conversation Shigeru concludes Seika must have been rich but incredibly sheltered. Seika reveals when designing her new life she set her attractiveness to -16 to get bonus points then sneakily gave herself a passive ability that keeps her beautiful. Shigeru is shocked he didn't think of that himself. Shigeru further deduces Seika's clumsiness comes from being in a wheelchair. Seiji decides everyone should choose a career path to assign skill points. Seiji chooses Hero, Seika a Mage, Loli-Girl a Hunter and Shigeru an Epic Fighter. Shigeru convinces Seika a skipping rope is a martial art weapon, hoping it will improve her ability to walk. Seika tries to be friends with Loli-Girl and asks permission to call her Reeze.

Due to her guilt she intends to help Shigeru improve life for Seiji and Seika. The group set off for Valleria City to find work. An injured woman named Reia stumbles into their camp missing an arm. In her sleep it is revealed she also came from Japan and due to being cheated on by her boyfriend she hates women.

Seika gambles away R20,000 so casino manager Kajita approaches, believing Seika is rich. He offers her membership to the casino's Extra Stage for the extremely wealthy but Shigeru warns her to ask Seiji first. Reeze reveals Kajita's status screen shows he is immune to lies, hates rich people and delights in bankrupting them. Seiji notices the casino routinely posts high paying job offers at the unemployment centre, yet never hires anyone. The one exception was a man who was hired to identify potential rich people, except that man has now gone missing. Reeze also reveals a man leaving from the back of the casino accidentally dropped a human finger. Seika decides to accept the Extra Stage membership so she can investigate undercover. Reeze warns Shigeru Kajita might even be dangerous to him as his status screen shows if he is lied to he becomes able to use additional skills, plus his status screen is unnatural, like multiple screens smashed together at random. Seika goes undercover after learning from Shigeru how to avoid telling lies without actually telling the truth.

Kajita invites them to wager on artificial monsters fighting in his Collosseum. Kato breaks down and tells them all Kajita's crimes. Aldean arrives to defeat Kajita, so Seika transforms into her own angel form but hides her identity by claiming she is El Carone the Sun Maiden. Reeze joins in with a pair of demon wings and becomes simply Demon Girl. Shigeru is baffled why all three are hiding secret identities from each other. Shigeru insists Kato come with them as a witness, as it is obvious the casino could only have survived with the protection of someone in Valleria's government.
