Episode 9 Plot Summary: New Town, New Quests, and Familiar Delights
Episode 9 sees Mukoda, along with his powerful familiars Fel, Dora-chan, and Sui, departing from the town of Dolan. The group decides to move on as rumors of their previous dungeon quests and Mukoda’s growing reputation begin to spread, something Mukoda prefers to avoid. Instead of more dungeon crawling, Fel, with his insatiable appetite, suggests a hunting expedition to make the most of Mukoda’s recently acquired A-rank adventurer status.
Upon arriving at a new town, Nahhoff, the group initially faces scrutiny from guards wary of Fel and Dora-chan’s imposing presence. However, Mukoda’s A-rank guild card swiftly clears their path. In Nahhoff, Mukoda meets Goron, the Adventurer’s Guild Master, and accepts two new high-ranking quests: the extermination of malevolent plants in a forest and cyclopes from a clay mining site.
A Home Away From Home and Culinary Creations
To accommodate his powerful companions, Mukoda rents a spacious house through the merchant guild in Nahhoff, which conveniently comes equipped with a large kitchen, a refrigerator, and even a bath. This upgraded living situation allows Mukoda to indulge in his passion for cooking. He prepares a delightful dinner of curry rice, featuring two different curry roux, much to the immense satisfaction of Fel, Dora-chan, and Sui. The episode also includes a humorous segment where Fel is reluctantly but thoroughly bathed.
Unique Combat Strategies
When tackling the quest to exterminate the evil plants, Mukoda and Sui team up. While Sui employs his signature acid attacks, Mukoda creatively utilizes “Japanese-made herbicides” sourced via his “Online Supermarket” skill, proving surprisingly effective against the fantastical flora. Meanwhile, Fel and Dora-chan handle the deeper, more dangerous parts of the forest. The episode maintains the series’ characteristic lighthearted approach to combat, where monsters are typically dispatched with ease.
Character Focus and Ongoing Themes
Episode 9 continues to highlight the endearing dynamic between Mukoda and his familiars, as well as the recurring theme of Mukoda’s reluctant heroism tempered by his desire for a peaceful, food-filled life. Discussions among fans touched upon Sui’s potential future evolution into an “Emperor Slime,” a prospect that adds an intriguing layer to the beloved slime’s development.
While praised for its delightful and comforting atmosphere, some viewers noted that the episode, like others in the season, follows a somewhat repetitive structure, with the main plot points sometimes feeling secondary to Mukoda’s cooking segments and the adorable antics of his familiars. Nevertheless, “Campfire Cooking” continues to be a fan favorite for its unique blend of fantasy, comedy, and, of course, mouth-watering food. The season is expected to run for 12 episodes.
