After Kazuma and his party return to Axel, he is still traumatized by his experiences battling the Demon General Sylvia. Frustrated at his poor luck in romance, Kazuma decides to change his class to monk and join a religious order. As Kazuma travels to a nearby shrine, Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness follow him to try and convince him to change his mind. On the way, they encounter a wounded girl which Kazuma warns is a monster called a Tranquility Girl in disguise that presents a facade innocence to lure her prey in. Despite Kazuma's warnings, none of the party can bring themselves to kill the Tranquility Girl and spare her life. Kazuma later decides to double back to instruct the Tranquility Girl not to attack the local monks, only to catch the Tranquility Girl showing her true personality. He then recovers a magic mallet from one of the Tranquility Girl's victims which can create gold coins out of nowhere and decides to return to Axel, only for Chris to steal it from him. Later that night, Hagen delivers a message from the kingdom's first princess, Iris, inviting Kazuma and the party to a royal dinner.

After selling a batch of lighters from Wiz's shop, Kazuma and his party head for Darkness' castle to meet Iris. Despite a rough start, the dinner proceeds smoothly until Iris asks Kazuma to tell a story of how he defeated Kyouya. Kazuma, not wanting to reveal that he resorted to trickery by using his Steal skill, tells an embellished tale. However, when he is forced to admit that he is just the Adventurer class, the weakest of all classes, Iris begins to doubt Kazuma's story. Darkness then steps forward to defend Kazuma's integrity, insisting he is a trusted comrade of hers. Iris' bodyguard Claire then challenges Kazuma to a duel to test his skills. However, the duel quickly ends when Kazuma uses his Steal skill and accidentally steals Claire's underwear instead of her sword. Despite this, Iris only becomes more fascinated with Kazuma, and he promises to tell her more stories about his adventures. As Iris and her retinue are about to teleport back to the capital, she pulls Kazuma into the teleport spell as well, taking him to capital with her.

Kazuma is welcome as a guest at the royal palace due to Iris very rarely acting on her desires. While wary at first, Kazuma quickly builds a connection with Iris, who considers him like an older brother. He decides to stay at the palace a little longer, acting as her playmate and learning that she lives a lonely and isolated life inside the castle due to her royal status as well as constant attacks by the Demon King's army. One week later, Darkness, Aqua, and Megumin arrive at the palace to bring Kazuma back to Axel, but Iris requests to hold a going away feast for him. During the feast, Kazuma overhears the nobles talking about marrying Darkness off to the first prince, Jatice. He then meets privately with Iris, who admits that she likes him because he treats her as an equal instead of a princess like everybody else. Upon hearing about a mysterious thief who has been targeting nobles with bad reputations in the capital, Kazuma volunteers to catch the thief in an effort to stay in the castle with Iris. However, his plan backfires when Claire sends him to stay in Alderp's mansion, which is the most likely place to be robbed by the thief next.
