Light Novel Volume 18/Synopsis

Prologue: The Meeting to Discuss Efficient Eating Enhancement
The day after the petrified Kizuna was rescued, Naofumi prepared an extremely large breakfast for the heroes. Still full from last night's meal, Glass and L'Arc lead the protest against Naofumi's force-feeding. However, Naofumi - still excited about his new eating enhancement power-up method - doesn't understand their hesitation. Glass proposes that they focus on creating a small amount of very high-quality food instead of an extreme amount of good food. While Glass, L'Arc and Raphtalia discuss options to get the ingredients, Naofumi feeds Filo, Sadeena, Shildina and S'yne. As the big eaters talk with Naofumi, the discussion moves towards body-types and relationships. While Naofumi is warming up to the idea of relationships, he still isn't personally ready for one. Since there are ingredients that make a person lose weight or increase their metabolism, obesity would not be a problem. Coming back to L'Arc, Glass and Raphtalia, Naofumi agrees to compromise and provide food efficiently without overfeeding. He also considers finding more advanced recipes.

Chapter One: Sloth
After breakfast, Naofumi, Glass and Raphtalia head to where Kizuna's petrification treatment was finally being completed. As the paralysis was lifted, a cursed aura surrounded Kizuna and she became extremely lethargic and reluctant to do anything except sleep. When Glass tried to rouse Kizuna, a cursed smoke of slothfullness billowed out of her which resisted any interference. Naofumi realized that the vanguards of the waves must have forced upon Kizuna a cursed weapon of sloth. With her torpor and a interfering accessory, Kizuna was unable to switch out of the cursed weapon which was giving her constant slothfullness. Ethnobalt suggests going to his home, the Ancient Labyrinth Library, to look for a way to lift this curse. Naofumi agrees and assembles most of his companions to accompany him.

Chapter Two: Library Search
Naofumi uses his Vassal mirror to teleport his party to the Ancient Labyrinth Library. Ethnobalt catches up with the other library rabbits and the rest of the party meet up with Altorese. They were able to confirm with Alto that descriptions of Malty, Mald and S'yne's sister have been spreading for their capture. Ethnobalt rejoins them and uses his library rabbit abilities combined with the Vassal Book to determine the general location of the book with the answers they need. Fighting through the labyrinth, they come to a large door with the symbol for the four Legendary Heroes. Naofumi uses his status as a Holy and Vassal weapon holder to unlock the door and they continue on. Eventually, they are led to a bookcase with a secret switch and a second door with symbols that look like Q'ten Lo's sakura lumina trees. Raphtalia uses her ability as the 'pacifier' and Heavenly Emperor of Q'ten Lo to open the door with Glass' help. They then come to the chamber of the master librarian. Inside they find a glowing vial with murals of the holy and vassal weapons. Ethnobalt uses his authority to release the vial and finds the book with the information needed to break the curse. The group decides to head back and S'yne teleports them back to the dungeon entrance
