Niña offers to lead them to the western ruins, but Sekai freezes time and comes back with a map. She shows him where on the map the western ruins are. He says he's going ahead. She protests that they are supposed to be partners, but he freezes time and says he can't afford to waste any more time. In a flashback, when he brought Fury in the cart to the castle, the guards wouldn't let him in because the King was asleep, so he'd have to come back later. Annoyed, he took Fury to an inn and let her bathe while keeping the ball gag in her mouth as a precaution because he was holding the key, and warning her not to try to escape. He froze time to sneak in and ogle her in the bathtub. Then he let her sleep before taking her to the King. He mourns all the wasted hours that took.
Sekai arrives in the ruins, but finds no goblins. While keeping time frozen for a week, he searches the woods and kills 34 goblins he finds. His Level goes up to 9 and his MP goes up to 10. Tired, he unfreezes time and takes a nap, believing it might take a while for the real boss to show up. Later, Niña and Fury catch up to him and wake him up. The timer is down to roughly 20 hours. They say the main goblin force has returned to the ruins. They enter and are shocked to find the goblins are about to rape a bunch of kidnapped girls. Disgusted, Sekai freezes time and kills every goblin he sees. Since he Leveled Up, he gained the ability to slash the air with his sword to create razor wind, which he is happy to demonstrate on the goblins. He enters a building and finds a girl shackled to a wall and threatened by a huge goblin king. He kills him, then unshackles the girl and unfreezes time. When she realizes she was saved, she hugs him and asks for his name. He gives it and is struck by her cute smile, thinking he really is a hero.
They meet up with the others. Niña is amazed that Sekai killed the goblins in an instant, while Fury deduces that he can freeze time. After giving the girls who need them blankets to cover themselves, Niña points out a tunnel that leads to the city, and this is how the goblins were able to kidnap the girls. Sekai tells Niña and Fury to lead the girls back to the city; he's meeting the King. He disappears from their perspective and Niña complains.
When Sekai arrives at the castle, the guards again won't let him in because the King is asleep. While wandering the city and grumbling, he runs into Niña, Fury, the girl he saved, and the girl's father. The man introduces himself as Cornelius the Merchant, and as thanks for saving his daughter, Fiona, he'll let them stay in his house for the night. Fiona says she hasn't properly thanked him yet for saving her. He freezes time to strip and ogle her, then returns her clothes and unfreezes time. They take Cornelius up on his offer. While the others sleep, Sekai thanks Fury for not running away, and she says she does what she wants. He asks for her help with something.
The next day, Sekai, Niña, and Fury appear in the King and Alicia's audience chamber. The timer is down to roughly 2 hours. The King says he has gotten reports of the girls who were returned to their families, so he believes Sekai succeeded. Suddenly, the sky turns dark and everyone is amazed when a brilliant fireworks display appears out of nowhere. Sekai is elated when he briefly sees "STAGE CLEAR" in his vision. When the sky returns to normal, Alicia says the phenomenon they just witnessed only happens when the Brave accomplishes an extraordinary feat, proving Sekai is the savior. The timer resets to 72 hours and starts counting down again. Alicia says she has faith that Sekai can defeat the King of Darkness. Annoyed that he has to do this all over again and eventually save the world, Sekai freezes time and pulls down Alicia's panties.
- Attempted Rape: Sekai saves the kidnapped girls from being raped by killing the goblins.
- Here We Go Again!: To Sekai's chagrin, the timer simply resets after he completed his task.
- When She Smiles: Seeing Fiona smile makes Sekai think being a hero is worth it.
