Guild health checkup at the beginning of the year. Due to a mistake made by nurse Les Smith, the doctor leaves halfway through the checkup. Fearing that his mistake will be discovered, Lesmith pleads with Kikuru to pretend to be a doctor and perform the rest of the diagnosis, but...the remaining patients are, above all, a group of 4 rookie guards! If you find out, you will die (in the world). What will happen to Kikuru's unscrupulous doctor play...

The group is a little relaxed with quests that aren't demon subjugation, but...a monster's long tail entangles Meidena, who accidentally bathed in pollen while she was acting alone.

Kikuru and Toxico set a clever trap for the repelling spider, but once again things don't go well with their plan.

Finally, payday is here! Hitamuki and the others happily accept their reward after these hellish quests, but ultimately realize Kikuru's daily sacrifice to keep them alive. So they decide to return the favor during his precious day off…
