Synopsis

The Catastrophe arc

After being trapped in the MMORPG Elder Tale, the Adventurers discover that the Intercity Transport Gates are not working, making it difficult to travel to other towns. Roderick, alongside many other players, is distressed by this news.

The Round Table Conference

Under the misconception that he was taking part in a new legendary-class quest, Roderick agrees to support Shiroe's plan by cooperating with Marine Agency and 8th Shopping District Center in donating a combined total of 4.5 million gold. Later on, the truth about the gold's use is discovered, and he receives instructions for making food taste real as well as Crescent Moon Alliance's recipes instead.

After studying these instructions, his guild and the other two major crafting guilds, Marine Agency and 8th Shopping District Center, were able to apply these food-making concepts to other crafting subclass skills. Eventually, they succeeded in creating a prototype steam engine. Because of the knowledge provided by Shiroe, he agrees to the creation of the Round Table Alliance, as it will stimulate Akihabara's economy and result in great profit.

Invitation from Eastal

Both he and Charasin stay behind to finish work on the Ocypete after beating Michitaka in a game of rock-paper-scissors.

Fallen Guardian arc

While Shiroe was away on his trip to Susukino, Nyanta delivered a letter to Roderick from the former, which contained details on the changes occurring in the world. The inclusion of the realization of flavor text on items and the growth in distance of the world piques Roderick's interest. Having been told by Nyanta that he already skipped lunch while obsessing over his research, the two go out for ramen together.
