The group stop at the maze stratum's Hunter's Association headquarters. While the Menagerie of Fools return to Clearflow Lake village, Director Bear asks Lammis and Hulemy to begin mapping the maze. Mishuel, a young handsome hunter, begins working in the maze as well. However, once alone, Boxxo witnesses Mishuel's real personality where he is nervous and lacks confidence. Mishuel joins their group, even though it means working together for three weeks with his terrible communication skills. Lammis becomes unwell from getting her period, so Boxxo dispenses menstrual pads and transforms into a washing machine to clean her clothes. The experience actually brings Mishuel out of his shell. After another week, they encounter assassins sent to kill Mishuel for a mysterious reason linked to his past. Although he didn't want Lammis and Boxxo involve, they persuade him by having him use his attack on Boxxo's shield to prove that they aren't helpless, although this costs Boxxo a lot of points. Boxxo takes the form of a car wash pump and with his help, they are easily defeated. Mishuel decides to leave, but Lammis suggests he join the Menagerie of Fools since they will not care about his past and will welcome his strength in battle. The group finally return home and find in Boxxo's absence, Chains has been using fake vending machines to sell their low quality food, though with Boxxo's return, they are quickly exposed and shut down.
