Episode 12 in its uncensored form is a "Super Harem Version" showcase. For viewers who waited for the Blu-ray releases or found the raw uncensored files (such as the NC-Raws release from September 21, 2022), the finale offered a complete, uninterrupted experience that the TV version could not provide.

The core narrative pivot of Episode 12 centers around the introduction of Sherry, a young dwarf girl. Michio's primary goal has been expanding his party to ensure safety in deeper labyrinth levels. Sherry brings a distinct set of skills to the group, notably her blacksmithing capabilities and master-key attributes, which contrast with Roxanne's pure combat prowess. The transaction and contract details mirror the cold, systemic rules of the world that Michio has fully adapted to using his intellect.
