Kip. 5: Saved by a Smile from the Deadly Price Typically Extracted through Deals with Monsters That Dwell in the Deep like a True Ring of Solomon

5

The Monster Development Department is forced to travel far and wide to seek various Agastia executives, each of whom have their own secret lairs, to get their literal stamp of approval on their form. After several days of effort, they managed to successfully collect all the stamps, only to be told by their General Affairs department that two of the stamps were ineligible and must be resubmitted. Later, Dr. Hoen and her monster Elbucky of the rival organization Black Lore pay a visit to Agastia's Monster Development Department to get their story straight after Akashic destroyed their White Alligator monster. Elbucky finds herself attracted to Wolf Bete. Kuroitsu discovers that Hoen was Sadamaki's classmate back in high school. During their discussion, Hoen accidentally reveals that Black Lore is a "black company" that forces its employees to work unpaid overtime and doesn't give them paid vacations, unlike Agastia.
