The Beginning After the End episode 4, titled Saved by the King, commenced where it left off in the previous installment as Sylvia teleported Arthur in the middle of a forest. Immediately after getting teleported, Arthur heard a scream and followed the noise. When he reached the source of the noise, he saw a bunch of bandits kidnapping a small elf girl.

Arthur then tailed them as night fell. After looking at his environment, Arthur rushed when it seemed right. Taking down one member of the bandits' group at a time, Arthur eventually had to face the bandits' gang leader, who was a mage. Fortunately, the leader's magic skills couldn't magic the protagonist as Arthur single-handedly defeated the entire gang.

Afterwards, Arthur saved the elf and was about to head towards his home. However, the elf wanted him to accompany her to the forest, where elves lived. So, Arthur couldn't help but head towards the forest of the elves before heading towards the human kingdom. During their journey, Tessia revealed that humans had the reputation of perverts among the elves.

Even though Arthur tried to clear this misunderstanding, he couldn't really understand why humans had such a notorious reputation. After a few days of travelling, Arthur and Tessia reached a portal which, as claimed by the latter, would lead them towards the forest of the elves.
