The Daily Life of a Middle-aged Online Shopper in Another World episode 4 recap

Expand Tweet

The Daily Life of a Middle-aged Online Shopper in Another World episode 4 began by jumping ahead to a month later, when Mallow and Primula were set to return. However, on their way home, Shaga and his group of bandits attacked them and kidnapped Mallow. Kenichi agreed to go rescue them, buying a flatbed truck from Shangri-La and asking people to join him. Amana, the mage from the shop, Myaley and the beastfolk, the knight, and the bobcat all joined him.

The group then set out after getting approval from the Adventurer’s Guild, stopping along the way to eat dinner and rest before attacking. Meanwhile, Primula met Anemone, and Shaga implied that he kidnapped her because he was hired by a noble to do so. Kenichi and his group then attacked as the bandits were partying, minus Amana who stayed behind to let the Adventurer's Guild know something happened if they weren’t back in a day.

Kenichi and co then began their assault, as Primula promised Anemone that god would help them escape. Kenichi and his allies made quick work of the drunk and off-guard bandits, forcing Shaga to take Primula hostage. Thankfully, Myaley and Kenichi were able to get her free again, seemingly killing Shaga immediately after. The episode ended with Anemone and Kenichi finally meeting, and Kenichi seemingly realizing he reciprocated Primula’s feelings.

What to expect from The Daily Life of a Middle-aged Online Shopper in Another World episode 5 (speculative)

The Daily Life of a Middle-aged Online Shopper in Another World episode 5 should begin with Kenichi and co’s successful return to Dahlia. The townsfolk will no doubt be shocked to see they survived, further building Kenichi’s reputation in turn. The Adventurer’s Guild should not only heavily congratulate Kenichi, but implore him to become a true adventurer given his success.

He’ll likely brush this off due to still needing to get Primula home, with the reunion taking up a significant chunk of the episode. The closing focus will likely be something that relates to the inventor from a neighboring empire, who seems to be the next antagonist.
