The village elder appears on TV offering a reward to anyone who helps them.

When the trio show up at the village, they are part of a very large group all of whom are there to fight the monsters for the gold. Yet the elder and the villagers yell at everyone to leave, saying that the village will be ransacked if they let them in. All other adventures leave, but the Yorozuya stay behind long enough to hear that the reason the villagers chased everyone out is because the monsters drop golden balls once defeated.

Adventurers show up at the village at the promise of gold as a reward.

The gang gets excited and ignoring the villagers begin to defeat monsters and collect the golden treasure around the strangely modern village with names of the buildings all having the word 'happiness' in them. The villagers begin to do so as well, and soon very few monsters are left. Prince Hata and Jii appear, trying to find Orochin, the famed monster, but are ignored by everyone. Gin forces Sachan, who was spying on them as usual, to use her ninja skills to help them track down more monsters. The more gold everyone collects, the more their greed begins to show as dark energy aura around them. In the end, however, no monsters are left, and everyone heads up to the mountain where Orochin, the final monster, dwells.

Orochin's true form!

Once there, Gin quickly defeats the large monsters dwelling inside the cave, and a small ball of energy gets left behind which sucks the dark greed from everyone. The villager's secretary, a blond woman in a business suit that was calmly watching the fights this whole time, turns out to be the real Orochin who needed everyone's greed to turn into her true form. As she does so, the golden balls turn to dirt, and she flies away. The elder is resigned that he will no longer be able to build a hapy village, while Gin consols him that there are both good and bad times.

The episode ends with Yorozuya fighting over 100 yen on the ground.
