Episode 2

Raising Money (金策, Kinsaku) is the second episode of the Welcome to the Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World anime series.

Plot
An older Kaga visits the village he first woke up in, now with five female slaves. Seeing a young boy named Mio, he gives Mio a sword called Scimitar of Rage. Roxanne is curious, but Kaga only admits he knew Mio's father. In the present, Kaga has sold his loot but still needs another 70,000. To earn money quickly, he decides to enter the labyrinth to loot valuables. Fearing his sword Durendal is too tempting for thieves, he hides it within his character menu and purchases a basic scimitar. Entering the labyrinth, he begins to experiment with the skills he has acquired. After slaying monsters, he notices depleting his magic causes depression, so he decides to avoid spellcasting until he can increase his magic capacity. After his first day, he earns a pittance on loot, meaning he must defeat more dangerous monsters for more valuable loot. Accidentally falling into a monster nest, he almost dies, only kept alive by Durendal's health and magic absorption enchantments. After defeating the nest, he returns to Vale and learns the comrades of the bandits he killed are in the area. Kaga decides to hunt them for the bounty.

Trivia
The episode is the adaptation of chapter 4 and web novel chapter 9 - Special edition Another route end, which is exclusive to the web novel. However there are a few differences:

 * The scene of Bikka and Kaga going shopping for a new weapon is moved to after he’s settled into the vale Pavilion, but of course without Bikka present for the scene.
 * The item box is presented in a game format within the anime, while in the manga it’s presented as an actual part of how the other world works.
 * In the anime the scene of Kaga going to the market for new clothes, after exchanging the branches for nars at the adventurers guild has been removed completely.
 * In the anime Kaga figures out teleportation as he goes to the labyrinth the 2nd time, while in the manga he learns it after surviving the monster den and figuring out that dungeon walk doesn’t work in special situations within the labyrinth.
 * Kaga leaving the labyrinth with a big bag of branches, is not present in the anime.
