Fans of “Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill” (Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hōrō Meshi) can now enjoy the ninth episode of its second season, which premiered on December 2, 2025. The popular anime, known for its cozy Isekai setting and focus on gourmet food, returned for its second season in October 2025, much to the delight of viewers.
Episode 9 Synopsis and Highlights
Titled “Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill Season 2 – Episode 9,” the latest installment sees Mukoda, Fel, Dora-chan, and Sui venturing out of the town of Dolan, aiming to capitalize on Mukoda’s newly acquired A-rank adventurer status. Instead of traditional dungeon exploration, Fel proposes a hunting expedition.
While the episode maintains the series’ characteristic tranquil tone, some reviewers noted a slightly aimless plot during the initial segments. The group’s journey involves drifting between towns and encountering familiar puzzled guards, which some found to be repetitive beats in the series’ formula. However, the episode picks up with the long-awaited hunting expedition towards its latter half.
A notable development in this episode is Mukoda’s more active participation in combat. For the first time, he utilizes his skills, including “weed killer,” to fight against flower monsters alongside Sui, a departure from his usual strategy of avoiding direct confrontation. This shift comes after his recent A-rank promotion. Dora-chan also makes an appearance, though his hunting feats are largely shown off-screen, leading to some desires for more on-screen action from the pixie dragon.
Beyond the adventure, the episode continues to feature the anime’s signature cooking segments. As is typical for the series, Sui also showcases crafting skills by making new kitchen utensils and sausages, and even serves as a warm water shower and bodyguard. The episode culminates with Mukoda renting a house to prepare another meal for his familiars and companions.
