Dennis (デニス, Denisu)
Voiced by: Shunsuke Takeuchi[1]

A rookie mage and one of Dennis' regular who is initially self-centered and thought highly of himself, causing him to frequently argue with his party and kicked out of it as a result.

Bachel (バチェル, Bacheru)
Voiced by: Satsumi Matsuda[2]
One of Dennis regular. A country girl who is a prodigy in magic. She joined Night Fog, who overworks and abuses her, and made her sign a contract that would not allow her to leave without legal repercussions.

A level 84 swordswoman who is known as the "Crimson Swiftsword" due to her agile fighting style and red armor.

The adventuring party Silver Wing fail to defeat a cave dragon. Captain Vigo blames their cook Dennis for his skill Dread Voice scaring the dragon away, even though it was Vigo who told him to use it. Despite their both being level 99 Vigo looks down on Dennis for being a cook and pressures the other party members to kick Dennis out. Dennis willingly leaves, actually grateful they are no longer his problem. Vice-captain Katie chases after Dennis, begging him not to leave since she knows Dennis has been vital to their victories in his supporting roles as cook, alchemist and healer, and without him Silver Wing are actually pretty useless. Dennis chooses to leave anyway, planning to open a restaurant. After obtaining a run-down shop Dennis comes across a slave-trader with a little girl supposedly the only survivor of a ruined noble family. Dennis is compelled to buy her to save her from the merchant Polvo, a known pervert. Traumatised from her past, the girl Atelier is surprised Dennis grants her freedom, but she decides to stay after trying his food.

The customer chooses the cheapest meal due to lack of money, so Dennis decides to just make a more expensive dish for free. The customer accidentally reveals she is a female adventurer named Henrietta. She explains despite her skills she was kicked from her all-male party just for being a woman and hopes to find work hiding her gender under male armour. Dennis asks around and finds a party of male adventurers willing to hire her. Later, Dennis hears a rumour an all-male party has been hiring female adventurers in order to take them into dungeons, rape them and leave them to be killed by monsters. Henrietta is thrilled her new party values her skills with a sword but after a full day of monster-slaying she is so tired she is easily paralysed by the party mage, revealing their contempt for female warriors. Dennis furiously appears with twin meat cleavers with a paper bag hiding his face, thus knocking out the rapists. Henrietta awakens at the adventurer’s guild with no idea how she got there but grateful the rapists have been found and arrested. She returns to Dennis’ restaurant and learns he had mysteriously closed the restaurant for the last two days. Looking closely of Dennis, she realises he somewhat resembles the paper bag man. Before she can ask about it she is interrupted by another customer's arrival.

Henrietta decides to get rid of her male armour when Dennis tells her to be herself as an adventurer, while reminding her she needs to start paying for her meals. Adventurer Vivia Strange comes in complaining local adventurers are too inferior to form a party with. Dennis realizes his last party probably kicked him out. Vivia eventually joins the Night Mist party for a job on the labyrinth’s fifth floor. Dennis worries as Vivia is too weak for the fifth floor. He confronts two members of Night Mist who admit they left Vivia alone on the fifth floor as a cruel test to see if he can survive. In the labyrinth, Vivia runs from goblins and his panic makes him forget all his spells. He is rescued by a young adventurer named Cynthia, whose party also abandoned her. Vivia realizes he has been an arrogant idiot and decides to help Cynthia escape. He draws the goblins to himself but is saved by Dennis, who scolds his idiocy. Accompanied by Dennis, Vivia tries to retrieve Cynthia but devastatingly finds only her skeleton in the hole where he was hiding. At the adventurers guild, Vivia learns Cynthia went missing 13 years ago when her party abandoned her in the labyrinth. Dennis explains lost adventurer’s spirits sometimes appear to help others who become lost in labyrinths. With help from Dennis, Vivia makes a grave for Cynthia and buried her properly. Heartbroken and ashamed, Vivia promises to visit Cynthia’s grave whenever he's free, to become a great wizard and rescue others who get lost in labyrinths.

Atelier's family butler Stevens tracks her down, revealing she is daughter of the Workstatt family, the greatest wizards in the kingdom. Atelier's uncle Joseph stole her inheritance when her father Lord Famas died, so the Royal Court of Justice wishes to investigate whether she or Joseph is the rightful heir. At the Workstatt mansion they meet Atelier's lawyer Sestavitch who retrieves Atelier's blood and uses a device to prove Atelier is daughter of Famas and his wife Eliza. Vivia is surprised to learn Dennis' surname is Blacks. Unfortunately, at the tribunal a second blood test proves Atelier is daughter of Famas' unidentified mistress. As such Joseph is awarded the family wealth while Atelier only receives Famas' book collection. Dennis is able to expose Stevens contaminated Eliza's blood so Atelier would appear not to be Eliza's daughter. Stevens admits Joseph bribed him and the magistrate to further discredit Atelier. Dennis is furious but legally cannot do anything. Instead they visit Famas library where Sestavitch discovers thousands of national treasure level books, collectively worth hundreds of times what Joseph inherited. Dennis is amused Famas probably meant for Atelier to inherit the library the entire time, leaving Joseph with almost nothing in comparison. Atelier decides to move the library to the restaurant where anyone can read them. Vivia encounters Heath, an intense man with a similar face to Dennis.

Due to the rare books on magic the restaurant is swarmed by wizards desperate to read them, pushing Dennis to his limit trying to feed them all. Atelier allows a visitor to borrow one of the books, hoping the spells can cure his wife’s illness. Dennis overworks and faints, dreaming of his childhood when he was homeless. He returned a purse a woman named Jean dropped in the street and in gratitude she took him in at Black’s Restaurant where she was head chef. Atelier blames herself for causing Dennis so much extra work. Sestavitch visits to read one of Atelier’s books but catches Henrietta almost destroying the kitchen trying to make food for Dennis. Dennis dreams of making fried rice that disgusted a customer due to his improper use of magic. Rather than yell at him Jean decided to teach him how to use magic in the kitchen. Sestavitch walks them through cooking rice using magic, though his technical descriptions confuse Henrietta. Polvo visits, offering to sell them a magic rice cooker that does the job automatically. Atelier assists and uses the rice for egg Okayu. Dennis enjoys the meal but is surprised Atelier let Polvo help with the rice.

Dennis takes everyone to a hot springs inn to celebrate Henrietta getting a steady job with the knights and Vivia finding a new adventuring party. Bachel also announces she is leaving to the royal capitol where she has been hired as a magic instructor. Polvo interrupts their party, first to flirt with Atelier, for which he is punished, then to offer thanks for being such good customers by providing A5 Haagen meat for a feast. Vivia asks Dennis if he is affiliated with the Blacks Restaurant. Dennis admits the chef who raised him let him use her family name, but the last time he saw her they argued about his desire to reach level 100, so he left and now feels uncomfortable using her name. They return to the restaurant to find it on fire; regular customers having apprehended two members of Night Mist who admit it was revenge arranged by Atelier's uncle Joseph, Captain Vigo and Hopper. Knowing they can't realistically defend themselves against such powerful enemies Dennis decides to leave with Atelier and open a restaurant somewhere far away, though promises to bring her back to visit everyone once it is safer. While they are packing more men approach the restaurant outside.

The men, and women and children, turn out to be Dennis' regular customers and many others he has met since opening the restaurant, all there to support him. Dennis realises he can't disappoint them and decides to stay, renaming his restaurant The Outcast's Restaurant. Katie arrives with news Vigo orchestrated the arson, but as Silver Wing's vice-captain she can't do anything except to reveal an interesting fact. Dennis decides to visit his foster mother, Jeane Blacks, revealing to everyone that Jeane is secretly one of the few living humans to have reached level 100 and earn the title Rank Sovereign. Everyone else begins contacting the greatest wizards and sages in the country. Henrietta visits Sestavitch for legal advice. Polvo puts his merchant skills to use. Atelier encounters the man to whom she leant one of her books to cure his wife's illness. The man returns the book, now the only remaining book of Atelier's collection after the fire, and offers his services as a powerful wind magic user. Dennis admits to Jeane he is no longer obsessed with reaching level 100. He then asks for her help as Katie had told him Vigo, Joseph, Hopper, a judge of the Royal Court of Law and many other influential people are scheduled to attend a dinner. As the kingdom's most influential chef, Dennis asks Jeane to find out where and when this dinner is taking place.

Jeane provides the location of the dinner and a secret hint about reaching level 100, which Dennis fails to understand. Vigo recalls as children his father died and his mother remarried, leaving Vigo and his sick brother alone. Vigo gained sympathy from local nobles but his feelings of inferiority caused him to set fire to their mansion. He then fled, leaving his brother behind and determined to surpass everyone in the entire world. First he joined the Silver Fang and secretly murdered Captain Gadeus to replace him. Afterwards he changed the party name to Silver Wings and began hiring powerful adventurers like Katie with the aim of controlling the kingdom. Now, Vigo attends the secret dinner with Joseph, Hopper and the Senior Judge of the Royal Court to discuss ruling the kingdom in secret using their influence over the law, military and politicians. Vigo plans to eventually murder all three of them so he can be the hero who exposed their crimes and saved the kingdom. From there he can be promoted to nobility, usurp the king and build an empire. Dennis appears and terrifies Joseph, Hopper and the judge with his Dread Voice so they admit to their crimes before Vigo can stop them. Atelier's wind magic mage projects their confession to a temporary restaurant Dennis set up in the courtyard below, filled with the kingdoms nobility and its most senior wizards and sages.

The nobles and mages are outraged, especially at the burning of Atelier's books, which can never be replaced. Sestavitch and dozens of other lawyers in the crowd prepare to immediately bring charges of treason. Vigo decides to kill Dennis then take over the kingdom by force and form a military dictatorship. Dennis proves Vigo's equal using his Chef Magic. They both recall the day Dennis joined Silver Wing and Vigo looked down on him for only wanting to achieve being a level 100 chef, whereas Vigo wanted the whole world to acknowledge him. Vigo's hatred of the nobility continued to grow, as did his frustration that Dennis didn't hate them as well, despite all the reasons he should do. Vigo pushes Dennis back and accuses him of taking the noble's side just because he was adopted by Jeanne and raised in a rich family. Dennis recalls Jeanne telling him he is too half-hearted to reach level 100. Dennis suddenly realises he became a chef because of the happiness he felt the first time Jeanne made him fried rice, a feeling he has tried to share with others through his own food. He also recalls what Jeanne recently told him; level 100 isn't something you become, it's something you already are without knowing it. Finally understanding what she meant Dennis unlocks the level 100 potential he always had in his heart and declares himself the Strongest Chef.

Dennis declares Vigo is permanently banned from his restaurant and unleashes his Level 100 unique skill "Forced Shop Exit Strike", burying Vigo deep into the earth. Vigo and his accomplices are arrested while Katie is made Captain of the Silver Wing. She asks Jeanne how Dennis achieved level 100 and Jeanne believes it comes from discovering the reason why you exist in the first place. For Dennis, it was protecting his customers from anyone who threatened them, though she also admits "Forced Shop Exit Strike" is a silly skill for a chef. Elsewhere, a man named Heath learns of Vigo's defeat but is unconcerned as it doesn't majorly affect his plans. He is also proud of his brother, Dennis, for his victory. The royal government begins arresting everybody that ever helped Vigo with his illegal activities. Even with Joseph arrested Atelier refuses to become head of the Workstatt family. The kingdom's mages begin a massive research project to invent a spell that can restore Atelier's fire damaged books. Everyone cooperates to rebuild the Outcast's Restaurant. Henrietta joins the knights and Bachel begins teaching at a magic academy. Vivia promises Cynthia he will return once he is a great wizard. Dennis reopens the restaurant and resumes cooking for all his friends.
