This is the Arcanletia hot springs arc, which is the last event covered by the anime's second season. The anime is overall a faithful adaptation, but there are some key differences. One of them is in the final battle.
It is a fun read. Even though I am familiar with the events that this book covers, it was still fun to read through them. It is a slightly difference experience, because the light novels are written from a first-person perspective. We get a lot of more of Kazuma's thoughts here, such as how much he wants to avoid any and all demon-general plots. This is his vacation!
There are a few extras here that are not in the anime. Scenes that were cut for one reason or another. One scene is at the start, and it is among the funnier things in the volume. Another is part of the epilogue and provides a different perspective on the ending.
