*Rein and his teammates challenged the Shadow Knight to save Luna, who was imprisoned. Facing an enemy immune to magic attacks and having high resistance to physical attacks, Rein was going to fight with an idea...*

## Summary

A flashback reveals Sora detailing the condition of Sora's release given by the Shadow Knight, by lowering the barrier over the Fairy Village, by sundown. Privy to this information, Rein's groups heads to the Shadow Knight's location, but refuses to allow Sora to tag along as it'd break her deal with the monster.

Reaching the Shadow Knight's location, Rein's group finds it sitting on a throne with Runa, and immediately, Rein casts a **Fireball** against it as a feint. It allows Kanade and Rein to land a few blows against the Shadow Knight, who realizes that Sora sent Rein's group and then attacks Runa. However, Tania protects, releases her from her captivity, and flees the scene carrying her away. After forming a temporary contract with some Ahrbees to act as a distraction, Rein casts **Boost** on Kanade, who utilizes her bolstered power to defeat the Shadow Knight. After Rein's explanation of the Boost spell to Kanade, Tania returns to them, still carrying Runa in her arms. Tania also notes her perplexion about how Rein knew a powerful lost art, but he claims everyone in his village was privy to it. As Runa awakens Rein informs her that Sora had asked them to rescue her, making Runa feel relieved.

Afterward, Runa embraces Sora, and the two thank Rein's group for their actions. A brief scene concerning, Runa's crude thoughts about Rein and Sora's reprimanding of her sister occurs, leading Rein to believe they're polar opposites. Although Kanade had hoped Sora and Runa would return to their village, Sora notes that since Runa had been excommunicated from there, she wants to distance herself from there. Having no place to go or adequate knowledge of the outside world, Kanade invites the fairies to join them. Rein allows it and forms a contract with the two.

Later that day, Rein meets the Hero's Party so he could finish the quest to find and give to them the Shield of Truth, while his party secretly watches. However, Arios is flabberghasted how it took Rein's group two days to retrieve the shield and yet it took his own group two weeks. With Arios refusing to acknowledge the Shield of Truth was real, Rein suggests his group examine it's authenticty. Leanne casts **Appraisal** on it who shocks everyone in her party that it's the genuine shield and Arios notices the two new faces in Rein's party. Not wanting to create a scene that two Fairies are in a Human settlement, Rein demands his quest reward and is given his twenty gold coin reward. Before Rein could once again sever ties with the Hero's Part, Aggath stops him and asks if he'd be interested in rejoining the party. Despite Arios' agitation over the offer, Aggath realizes the team's inadequacy without Rein's support. Mina and Leanne both reluctantly agree with Aggath's suggestion and asks if Rein would accept his offer; however, Rein refuses, as he's content with his current life. Once Rein had left, Aggath, Mina, and Leanne opine their disdain for Rein refusing their offer, but Arios' who was still embittered by his defeat against Rein has him aggitated who he vows to eliminate.

Elsewhere, underneath a tree, Rein explains to his party about the legend of the first hero who defeated the Demon King. Apparently, only one with blood of the god's can be the hero and have unrestrained potential called **Limit Break** to be capable of defeating the Demon King. Arios was though as fairly weak compared to Rein, and Sora notes that he could be the real hero, going onto explain his accomplishments by taming everyone in his party. Kanade then suggests that Rein should tame more spirits, which would grant him enough power to defeat the Demon King and Tania concurs. On the other hand, Rein declines, noting the responsibilities and how he's only managed to achieve everything thus far thanks to their support. Although, Rein doesn't completely dismiss the idea, as it's far too early to decide on such an endeavor.
