Summary
One bright and sunny morning, Rein awakens on the floor of his room and hopes a free room becomes available soon as his party sleeps on the beds.

Enjoying breakfast outside, Rein and his party discuss purchasing equipment for him for the journeys ahead, and Rein agrees with it. While walking down the streets of the town, Runa and Sora are alert of the people figuring out that they're fairies. This changes after Rein assures them that they'll be fine and after witnessing the interactions between Kanade and Tania with some familiar faces. However, when a few children approach them, the girl from the group notes that Runa and Sora are Rein's new wives, which irks Sora. Also, Runa nearly reveals she's a fairy by casting magic, only to be stopped by Rein and Sora.

Afterward, the group heads to a weapon store and is greeted by its rough and gruff dwarven owner Gantz, who suggests they pick out a weapon of their choosing. Rein checks out a dagger and notes the odd feeling it projects. A male customer enters the store wanting the store's best sword, and Gantz picks one out for the customer who purchases it. Once the customer left, Rein confronted Gantz about how all his weapons were of poor quality, and the owner confirmed it. Runa and Sora then belittle Gantz as a petty swindler, but he stands up for himself and shows them his best weapons for sale. When asked why he sold his last customer a paltry weapon, Gantz claims it was a test of gumption with weaponry. Furthermore, Gantz explains that most customers waste swords and toss them away when a newer model is released, which would damage his blacksmith spirit. Tania then has a reciprocating moment with Gantz about their mutual ideals. Once that was settled, Gantz asked how Rein knew his weapons were "different". Rein then details his experience as a Beast Tamer, which relied on astute observation of animals, and would unconsciously observe his surroundings. Impressed by Rein's explanation, Gantz agrees to make a custom weapon for him; however, he lacks the materials to do it.

Eventually, the group head to the Adventurer's Guild, where a large group of adventurers surrounds the bulletin board. Natalie informs them that Arios was in Horizon, seeking to recruit new support members. The news doesn't hamper Rein's mood, and he introduces Runa and Sora to Natalie. Runa alludes to Natalie that her relationship with Rein is deeper than a natural one, shocks her, making Rein disconcerted and try to explain properly. Progressing things, Rein submits a formal quest from Gantz requesting Mythril ore. A flashback reveals that the ore may be located in a depleted mine Gantz inherited from his family. Getting assured and pepped by his team, Rein agrees to search Gantz's mine for the ore, and the two formally introduce themself to each other. When inquired about how much gold he'd like to receive for the quest, Rein requests a new weapon be made instead, which elates Gantz.

En route to their destination, Runa and Sora become exhausted by the long trek because of their lack of stamina. Hence, Rein locates a nearby lake, allowing his teammates to take a refreshing bath there. He also temp-contracts a couple of squirrels to watch the ladies and notify him if any trouble arises. However, as Rein takes a rest, he hears Kanade scream, rushes to their location, and learns a fish had bitten Kanade's tail. The situation causes Sora to become perturbed, and Rein acts remorseful for his actions. However, he's forgiven by Tania and Kanade, who brush it off; they know Rein would mever lustfully gaze at them. Though they jokingky suggest reversing the roles, so they can see him naked to even the score; which he turns down.

Upon reaching their destination, Rein suggests they stand to watch close by to the mine's entrance to see if his theory of thieves stealing from the mine is true. A hawk starts circling, making Rein gasp, and a couple of thieves exit the mine demanding that whoever is out there show themself. Left with no choice, but to fight, Rein suggests they beat them and question them after; however, Tania and Kaede do the opposite. Hence, Sora and Runa use their magic to peer into the thieves' minds to figure out their motives. They learn that Rein's theory was true and that the thieves are associated with five other adventurers within the mine. To make matters worse, Rein suspected that one of the adventurers was a beast tamer from the hawk he spotted was acting as a lookout.

Trivia

 * Kanade and Tania are welcomed and quite beloved in the town, just like Rein; seeing as people they rarely interact with greet and thanks them for various things.
 * When Runa suggests Rein get a whip, Sora's mental picture of him is shirtless; unlike the manga, where he still had it on.
 * Kanade is revealed to have a bosom almost as big as Tania's; despite her petite frame. Sora and Runa are obviously jealous, due to the fact they havent developed into women yet; though this is due to fairies having long lives, so puberty is a long way off for them.
