Summary
In a narration, Rein explains regarding Slimes and his team was tasked with subjugating the monsters, which unsettles Kanade, due to their stickiness, whenever they're defeated. Tania then boasts that she'll be able to defeat them all for her, which earns her Kanade's praise. Standing by watching the scene unfold, Rein notes how happy he was about how the two were getting along. Time passes by, and the group cannot locate a swarm of Slimes. Hence, Rein uses one of his taming abilities on a bird called Assimilate to merge his soul and control the bird to search for Slimes within the area. The feat astonishes both Tania and Kaede, and after their outburst, Rein flies off to search for Slimes as the two watch over his body.

Eventually, Rein locates the swarm of Slimes, and before they begin the job, Tania asks Rein if he can use any magical spells. Rein answers that he can use Fire Ball and Heal, which under Tania's suggestion, casts Fire Ball against the Slimes eliminating every last one of them. The outcome astounds Rein and Kaede, but not Tania, who explains that Rein's abilities have risen since making a contract with her. Just then, more Slimes appear at the scene and, following Tania's tuition, Rein learns how to control his magic better.

Afterward, Tania and Kaede talk to a little girl outside the Adventurer's Guild, informing her that they successfully completed a Slime Subjugation quest. Rein then joins the two girls, and after a stroll through the town throughout the day, that night, the group enjoys dinner at a restaurant. Once they're finished, Rein reveals the background of his home village and how it was lost one day due to a monster attack. A group of Adventurers would rescue Rein, and he was relocated to an inn where he worked his keep for years until Arios' group recruited him. He joined the group without hesitation, believing it'd be for the better and would allow him to prevent the same tragedy that happened to his village. However, the group thought of him as a useless tag along, leading to his dismissal from the Hero's Party. Hearing this story saddens both Tania and Kanade, but they note their fury against the Hero Party for how they treated Rein, but he assures them that it's all behind him.

The day after, Rein's group subjugates a bunch of Orcs, one of which manages to stab Rein in his arm with a knife while trying to protect Tania. Assuring that he's fine, Rein then uses Heal on himself that instantly heals the wound, and suggests they collect the magical ores the Orc left behind and turn them into the Adventurer's Guild. That afternoon, Rein does this and learns from Kanade that Tania had wanted some time alone to herself. Tania stood on a bridge gazing at the flowing river water below, pondering whether or not she's done the right thing, and then a little girl from the other day approached and talked to her. Tania would have a brief heart-to-heart with the little girl that lifted her spirits. Soon, Rein finds Tania, who formally apologizes to him for her actions earlier that day. On the other hand, Rein notes his relief for being able to find Tania, and that night, Kanade realizes her feelings for Rein, but would flatly deny them as a fondness for him.

The following day, after another successful quest was completed, Tania suggests to Rein that they purchase new equipment, and Rein liked the idea. Before they're able to progress any further, Arios and his party confront Rein's on the road and give him a sarcastic greeting.
