In the aftermath of their expedition, Lili and Haruhime level up to Level 2; Hestia secretly tells Welf and Mikoto that Bell is on the verge of another level up. During a celebratory party at the Hostess of Fertility, Syr notices Ryuu being particularly flustered around Bell, and after overhearing a private conversation between them, realizes she's fallen for him. She then tells Ryuu she will be inviting Bell on a date to the upcoming Goddess Festival, which Ryuu reluctantly supports. Hestia Familia is visited by Horn, Freya's personal attendant, delivering Syr's letter, surprising everyone that Syr is supposedly part of Freya Familia. The captains of the Freya Familia led by Ottar discuss their disapproval over Bell and their plan to look after Syr during the Festival. On the way to give Syr an answer, Bell is suddenly attacked by one of Freya Familia's captains, Hedin Selland, and after being brutally beaten, is told to come with him. Elsewhere, Syr goes to speak to Freya, asking to take Bell on a date, with the Goddess approving, but stipulating if Bell finds out who she is, she can never interact with him again.

Hedin takes Bell to a cafe, threatening him and his Familia into accepting the date with Syr; Bell sends a letter to Hestia Familia informing them he's doing it to protect them. Bell is promptly put through an endless gauntlet as Hedin trains him to be the perfect gentleman on a date, while also making him improve his social skills with other women. During the Goddess Festival, Bell and Syr proceed with their date. The Hostess maids make Hestia Familia work at the pub, allowing them to sneak out and observe the date, which is also being watched over by Hedin and several Freya Familia members. Syr becomes irritated at Bell's change in attitude, being unable to fluster him like she usually does, though his facade is broken when Ais spots them; Syr tells a concerned Ais they're on a date and they leave. Hestia, having been kicked out of the pub for causing trouble, finds Ais and proposes an alliance to spy on the date. Bell comes clean to Syr about Hedin helping him present himself better for the date, as Syr asks him if they can continue the date by escaping the watchful eyes of Freya Familia.

Bell and Syr manage to escape the Freya Familia watchdogs using an invisibility cloak. Bell takes Syr to the St. Fulland Cathedral, and tells her about the legend of Fulland, a knight who teamed up with a Spirit as they fell in love, however was forced to choose between her and a saint who had supported him all the years, ultimately chosing the saint. After initially attempting to kill Fulland in despair, the Spirit would later sacrifice herself to save him from a monster attack, and he would grievously build the Cathedral in her honor. Syr asks Bell right after what he would do if she ever got so distraught she tried to hurt others. Bell then buys a two-piece charm based on the Fulland tale for Syr, with her using her half as a hairpin. Bell and Syr have dinner at a restaurant on a boat, where Ais, Hestia, and the Hostess maids are there observing them. Bell questions Syr about her secrets when the boat is suddenly attacked by Freya Familia; Ais and the Hostess maids fight them off allowing the two to escape off the boat. They spend the night walking through the city, making it to the "Heroes Bridge", where Syr tells Bell how the world is longing for a hero, and reveals that she desires an "Odr", her one-and-only hero. She then takes him to a single-bedroom inn to spend the night together, much to Bell's worry.
