3. Recap of Episode 1
The episode titled “Syr” opens with her questioning whether she has fallen for Bell. The narrative then shifts to Goddess Hestia, who celebrates Liliruca and Haruhime’s level-ups. Although Mikoto and Welf did not level up, they received significant boosts. Bell is also deemed worthy of leveling up; however, Hestia restrains him, believing it’s not the right time. The Hestia Familia and others rejoice at Mama Mia’s tavern following their return from a dungeon adventure.
Syr later questions Bell about Ryu, who has been avoiding him. When Bell tries to talk to Ryu, she accidentally knocks him out with a punch but quickly regrets it and waits for him to regain consciousness. Upon waking, Ryu apologizes for her awkwardness in front of him. Syr observes this interaction from above the tavern.
The next day, Syr asks Ryu about her feelings for Bell but ends up confessing her own feelings and her desire to ask him out for the Goddess Festival. She seeks Ryu’s consent first to preserve their friendship, and despite some hesitation, Ryu grants it, given her gratitude towards Syr.
Horn, a member of the Freya Familia, then arrives at Hestia Mansion with a letter from Syr for Bell, inviting him to the Goddess Festival. Hestia discovers the love letter, fearing the worst. Bell, however, is more curious about Horn’s role as a messenger from the Freya Familia.
Haruhime speculates Syr’s connection to the Freya Familia, while Welf doubts it due to Syr not bearing a mark. Mikoto compares Syr to Haruhime, another non-combatant, leading them to question why a Freya Familia assistant would deliver a letter.
Meanwhile, Ottar gathers members of the Freya Familia, including Hedin, Hogin, and the Gulliver brothers, to discuss Syr’s decision to date Bell and strategize their approach. Eventually, Allen agrees to act as Syr’s bodyguard.
As Bell heads to the tavern to talk to Syr about the letter, he is suddenly attacked by an elf. Despite showcasing impressive combat skills, Bell finds himself struggling against the elf’s prowess. The assailant introduces himself as Hedin Selland, stating his intention to take Bell with him.
After this confrontation, the focus returns to Syr, who meets Goddess Freya to seek permission for her date with Bell. She questions if she can escape the responsibilities of her divine status and follow her heart. Freya agrees but warns that should Bell discover Syr’s true identity, she will no longer be allowed to see him. Syr accepts this risky deal, fully aware of its dire potential consequences.
