After the incident in which Rudeus saved Sara's life, her interaction towards Rudeus has changed, and the two grew closer together. Sara asks Rudeus to help her in buying a new dagger, so Rudeus goes on a date. The two of them have fun shopping and talking at the bar, and the atmosphere becomes intimate. Even though he is reminded of Eris' departure, Rudeus makes up his mind after hearing Sara's feelings towards him...!

Plot

Counter Arrow is celebrating after completing a mission where Rudeus is frequently joining the party ever since saving Sara as his reputation as "Quagmire" grows. Sara, who has grown close to Rudeus asks to help her in buying a dagger much to the amusement of the rest of the party which Rudeus accepts. During the date, they bought 2 daggers then they head to a pub where Sara becomes tipsy and they head back to Rudeus' room at Sara's request.

At Rudeus' room, Rudeus and Sara are about to have sex but, Rudeus feels something is off despite having the desire for Sara and after sometime, Sara grew upset and left. Rudeus is later seen drinking alone and demanding more to drink where Soldat finds him and begins to berate him as always. Rudeus attacks Soldat with fist and breaks down while Soldat does not fight back. Soldat takes Rudeus to the escort district after hearing Rudeus' story of Eris leaving him where she meets Elise who is also grateful to Rudeus for healing her sister last winter.

Rudeus and Elise return to Soldat where the latter informs him that Rudeus has become impotent. As they leave the escort district, Soldat advises not to rush things and talk things out with Sara but Rudeus still drunk doesn't really care and begins to badmouth Sara, saying she isn't attractive. To his surprise, she happens to be nearby with Suzanne. Sara is in shock and anger on what she heard, slaps Rudeus and angrily throws the dagger they bought together, sternly tells him she never wants to see him again. Suzanne scolds him for what he did and she and Sara walk away. Rudeus quickly falls into despair and tries to kill himself with the dagger left behind, but Soldat stops him then urges him to go after Sara, but Rudeus refuses, saying that nothing matters to him anymore. Soldat then offers to Rudeus to join him on a mission to a labyrinth in the Neris Kingdom which Rudeus accepts.
