In Episode 2, Bell Cranel is unexpectedly confronted by Hedin Selland of the Freya Familia. Hedin informs Bell that he must accept Syr's invitation to a rendezvous. He emphasizes that refusal is not an option and threatens dire consequences for the Hestia Familia should Bell decline. Since Hedin prioritizes Syr's wishes, he subjects Bell to an intense training program to prepare him for the rendezvous, focusing on etiquette, eloquence, and proper behavior in Syr's company.


Meanwhile, Hestia receives a cryptic letter from Bell, in which he explains his predicament and asks her not to search for him. Confused and worried, Hestia and her Familia are left to ponder the situation. Bell's training under Hedin is grueling, pushing him to his physical and mental limits. He practices interacting with women to refine his social skills, including a challenging exercise with Cassandra that unsettles both of them.


As the Festival of the Goddesses begins, the now well-trained Bell meets Syr. His refined demeanor surprises her, as he displays entirely different manners and behaviors than usual. While she appreciates his efforts, Syr feels that his true personality is missing. During their time together, they encounter Ais Wallenstein, leading to a brief moment of tension due to Syr's subtle jealousy.


At the same time, Hestia, who is desperate to find Bell, learns of Ais's meeting with Syr. Frustrated and concerned, she decides to seek him out, suspecting that Syr may have ulterior motives. During their meeting, Syr expresses her feeling of being constantly watched by the Freya Familia. She longs for a moment of true freedom and asks Bell to "kidnap" her so they can spend time together unobserved.


The episode ends with Syr's unexpected request, leaving Bell in a difficult position as he contemplates the consequences of defying the Freya Familia and the potential impact on his relationships.
