In the fourth episode of "Nozomanu Fushi no Boukensha," Rentt is trapped in a boss room with its exit vanished and its magic rendered ineffective. Despite the dire situation, he is determined to fight to the end, true to his identity as an adventurer. He wonders how effective his sword will be against the undead, considering the room's unique conditions.

Amid the danger, Rentt encounters Lorris, who is injured and unaware of her condition, especially with a giant skeleton looming before her. Despite his own limitations, Rentt offers Lorris his aid and patches her up as best he can. After the skeleton monster is defeated, Rentt and Lorris engage in a conversation, during which Rentt reveals his monstrous appearance, a result of a prior encounter. Since Rentt cannot interact normally in society due to his appearance, he asks Lorris to handle tasks for him, such as running errands and visiting the guild. In return, Rentt offers Lorris a valuable magic stone from the defeated monster, with the additional condition of eating for free at Lorris' restaurant.

Upon returning to the Red Dragon Tavern, Lorris is greeted with concern by Isabelle, who fears for his safety and their financial stability as a couple. Lorris reassures her that their situation has improved and credits Rentt's help and the gift of the magic stone for their good fortune. He agrees to run errands for Rentt, provided the adventurer continues to favor and support him.

As Rentt leaves the tavern, he reflects on his aversion to people with families, revealing a deeper layer of his character. He also has an encounter with Lorraine, where he expresses his concerns about his evolving nature and the control it exerts over him. Lorraine offers insight into Rentt's condition, suggesting that his transformation into a ghast might be a step toward greater humanity—a wish Rentt has voiced.

Rentt's interactions with Clope highlight the challenges his condition poses. He seeks a new sword to replace the one damaged in the last encounter, reaffirming his commitment to his adventurous lifestyle. The episode concludes with scenes of Lorris and Isabelle working hard at the Red Dragon Tavern, underscoring the positive impact of Rentt's intervention in their lives.
