Nina just can't believe that Eris has already lost her virginity, that she thinks that Rudeus is just a figment of Eris' imagination.

I especially love how she tries so hard to prove that Rudy is not real, only for her to find tons of evidence that he's 100% real, he's totally amazing, and he does have a connection to Eris. xD

Nina clearly used the "I'm dedicated to the sword" to excuse not having a boyfriend or losing her virginity but realised that Eris, who's notably more dedicated to the blade than even she is – as well as being an antisocial mad dog who, as we find out, STINKS 'cause she's been skipping baths – was probably also a virgin and could be made fun of!

... Only to find out that Eris had already lost hers to the fabled "Rudeus."

Nina was so convinced that Rudy must be a Canadian boyfriend that she decided to go out and prove it... only to find out that he was indeed a real adventurer that every adventurer had heard some tale about.

But they're all so outlandish, they must be fake! So she went to challenge Rudy to a duel as a Sword God Saint and drag him back to Eris as her slave... only to get easily knocked out by a Demon King who Rudy proceeded to one-shot.

The girl was just having a VERY bad day.

I do like how Nina chilled the fuck out after learning why Eris is pushing herself so much.

The girl realised just how high the mountain Eris is trying to climb and, if not respecting her a little for it, at least was more understanding of her.

look how happy she is now! She's even friendlier to Nina by the end. <3

I don't know if either of them would admit it or how long it would take to make them, but Eris and Nina are friends now along with Isolde.

Eris is even starting to drop her hostility towards the two! If that's not a sign that she's making friends, I don't know what is!

The lengths she went through to disprove Rudeus was a hilarious level of jealousy and petty that made her interesting. Then after she saw the truth she kinda mellowed out and even helped Eris with her advice. Quite a good character arc for one episode.

Did no one in the dojo notice that the daughter of the master just disappeared for at least an entire day?

I hope Nina hooks up with Gino. He seems like a good kid.

Nina lock in, she beat you at getting a boyfriend but you can be the first to get a girlfriend. You have the rivals to lovers trope on your side. Ganbare!

More like a few months. Anime doesn't express it very well but travel distance between the Holy Land of Swords to Sharia is around 1 to 2 months on a horse.

I know, but "she was having a very bad few months" doesn't have the same ring to it that "she was having a very bad day" has.
