An abandoned warehouse. The night is cold with a full moon, allowing the gaze of a lonely girl, looking at it, hoping that everything will be okay for her only family left in the world, a family she hasn't seen in a long time. Sighing, hoping and praying for the little sister's safety.

"You are young and yet you sigh like there is no tomorrow" [Khamisah].

The adventures of the SS rank, Miss Saga as people like to call her, tease the young girl in her teenage years. 

They're currently tracking a suspicious movement from the Empire, as many spies and soldiers from there are entering Emas, and yet mysteriously no one has left. 

"If your suspicions are correct, then those people are probably..." [Khamisah]

"I don't care what happened to those soldiers and spies, as far as I know, they can rot in hell. Still, why is it that every time they disappear, I feel a faint curse from THE THING?" [Dana]

The young girl from the village of Aru is confused. Her memories are foggy, and what she wrote in her notebook and what she remembers don't add up. Something is wrong, that's what her instinct tells her, and the most powerful adventure in the world, the SS Rank Adventure, agrees with her.

"Speaking of which, I should probably meet the goddess' favorite child, Saintess Rumia. Would you like to meet her as well?" [Khamisah]

"For me..." [Dana]

"Now you're acting shy! You know, even if you don't agree, I'll just drag you along" [Khamisah]

"Knowing you, there's no way I can escape..." [Dana]

A diplomat from the Holy Land has arrived. They are greeted by the royalty of the land of Emas, led by the king himself, who greets them with a smile. For a group of travelers, they are all neatly dressed, like someone who doesn't come from a faraway land. They show no signs of fatigue or weariness. 

The red-haired saintess, after formally introducing herself, looked at the two princesses from Amleth and quickly approached them, making the two princesses nervous for a second.

"You are Princess Kara and Mara, aren't you? I see... So THE THING really has completely disappeared from your body" [Saintess Rumia].

"How did you know?" [Kara]

"The goddess herself told me... Where is she?" [Rumia]

"She?" [Mara]

"Your savior, Diana. According to the star and what the goddess tells me, her fateful meeting should be in the foreseeable future" [Rumia].

"Huh?" [Nar]

"Could it be..." [Sas]

"Seriously" [Randy]

(Is it about her older sister...) [Cardinal Davis]

There is no sign of lying coming from the Saintess. In fact, Saintess Rumia, a friendly Saintess who is the Goddess' favorite child, wouldn't lie. Everyone around her will be at peace. A crying child will suddenly smile. Still, the two nervous heroes couldn't help but feel even more obligated to find Dana.

"That looks absolutely delicious! How should I kill it?" [Diana]

"Diana... A monster baboon isn't something you would eat!" [Kat]

"But have you ever tried it yourself?" [Diana]

"Of course not!" [Kat]

"Then I'll try it!" [Diana]

"No! According to the Monster Encyclopedia, it carries diseases especially towards vulnerable groups like children! So you shouldn't eat it!" [Kat]

"But my baboon soup" [Diana]

"No means no! Anyway, you're under our protection, so just leave the fighting to us" [Kat].

"But it's boring to watch. I wanted to fight too!" [Diana]

So much for our peaceful night. First I noticed that a group of bandits were following us, but since they are weak and I could easily beat them all, I just told Kat and the other. Since they completely believe in my assessment, the group decided to continue the journey first and confront the bandit as soon as they set up the tent and everything, but the poor bandit doesn't get a chance to greet us, instead they are greeted by a group of monster baboons that sneak up on them. The bandit's face shows signs of a powerful bite. Ears gone, nose torn off, eyes gouged out. If anything, this merciless baboon is stronger than the bandit, but not strong enough to be a threat to me, at least. Of course, the others are afraid, so I just use a wind shield to protect us all.

While the adventurers are fighting, I am preparing our dinner. When Fie saw the fight, she mewed at me, and I told her that it's okay to join the fight. Fie excitedly released a small amount of thunder mana, jumped into the battle, and began to help the adventurer. Fie is particularly fond of the Cat Beastman, especially Kat, so she stays close to Kat while they fight.

"Wash the potato. Cut the meat. Wash the potato. Stir the soup. Wash the potato. Clean the vegetables! You're going into my stomach!" [Diana]

"You can still sing with a group of monsters so close... You are strong..." [Neloufa]

"I mean, they're not that strong. The Chimera and the Behemoth are definitely scarier" [Diana].

As the battle comes to an end, the adventurers begin to take whatever valuable items they can find as spoils of war. They asked me if they could use my item box magic to store the valuables they get, and I simply agreed. They are friends, and I am very fond of them, so I didn't refuse their request. 

"We should reach Emas by tomorrow afternoon. We should rest early for tonight" [Manager]
