00:00:00Tama used to be a valiant knight who met his end at the hands of the demons.

00:00:03However, after his death, he was reborn into the body of an S-rank behemoth.

00:00:07A creature so powerful, it could obliterate entire nations in an instant.

00:00:11Or at least that's what his status screen claims.

00:00:13In reality, he merely appears as a cat.

00:00:15While Tama is grateful for this second chance at life,

00:00:18he feels a bit torn about his new form as a monster.

00:00:21Especially considering his previous life was entirely dedicated to slaying monsters.

00:00:25At that moment, he spots an E-rank slime slowly approaching him.

00:00:28And it's clear that the creature intends to eat him.

00:00:31Reacting quickly, he revisits the status screen to select a skill for self-defense.

00:00:35He unlocks an ability that allows him to fire rocks from his mouth and uses it to defeat the slime.

00:00:40Once the threat is eliminated, he realizes he hasn't eaten anything since his reincarnation.

00:00:44So he decides to give the slime a try.

00:00:47To his surprise, it tastes surprisingly good.

00:00:49And as an extra benefit, he discovers he can absorb the skills of monsters he consumes.

00:00:54This leads to him unlocking the ability to store items.

00:00:56After that, Tama decides to go through the rest of the dungeon to see what else he can eat.

00:01:01Since he's an S-rank, none of the other monsters really stand a chance against him.

00:01:04Tama proceeds to slay all kinds of minotaurs, golems, and snakes to feed on them.

00:01:09And so far, his life as a cat hasn't been so bad.

00:01:12He could get used to living like this.

00:01:13At the same time, a very well-endowed elf girl has just arrived at the dungeon entrance to begin her

00:01:18day of adventuring.

00:01:19Back with Tama, he's still busy exploring his new home when he comes across a treasure chest in the middle

00:01:24of the room.

00:01:24He's really excited since this is the first time he has ever seen a treasure chest in person.

00:01:29So he rushes to open it and finds a massive gem inside.

00:01:32Unfortunately, the treasure chest turned out to be a trap.

00:01:35But instead of being a mimic, it teleports him into a hidden boss room.

00:01:38Tama finds himself riding on the back of an earth dragon.

00:01:41And unlike the other monsters he's faced so far, this one is also S-rank like him.

00:01:45Meaning he won't be able to take it down in a single blow like the others.

00:01:48The earth dragon taunts Tama for daring to enter her lair, declaring that she's going to kill him.

00:01:53However, Tama has only been alive for an hour, and he's not about to let himself be taken out so

00:01:57easily.

00:01:58He tries using his rock attack, but because the earth dragon is, well, made of earth,

00:02:02the attack harmlessly bounces off her back and strikes the roof, leaving a small hole.

00:02:07The dragon retaliates with a slash, but Tama counters it by activating his iron body skill to shield himself.

00:02:12Although Tama manages to withstand the slash, the attack leaves him seriously injured.

00:02:16The dragon, impressed that he's still alive after enduring one of her strikes,

00:02:20acknowledges his resilience but notes that he remains too weak to defeat her.

00:02:24She charges forward, intending to finish him off.

00:02:26At the last moment, however, Tama activates a flight skill and uses his tail to slash out the dragon's eye

00:02:32before escaping through the hole in the ceiling.

00:02:34Tama is losing a lot of blood from his injuries,

00:02:36so he's trying to get out of the dungeon to find a safe place to rest before he ends up

00:02:40passing out.

00:02:41He's right next to the exit, but he eventually succumbs to the blood loss and collapses to the ground.

00:02:45Just then, he notices something approaching from around the corner, and since he can't move anymore,

00:02:50whatever that thing is will definitely be able to kill him once he is spotted.

00:02:54Luckily for him, it was the elf girl who came around the corner.

00:02:57As soon as she saw the near lifeless body of a cat, she rushed over to help him.

00:03:01Tama wakes up a few hours later to find himself lying in bed with his wounds carefully bandaged.

00:03:06Feeling disoriented, he wonders where he might be, but his confusion is interrupted

00:03:09when an elf girl enters the room holding a bowl of milk for him.

00:03:13He recalls catching a glimpse of her just before passing out and can't help but marvel at her beauty.

00:03:18The elf girl is visibly relieved to see Tama awake, noting that his injuries were quite severe.

00:03:22She admits she has no idea how a little kitten like him could have ended up in the middle of

00:03:26a dungeon.

00:03:27Tama quickly realizes that she believes he's just an ordinary cat,

00:03:30rather than the powerful behemoth he truly is.

00:03:33Since he can't speak, there's no way to explain the truth.

00:03:36But even if he could, why would he ruin the arrangement when it means getting to sleep on her chest

00:03:40every night?

00:03:40Over the next few weeks, the elf girl continues to take care of Tama until he has fully recovered from

00:03:45his wounds.

00:03:46One day, Aria heads out as usual.

00:03:48And while she's gone, Tama thinks about how grateful he is for what she has done for him.

00:03:52She not only nursed him back to health, but she also gave him food to eat and let him sleep

00:03:56in her bed.

00:03:57In order to pay her back for her kindness, Tama swears that no matter what happens,

00:04:01he's going to make sure he protects that girl with his life.

00:04:04To ensure her safety, Tama decides to follow Aria into the dungeon so he can keep an eye on her.

00:04:08He sneaks onto the boat before it leaves.

00:04:11Once they get to the dungeon, he begins quietly following Aria while staying hidden.

00:04:15He's a bit worried that she might get herself into some kind of weird situation,

00:04:18like losing her clothes to a slime or something.

00:04:21So he prepares himself to jump in at the first sign of trouble.

00:04:24As Aria encounters a group of goblins, she swiftly activates her acceleration skill, cutting them down with ease.

00:04:29Once the fight is over, she kneels to collect their ears, intending to claim the reward later.

00:04:34Watching her in action, Tama is thoroughly impressed.

00:04:37With his past experience as a knight, he knows a great deal about swordsmanship,

00:04:40and can easily recognize just how incredible Aria's speed and technique are.

00:04:44As Aria finishes stowing the goblin ears, she spots another goblin peering at her from behind a corner.

00:04:50Instinctively, she assumes her battle stance.

00:04:52She's already killed enough goblins to meet her quota for the day,

00:04:55but if this one insists on attacking, she's ready to take it down too.

00:04:58What she doesn't realize, however, is that this goblin isn't ordinary, it's a goblin mage.

00:05:02Without warning, it hurls a massive fireball in her direction.

00:05:05Caught off guard and unprepared to handle such an attack, Aria finds herself in serious trouble.

00:05:10Tama doesn't want to let her get hurt, but he can't use any of his overpowered skills without

00:05:14revealing that he's a monster.

00:05:16Instead, he pushes Aria out of the way and slashes the goblin mage with his regular kitty paws,

00:05:21causing it to stumble backward and fall down the dungeon stairs to its doom.

00:05:24Aria doesn't understand why or how Tama managed to get here, but she's grateful that he saved her.

00:05:29On the ride back to town, she lets him lay on her triple Ds while she tickles his belly,

00:05:33and Tama is absolutely loving it. After returning to town, Aria heads straight to

00:05:37the adventurer's guild to submit the goblin ears she collected. As she approaches the reception desk,

00:05:42she is intercepted by Lord Kazmin. Though she has encountered him before,

00:05:46she had been trying to steer clear of him because of his persistent attempts to recruit her into his

00:05:50party. Aria tries to politely decline his offer, fully aware of Kazmin's sleazy nature,

00:05:55but he refuses to accept her rejection. As if to push his luck, he reaches out to grab both of

00:05:59her

00:06:00cheeks. Before his hands can make contact, Tama springs into action, biting down hard on Kazmin's

00:06:05hand and refusing to let go. Kazmin yells in pain, flailing wildly in an attempt to shake Tama loose.

00:06:10When he finally manages to dislodge the furious kitten, Tama lands directly on Kazmin's face and

00:06:15unleashes a flurry of scratches before leaping back onto Aria's chest, leaving Kazmin thoroughly

00:06:20humiliated. Kazmin is enraged and is about to draw his sword to attack Tama, but before he could take a

00:06:25swing, his sword is grabbed by the guild master, Arnold. Arnold reminds Kazmin that the guild has

00:06:30rules against brandishing weapons, especially when it's for a reason as pathetic as beefing with a

00:06:35cat. So there are going to be major consequences for him if he continues. Kazmin doesn't want to

00:06:39mess with Arnold, so he immediately runs out the door. Aria begins thanking Arnold for helping her

00:06:44out. He tells her it's no big deal and compliments Tama for sticking up for Aria when he bit Kazmin's

00:06:49hand.

00:06:49Aria then heads to the reception desk, and Arnold documents all monster parts to officially

00:06:54complete Aria's quest. Afterwards, Aria takes a seat at one of the tables, so she can spend some

00:06:59quality time with Tama. Up to this point, everything has been fairly wholesome, but Aria is starting to

00:07:04exhibit some odd behavior. While she's tickling Tama's stomach, her finger begins to stray dangerously

00:07:09close to his balls, and she seems a bit too thrilled about the idea of tickling her cat's private Aria.

00:07:14Shortly after, Aria prepares to take a bath and decides to bring Tama along with her. However, Tama,

00:07:20being a former knight with his honor to uphold, refuses to engage in something as improper

00:07:24as joining her in the women's bath. Despite his protests, Tama ultimately finds himself in the

00:07:29bath with Aria. While they're there, Aria starts talking about her aspiration to become stronger.

00:07:33She shares how, years ago, demons nearly wiped out her village, but the sword saint Alicia arrived

00:07:38just in time, defeating the demons and saving everyone. Since then, Aria has been determined

00:07:43to grow strong like Alicia. The next day, Aria is heading to the guild with Tama again,

00:07:48and Tama can tell that she's well-liked by everyone in town since they are all so nice to her.

00:07:52She makes it to the guild and greets Arnold at the reception desk, but Arnold tells her that today

00:07:57isn't a good day to be here, so she should get out of here quickly. Unfortunately, before Aria could

00:08:01follow Arnold's advice, Kazmin shows up and proudly announces that after he got injured by her cat,

00:08:06he went and tattled to the Baron. As a result, he was given a special order saying that Aria's pet

00:08:11cat

00:08:11is to be put down. Aria is in utter disbelief at what she's hearing. Although she hasn't had Tama for

00:08:16very long, he's incredibly precious to her, and the thought of him being killed is unbearable.

00:08:21She drops to her knees, pleading with Kazmin to show mercy. Sensing her desperation,

00:08:25Kazmin decides to exploit the situation to his advantage. He suggests they have a duel.

00:08:30If Aria wins, Tama's life will be spared. But if Kazmin wins, she must agree to become his wife.

00:08:35The deal is blatantly unfair, especially since Kazmin holds a higher rank than Aria.

00:08:39But with Tama's life on the line, Aria has no choice but to accept the terms. The duel begins,

00:08:44and Kazmin kicks her in the side. After she stumbles, he compliments Aria on her speed,

00:08:49but says that it won't be enough for her to beat him. Aria tries to switch tactics and throws

00:08:53several daggers at him. But Kazmin has a knife-proof cape, so he is easily able to block.

00:08:58He then charges at Aria and begins putting pressure on her by repeatedly striking with

00:09:02his sword until he eventually disarms her. Now, all hope is pretty much lost for Aria since

00:09:07she can no longer defend herself. Tama is feeling deeply torn at this moment. If he doesn't do anything,

00:09:12Aria will be forced into marrying Kazmin. However, if he uses any of his abilities,

00:09:16the onlookers will realize he's actually a monster. As Kazmin moves in to deliver the final strike and

00:09:21make Aria surrender, Tama decides he can't stand by any longer. He leaps in to protect Aria,

00:09:26activating his Iron Body skill to shatter Kazmin's blade. Immediately after, Tama unleashes a powerful

00:09:31Howl skill, sending Kazmin hurtling into a cluster of nearby trees. By sheer coincidence, Kazmin's sword

00:09:37is flung in the same direction aimed directly at his balls, ensuring he's about to have an extremely

00:09:42unpleasant experience. After what just happened, everyone in the crowd begins murmuring amongst

00:09:47themselves because they know they just saw the cat use skills. Tama knew this would happen,

00:09:51and now that everyone has seen him use skills, it won't be long before they figure out that he's a

00:09:55monster. He knows he'll definitely be killed, but even so, he's satisfied with this outcome because

00:10:00he at least managed to defend Aria. Aria and Arnold approach Tama, and after witnessing him use his

00:10:05skills, they begin discussing what he might actually be. Rather than concluding that Tama is a monster,

00:10:10they are convinced that he must be an elemental cat. Arnold announces Aria as the winner,

00:10:14and everything returns to normal, allowing Tama to carry on his life as an overpowered cat with

00:10:19the coziest bed imaginable. The next morning, Aria tries to coax Tama out of bed by cuddling him,

00:10:25but the mischievous kitten playfully nibbles on her ear, leaving her completely flustered and

00:10:29blushing uncontrollably, remembering his past life as an honorable knight. Tama quickly decides to stop

00:10:34before the situation becomes even more awkward. He leaps off the bed to walk away, but Aria keeps calling

00:10:39after him, her tone full of longing, which only makes things even more uncomfortable for Tama.

00:10:44Later, Aria brings Tama to the blacksmith's shop to visit her friend Vulcan. As soon as they arrive,

00:10:49Vulcan's attention is immediately captured by Tama, her eyes fixed on the adorable kitten.

00:10:54While Aria shares stories about Tama, Vulcan eagerly asks if she can hold him. Tama seems delighted as

00:10:59Vulcan picks him up, marveling at his cuteness. However, Aria quickly redirects the conversation to the

00:11:04purpose of their visit, she needs Vulcan to craft armor for Tama. Vulcan is thrilled by the idea.

00:11:09Excited to take on such a unique and charming project, she immediately starts taking Tama's

00:11:14measurements, assuring Aria that she'll create the perfect armor for him. As Vulcan gets busy with

00:11:18her work, Aria leans down to whisper to Tama, asking if he's ready for an adventure. Without hesitation,

00:11:24Tama eagerly agrees. While Aria and Tama make their plans, Vulcan is laser-focused on crafting the armor,

00:11:29treating the task like it's her life's mission. In just under 10 minutes, Vulcan proudly presents

00:11:34the completed armor, and it turns out to be a masterpiece. Tama looks dashing in it,

00:11:38and the fit is perfect. However, Vulcan admits she's still struggling with another issue Aria's

00:11:43sword. Despite reforging it over 100 times, she hasn't been able to make it any lighter,

00:11:47which makes it difficult for Aria to wield effectively during her quests. After some thought,

00:11:52Vulcan suggests forming a temporary party. This way, she can observe Aria in action,

00:11:56watching how she swings the sword to better understand the problem and find a solution.

00:12:01That day, the team dives into the dungeon, where Vulcan quickly demonstrates her strength,

00:12:05smashing through the hideous goblins they encounter. Aria watches in awe,

00:12:09completely captivated by Vulcan's boldness and incredible power. While Tama admires her as both

00:12:14fearless and highly skilled, Vulcan's expertise is further demonstrated when she deflects a fireball

00:12:19attack from one of the monsters using a special ability linked to her smithing talents. She explains

00:12:23that her power allows her to imbue her armor with various elemental attributes, making her highly

00:12:28adaptable in battle. With the path now clear, Vulcan steps aside and urges Aria to take the lead with

00:12:34her sword. Their next challenge is an unsightly, oversized orc. The creature's grotesque appearance

00:12:38is both repulsive and intimidating, but Aria charges in regardless. Activating her acceleration skill,

00:12:44she attempts to land a strike, but the orc proves to be surprisingly agile, expertly blocking her

00:12:49attacks. Tama then steps in, soaring through the air and activating his iron body technique to shield

00:12:54Aria from an incoming blow. Distracting the orc just long enough, seizing the moment, Aria strikes

00:12:59and eliminates the beast in a single decisive attack. Vulcan observes Aria's movements closely

00:13:04and notices her long sword hinders her flow in battle, making her strikes less effective.

00:13:09Unhappy with her performance, Aria turns to Vulcan and requests an even tougher challenge.

00:13:14Eager to push her boundaries and become stronger. Impressed by her determination,

00:13:17Vulcan encourages her to proceed to the next floor, promising even more formidable trials ahead.

00:13:22As they descend further, the group finds themselves facing a swarm of slimy,

00:13:26lecherous ropers rather than the usual massive beasts. Tama immediately grows nervous,

00:13:31worried that these slimy creatures will ensnare his mistress with their writhing tendrils.

00:13:35He quickly warns Aria to stay alert and avoid their sticky grips at all costs. Aria charges in with

00:13:40acceleration, but the roper's speed makes them tough opponents. Her strikes fail to connect with their

00:13:45bodies and one of the ropers shatters her heavy sword, leaving her defenseless. Just as she's

00:13:49about to be snared, Vulcan hurls a knife toward her. Aria catches it midair and swiftly drives it

00:13:54into the roper's core, killing it in one precise motion. With newfound resolve, Aria shifts her focus

00:14:00and moves to take down the next slime. As Vulcan watches her fighting style closely, she quickly

00:14:04realizes that Aria's true strength lies in using shorter, lighter weapons rather than her heavy

00:14:09longsword. In a matter of moments, Aria slices through the monster's limbs with incredible speed

00:14:14and precision, leaving Vulcan utterly speechless. Though she always knew Aria was talented, Vulcan

00:14:19hadn't anticipated this level of swiftness and effectiveness in dispatching the second monster.

00:14:24Just as they begin to think the fight is over, the slime splashes its goo all over Aria,

00:14:28completely drenching her from head to toe while regrowing its limbs. Cringing in disgust and fury,

00:14:33Aria growls that only Tama is allowed to do something like that to her. Fueled by her outrage,

00:14:38she obliterates the creature in a single devastating move. This time, she cuts it into so many pieces

00:14:43that there's no chance of it regenerating. Vulcan and Tama rush to congratulate her on her incredible

00:14:48display of skill. While Vulcan moves closer to offer praise, Tama, being the cheeky little kitten

00:14:52he is, stops halfway to steal a bit of juice from the dead monster to absorb its skill for his

00:14:57own use.

00:14:58Still fuming, Aria unleashes her frustration on the remnants of the roper that dared to drench her

00:15:03in its disgusting goo. She furiously stabs its already destroyed body over and over,

00:15:07muttering vengeful thoughts under her breath. While Tama watches in silent bewilderment,

00:15:11wondering if she might be taking things a bit too far. After her rampage, Aria opens up to Vulcan

00:15:16and shares the story behind her choice to wield longswords. She recounts meeting the sword saint

00:15:21during her childhood, a figure who became her idol and inspired her to take up the weapon.

00:15:25Even though the longsword doesn't naturally suit her fighting style, Aria devoted years to

00:15:30mastering it in an effort to follow in her hero's footsteps. However, with her recent realization

00:15:34that daggers complement her skills far better, she has decided to embrace this newfound strength.

00:15:39Tama listens attentively and offers his support, reassuring her that this change will only make

00:15:44her stronger. Recognizing Aria's growth, Vulcan suggests venturing to a deeper floor of the

00:15:48dungeon, trusting in Aria's ability to handle the challenges with her daggers. Before pressing on,

00:15:53they decide to rest near a philosopher's stone, a rare artifact that keeps monsters at bay within

00:15:58its vicinity. As they take a break, Aria finds herself staring at the stone, which unexpectedly

00:16:03triggers a flood of painful memories from her childhood when her home was attacked by demons.

00:16:08Lost in thought, Aria barely notices Vulcan's concerned look. When Vulcan gently asks if something

00:16:12is wrong, Aria brushes it off, quickly changing the subject and steering the conversation elsewhere.

00:16:18While the group takes a break, Tama splashes around in a pool of water, carefree and enjoying

00:16:22himself. Seeing him having so much fun, Aria decides to join in, removing her plot armor and giving Tama

00:16:28a clear view of what's beneath. Vulcan soon joins, and the three take a refreshing dip together.

00:16:33However, as Tama swims, he tries hard to focus on anything but their exposed skin. During their

00:16:38break, Aria casually asks Vulcan about her usual dungeon party, unknowingly bringing up a sensitive

00:16:43topic. Vulcan explains that her party disbanded after two members fell in love, and the female

00:16:48adventurer became pregnant. The couple decided to leave their adventuring life behind and settle down.

00:16:53The conversation then takes an unexpected turn when Vulcan mentions that elemental cats like Tama

00:16:58are capable of crossbreeding, speculating about what might happen if Tama grows larger and enters a

00:17:03serious heat season. As their break ends, the group heads to the next dungeon floor, where they

00:17:07encounter a fierce minotaur. Unlike the goblins and ropers from earlier, this creature is a formidable

00:17:12opponent. Aria approaches carefully, accelerating toward the beast and executing her whirlwind slash

00:17:17technique. However, her attack barely scratches the minotaur's thick hide, leaving her shaken.

00:17:22Vulcan steps in, offering encouragement and helping Aria regain her composure.

00:17:26Motivated by Vulcan's encouragement, Aria regains her focus and unleashes a series of faster,

00:17:31more aggressive attacks. Overwhelmed by her speed, the minotaur begins swinging its massive weapon

00:17:36recklessly. One of its wild swings hits the ceiling, causing chunks of debris to fall dangerously close

00:17:41to Vulcan. Acting swiftly, Tama uses his howling skill to deflect the falling rubble, saving Vulcan just

00:17:47in time. Inspired by Tama's quick thinking and courage, Aria spots an opening and delivers a devastating

00:17:52strike straight to the minotaur's chest, taking the beast down once and for all. As Tama cheers for Aria's

00:17:58hard-earned victory, Vulcan stands in awe, marveling at the little cat's strength and courage. Her

00:18:03thoughts wander as she can't help but think that Tama is a really powerful alpha male. Back at the

00:18:08adventurer's guild, Aria, Vulcan and Tama turn in the loot they gathered during their dungeon raid.

00:18:13They then approach Arnold, who inspects the deep cut marks on the minotaur remains and asks who was

00:18:18responsible for dealing such impressive damage. With a proud smile, Vulcan explains that the marks

00:18:22were the result of Aria's newly refined skills. Arnold, remembering how much weaker Aria had been

00:18:27when she first arrived in town, praises her for her remarkable growth and dedication. Blushing at the

00:18:32compliment, Aria thanks Arnold, feeling a deep sense of pride and accomplishment. With their earnings in

00:18:37hand, the trio heads to a local restaurant to celebrate their successful adventure. At the restaurant,

00:18:42Vulcan wastes no time indulging in heavy refills, impressing Tama, who can't help but wonder if

00:18:47she's a seasoned drinker. Aria takes the opportunity to express her gratitude to Vulcan for her support

00:18:52during the raid. Admitting how much fun she had working together, Vulcan shares the same sentiments,

00:18:57showing off a rare medicinal herb she collected in the dungeon as a memento. Their lively conversation

00:19:02stirs a sense of nostalgia in Tama, reminding him of his past life as an adventurer, when he had

00:19:07comrades to share such moments with. Even so, Tama admits to himself that his current life isn't bad

00:19:12at all being the spoiled pet of a stunning elf is a dream few would decline. As their bond deepens,

00:19:17Vulcan proposes that they form an official party. Caught off guard, Aria is flattered but too shy

00:19:22to respond. Noticing her hesitation, Tama playfully nibbles her hand and places it on top of Vulcan's,

00:19:28sealing the agreement on her behalf. The group bursts into cheers, celebrating the beginning of

00:19:32their new partnership. Fueled by their growing partnership, they decide to order more drinks

00:19:36and turn the evening into an unforgettable celebration. Later that night, Tama finds himself

00:19:41squished between Aria and Vulcan's metaphorical plot armor. The snug and awkward situation makes it

00:19:46nearly impossible for him to sleep, especially when he hears Aria muttering in her sleep about

00:19:50hoping Tama doesn't get too rough. Feeling both suspicious and mildly flustered, he somehow manages

00:19:55to keep his composure. In need of a distraction, Tama checks his stats and is startled to discover

00:20:00he's eligible for evolution. However, evolving might turn him into a massive behemoth, potentially

00:20:05putting an end to the life he currently shares with Aria and Vulcan. Prioritizing loyalty and

00:20:10companionship over raw power, Tama resolves to stay as their beloved and dependable pet. The next morning,

00:20:15while strolling through town, Aria and Tama come across two thugs harassing a young girl,

00:20:20accusing her of being a pickpocket. Aria wastes no time stepping in, and as soon as the thugs catch

00:20:25sight of her elemental cat, they flee to avoid any trouble. Aria consoles the girl, discovering that

00:20:30she's an orphan, and takes her to a local church where nuns care for other children. Listening to Aria's

00:20:35heartfelt discussion with the nuns, Tama feels a deep sense of admiration for his master's kindness,

00:20:40and silently vows to support her even more than ever. That evening, Arnold summons Aria to the

00:20:45Adventurer's Guild to congratulate her on her promotion to C rank. As a token of recognition

00:20:50for her hard work, he presents her with a gleaming new rank pendant. However, their celebration is cut

00:20:55short by a commotion near the quest board. Arnold explains that people have been disappearing in

00:20:59Lennard, a nearby town, and rumors suggest that demons may be involved. Upon hearing this, Aria's

00:21:05determination sharpens. Fueled by her deep-seated grudge against demons, she eagerly asks for more

00:21:10details and declares her intention to take on the emergency quest without a moment's hesitation.

00:21:15After hearing the details of the case, Aria pressed Arnold relentlessly for every piece of information

00:21:19she had. Vulcan felt uneasy watching the elf's eagerness to take charge, doubting whether she

00:21:24was truly up to the task. However, Aria's resolve remained firm. She was determined to act swiftly to

00:21:29prevent more people from becoming victims. Impressed by her determination, Vulcan offered his assistance,

00:21:34and Arnold remarked that it wouldn't be surprising if a mercenary company soon decided to recruit the two of

00:21:39them. Just then, a young man wearing a tunic entered the guild. Introducing himself as Cedric,

00:21:44he was immediately recognized by the adventurers as the duke's eldest son, renowned for his

00:21:49expertise in managing labyrinths. Cedric greeted Vulcan warmly and assured both her and Aria that they

00:21:54would soon stand together in battle. Tama then recalled Cedric from the legendary war known as

00:21:58Ragnarok, where humanity waged a desperate fight against demons. Although the losses were catastrophic,

00:22:04victory was ultimately secured thanks to a prodigious boy, the Grand Mage who led them to triumph

00:22:08and became a legendary hero. Amid the excitement, Aria expressed concern that their group was too

00:22:13small to face such overwhelming threats. Arnold, clearly charmed by Cedric, reassured her,

00:22:18insisting that Cedric's abilities were enough to astonish anyone. As Aria affectionately clung to him,

00:22:23Arnold reminded her that such gestures should be kept private. Curious, Aria asked if they were a

00:22:28couple, and Vulcan confirmed it, leaving Tama completely baffled. Remaining silent until they

00:22:32returned home, Tama couldn't help but notice his master's unease. It was understandable,

00:22:36given the dangers of traveling with someone as legendary as the hero. The cat Tama licked the

00:22:41elf's face, seemingly trying to comfort her, and she responded with a kiss. Surprised by the

00:22:45affectionate exchange, Tama quickly refocused as the group prepared to set out on their journey.

00:22:50Along the way, they met new allies, the silver-haired swordsman Danny, the humanoid monster

00:22:54Howard, the fiery red-headed Kenny, and the cheerful Marietta. Aria introduced Tama, who immediately

00:23:00charmed everyone with his undeniable cuteness. Marietta even insisted on taking turns carrying him.

00:23:05Their peaceful journey was suddenly interrupted when a group of orcs blocked the road. Cedric

00:23:09calmly instructed Danny to deal with a threat, and the swordsmen dispatched the orcs effortlessly,

00:23:14without breaking a sweat. Vulcan, intrigued by Danny's abilities, inquired about his fighting style,

00:23:19and Kenny confirmed that Danny hadn't even used any skills. Aria began to understand just how

00:23:23powerful the heroes of Ragnarok were. While Tama was in awe of Danny's raw strength, eager to one day

00:23:28fight alongside him. As night fell, they arrived at Lennard Village, where the grateful villagers warmly

00:23:34welcomed Cedric and his team. One villager shared troubling news. Many locals had mysteriously

00:23:38disappeared, including a search party lost in the ruins, and another girl who had been abducted

00:23:43the previous night. The revelation stirred painful memories for Aria, reminding her of the invasion

00:23:48that had devastated her homeland. The village leader then explained that Cedric's nights were the

00:23:52villagers' last hope. Noticing the group's exhaustion from their travels, the villagers quickly

00:23:56prepared a hearty meal to help them recover. Later, as they settled into their lodging,

00:24:00Aria's curiosity got the better of her, and she asked why each of her companions had chosen to

00:24:05become knights. Danny revealed that his family's poverty had forced him to join in order to repay

00:24:09their debts, while Howard shared a similar story of hardship. Kenny explained that she needed money

00:24:14to buy medicine for her ailing sister, and Marietta said she sought freedom for her father,

00:24:19who had been enslaved. Listening to these heartfelt stories, Tama couldn't help but sense the sorrow

00:24:23hidden behind their motivations. Even Aria began to regret asking the question, feeling the weight of

00:24:28their struggles. The knight, however, felt no shame in their choices. They had faced their struggles,

00:24:33paid their dues, and were now forging their own paths. Cedric's reason for joining, though,

00:24:37was entirely different. He admitted he had no interest in love or family obligations. As the

00:24:42Duke's son, he joined the order not out of duty, but because he lacked a greater purpose and found

00:24:46enjoyment in slaying monsters. While his blunt honesty didn't sit well with everyone, no one voiced any

00:24:51objections. After dinner, it was time for everyone to bathe, while the girls enjoyed a relaxing soak.

00:24:56The boys, driven by youthful mischief, attempted to sneak a peek. Tama, ever watchful,

00:25:01caught them in the act. With a booming shout, he sent Danny and Howard scrambling back to their

00:25:05quarters. Thoroughly embarrassed, Cedric observed their hurried retreat with mild amusement,

00:25:10quietly pondering their excitement for the journey, a feeling he couldn't entirely share.

00:25:14Once the group was refreshed, they pressed on, venturing deeper into the foreboding labyrinth.

00:25:18Unbeknownst to them, a malevolent creature was silently stalking their every move.

00:25:22To this hidden predator, the adventurers were nothing more than prey, watched closely as it

00:25:26gathered its strength and prepared to execute its deadly plans. Before long, their progress was

00:25:31halted by a pack of werewolves blocking their path. Howard, acting as the tank, stepped forward

00:25:36with his massive shield, taunting the wolves to draw their attention and create an opening for his

00:25:41companions to strike. Cedric demonstrated his unparalleled swordsmanship with flawless precision,

00:25:45while Eria dove into the battle, determined to prove herself. Tama, noticing the armored werewolves,

00:25:50briefly considered unleashing a powerful roar, but instead chose a water-based attack. With perfect

00:25:55aim, he struck one werewolf down and swiftly eliminated two more, leaving his party in awe

00:26:00of his skill. Meanwhile, the hidden monster observing from the shadows was taken aback by

00:26:04how quickly his wolves had been defeated, especially by Tama, whose command of elemental power was

00:26:09unexpected. Despite their impressive strength, the monster knew he couldn't allow these intruders to

00:26:14advance further, resolving to escalate the situation. He prepared to intervene whether by unleashing more

00:26:19weapons or stepping in himself. Back with the heroes, everyone was shocked by the elemental cat's

00:26:24abilities. Eria, utterly captivated, openly expressed her admiration, even suggesting she

00:26:28wouldn't mind being subdued by Tama's strength. He found her words peculiar, but Tama resisted his

00:26:33animal instincts, reminding himself that Eria was still his master. They soon arrived at a chamber

00:26:38filled with an oppressive, crushing atmosphere, so Cedric raised his hand, halting the group. Then,

00:26:43from the shadows, emerged Beryl Astaroth, the Labyrinth's master. He declared that their

00:26:47journey would end here, revealing himself as a surviving demon seeking vengeance for his fallen

00:26:52king. Dany immediately accused Beryl of targeting Lennard Village out of revenge, but the demon

00:26:57dismissed the claim with a sinister grin, explaining that the town was merely the beginning of a much

00:27:01larger scheme. Without hesitation, he summoned a group of trolls to attack. Realizing the threat,

00:27:07Cedric quickly ordered the team to split up. But Beryl had anticipated this move and conjured a barrier

00:27:12that isolated Tama from the rest of the group. As a troll charged at Tama, he fought back fiercely,

00:27:17managing to tear off its arm, to his frustration. However, the severed limb regenerated almost

00:27:21instantly. Meanwhile, Cedric's team found themselves surrounded by enemies, leaving them with no choice

00:27:26but to place their hopes in Cedric's leadership to guide them to safety. Cedric unsheathed his blade,

00:27:32which began to pulse with dark magic. And with a wicked laugh, he charged at two trolls, slicing them

00:27:36apart so thoroughly they couldn't regenerate, removing them from the battlefield entirely.

00:27:40Beryl's eyes widened as he recognized the forbidden magic Cedric wielded an ability used only by the

00:27:46great mage during the Ragnarok war. Cedric smirked with amusement because this was going to be so

00:27:50fun for him. Meanwhile, Tama attempted a stone war attack, but the trolls barely flinched and

00:27:55their wounds healed instantly. Realizing the danger, Tama retreated, his mind racing as he

00:28:00considered whether to evolve into his stronger form. However, evolving would mean breaking his bond

00:28:05with Arya, a sacrifice Tama refused to make. Resolute in his choice to stay by her side,

00:28:09he unleashed flame roar, scorching the trolls and preventing their wounds from regenerating.

00:28:14His daring tactics succeeded, and the trolls collapsed in defeat. Enraged by the relentless

00:28:18attack, Beryl prepared for the next confrontation. Vulcan charged forward with his massive hammer,

00:28:23swinging it powerfully, but Beryl skillfully dodged and deflected Arya's knife strike with his dagger,

00:28:28smirking. Beryl mocked the hammer's slow and predictable movements. However, he was caught off guard

00:28:33when Vulcan suddenly kicked up a cloud of dust, temporarily blinding him. Seizing the opportunity,

00:28:38Arya darted forward and drove her blade into Beryl's chest. At first, he dismissed the wound

00:28:43as trivial, but then light radiated from the elf's enchanted dagger, amplifying the damage and forcing

00:28:48him to his knees. Snarling in pain, Beryl struck back with his dagger, delivering a vicious wound to

00:28:53Arya far more than a simple cut. The group rushed to her side, panic setting in as Tama feared the

00:28:58weapon might be poisoned. Meanwhile, Beryl, still alive, smirked darkly and declared that humanity would

00:29:03crumble when true power returned. Then, with those ominous words, his body began to petrify,

00:29:08turning to stone before crumbling into dust. Meanwhile, the poison rapidly spread through

00:29:13Arya's arm. Cedric examined the wound with a grim expression, identifying it as dragon venom,

00:29:17a lethal toxin. Howard pressed her arm against his enchanted shield, hoping to slow the poison's

00:29:22progress. While the group hurried back to Lennard Village, upon their arrival, the village doctor

00:29:27confirmed their fears. Dragon venom was invariably fatal within a day and a half, and survival was

00:29:32impossible without the eye of an earth dragon. Desperate to save Arya, the group debated the

00:29:36idea of hunting the beast, but Cedric adamantly objected, insisting there wasn't enough time,

00:29:41as Arya's pain grew unbearable. Tama, consumed by guilt and despair, leapt out the window and took off.

00:29:47Memories of Arya saving his life overwhelmed Tama, and he made a solemn vow to repay her kindness,

00:29:52no matter the cost. Determined, he raced to the ruins where he had been reborn as an elemental cat,

00:29:57ready to confront the earth dragon, the same beast he had fought before and barely escaped.

00:30:01The dragon, surprised to see Tama return, sneered and taunted him for fleeing during their last

00:30:06encounter. But this time, Tama didn't falter. Deep down, he understood that his current strength

00:30:11wasn't enough to win. With no other options, Tama made a life-altering choice. He decided to evolve

00:30:16into a full behemoth, unleashing his ultimate power to save Arya. Tama, now towering in his massive form,

00:30:22unleashes a torrent of flames, roaring furiously at the dragon below. However, the beast is far too quick,

00:30:27lunging forward with incredible speed, spewing her own blaze of fire before clamping her scorching

00:30:32jaws around Tama's throat. Tama's pupils tremble in agony, yet this was all part of his carefully

00:30:37orchestrated plan. He had anticipated that the dragon, overconfident in her attack, would leave

00:30:42herself vulnerable. As she bites down, Tama retaliates by snapping his flame-coated tail into

00:30:46her eye, bursting it like a fragile water balloon. The dragon collapses in defeat, but the victory comes

00:30:51at a cost. Tama's mana is completely drained, reverting him to his small, fluffy form. There's no time to

00:30:56lament his diminished state, as the dragon eye must be delivered to his master. Without hesitation,

00:31:01he tucks the dragon eye into his inventory, spreads his bat-like wings, and takes flight to bring it to

00:31:06Arya. Back at their home, Arya lies bandaged and struggling to cling to life. Vulcan stays by her

00:31:11side, his eyes brimming with tears, while the rest of the group observes the heartbreaking scene in

00:31:15hushed silence. Suddenly, a loud thud outside breaks the tension, startling everyone. Cedric and

00:31:20Dany rush out to discover the earth dragon's lifeless body, and a tiny, battered Tama sprawled on top of it,

00:31:26covered in blood and utterly drained. Cedric quickly declares that there's no time for

00:31:30explanations, instructing everyone to grab the dragon eye and focus on saving Arya immediately.

00:31:35As the group scrambles to act, Tama quietly prays for Arya, unaware that she remains ensnared in a

00:31:40harrowing nightmare. In her dream, Arya finds herself surrounded by flames as her village is reduced

00:31:45to ruins, torn apart by destruction. At just 13 years old, her home was attacked by demons searching

00:31:50for the Philosopher's Stone, slaughtering everyone in their path without mercy. In the chaos,

00:31:54we see young Arya trembling with fear, trying to flee but accidentally crossing paths with the

00:31:59demons. Paralyzed by terror, she could only shake uncontrollably, just as all hope seemed lost.

00:32:04An elemental cat, strikingly similar to Tama, appeared out of nowhere and saved her life.

00:32:08Suddenly, Arya jolts awake, the vivid memory of her past still sharp in her mind. At that moment,

00:32:13she realizes why she has always felt such a deep affection for cats. Her gaze falls on Tama,

00:32:18curled up peacefully beside her, and a profound sense of gratitude washes over her. The next morning,

00:32:23everyone is relieved and overjoyed to see Arya looking noticeably better. Arnold,

00:32:27overwhelmed by emotion, begins sobbing uncontrollably. Although she's no longer in

00:32:31immediate danger, traces of the toxin still remain in her system, requiring Arya to spend the next few

00:32:36days in recovery to fully heal. Later that evening, Tama ventures into the forest alone,

00:32:40seeking out monsters to test his growing abilities. Since his clash with the Earth Dragon,

00:32:44he's been wrestling with the mechanics of his evolutionary forms. While his colossal form seems

00:32:49to have vanished, he's discovered that he gained new powers from the dragon. Spotting a towering

00:32:53minotaur in the distance, Tama seizes the opportunity to try out his newly acquired dragon

00:32:57claw and dragon fang. With swift, devastating precision, he takes down the monster in seconds,

00:33:02astonished by the sheer power he now wields. Suddenly, the faint sound of footsteps catches Tama's

00:33:07ear. Emerging from the shadows is a maiden, her torn clothing and elegant features creating a stark

00:33:12contrast with the unnerving aura she exudes. What's peculiar is how she speaks to Tama directly,

00:33:17referring to him as the strong one, almost as if she's familiar with him. Even more unsettling,

00:33:22she swiftly snatches one of Tama's armor pieces, as though she's been tracking him. The woman then

00:33:26questions why Tama is in his furball form, her curiosity quickly escalating into a frenzied

00:33:31obsession. She begins chasing him, shouting about his strong body and trying to grab him. Terrified,

00:33:36Tama lets out a screech and darts toward a tiny hole, barely evading her outstretched hands. Her erratic

00:33:41and deranged behavior leaves him utterly shaken. While he manages to escape, he then returns to Arya,

00:33:46who is peacefully asleep and curls into her arms for comfort, still shaken by the encounter. As he

00:33:51drifts off, Tama can't shake the eerie feeling that the crazy woman seems familiar. The following

00:33:56day, Arya dresses Tama in an adorable linen outfit adorned with frills, making him look irresistibly

00:34:01cute. The two then head out for a picnic, where Arya lays out a delightful spread of treats and hands

00:34:06Tama some berries to snack on. As they enjoy the peaceful moment, Arya brings up the earth dragon,

00:34:11reminiscing about how they had found Tama bloodied and exhausted beside its lifeless body.

00:34:15She then begins to share more about her past, asking Tama if he remembers the stories she had

00:34:19told him before. Arya recounts the harrowing attack on her village, Lumines, when demons had invaded,

00:34:24and how an elemental cat had come to her rescue. The village salvation ultimately came from the sword

00:34:29saint, who single-handedly vanquished the demons. On that day, young Arya had made a solemn vow to

00:34:34become a strong warrior, leaving her mother and family behind with the promise that she would

00:34:38return even stronger. However, Arya's voice trembles as she admits she feels like she's always being

00:34:43saved, whether by Vulcan, Cedric's party, or Tama himself. Tears then form in her eyes as she

00:34:48confesses that, despite her vow to protect her comrades and her people, it feels like she's the

00:34:53one constantly needing protection. Tama quickly jumps to his feet, comforting Arya as she wipes

00:34:57her tears. She understands what he's trying to tell her that she shouldn't feel down because,

00:35:01after all, she defeated Beryl herself and deserves some credit. Later, Arya and Tama pay a visit to Vulcan,

00:35:07who reveals that the armor Arya had commissioned is finally ready. Arya had amassed a small fortune as a

00:35:12reward for defeating Beryl and supplemented it by selling the loot from the trolls that Tama had taken

00:35:17down. She had invested the entire amount into purchasing top-notch armor. Although it came at a

00:35:21steep price, Vulcan reassures her that her safety is worth every coin. The new armor is both stylish

00:35:26and functional, and Arya's excitement is palpable. She bounces around joyfully, thrilled by how

00:35:31lightweight and comfortable it feels. Vulcan begins explaining the intricate details of the armor's

00:35:36craftsmanship, but Tama remains silent, simply admiring how impressive his master looks in her new

00:35:41battle attire. The three of them then decide to take a trip and test the armor in action. As they

00:35:45enter a tunnel, the atmosphere is tense because it's been some time since Arya has ventured into

00:35:50such a place. Tama jumps off her shoulder and uses his Lion King's blessing to grant her and Vulcan

00:35:55resistance to fire and ice, a gesture that makes Arya gush over how adorable he is. Soon, the group

00:36:00encounters an ogre, and Arya doesn't hesitate. She charges forward with blinding speed, surprising even

00:36:05Vulcan because she didn't even use her skill. With one precise blow, she beheads the creature,

00:36:10leaving it no chance to counterattack. Arya celebrates her success, praising the armor

00:36:14and her sharp moon knives. Their moment of joy is abruptly cut short when Tama freezes,

00:36:18his instincts picking up on a disturbing presence nearby. From the shadows emerges the unsettling

00:36:23woman, muttering cryptically about destiny and her mission to find Tama. Confused, Arya asks if

00:36:28she's a lost adventurer from ruin, but the woman dismisses the idea, claiming she knows nothing of

00:36:33such a place. Instead, she declares herself a being born of darkness, reaching out toward Tama with a

00:36:38desperate intensity. Vulcan speculates that she might be suffering from amnesia, but her behavior

00:36:42only becomes stranger. Her rambling turns more erratic, spilling secrets best left unspoken.

00:36:47Before stunning everyone with an outrageous demand, she insists that Tama must impregnate her.

00:36:52Arya remains calm and waves her off, firmly stating that Tama is just a little kitten.

00:36:56Tama, horrified, hides in Arya's arms for safety. Seeing this, the woman gets further enraged and

00:37:02accuses Arya of taming Tama and stealing him away. Despite the bizarre interaction, Arya remains

00:37:07compassionate and invites the woman to join their group, believing it's safer than leaving her alone

00:37:11where she might end up as a slave or worse. Arya reassures Tama that he will be protected,

00:37:16and the woman reluctantly agrees, seeing this as her best chance to stay close to Tama.

00:37:20On the way back, they decide to give the wild woman a name. Though she shows little interest,

00:37:24Arya points to a star and suggests the name Stella, explaining that it means beautiful in her

00:37:29homeland. Even Tama seems to approve, and the woman eventually agrees to be called Stella.

00:37:33Once they return home, the challenging task of washing Stella begins. Impatient,

00:37:37she repeatedly asks how long it will take, but Arya remains determined to scrub her thoroughly.

00:37:42When the bath is finally over, Stella feels refreshed and delighted, jumping around and

00:37:46marveling at the peculiar stone used to clean her. Vulcan corrects her, explaining that it's

00:37:50called soap. Overcome with excitement, Stella dives into the pool with a cannonball and splashes

00:37:55around like an exuberant child. Arya then calls Tama over to wash his little feet. Seeing this,

00:38:00Stella gets jealous. She yells that it's not fair and demands to wash Tama herself. But Arya calmly

00:38:05turns her down, saying only she, as his owner, has that privilege. Later that night, Tama wakes up

00:38:10to Stella telepathically calling him. He sees her creepily staring at him. To his shock, they're

00:38:14communicating through their minds. Stella reminds him of how he slaughtered her, confusing Tama until

00:38:19she mentions the labyrinth. That's when he realizes she is the reincarnated earth dragon. Stella explains

00:38:24that she was born from darkness, gifted with S-rank abilities that made her untouchable by other

00:38:28creatures until Tama defeated her by destroying her eye. After her defeat, she was reborn and

00:38:33reincarnated, much like Tama, but this time as a frail and tattered maiden. In the final moments

00:38:38of her past life, she made a vow to seek out Tama in her next life, and she wasted no

00:38:42time in

00:38:43fulfilling that promise. Tama listens nervously, his posture tense and hunched, as he processes her

00:38:48story. Hesitantly, he asks if she has returned to take revenge, but Stella reveals that her intentions

00:38:53are far more sinister. Stella then calmly proclaims that she has completely surrendered to him

00:38:57and has no desire for battle. Instead, she confesses her true intention. All she wants is his

00:39:02baby kitties to reproduce, leaving Tama utterly horrified. She passionately declares that he is

00:39:07the only strong male she has ever encountered and admits that she has fallen hopelessly in love with

00:39:12him. Suddenly, without warning, Stella lunges at Tama, her intentions unmistakable. However,

00:39:17Aria intervenes just in time, pulling Tama to safety and leaving Stella trembling in a corner.

00:39:22Consumed with shame, Aria firmly scolds Stella, warning her to stay away from Tama.

00:39:26Before calmly turning and heading back to bed, as Tama tries to relax, he can still hear Stella's

00:39:31eerie muttering in the shadows, vowing that she will eventually find a way to get to him.

00:39:35The next morning, Aria invited Stella to breakfast, tasting real food for the very first time.

00:39:40Stella momentarily lost herself in pure bliss before quickly regaining her composure and engaging in

00:39:45another internal conversation with Tama. After finishing their meal, Aria decided to take Stella on

00:39:50a stroll through town, hoping that the sights might trigger some of the memories Stella claimed to

00:39:54have forgotten. However, the only thing Stella could remember was the image of Tama leaping into

00:39:58her golden gloves, which she insisted was the only mystery she truly cared about solving.

00:40:03This made Tama realize that, in Stella's perspective, Aria was the stronger of the two.

00:40:08Aria then suggested that Stella consider becoming an adventurer as a way to find purpose. To help her

00:40:12prepare, she brought Stella to Vulcan's shop to address her plot cannons. Both Aria and Vulcan were

00:40:17slightly doubtful about Stella's choice of an outfit that looked like something out of an online

00:40:21catalog. But Stella was thrilled with how the snug fit kept her melons secure and comfortable.

00:40:26Afterward, Aria focused on finding the right weapon for Stella. However, Stella dismissed the

00:40:31need for concern by demonstrating her half-dragon abilities, revealing that she still retained a great

00:40:36deal of strength from her past life. The group experimented with various weapons until Stella

00:40:40decided on a massive shield designed for giants. When Tama curiously asked why she hadn't chosen a

00:40:45sword, Stella explained that her defeat against him had taught her the value of prioritizing defense.

00:40:50Feeling satisfied, she paired the shield with a sword for balance, and the group proceeded into

00:40:54the dungeon to test her new gear. With Aria assigning Tama to keep a close watch on her during

00:40:59the battle, before Vulcan could come up with a proper plan, Stella rushed ahead and stumbled upon

00:41:03three goblins casually enjoying a meal. The startled goblins immediately went on the offensive,

00:41:08prompting Aria and Vulcan to yell for Stella to fall back and regroup with Tama. However,

00:41:13Stella paid no attention to their warnings. She dropped her shield and sword, unleashing her dragon

00:41:17claws to kill two of the goblins in an instant. The third goblin attempted a desperate counterattack

00:41:22from behind, but Stella snatched up her sword mid-swing and obliterated the creature with a

00:41:27single, decisive strike. Aria and Vulcan were left utterly frozen in shock, completely paralyzed by

00:41:32what they had just witnessed. Meanwhile, Tama quietly noted that Stella still retained the same

00:41:37extraordinary abilities she had in her previous life. With no goblins left to oppose her, Stella grew

00:41:42increasingly irritated, proclaiming her desire for stronger opponents. The group decided to venture

00:41:47further into the dungeon and eventually came across two orcs. Wasting no time, Stella hurled the first

00:41:52orc against the wall with a thunderous impact. The second orc hesitated, clearly realizing it had made

00:41:57a grave mistake by attacking, but it was already too late. Stella swiftly dispatched it, leaving the

00:42:01corridor soaked in the remains of her enemies. Encouraged by her display of power, the group pressed even

00:42:06deeper into the dungeon until they reached a section infested with a roper slime. However, before Aria

00:42:11could issue a warning, Stella recklessly charged straight into battle. Stella's confidence faltered

00:42:16the moment the slime's tentacles wrapped around her, sending an uncomfortable shiver down her spine.

00:42:21Tama quickly pointed out the dangers of underestimating such creatures, warning her it might cost her life

00:42:26if she got caught again. Provoked by this, Stella recklessly launched another attack, only for the slime

00:42:31to counter by grabbing her sword and drenching her in sticky love juices. The unexpected assault caused

00:42:36Stella to lose her composure, prompting Aria and Vulcan to rush in to rescue her. Meanwhile,

00:42:41Tama noticed that Stella's erratic behavior seemed to be linked to her dragon instinct.

00:42:45Using one of his own tentacle skills, Tama restrained both the girls and the slime before

00:42:49unleashing a powerful water blast that obliterated the slime, putting an end to the chaos caused by

00:42:54the creature. After regaining her composure, Stella felt deeply humiliated by her earlier display of

00:42:59weakness. Tama, however, offered her gentle words of reassurance, pledging to protect her from any harm

00:43:04in the future. This heartfelt promise once again ignited Stella's dragon instincts, causing her

00:43:09body to produce an overwhelming amount of dragon slime. Determined to learn from her missteps,

00:43:14Stella decided to accept Vulcan's guidance, making a firm vow to grow stronger and prove herself as a

00:43:19valuable member of the team. Their conversation brought back memories of the adventurers she had

00:43:23once defeated in her previous life, and she vividly recalled how powerful they had become when they

00:43:28worked as a team. The thought of reaching that same level of strength now filled her with renewed

00:43:32excitement and unwavering determination. At that moment, Aria became overwhelmed by her own

00:43:37intrusive thoughts. She turned to Tama and passionately pleaded with him to use his tentacle

00:43:41skill on her plot cannons. Tama was left utterly speechless, unable to grasp the sheer absurdity of

00:43:47her request. Before he could even begin to process the situation, Aria started shedding her armor with

00:43:51wild abandon. Thankfully, Vulcan stepped in just in time, successfully restraining Aria before the

00:43:56situation could escalate any further. Shortly after, the group resumed their journey deeper into the

00:44:01dungeon, eagerly seeking their next unfortunate target. After some discussion, the group took a

00:44:06moment to plan Stella's role in their coordinated tactics. With her immense strength and durability,

00:44:11they decided she would take on the position of the team's vanguard, serving as both a shield and

00:44:15an enforcer. It wasn't long before they came across a group of orcs. Stella stepped forward without

00:44:20hesitation, raising her shield to draw the creature's attacks. One particularly aggressive orc charged

00:44:25recklessly at her, but Stella countered with a single, precise blow that severed its arm as she closed in to

00:44:30deliver the finishing strike. The wounded orc, now consumed by fear, turned and bolted like a terrified pig,

00:44:36refusing to let it escape. Stella immediately gave chase, driven by unwavering determination. At the same

00:44:41time, Tama activated his enchanted enhancement ability to amplify Aria and Vulcan's magical prowess,

00:44:47unintentionally fueling Aria's already growing fixation on his eggplant. Together, they obliterated every

00:44:52remaining creature that dared to cross their path until they stumbled upon a tranquil dungeon bath. Without

00:44:57hesitation, the group decided to take a break and relax. What followed was pure chaos for Tama,

00:45:02as he struggled to maintain control of his inner thoughts, while the girls shamelessly flaunted

00:45:06their melons, testing the limits of his self-restraint. The situation took an even more dramatic turn

00:45:11when Aria, completely unapologetic, pulled Tama onto her chest, insisting it was the perfect spot for

00:45:16him to unwind. Not willing to back down, Stella pressed her dragon melons against Aria's, sparking a heated

00:45:22rivalry over who truly deserved Tama's attention. Convinced beyond a doubt that Aria was beneath her,

00:45:27Stella boldly proclaimed that she could treasure Tama far more than Aria ever could. Naturally,

00:45:32Aria wasn't about to concede, and their fiery disagreement escalated rapidly. Vulcan, stuck in

00:45:36the middle of the turmoil, tried to intervene by proposing a compromise suggesting that Stella take

00:45:41the role of Tama's junior wife. However, this suggestion only added fuel to the fire, intensifying

00:45:46their argument even further. As the tension between them peaked, the sheer force of their clashing melons

00:45:51sent Tama hurtling straight into the ceiling, leaving him to question every decision that had

00:45:55brought him to this absurd moment. Later, the group made their way back to the guild to introduce

00:45:59Stella to Arnold. However, before they could officially register her as an adventurer, Arnold

00:46:04introduced them to a man named Lays, who had an unusual request. Lays explained that he was

00:46:09preparing for a long journey and required a capable team to safeguard a highly valuable item. When Aria

00:46:14curiously asked about the nature of this item, Lays declined to discuss it in public. Instead, he led them

00:46:19to a secure storage facility, where he unveiled the mysterious object in question Stella's own

00:46:24dragon carcass. The revelation left her utterly stunned. Lays explains that this is the remains

00:46:29of a formidable creature that rebelled against its foe at least. That's how it appears to the merchant,

00:46:33leading him to purchase the item. As Stella remains fixated on the skeleton, Tama reaches out to her

00:46:38telepathically, asking if she's alright. She replies that it feels strange because the moment her eyes

00:46:43fell on it, a memory of being killed resurfaced, overwhelming her with sorrow. In reality, this pain stems from

00:46:48the deep emotions she holds for the powerful Tama. At that moment, Arnold arrives, and just before Aria

00:46:53departs, he hands her the alpha promotion tag for rank B. Following that, the group embarks on their

00:46:58escort mission, while Arnold and Vulcan see the travelers off. As they journey onward, the adventurers

00:47:03face several threats, but none have managed to halt the carriage's progress, as Aria, Stella, and Tama

00:47:09perform their roles flawlessly. As the day comes to an end, the group sets up camp and Lays gives Aria

00:47:14some lilies of the valley. Stella curiously asks if they're edible, to which Lays explains that his

00:47:19wife, Alyssa, loves these flowers and that he used to gather them for her. Upon learning that the man

00:47:23has a wife, Tama realizes why he shows no interest in her master. Aria then inquires about his plans

00:47:28for the earth dragon skeleton, and he admits that it's a good question. A weapons merchant had begun

00:47:33stockpiling rare materials, believing that a great war was on the horizon. Hearing this, Tama recalls the

00:47:38moment when the demon they battled mentioned that a powerful creature had been resurrected.

00:47:42Finally, Lays remarks that they should reach Gladstone by tomorrow, suggesting that it's best

00:47:46to rest. With that, the group settles down to sleep. But at a certain hour in the early morning,

00:47:51an unusual phenomenon suddenly starts spreading across the area. Tama rushes out of his tent,

00:47:56trying to grasp what's happening, as everything around them appears to be affected, except for

00:48:00their camp. Or so it seems. Aria wakes up in the midst of this, while Lays reassures everyone that

00:48:04the cargo is secure, explaining that this is merely the formation of a new labyrinth. Few are aware of it,

00:48:09but it is indeed possible for a dungeon to spontaneously emerge in the middle of nowhere.

00:48:14The group moves forward, passing through the thick fog that had formed during the dungeon's

00:48:18creation, and Lays assumes they made it through safely. Aria feels relieved, but admits that she

00:48:22would love to return and explore. Meanwhile, Tama contemplates the fact that newly formed

00:48:26labyrinths always contain rare materials, freshly available for the taking. After distancing themselves

00:48:31from the fog, Lays asks the adventurers if they're interested in entering the labyrinth,

00:48:36noting that opportunities to explore such a freshly formed place are rare. Naturally,

00:48:40it would be even more worthwhile if they agreed to sell any valuable items they discovered to him.

00:48:44The two become excited about the challenge, but the merchant advises them to stay alert,

00:48:48as this place didn't exist just hours ago, meaning no one can predict what lies within.

00:48:53Therefore, every precaution is necessary. Keeping this in mind, as they near the fog,

00:48:57Tama activates the Divine Lion's protection to shield his team. With this enhancement,

00:49:01Stella feels no need to restrain herself against any threat and immediately charges forward despite

00:49:06Aria calling for her to slow down. Unsure of how to rein in Stella, the elf recalls that Vulcan had

00:49:11written something down as a precaution in case she lost control. The note contained the following

00:49:15message. Stella, if you fight alongside me, I'll allow you to hug Tama once. Upon hearing these words,

00:49:21Stella quickly changes her mind and turns back, joining her allies once more and settling down all for a

00:49:27chance to grab his favorite cat. Amidst this, the group suddenly hears feminine laughter echoing

00:49:31around them, and a magical sphere appears, inquiring whether the adventurers are seeking

00:49:37the treasure. The orb invites them to follow, and without hesitation, Stella dashes after it.

00:49:42However, the illusion leads them straight into an ambush, where two giant monkeys charge at them.

00:49:46Stella does her job as a tank, taunting the enemies and making them focus on her. When one of the

00:49:51monkeys headbutts her shield, Aria takes the opportunity and kills both monsters. Aria praises the

00:49:56excellent teamwork of her companion, but Stella mourns she didn't do it for the team, but specifically

00:50:00for Tama. Amidst this, a nearby bush suddenly begins to shake, and a soft, innocent voice attempts

00:50:06to feign innocence, claiming that no one is there. Stella, not fooled, firmly orders them to come out

00:50:11before they have to chase them down. In response, two pixies emerge, each vastly different in size.

00:50:16The smaller one introduces herself as Lily, a high pixie, while the other one is Fairy, a high dryad.

00:50:21Stella curiously asks what these creatures taste like, to which Aria responds that they are

00:50:25pixies, typically found in labyrinth forests, though she has never encountered any herself.

00:50:30Finally, she introduces herself to the duo, but the two seem only interested in Tama,

00:50:34immediately picking him up to pet him. Feeling this is unfair, Stella attacks them in frustration,

00:50:39but Tama quickly intervenes through telepathy, asking her to calm down.

00:50:42Stella insists that these pests try to kill the group by leading them into a trap,

00:50:47but Lily quickly denies the accusation. She explains that she and Fairy had no such intentions,

00:50:51they simply wanted to befriend the elemental cat, and were merely guiding him toward the treasure.

00:50:56Speaking of treasure, Fairy reveals the grand item hidden behind this labyrinth. Upon opening the box,

00:51:01they discover that it is the exquisite flask of a potion that certainly seems very rare.

00:51:06Lily and Fairy inform them that there are other treasures like this in the area, but to access them,

00:51:10they first need to obtain a key hidden within a tree swarming with giant evil bees. Just as they

00:51:15receive this information, the insects launch an attack, forcing Stella to shield herself,

00:51:19while Tama swiftly responds with Aeth a howl. At the same time, Aria follows up with Whirlwind Cut,

00:51:25striking down all the bees in their path. After their victory, Fairy picks up Tama again,

00:51:29emphasizing how strong he is despite being so small and cute at the same time. Lily praises the cat's

00:51:34two companions, while Stella makes it clear she's the type who gets things done. Meanwhile,

00:51:39Aria retrieves a key from a tree, and Lily and Fairy explain that she will be responsible for opening

00:51:44the door to the labyrinth's boss, who guards the dungeon's main treasure. Aria assumes that this place

00:51:49must contain some exceptionally rare items and suggests they take a break before moving forward,

00:51:53considering their exhaustion from the long journey and the uncertainty of what awaits them. At that

00:51:58moment, the pixies eagerly request to be taken to a human city, expressing their long-held desire to

00:52:03visit one. At dawn, the pixies are enchanted by their first visit to a city, and Aria asks them to

00:52:08stay close so they don't get lost. But the pixies are so mesmerized that they run off towards the first

00:52:12enticing smell they detect. Consequently, Aria has to scold them, reminding them that they could be captured if

00:52:18they are careless. Since fairies are rare and valuable, finally, Aria declares that it's time

00:52:23to head to Lay's store and see what they might come across along the way only to find the pixies

00:52:27once again darting off, snatching a bowl of human food from a nearby stall. Seeing this,

00:52:32Stella insists on tasting it as well. Aria quickly steps in to assure the stall owner that she will

00:52:37cover the cost, noticing his growing impatience. With that settled, Fairy finally gets the chance to

00:52:41try the food she had never encountered before. Some time later, after retrieving the rare item from the

00:52:46labyrinth, Lay's is thrilled to discover that it is the Tear of Truth, a liquid that prevents anyone

00:52:51who consumes it from lying. The merchant assumes that obtaining such an item must have been a great

00:52:56challenge, and just as Aria is about to explain the ordeal, the pixies suddenly burst into the room,

00:53:01behaving like two mischievous children. Upon seeing them, Lay's is somehow moved and apologizes for

00:53:06becoming emotional. But the truth is he had never seen pixies before. He then mentions he forgot to

00:53:11handle a matter and leaves without further explanation. Later, at bedtime, Stella approaches Tama to claim

00:53:16her reward a hug from him, but the cat slaps Stella. However, this time even Aria admits her

00:53:21companion did a great job. Therefore, she asks her pet to grant just one hug. Reluctantly, Tama

00:53:26complies. At that moment, even Stella can barely believe what she's about to accomplish so much

00:53:31so that she hesitates, unsure of how to claim her long-awaited reward. Finally, she gently pats the

00:53:36small creature before eagerly leaning in to sniff his belly with excitement. Meanwhile, Vulcan approaches

00:53:41the escort group after completing her work in the city, only to be caught off guard by a skeleton

00:53:46suddenly rising from the ground. However, since it poses no real threat, she effortlessly smashes

00:53:51it with her hammer. But as a bell tolls, a surge of purple energy surrounds the scattered bones,

00:53:55leaving Vulcan trying to make sense of what's unfolding. At that moment, the escort group

00:53:59reaches the boss's door and turns the key. Then, they enter the portal, leaving the fairies behind,

00:54:04who cheer for their companions. Upon reaching the other side, the teen is confronted by a B-ranked

00:54:09torrent dragon, which immediately launches a barrage of powerful magical projectiles,

00:54:13slamming into Stella's shield with force. However, Stella refuses to retreat. Pressing

00:54:18forward undeterred, she strikes the dragon with her shield, successfully drawing its attention to

00:54:23herself. Area attempts to use the distraction to flank the enemy, but the dragon catches on and

00:54:27swings its tail toward her. Reacting swiftly, Stella dashes back, intercepting the attack with

00:54:32her shield to protect her ally. Determined to keep the beast occupied, she reassures her teammates

00:54:37that she'll handle it, urging them to join the fight and bring the battle to a swift resolution,

00:54:41all while taunting the dragon as much as possible. Tama is impressed by what Stella has been capable

00:54:46of doing in such a short time with the group. Again, the tank explains that she's the type of

00:54:50person who resolves things. As the torrent dragon strikes at her with its claw, Stella seizes its

00:54:55entire arm, creating a crucial opening in its defense, one that Tama immediately recognizes as

00:55:00his chance to act. Wasting no time, he unleashes flame howling and ensnares the enemy with his tentacles.

00:55:06At that moment, Area sprints forward at full speed, delivering a swift slash to its throat,

00:55:10dealing a fatal wound that brings the battle to an end and secures their hard-earned victory.

00:55:14Tama rejoices in their victory, celebrating the defeat of their first boss and praising his master,

00:55:19while Stella proudly boasts that they couldn't have won without her assistance. Shortly after,

00:55:23the group discovers a treasure chest containing two scrolls. Upon activation, they release a surge

00:55:28of maximum energy into Area's body, granting her an ancient ability known as Sacred Blade.

00:55:33With their new achievement, the group heads back to the Labyrinth Forest in search of the pixies,

00:55:37only to find that the two are nowhere to be seen. Growing concerned, Tama dashes toward the bowl of

00:55:42food fairy had been holding, fearing that something may have happened to them. Meanwhile, in his office,

00:55:47Lays rings his bell and contemplates that it won't be long before something significant begins. As he

00:55:52does so, his gaze lingers on a portrait of his wife, Alyssa. As they make their way back home,

00:55:57the group moves anxiously through the forest, completely unaware of where the two pixies might have

00:56:01disappeared. With their heads lowered, they return to the city, where Stella and Area recount

00:56:05everything to Vulcan. Hearing their story, Vulcan proposes that they check the tavern. All of a

00:56:10sudden, a butler steps into the room accompanied by two hooded men, declaring that Count Gladstone

00:56:15is looking for Area. As he speaks, it becomes evident that this man is assessing the women's

00:56:19bodies in a demeaning way, letting his gaze wander over each of them. He then comments on Stella and

00:56:24Vulcan, noting their striking presence and beauty, assuring that the count would undoubtedly be delighted

00:56:29to see them. Stella has no clue what the man is referring to but declines nonetheless. Area firmly states that

00:56:34they are occupied at the moment, but assures him that they will visit the count at a later time,

00:56:38whoever he may be. However, the butler clarifies that refusing a direct order from the count is

00:56:43considered a crime. Realizing that the situation is more serious than it seems, Vulcan quickly responds,

00:56:48saying they will prepare right away. Thus, the butler waits for the women in the carriage outside.

00:56:53As the man leaves the shop, Stella asks why they need to go with this lunatic since they need to

00:56:57find

00:56:57the fairies, but Vulcan mentions that she's heard some intriguing things about this Count Gladstone.

00:57:02While riding in the carriage, Vulcan discloses that this noble has a reputation for abducting women.

00:57:07Stella then questions whether he might have taken Lily and Ferry, to which Vulcan confirms that this

00:57:11is precisely why they agreed to go with the Count's butler. After some time, they finally reach the

00:57:16noble's mansion, where the butler steps forward and knocks on his master's door to announce the

00:57:20arrival of the guests. The Count commands everyone to come inside, and as soon as he sees them seated on

00:57:25his sofa, he remarks that he has never encountered women as stunning as these. Vulcan expresses her

00:57:30gratitude for his hospitality, and Arya follows suit. Upon hearing this, the noble suddenly snaps

00:57:35his fingers, as if struck by a brilliant idea, and suggests that they could become his friends,

00:57:39or rather, his lovers. The faggot man confidently claims that no one has ever regretted this,

00:57:44while Tama silently notes that this unsightly man is just as repulsive as the rumors suggested.

00:57:49Just then, the butler enters carrying a jug of tea and proceeds to pour a cup for each guest.

00:57:54Gladstone encourages everyone to drink, but the women remain visibly cautious,

00:57:57uncertain about what might be in the beverage. Vulcan politely declines, stating she isn't thirsty,

00:58:02but the Count insists they at least give it a try. With that, Arya prepares to take a sip,

00:58:07causing the man to nearly drool in anticipation. However, just before the elf can drink, Tama

00:58:11activates the Lion King's blessing, strengthening her allies and ensuring no harm befalls their bodies.

00:58:16Moments later, all three take a sip of the tea, and with undisguised delight, Gladstone eagerly

00:58:21asks for their thoughts. To his surprise, all three loved it and even ask for more, leaving the Count

00:58:26extremely confused and questioning his butler why they didn't pass out. At his master's ear,

00:58:31the servant confesses he doesn't know, but will prepare a stronger dose. Amid the tension,

00:58:35Stella slams her fist on the table, demanding to know the whereabouts of Lily and Fairy. Without a

00:58:39second thought, she seizes the Count by his shirt, but he adamantly claims to know nothing. Through

00:58:44telepathic communication, Tama urges her to back off, and reluctantly, she releases him,

00:58:49hoping to defuse the situation. Arya still offers an apology for her friend's outburst. However,

00:58:53the Count suddenly turns accusatory, proclaiming that they must be demons who have taken possession

00:58:58of these women's bodies. He then declares that he must employ his family's secret purification

00:59:02method to cleanse their bodies and souls beginning by locking them up immediately. Upon hearing this,

00:59:07the butler claps his hands, signaling the noble's subordinates hooded and armed men who immediately

00:59:12encircle the girls. Stella sarcastically thanks the heavens for leading them into this mess and gets

00:59:17ready to take the men down, but through telepathy, Tama warns that now isn't the right time.

00:59:21Meanwhile, Arya and Vulcan attempt to reassure the Count that they didn't come looking for trouble.

00:59:25Just then, a soldier rushes in, urgently informing the butler that an army of the undead has invaded

00:59:30the city, wreaking havoc among the population. To make matters worse, the horde is advancing

00:59:35straight toward the Count's mansion. Gladstone immediately commands everyone to get ready to

00:59:39flee, but the butler cautions that traveling now would be far too dangerous, suggesting instead

00:59:44that the Count should stay upstairs for his own safety. Finding the idea appealing, Gladstone

00:59:48swiftly orders all his servants to defend him with their lives before dashing up the staircase.

00:59:53The butler then inquires about what should be done with the visitors, but the foppish noble

00:59:56couldn't care less. With that, the noble's employees follow him, leaving the girls alone.

01:00:01Arya confesses she's worried about the people in the city and wishes to go out to do something

01:00:05against the invasion. Her friends agree that action must be taken. Outside, swarms of skeletons spread

01:00:10chaos throughout the territory as people frantically run for their lives, struggling to survive.

01:00:15Arya and Vulcan take charge, guiding the townsfolk toward the hills for safety.

01:00:19Once the civilians successfully escape, the elf jumps into battle, fighting alongside her elemental

01:00:24cat companion. Stella doesn't stay behind and smashes some skeletons with her shield,

01:00:28but finds the fact that they're so fragile too boring. Nearby, a skeleton approaches a defenseless

01:00:33child, but Vulcan saves the little girl by smashing the monster and placing the girl on her back

01:00:38to escape. Upon rejoining her allies, she asserts that there's no way they can take down all these

01:00:42skeletons and that their best option is to find the one controlling them. Agreeing with this strategy,

01:00:47Arya suggests they split up Vulcan while focus on leading the townspeople to safety and protecting

01:00:51the little girl. While Arya, Stella, and Tama head off to track down the caster responsible for

01:00:56summoning these creatures. Meanwhile, the count shelters on the rooftop next to the butler and a

01:01:01soldier. As the group of protagonists hears the sound of a bell ringing toward the mansion of Lays,

01:01:05they arrive there and come face to face with him. He explains that he's only seeking revenge,

01:01:10as Count Gladstone killed his fiancée. Alyssa, fueled by hatred, the man summons even more

01:01:15skeletons, and Tama quickly recognizes him as a necromancer. Lays admits that on his own,

01:01:19he can barely summon two skeletons, but with the assistance of Lily and Fairy,

01:01:23his power increases significantly. With that, the human unveils the two pixies concealed beneath his

01:01:28robe, provoking the group's fury. Tama suspects that Lays used the bell to control the fairies,

01:01:33and that the arrow he's holding might also be connected to this. Speaking of which,

01:01:36Lays uses the arrow to drain the mana from Lily and Fairy to fuel his selfish desires of summoning

01:01:41a true army. After all, as Lays himself says, fairies possess extraordinary mana, and with their

01:01:46power, the human was able to unleash an explosion that turned his entire house into ruins, making

01:01:51way for the skeleton of the earth dragon that Lays was so eager to procure, having received everything

01:01:56he needed and more. The man mockingly thanks the opposing group, claiming that none of this would

01:02:00have been possible without them. With that, Lays positions himself at the center of the giant

01:02:04skeleton's chest, as if becoming the very heart of the conjured beast. Overcome with fury at the

01:02:09sight of her body being desecrated in such a way, Stella charges headfirst through the horde of

01:02:13skeletons, tearing through them with relentless force, only to be swatted away by the dragon's

01:02:17massive paw. Reacting swiftly, Tama unleashes the Aether Howl, shattering the enemy's skeletal tail,

01:02:23but to their dismay, each fractured bone seamlessly returns to its original place, reconstructing the

01:02:28tail with uncanny precision. Now it's Arya's turn, who unleashes her new skill, Holy Blade.

01:02:33With the holy damage, the dragon is finally struck. But the problem is that this skill drains a lot of

01:02:38mana from the user, risking her physical integrity. Noticing this, Tama realizes he cannot evolve into

01:02:43his behemoth form at the moment, so he warns Stella that their master can't use Holy Blade again just

01:02:48yet. They need to buy some time and rescue Lily and Fairy. Without delay, Stella charges with her

01:02:53shield against the horde of skeletons, clearing a path toward the dragon, while Tama follows the same

01:02:58route through the air. In the heart of the city, the residents erect barricades and defend themselves

01:03:02as best they can, but Vulcan arrives, unwilling to abandon them to their fate. The little girl

01:03:07manages to break free from her back and dashes toward her mother. Meanwhile, Vulcan drags her

01:03:11hammer along the ground, carving a line that quickly erupts into a fiery barrier, cutting off the enemy's

01:03:16advance. Shifting back to Tama, he unleashes the flame howl, striking his target. But Stella ends up

01:03:21pinned beneath one of the dragon's massive paws. Drawing on her incredible strength, she pushes against

01:03:25it, using her shield as leverage. Determined not to be defeated by a mere lifeless husk, Tama sees this

01:03:31as an opportunity to conjure his tentacles and grab Lily and Fairy, clearing the way for Aria to finish

01:03:36off Laze. As the elf prepares her skill, Stella uses her integral traction technique to strengthen her

01:03:41legs, freeing herself from the paw and slicing off the beast's left arm with her sword. Tama joins the

01:03:46attack with the flame edge and cuts the dragon, while Aria delivers the final blow to the beast's core

01:03:51with Holy Blade. With that, the monster disappears into thin air, leaving Laze on the ground, mourning deeply

01:03:56as he realizes his vengeance has vanished like dust in the wind. Aria steps forward, insisting that this

01:04:02isn't the real Laze and that Alyssa would never have wished for revenge. Even so, the man refuses to

01:04:06forgive Count Gladstone and once again rings his bell, determined to lead his army to victory. But this

01:04:11time, only a single skeleton responds slowly making its way toward the summoner. As it reaches him, the

01:04:16monster takes his hand and transforms into the image of his wife, surrounding them with the illusion of a

01:04:21vast, serene field. Alyssa smiles, remarking that her husband never thinks clearly when he's upset.

01:04:27Laze begins to weep, pleading for her forgiveness and admitting that everything was his fault.

01:04:31Alyssa gently tells him that he must atone for his sins, and though the path will be difficult,

01:04:35he will find a way to overcome it. With that, she vanishes forever, taking the bell with her along

01:04:39with the entire skeletal army, which relied on the artifact for control. Meanwhile, in the heart of the

01:04:44city, Vulcan watches in shock as the undead dissolve into thin air, while Gladstone trembles in terror

01:04:50as the creatures continue scaling the roof. The next day, in the public square, the population

01:04:54gathers to witness an execution. Inside a tent nearby, the Count's butler claims this is the

01:04:59chance for the chief to demonstrate power. Then, Arya arrives with a jug of tea and serves a cup to

01:05:04Gladstone, who drinks the liquid with a smile, enchanted by the flavor of what seems to be a rather

01:05:09expensive beverage. At this, Tama acknowledges that the tea was indeed not cheap. Moments later,

01:05:13the Count makes his way to the guillotine, where Laze is already in position for the fatal blow.

01:05:18However, before proceeding, the noble turns to the gathered citizens and introduces the true

01:05:22heroines of the city area, Stella and Vulcan. With that, he declares the execution of the man

01:05:27who brought this catastrophe upon the people of Gladstone and questions what could have driven him

01:05:31to commit such actions. Laze replies that his actions were driven by a desire for vengeance

01:05:36over his wife's death. In response, Gladstone openly admits that he was the one who killed Alyssa,

01:05:41but claims that revealing this sooner would have jeopardized his plan. The crowd is left in shock

01:05:45upon hearing his confession, and in that moment, the Count realizes he has spoken unnecessarily.

01:05:50Holding a potion in her hand, Arya asks the Count if he knows anything about the women who vanished in

01:05:54the city. Still disoriented, Gladstone immediately confesses everything, admitting that he was the one

01:05:59who eliminated them all. Panicked, the noble demands to know what is happening, to which the

01:06:03elf calmly explains that she had mixed a small amount of truth drop into his tea, compelling him to

01:06:08reveal his crimes before the entire crowd. Furious, the crowd erupts in outrage against their corrupt and

01:06:13criminal leader, especially since the missing women were their own loved ones. Consumed by rage,

01:06:18they take matters into their own hands, ensuring that Gladstone faces justice at their hands.

01:06:23After everything unfolds, Laze expresses his gratitude to the girls, thanking them for all

01:06:27they have done for him. Many days later, after openly confessing his crimes, Gladstone was stripped

01:06:32of his title as Count and sentenced to life in prison, while Laze, having avoided the death penalty,

01:06:37was instead sentenced to incarceration. The following day, as the group of protagonists rode in a

01:06:41carriage. Stella, feeling envious, questioned whether the pixies shouldn't head back to the

01:06:45forest. In response, Lily mentioned that she preferred to remain with the elemental kitten,

01:06:49while Fairy expressed her appreciation for being saved. Shortly after, the two gazed out the carriage

01:06:54window, captivated by the sight of the sea. Meanwhile, Vulcan was thrilled about their approach

01:06:58to Ruin, and Aria gently reminded her pet that they were returning to the place where they had first

01:07:03met. Soon after, they made their way to the guild, where Arnold welcomed them with a bare hug

01:07:07that wrapped around all the newcomers at once. Excited to hear their stories, the receptionist

01:07:11was eager to learn about their experiences in Gladstone. It wasn't just Arnold. Every adventurer

01:07:16in the guild recognized Aria for defeating the S-rank Undead Dragon, granting her the reputation of a

01:07:21heroine. In celebration, Arnold presented Aria with a silver Adventurer's tag. From that moment on,

01:07:26Aria was in a rank, while Stella advanced to B-rank. Although thrilled about her promotion,

01:07:30Aria couldn't help but ask whether Vulcan had been promoted as well. Seeing Vulcan's uneasy

01:07:35expression at the question, Arnold remembered that she had been so attached to her current rank that

01:07:39she had chosen to decline a higher one. Vulcan then confirmed that she felt more comfortable

01:07:43sticking to her life as a blacksmith. A grand celebration commenced as the heroes of Ruin

01:07:48returned home. Moreover, the receptionist informed them that a gift from Gladstone had been delivered

01:07:52to the group, a 10-year supply of canned fruit. While the girls were astonished by the sheer quantity

01:07:57of food, Tama was already picturing the chaos of trying to store all those barrels at home.

01:08:01Aria pointed out that Vulcan had more available space and suggested she keep the barrels. But

01:08:06Vulcan countered, explaining that her storage was already cluttered with equipment and materials

01:08:10she regularly used. Meanwhile, Arnold suggested that it was about time for Aria to move out of

01:08:15her room and establish a place of her own a home to call her own. Given the reward from their

01:08:19last

01:08:19mission, the guild employee was confident that the Adventurer could afford a really nice place.

01:08:23Hearing that, Aria took a sip from her mug and declared that she was excited for her first major

01:08:28investment in life. It was truly the right moment to buy a residence where all their friends could

01:08:32live together happily. Finally, she turned to Tama for his thoughts, and while the cat remained silent,

01:08:37he clearly believed it was a great idea just like all her companions did. The next day, the group headed

01:08:42to a real estate agency in the commercial district called Hand Over Fist, where the attendant inquired

01:08:47about what the ladies were looking for in their new home. Stella simply stated that she wanted to

01:08:51enjoy plenty of meat, prompting the man to suggest that a well-equipped kitchen would be ideal.

01:08:55Lily and Ferry emphasized their wish for an abundance of grass and trees, so he made a note to include

01:09:00a large garden in the search. Aria expressed her desire for a spacious room, which made Tama start

01:09:05worrying about the budget. However, the real estate agent reassured them that he had just the right

01:09:09house at a bargain price. He then took the group to the mentioned location, where a beautiful mansion,

01:09:14secluded from the city, awaited its new residence. Each woman was delighted with her earlier requests

01:09:18Stella with a kitchen, the Ferry's with the yard, and Aria with a room space. However, despite having one

01:09:23of the buyers so far, it was now time for the seller to reveal why he hadn't found any buyers

01:09:28for the

01:09:28house until now. Instead of a common bathroom with a shower stall, this house had an extra-large

01:09:33outdoor bath. Contrary to his expectations, the women simply loved the idea, so Aria closed the deal.

01:09:38By late afternoon, they had completed moving all their belongings into their new home. Lily and Ferry

01:09:43delighted in the softness of the new beds, happily bouncing on them, while Stella boasted about

01:09:47finally getting exactly what she wanted. Watching Stella haul the heaviest items as effortlessly as if

01:09:52they were half-kilo bags of rice, Tama mused that she had been an invaluable help during the move.

01:09:57Ironically, though, her reward for all that effort turned out to be the privilege of petting him.

01:10:01Stella, unbothered by this, treated the poor cat like a plaything, subjecting him to this humiliation

01:10:06as if he were merely a bargaining chip. Meanwhile, Aria watched the scene, finding it bizarre that the

01:10:11two remained silent, as if communicating telepathically. The following day, Vulcan showed up

01:10:15carrying two buckets filled with lobsters, instantly making the ladies' mouths water, especially Stella.

01:10:20Curious, Stella asked what kind of creature it was. Noting how tough it looked to eat,

01:10:24Vulcan explained that they were lobsters from Oval, a prized local delicacy well-known and loved by the

01:10:29city's inhabitants. That evening, during the feast, Stella stayed true to her word devouring meat without

01:10:34holding back, while everyone else also enjoyed the meal to the fullest. Later that night, Vulcan slept

01:10:39bundled up with Aria, with Tama nestled in the middle as always. As usual, the two had peculiar dreams,

01:10:44all somehow revolving around how the elemental cat should be using its tongue. Meanwhile, as much as he would

01:10:49have loved to sleep in that comfort, Tama had work to do. So, he jumped off the bed and reflected

01:10:54on

01:10:54acquiring a new skill after the last battle the elemental explosion. But more importantly,

01:10:58he had gained access to his third form, having sworn the second was the last. As always, he was

01:11:03afraid he wouldn't be able to revert to a cat after evolving, which left him thoughtful, lost in

01:11:08thought. Tama was suddenly startled by Stella, who appeared on the balcony after being awakened by the

01:11:12sound of his voice. He quickly apologized and told her to go back to sleep. But that was the last

01:11:17thing

01:11:17on her mind, sensing that something was troubling him. She insisted she wouldn't rest until she found

01:11:21out what it was. With no way out, Tama admitted that he had unlocked a form even stronger than

01:11:26his second one. Hearing this, Stella went wild with excitement, eager to witness a transformation

01:11:31even more powerful than the one he had used to defeat her in her dragon form. Practically climbing

01:11:35the walls in her frenzy, she charged at the cat, demanding to be impregnated. The following day,

01:11:40as everyone enjoyed another hearty meal, Stella was still pursuing Tama telepathically with her selfish

01:11:45desires. Meanwhile, Lily and Fairy were keen on adding even more plants to the garden,

01:11:49and Aria wholeheartedly agreed. For her homeland, Luminous Village was surrounded by every type of

01:11:54greenery. Therefore, she promised to look for a gardener after lunch. But the fairies insisted on

01:11:58handling the task themselves, so they hurried off to get started. Baffled, Tama had no idea that

01:12:03dryads and fairies possessed such extraordinary abilities. Not long after, Fairy began drumming while

01:12:08chanting about the awakening of Spring's forces. Almost instantly, a tree started sprouting in the

01:12:12backyard, but Vulcan hurried outside in a panic to stop the process. After all, this wasn't just any

01:12:17tree, it was a world tree, a mythical entity whose roots contained extremely rare minerals. With that,

01:12:23she asked Fairy to surround it with normal trees to keep the world tree hidden, as it could attract

01:12:27unwanted attention if seen which would not be positive at all. As if that wasn't enough, Fairy

01:12:31managed to create a light spring in the yard, water known to heal all diseases and wounds. According to

01:12:36Vulcan, this garden was going to be a monstrous task for Aria, left exposed. However, when Lily argued that

01:12:42the spring was great for the skin, Vulcan dropped the issue, thinking it might also be kept a secret,

01:12:46although she admitted having other concerns. Later, inside the house, Vulcan and Aria pointed

01:12:51out that fairies like Lily and Fairy could be targeted and kidnapped simply for possessing the

01:12:55kind of powers they had just displayed. While the fairies were understandably shaken by the thought,

01:13:00what truly puzzled Tama was how Vulcan seemed to know so much about the subject. When it came to rare

01:13:04materials, Vulcan could gain an advantage if she managed to obtain Orichalcum. However, there was a

01:13:09problem. Aria had already mentioned that only artifact blacksmiths were capable of working

01:13:13with this mineral. Tama also recalled that these specialists were an elite few, officially

01:13:18recognized by government authorities for their exceptional talent, having earned the prestigious

01:13:22title. In any case, Tama highly doubted that Vulcan was at that level given how she consistently

01:13:27rejected rank promotions. It was clear she lacked such lofty ambitions. At that moment, Arnold entered the

01:13:32house and apologized for intruding. But it turned out she had brought an urgent mission for the group.

01:13:36For some reason, a powerful monster had appeared on the first floor of the dungeon, and some people

01:13:41had already lost their lives in a confrontation with this creature. Thus, the team affirmed their

01:13:45commitment to investigating the situation including the fairies. But soon, they realized they might just

01:13:50cause problems by exposing themselves in a dungeon and backed out. Seeing the sadness in their eyes,

01:13:55Tama let out a confident meow and stood tall, embracing his role as the team's knight, whose duty was

01:14:00to ensure everyone's safety. As for Aria, while she couldn't quite tell what was going through her

01:14:04cat's mind, she quickly figured out that he wanted everyone to take part in this mission.

01:14:08With that settled, they all set off for the dungeon, where the fairies officially joined

01:14:12the team, even receiving protective equipment from Vulcan. At the entrance, they encountered an

01:14:16E-rank goblin and a D-rank hobgoblin, with a stronger creature not usually appearing on the

01:14:21first floor. The fairies hurried to show their worth, and Lily started the conflict with a fairy

01:14:25bullet, turning herself into a projectile that pierced the goblin's head, ending him. Then it was

01:14:30fairies' turn, who summoned a branch whip and struck the hobgoblin squarely, impressing her companions.

01:14:34At the same time, Tama noted that the fairies possessed excellent mid-range attacks, making them

01:14:39a valuable asset to the group's tactics. Despite their effortless victory, a distant roar echoed

01:14:44from the depths of the dungeon. Vulcan suspected it was a minotaur, though Aria found it unlikely that

01:14:48a C-rank monster would appear on such a low-level floor. Surprisingly, Stella interpreted the roar as one

01:14:54filled with despair. Deep within the labyrinth, and a rank troll was feasting on the creatures it had slain

01:14:59along its path, including the very minotaur the group had assumed would be their opponent. As they

01:15:03advanced undetected, they soon uncovered the source of that terrified scream. Amid this, Aria asked

01:15:08them to stay back as she wanted to test how much she had evolved since their last battles. Lily and

01:15:13Fairy moved forward to set up an ambush, and Lily began with a fairy bullet, but the projectile failed

01:15:18to penetrate the troll's tough skin. Similarly, Fairy repeated the branch whip and even opened a wound on

01:15:22the monster, but it regenerated instantly and noticed the attackers quickly. The giant swung its club,

01:15:27but Stella rushed in, blocking the impact with her shield. At the same time, Vulcan slammed her

01:15:32hammer against the troll's foot, sending a wave of pain through its body. Aria then used her

01:15:37acceleration to close the distance, landing multiple precise cuts on the target. Seizing the opportunity,

01:15:42Stella directed Lily to aim for the enemy's eye, and the fairy did exactly that. Successfully breaking

01:15:46its guard, Stella quickly lunged forward, driving her sword deep into the troll's chest. But despite the

01:15:51severe wound, the creature refused to fall. Noticing that their opponent was on the verge of defeat,

01:15:56Vulcan urged Aria to deliver the final blow. Without hesitation, Aria unleashed a holy blade

01:16:01combined with triple strike, cutting down the foe for good. With the battle won, Stella who had

01:16:05always preferred to act alone admitted that teamwork was actually quite enjoyable. Meanwhile, Aria

01:16:10declared that it was time to head back and report everything to Arnold. Meanwhile, in Clariel,

01:16:14the royal capital, a kingdom scout rushed to inform the king that their greatest fear had come true

01:16:19monsters across the land were becoming more agitated, as if drawn by demons, and there was no time to

01:16:24lose in addressing the looming threat. At that very moment, an elf who bore an uncanny resemblance to

01:16:29Aria told a soldier in the capital that the time had finally come.
