-No One's P.O.V-

At the dungeon cell, we see the King of the Royal Capital sitting on his throne until the sound of chains can be heard that are dragging on the floor.

???: What's wrong with using criminals?! You are all fools who hinder the progress of science! I will be sure to settle this score!

The blonde-haired man said while the king remains stoic at the blonde-haired man's words.

???: No matter how many years it may take!

The blonde-haired man declares until the sound of an axe can be heard in the back.

-At the Present Day-

Back to the second Foschurose's mansion until we hear...

Yuna: Finished!

Everyone's eyes widened at what they were seeing while (Y/N) and Gura were smiling at their accomplishment.

Fina: What is this?!

Noa: How do we eat this?!

(Y/N): To put it simply, you use your hands to pick it up and eat it to your heart's delight. Just like we eat the hamburger from yesterday's dinner.

Gura: But be careful though, it's freaking' hot!

Shia and the kids were fully delighted of eating the pizza that was made by you, Yuna, and Gura. That is when Ellalaura comes in to join the group.

Ellalaura: Oh my. So this is where everyone is. *Looks at the Pizza* What is that?

Noa: Mother, this is "Pisa"! Miss Yuna, Mister (Y/N), and Miss Gura made it for us!

Shia: No, Noa. It is "Visa".

Yuna: (A leaning tower and a credit card...)

Gura: *Sweatdrops* Uh no, it's actually called "Pizza".

Ellalaura: Pizza? Oh yes, the food that you three spoke of yesterday...May I have some as well?

(Y/N): You can.

Ellalaura: Then, without reserve...

Ellalaura takes one pizza slice and bites it until she makes a delightful face.

Ellalaura: Oh, it's delicious! That pudding, too. Yuna, (Y/N), and Gura, I really think you three should open a shop.

Gura: H-Hang on now, the three of us needed a lot of time to think, but we're not that really good at opening one.

Yuna: Ehehe...Gura's right though...

(Y/N): I agree with the two. Not that we wanted to open it or anything.

Noa: Miss Yuna, Miss Gura, Mister (Y/N), may I have a bit of your time? I would like to go out with Fina for the day tomorrow. May I?

Fina: Huh? With me?

Noa:*Nods* Yes! I cannot do this errand without you, Fina. I wish to go out with Misa and Fina, just the three of us.

You, Gura, and Yuna glanced at each other until you spoke up.

(Y/N): Well, if the kids say they're okay with it. I'm cool with it.

Gura: I agree, as long as they don't get themselves in trouble.

Yuna: Guess it's settled then. We have no complaints, but what kind of errand?

Noa: *Smiles* That's a secret!

Misa: I cannot wait to go out with just the three of us.

Yuna: Whatever. Since Shia has to go to the academy, I guess me, Gura, and (Y/N) have to do our own thing tomorrow.

Ellalaura: Then why don't you come and observe the castle, you three?

(Y/N): Huh?

-Mini Time Skip-

Upon arriving at the castle where Ellalaura led three to the location, Gura, Yuna, and you were amazed at the castle's design.

Yuna: Whoa! A towering castle. It gives off a real fantasy-like vibe!

Ellalaura: Fantasy?

(Y/N): Oh uh, forget what Yuna said. Just some weird stuff that comes out of her mouth.

Gura: But more importantly though, are we allowed to be entered here? I mean, with our current outfits, it makes us look like an outsider.

Ellalaura: *Nods* Yes, since you three are with me.

Guard 1: Excuse me, Lady Ellalaura. Who may that, um, they be? There's...a bear...a wolf...and a shark?

Ellalaura: They're my guests. I wished to show them around the castle. Is there a problem?

Ellalaura's question made the guards shaken up and said...

Guard 1 & 2: N-No...Not at all! Please enter!

Yuna: I-Is this really okay?

Ellalaura: Yes.

Upon entering the castle, Gura, Yuna, and you noticed that the maids were all muttering to each other or themselves upon seeing you three in your dressed attires until you being to speak up.

(Y/N): Ellalaura, what do you usually do in this castle these days?

Ellalaura: What I do? I just do odds and ends.

Gura: What does that mean?

Ellalaura: I give out orders to the commander of the knights, take care of documents, and sometimes give His Majesty advice. Various things. I want to quit and go live with Cliff, but His Majesty and the prime ministers won't let me.

Yuna: *Sweatdrops* (Maybe Miss Ellalaura is actually in a really high position?)

That is when all of you hear a little girl's voice behind you all and she said...

???: Cute animals...~!

The little girl with pink hair hugs Yuna from behind.

Yuna: Whoa!

(Y/N): Oh? Who's this, kid?

Ellalaura: *Leans down* Lady Flora. Why have you come here?

Flora: Everyone in the castle said there was a bear, a wolf, and a shark, so I was looking for them. Miss Bear, Miss Shark, and Mister Wolf, why are you three in the castle?

Yuna: (Lady Flora?)

Ellalaura: These three? They're touring in the castle.

Flora: Is that so? Then, I'll show them around the castle~!

Ellalaura: (Y/N), Yuna, Gura, you three wouldn't turn down an offer from the princess, would you?

Yuna: Huh?! This little girl is a princess?!

Gura: I mean, it does come off surprising if a little girl lives inside a mansion with formal names on it.

Yuna: Yeah, but we can't make a princes show us around the castle!

(Y/N): I do agree, but I think we should take the best approach of touring around the castle. And besides...*Kneels down to Flora's level* I'm sure this little girl knows her way around since she's a princess who was raised here, yes?

Ellalaura: *Nods* That is indeed correct.

You and Gura looked at Yuna for approval until she let out a sigh and said...

Yuna: Okay, okay, I will do it!

-Mini Time Skip-

Time would pass shortly. Flora and Ellalaura took you, Gura, and Yuna for a tour around the castle along with Ellalaura. Yuna feeds Flora with the pudding, Gura plays childish games, and you give Flora a shoulder ride.

And now, everyone arrived inside Flora's room and all of you watched to see Yuna making drawings along with Flora.

Flora: The picture book Miss Bear drew is so cute~!

Gura: I didn't know you could draw, Yuna.

Yuna: I dabbled in some drawing in the past. (I drew manga as a hobby...)

Flora: Thank you, Miss Bear. I'll treasure it!

Yuna: Yeah, that'd make me happy, too.

Ellalaura: Lady Flora, I'll have it bound properly into a book later.

Flora: *Nods* Yeah~!

(Y/N): (Hmm...I wonder how Fina and the kids are up to?)

-With Fina, Noa, and Misa-

Back to the three little girls, they were walking around in the market area.

Fina: It's so crowded.

Noa: There are always a lot of people in this area. More so since His Majesty's birthday celebration is right around the corner.

Misa: Sister Noa, where do you plan to go today?

Noa: That will be a surprise. It should have turned out quite wonderful!

Fina: Wonderful?

That is when Fina bumps into someone

Stranger: Oops, sorry.

Fina: No. I am very sorry as well.

The stranger then walks past Fina until Noa and Misa walked up to Fina out of concern.

Noa: Are you alright?

Fina: *Holds her head* Yes. I just bumped into him a bit. My apologies.

That is when Noa gently grabbed Misa and Fina's wrists.

Fina: Lady Noir?

Noa: It wouldn't be good to get separated. Misa, too.

Misa: Yes.

Noa: And please call me Noa instead of Noir. Everyone I am close to calls me that.

Fina: *Steps back* S-Someone like me being close to you? I wouldn't dare!

Noa: We are all animal rivals. No, animal friends! Is that not so?

Fina: Animal friends?

Misa: Oh, then please call me Misa.

Fina: Um, Lady Noir. Lady Misa-na.

Misa & Noa: No!

Noa: Noa!

Misa: Misa!

Fina: *Taken aback* Lady Noa and Lady Misa.

Noa: Yes! Please take care of me from now on, Fina.

Misa: Fina, please take care of me as well.

Minutes would pass until the three girls arrived at a building...

Post Lady: Oh, Lady Noir. Welcome.

Noa: Have you finished my order?

Post Lady: Yes, of course. *Picks up a box* Please look.

The Post Lady opens the box, revealing cute cards with the icons of a bear, a shark, and a wolf around the cards.

Noa: Thank you very much. It is just as I requested.

Misa: What are these? *Looks at the cards* Untamed Three Fan Club?

Noa: Correct! These are member cards!

Fina: *Curious* Wh-When was it decided we were making a fan club?

Noa: Here. *Hands Fina a member card*

Fina: Ah! *Takes the member card*

Noa: As the president, I am number one. Vice President Fina is number two. And Misa is number three.

Fina: I'm the vice president?! Shouldn't Lady Misa...

Noa: Misa has only recently met Miss Yuna, Miss Gura, and Mister (Y/N). You have known those three for much longer.

Misa: Yes. And you are the closest to Sisters Yuna and Gura along with Big Brother (Y/N) as well.

Noa: The members of the fan club must share information.

Fina: Share?

Noa: Yes! We are animal friends with the combination of a bear, a wolf, and a shark~! We must share what we see and hear of Miss Yuna, Kumayuru, Kumakyu, Mister (Y/N), Alphax, and Miss Gura! We will become animal experts!

Misa: How wonderful!

Noa and Misa turned their heads at each other and nodded in agreement.

Fina: U-Um, I understand.

Noa: Both of you, this fan club is a secret from Miss Yuna, Miss Gura, and Mister (Y/N).

Misa: Of course!

Fina: By the way, this card number has four zeroes before the number...

Noa: *Points at Fina* Our goal is 10,000 members!

Fina: Huh? Whaaat?!?!

-Time Skip to Sunset-

After a few hours of spending time with Flora and Ellalaura in the castle...(Y/N), Gura, and Yuna were heading back to Ellalaura's mansion...

Yuna: Man, sure was tiring...the princess really made me nervous...

Gura: At least you managed with the princess, Yuna.

Yuna: Thanks...

That is when you were met with a wooden blade that is near your face which surprised you along with Gura and Yuna. It was none other than Shia herself who was holding the wooden sword.

Shia: Ah, welcome back, you three.

(Y/N): Uh...we're home. I see that you have been training.

Shia: *Nods* Yes. I must become stronger and shorten the gap with you guys. *Glances at (Y/N)* Well, most likely with Mister (Y/N), that is.

(Y/N): Uh, no need to call me "Mister" and I'm not that old. Plus, we're in the same age.

Shia: *Nods* Right. 

Yuna: Well, if you need someone to spar, you can ask either three of us.

Shia: Thank you very much. Please take care of me when the time comes! *Swings her sword* Ha!

...

Next, the three of you were opening a door due to hearing Fina, Noa, and Misa's voices.

Gura: We're...home?

In front of you three, you see Fina, Noa, and Misa having a little group meeting with each other.

Noa: Now then. Let us being our first informational animal meeting.

Misa: Miss Yuna, Miss Gura, and Mister (Y/N) are honorary chairmen and members number zero, correct?

Noa: *Raises her hand* Yes. Fina, do you have any good ideas that are fitting as an article?

Fina: U-Um...

(Y/N): *In Obi-Wan Kenobi voice* Hello there~!

This startled the girls as they all turned to see you, Yuna, and Gura at the do.

Yuna: What are you guys doing?

Noa quickly grabs the papers on the table before they would laugh nervously.

Noa: Nothing at all!

(Y/N): (As if it was nothing, but I'm not gonna pry into it.)

Fina: Yes, yes, yes!

-Back outside the Royal Capital's walls-

We then see the mysterious hooded figure with blonde hair who is laughing to himself as he approaches the royal capital while monsters were rallying up behind him.

Fina: Yuna Sis, what are you here to buy today?

Yuna: Things that would make good pizza toppings.

That is when you hear people speaking to each other from your right...

(Y/N): Wait, you two. Listen.

The Girls: Hm?

Male Citizen 1: I heard another one got injured. 

Male Citizen 2: Yeah, in the northern forest...

Male Citizen 3: Those monsters won't come to the royal capital, will they?

Gura: What are those guys talking about?

Yuna: Who knows? Doesn't sound like something good though...

That is when an old lady wearing a dark hoodie spoke up.

Old Lady: A merchant was attacked in the northern forest. Incidents like that have been on the rise. *Sigh*

(Y/N): (Monsters attacking the Royal Capital, huh? Not sure if it's a coincidence, but we were attacked on the way, too.)

Noa: The northern forest...

Fina: What is it, Lady Noa?

Noa: Father is supposed to arrive in the royal capital today. He should be going through that forest on the way...*Concern* Will he be alright?

Gura: Cliff's coming? Do you want us to go and get him?

Noa: Is that alright?

(Y/N): Of course. You have a bear, a wolf, and a shark to have on land to protect people, *Looks over to Yuna and Gura* isn't it, you two?

Gura & Yuna: *Nods* That's right.

Fina: Alright, be careful, you three.

(Y/N): You'll have our word. Come on, you two.

And just like that, you, Gura, and Fina went to the northern forest.

-Back at the Castle-

We change the scene and we see Ellalaura walking through the castle's corridors until she knocked on a certain door.

Ellalaura: Your Majesty, excuse me.

King: *Lifts his head up* Ellalaura. Has something happened?

Ellalaura: Another person has been attacked by monsters in the northern forest. There have been too many cases as of late. I believe we should inspect the forest as soon as possible.

King: I agree...

That is when they hear the guards yelling out behind the door...

Guard 1: You bastard!

Guard 2: Who are you?!

Behind the doors, the guards encounter the familiar man wearing a hoodie and his body almost looks transparent like a ghost.

Guard 3: Who are you?!

Guard 4: Stop!

The man in the hoodie gently swipes his left arm to knock down the guards.

Hooded Man: I have no business with you all. 

The hooded man opens the double doors and enters inside as he begins speaking up to the King.

Hooded Man: It has been a long time, Your Majesty.

King: Bastard, who are you?!

Ghoulzam: Have you forgotten? I am Ghoulzam. I was exiled from this royal capital once.

King: Ghoulzam...I see, it's you...

Ghoulzam: I thought all the monster attacks near the royal capital would reach you by now...

King: What are you trying to say?

Ghoulzam: I gathered those monsters to get my revenge on you. A large army of them are under my control with magic. About 10,000 of them.

Both the King and Ellalaura were frightened of what they just heard.

Ghoulzam: I can have them attack the royal capital at any time.

King: You bastard!

Ghoulzam: Yes! That is the face I wanted to see! Anger! Weariness! Despair! But it isn't enough! I can't wait to see all the expressions you will show me...

Ghoulzam then disappears into dust and he was no longer in the room with them.

Ellalaura: (Was that an illusion? If so, it was one using a very high level of magic...)

Ellalaura thought to herself as she looks at the King who lets out a sigh.

Ellalaura: Your Majesty, who is Ghoulzam?

King: He was a royal magician that sacrificed criminals for his research. He was severely punished and exiled from the royal capital. Ellalaura, contact the master of the adventurer's guild, Sanya.

Ellalaura: Understood.

-Back to (Y/N), Yuna, and Gura-

Right now, we see Yuna riding on top of Kumayuru while you and Gura were riding on top of Alphax.

That is when Gawr Gura begins to sing a song on the way...

Gura:

https://youtu.be/Gkj5J_chrGs

Yuna: *Lighthearted Chuckle* Hahaha, I've heard that song before~!

Gura: *Grins* Ooh, someone's got good taste in music!

(Y/N): *Sniffing in the air* Oh shit. Hold up, everybody. I smell monsters coming from the north. There are ogres, orcs, wolves, and such...

Yuna: Yeah, there's a lot of them.

Yuna says, using her own bear detection skill, and sees many numbers of the monsters.

Yuna: Whoa, they're crawling around everywhere. There are this many?

Gura: I mean, there's only three of us, so we're OP to take them down.

Yuna: Eh, I guess you're right. Kumayuru, you'll withdraw.

Yuna then gets off Kumayuru and used her magic to withdraw it back to her black bear glove. You, on the other hand, did the same with Alphax as she dissipated into the light with just the snap of your fingers.

Yuna: Alright. Let's go, you two.

(Y/N) & Gura: *Nods* Yeah!

Unknown to our three friends, someone sent an eagle with a green aura from the Royal Capital.

-Back at the Royal Capital-

From the Royal Capital, we see a woman with elven ears, long lime hair, and magenta-colored eyes.

This elven woman is none other than Sanya from the guild's headquarters and the King had requested her help.

Sanya: I have reached the skies of the forest.

Ellalaura: Thank you, Miss Sanya.

Sanya: It is nothing. I will now estimate the size of the monster army as well as Ghoulzam's whereabouts. *Senses something* Oh?

King: What is it?

Sanya: Something is running into the forest at incredible speed. No, not just one, there are also two people included as well.

King: What?

Ellaluara: What in the world is it?

Sanya: Monsters? No, it's a bear...but it is accompanied by a wolf and...a shark?

From Sanya's point of view from the Eagle that she summoned, she witnesses Gura, Yuna, and you take down every monster in sight with your powers and abilities.

Sanya: The bear, shark, and wolf is defeating the monsters one after another!

King: Wh-What? A bear? Shark? And a Wolf? What are you talking about?

Ellalaura: (A Bear...Shark...Wolf?) *Realizes* No way!

Sanya: This is bad.

King: *Stands up* What now?!

Sanya: The wolf is surrounded by many orcs. And there are wyverns above the bear and the shark!

King: Wyverns?! *Sat down in shock* Ghoulzam has control of such powerful monsters?!

Sanya would look at Gura and Yuna. Yuna uses her "Bear Fire" skill to fire multiple bear-shaped fireballs to take down the Wyverns above them until Sanya sees Gura raising her Trident in the air and yells out...

Gura: Lightning Smite!

Gura manipulates the thunder as she aims toward the Wyverns above her and Yuna. The lightning bolts strike toward the Wyverns and were blown into pieces along with Yuna's "Bear Fire" skill as a combination skill.

Sanya: Oh my goodness, the bear fired out multiple fireballs while the shark summoned lightning bolts and destroyed the Wyverns!

King: A bear firing out fireballs?! A shark summoned lightning bolts?!

Sanya then looks over to (Y/N) as he makes a grin until his (E/C) eyes turned into red-glowing eyes and begin to use the calming, yet sinister whistle that cannot be heard which only targets specific individuals or groups that can be heard, but some do not.

https://youtu.be/dVbyQkn6GWg

The whistle made all of the Orcs surrounding you feel fear and intimidation coming from you

You then pulled out your own two sickles and begin to approach the Orcs with a menacing approach.

The Orcs try to run away from you out of fear, but in a blink of an eye, you swiftly took them down with your pair of sickles at the end.

Sanya also happened to witness this as well and felt goosebumps.

Sanya: Goodness...the wolf took down those Orcs...and his whistle...it felt like death is coming to them.

King: Death? Whistle?

Sanya: *Nods* Yes. And now...the bear...the shark...and the wolf... all defeated the Orcs and Wyverns that attacked them.

King: What in the world is with these creatures?!

Ellalaura, on the other hand, was thinking to herself.

Ellalaura: ("Do not make them your enemy." Next was, "Don't anger Yuna.") So this is what you meant, Cliff...

King: I do not quite understand, but these animals...the bear, shark, and the wolf...seems to be taking care of the monsters.

Sanya: I do not know the aim of these animals, but that seems to be the case. *Sees something* Huh?

King: What is it?

Sanya: A man has appeared among the monsters. The royal crest is on his robe...

King: Ghoulzam!

-Back to Yuna, Gura, and (Y/N)-

Ghoulzam: Who in the world are you three?!

Gura: *In a cowgirl accent* Just three animals passin' by, feller.

(Y/N): I'm a wolf, the girl on my right is a bear, and the girl on my left is a shark.

Yuna: Yup. But anyway, who are you?

Ghoulzam: A bear? Wolf? Shark? What kind of nonsense are you spouting? *Points* You bastards! You three must have been sent by the king!

(Y/N)/Gura/Yuna: King?/Who?/Huh?

Ghoulzam: The monsters I spent so many years gathering and preparing! By some kids dressing such a facetious way!

Gura: Whoa, man. You don't have a sense of taste in fashion. We may dress ridiculously like idiots, but you can't underestimate this clothing of ours.

That is when Ghoulzam starts coughing, kneels on the ground, and spew out blood that disgusted you, Gura, and Yuna.

(Y/N): *Concern* Whoa, you good? Did you forget to take your prescription?

-At the Royal Capital-

Sanya: The magic used to control monsters is forbidden magic that uses one's own life. It seems his life is almost at its end.

King: He sacrificed his own life for revenge.

Sanya continues to observe the battle from the eagle that she summoned. 

She then sees Ghoulzam getting back up and panting until Gura, Yuna, and you see a worm with an opened large mouth that has the same size as the black viper.

Sanya: A worth with an unbelievable size?! Ghoulzam even has control of something like that?

The King was shaken in fear until Sanya continues to report everything she sees.

Sanya: Ghoulzam and the worm are attacking the three animals!

-Back at the Forest-

Ghoulzam then begins to command his worm monster and yelled out "Die!" towards you, Yuna, and Gura.

Yuna: *Deadpanned Face* (Oh, another one of those kinds of enemies.)

(Y/N): Stay back, you two.

Yuna and Gura were confused until you crossed your arms and yelled out...

(Y/N): Wolven Befall!

The skies glow brown for a moment until everyone looked up to see a huge head of a wolf with flames emitting around its neck like a Hellhound. The wolf howls before it crashes toward the giant worm monster, creating a large explosion. Once the explosion was gone, the giant worm monster was no longer there.

Gura: *Awed* Holy shit...!

Yuna: *Sweatdrops* I won't lie. Seeing you sending down a wolf's head to destroy the worm for us is a little weird.

(Y/N): *Nonchalant* Yes, yes. I get it.

Ghoulzam stood there with his face that is filled with shock like...

Ghoulzam: Eh...?

Yuna: Bear Punch!

Yuna takes over as he gives the vibe check bear punch at Ghoulzam and knocked him down.

Gura: Nice work!

Yuna: Well, it was easy for us.

(Y/N): Yuna, we forgot to ask this guy's name.

Yuna: *Realizes* Oh...too late for that.

-Back at the Royal Capital-

Sanya: Oh my...The wolf...summoned a wolf's head from the sky as if it was some sort of a meteorite!

King: *Baffled* A wolf summoning...a wolf meteorite?

Sanya: Yes. The wolf defeated the worm with a wolf meteorite and the bear punched Ghoulzam. Those three had won the fight...

King: What in the world is with those three animals?

Ellalaura: Your Majesty. I have an idea of who those three animals are...

-Back at the Forest

In the forest, we see Cliff and his men riding on their horses and seeing all of the dead monsters on the road.

Cliff: Wh-What in the is going on?

Gura: Well if it isn't saucy Cliff~!

Cliff turns to see you, Yuna, and Gura jumping off the ledge and approaching Cliff Foschurose.

Yuna: Perfect timing! We were coming to pick you up.

Cliff: Huh?

(Y/N): I'll explain everything.

-Mini Time Skip-

(Y/N): *In MoistCr1TiKal voice* So yeah. That...that's about it.

Cliff: I see. I understand the situation. Thanks for coming to pick me up, you three. I would have been killed by these monsters if you didn't come. But what are you three going to do about all of this? I do not know who this man is, but you three defeated so many monsters. This'll cause chaos in the royal capital.

Yuna: *Nervous* I don't want that. I don't want to stand out...(Y/N), help us out here, please?

Yuna pleaded until you let out a sigh and think for a moment until you spoke up.

(Y/N): Yuna, you can hide these monsters from your item bag so we can't afford more dead bodies of monsters around the area.

Yuna: *Nods* Yeah, I know.

(Y/N): However, during our fight with that hooded guy. Yuna, Gura, and I heard that he said that we were sent by the King, *Looks over to Gura and Yuna* isn't it right, you two?

Gura: *Realizes* Oh yeah, he did say that we were sent out by the king, but we haven't even met the King once.

Yuna: *Nods* Definitely

(Y/N): Also, I can assume that this guy and the King from the royal capital had some business in the past before we came around. Revenge is possible though since I felt resentment coming from this guy. *Looks at Ghoulzam's unconscious body* Therefore, my decision is that we need to take this guy from the Royal Capital and turn him in. Plus, we need to discuss with the King why this guy is out here for revenge on the Royal Capital.

Yuna: Eh?! Can't we just like tell the King that Cliff found this guy on the road so we can't be mentioned?

Gura: *Deadpanned face* That's just literally avoiding responsibility, Yuna.

(Y/N): Gura's not wrong. Even if we did lie, the truth will come out eventually without any plan we take. So, we have no choice but to take responsibility.

Yuna: *Exasperated sigh* Okay, okay...

Cliff giggled at your interactions.

Gura: What's so funny?

Cliff: Ah, nothing. It's just that seeing you three reminds me of my younger days.

(Y/N): *Smiles* I'm sure they're great.

-Time Skip to Sunset-

Yuna: Whew..that took a while to get those bodies away...

Cliff: So it seems.

That is when all of you hear a familiar voice which is none other than Ellaura herself.

Ellalaura: You're back!

Cliff: *Reaches hands out for a hug* You've come to welcome me, Ellalaura!

However, Ellalaura ignores Cliff which confuses him, and just went to reach out to you, Yuna, and Gura.

Ellalaura: Yuna, (Y/N), Gura, come with me immediately!

Yuna: Huh? What? To where?

(Y/N): Let me guess...is it the King?

Ellalaura: *Nods with a serious face* Yes.

You, Gura, Cliff, and Yuna looked at each other with tense expressions.
Ellalaura then looks at the unconscious body of Ghoulzam who is carried by Kumayuru.

Ellalaura: It really is Ghoulzam. *Turns to Yuna, Gura, (Y/N)* You three saved the royal capital.

Gura: Huh? How do you know that?

Ellaura: Just head to the castle. You'll know the answers once we get there.

-Mini Time Skip-

Not long after, You, Gura, Cliff, and Yuna followed Ellalaura back to the castle to meet the King...

Guard 1: Cliff Foschurose, Lady Ellalaura, and the adventures of Miss Yuna, Miss Gura, and Mister (Y/N) have arrived!

The guard says as the doors in front of you five had opened until everyone approached the King who is sitting on his throne along with Sanya.

Ellalaura: *Steps upfront* Your Majesty, I have brought the three animal adventurers. Yuna is the bear. Gura is the shark. And (Y/N) (L/N) is the wolf.

Yuna had an annoyed face, Gura seemed a bit nervous, and you had a serious expression.

King: A bear...wolf...and a shark. I see, a bear girl, a wolf boy, and a shark girl. However, did these children like these really defeat Ghoulzam and all those monsters?

Yuna: *Looks away nervously* No, I think a different strong-

(Y/N): *Interrupts Yuna* Yes, that's us, Your Majesty. We took down those monsters.

Gura: *Nods* That's right.

King: *Looks over to Sanya* Sanya?

Sanya: *Nods* Correct. These children are definitely the ones who fought Ghoulzam in the forest.

Ellalaura: (Y/N) and Yuna have also defeated a goblin king and black viper in Crimonia. Isn't that right, Cliff?

Cliff: Huh? Well...

Cliff looks over to you as you gave him a nod as if to say..."Tell them the truth."

Cliff: It is as she says, Your Majesty. I have confirmed Ghoulzam and the monsters Yuna, Gura, and (Y/N) defeated with my own eyes.

King: I see. My thanks.*Looks to Gura* And what of you, little Gura? Have you achieved anything with Yuna and (Y/N)?

Gura: Um...my apologies, Your Highness. I arrived a couple of days ago in Crimonia just to have adventures with my friend, (Y/N), and meet Yuna. So...defeating the monsters in the forest outside of the Royal Capital is my first achievement. The black viper and the goblin king are dealt with by Yuna and (Y/N) after he explained to me on the way when I got to Crimonia.

King: *Nods* I see. Anyways, I must thank you three for saving the people, soldiers, and adventurers of the royal capital.

The King bows his head as if to show respect and gratitude.

Yuna: Huh? A king is bowing his head?

King: As the representative of the steeple, I thanked the three adventurers who saved us. It is to be expected.

You and Gura smiled while Yuna is in her thoughts and amazed that she was respected with gratitude and thinks of what you said about that not all nobles are bad which made her smile.

King: I will announce your deeds to the people and prepare a fitting reward.

Yuna: *Panics* Eh!? Announce?! (Y/N), you should do the talking here!

(Y/N): Ehehe...my apologies for my friend's behavior. I understand the reward and the announcement as a sign of gratitude, but we don't need it because we only helped to defeat those monsters due to Cliff Foschurose's daughter, Noa, or should I say...Lady Noir, worried for her father's safety on our way to pick him up.

Both Cliff and Ellalaura Foschurose were surprised by what they just heard.

Cliff: What?

Ellalaura: Our daughter is worried for Cliff?

Gura: *Nods* That's right. Lady Noir told us that since morning, so yeah, we just wanted to help.

King: In other words, you defeated that many monsters...merely because Cliff's daughter was worried?

Yuna: I mean...yeah...but as Gura said, we just wanted help, that's all.

Cliff and Ellalaura smiled in gratitude while the King nodded in acknowledgment.

-Mini Time Skip-

After settling things with the King, everyone returned back to Ellalaura's home.

Noa: Father! Welcome home! *Hugs Cliff*

Cliff: *Returns the Hug* Yes. I'm home, Noa!

Fina: *Runs up to (Y/N), Gura, and Yuna* Welcome home, you three!

(Y/N): *Nods* Yep, we're freaking back.

Fina: How was the rescue?

Yuna: Everything was fine, Fina!

Fina: Yes, thank goodness!

Yuna then patted Fina's head as she shows a smile on her face. You and Gura stood between Yuna and smiled at the wholesome return.
