There’s something that’s been bugging me. It’s about Mister Yusuke and Mister Minerva. I feel like those two have been acting weird as of late. It’s like they’ve gotten closer than before... There are even times when they give off the vibe that they’re flirting.
I think things started feeling weird the day after the after-party. Surely Mister Minerva wouldn’t have seduced Mister Yusuke while he was drunk?! Mira got a little mad at me, saying that there’s no way that could be true, but I can’t shake off my suspicions. Those two...have got something funny going on.

Mira and I have been sort of like apprentices in our superiors’ team up until now, but we’ve finally decided to go independent. We’re going to patrol the dungeon by ourselves starting tomorrow. I do feel anxious of course, but I also have high hopes. At the end of the day, we’ll see huge boosts in our incomes. It’ll be easier to get by, and I can even put aside some money as savings. I could buy a new weapon for my Mobile Force if that happened.
I wanted to order a battle-ax from old man Sanaga for Zako, but the quote he gave me was 2,500 rims. Why the hell is it worth over three times more than Zako’s original price?! Still, I do want it...
But this is the last day I’ll ever have to worry about these things! I’ll be stacking coins like there’s no tomorrow and buying whatever I want. Mira and I plan to stop by Mister Yusuke’s shop a little early tomorrow and carefully select some of his goods. Dagashi-ya Yahagi is a reassuring pillar of support for novice adventurers like us.
Candy, gum, Rocket Bombs, Morocco Yogurt, and Cocoa Cigars... What else do I need? I should use at least 1,000 rims, just to be safe.
Oh yeah, Garmr and the others are so brazen that they’re going to go independent too. We need to section off our separate turfs so they can’t take our spoils... But will they quietly stand down and abide by that? I did thoroughly beat Garmr’s Gugurecas with my Zako yesterday. Oh man, it was my low kick and upper kick combos that beautifully did him in. It felt so good!
That was my fourth victory against Garmr, and I’ve lost once. Against Mira, I’ve won seven times and lost twice. Everything’s going great! Even Rigal, who finally got his Gungalf, looks at me with admiration in his eyes. He’s earnest and cute, so if I find the opportunity, perhaps I’ll teach him how I puppet my Mobile Force? Oh, I’m such a nice older sister figure. What if he falls in love with me...? As if!
Mira and I are going to hunt near Hot Spring Yahagi until we get used to being on our own. It’s a safe zone where monsters don’t show up, and Mister Yusuke will be there if something happens. He isn’t reliable in battle, but it is a relief just to know Dagashi-ya Yahagi is nearby.
