Femicia lives with her loving family. She's about to turn five—the age at which everyone receives a magical skill. No one knows what skill they will receive. That is left to the will of the gods. Femicia wants to be a tamer and work with monsters, but...

When Ivy goes into the village to sell her catch, everyone is really nice to her which makes her nervous. Later, she chances upon a peddler selling zaro, a specialty of Latomi Village. When she asks how the village is faring, the answer surprises her.

Ivy's delicious cooking has made her very popular. The suppression squad feasts after a job well done and the next day, they set out for Otolwa with Ivy. She's deeply impressed by her first sight of a big town, but it hides a serious problem.

Ivy is given a summary of the effects of their recent endeavors, which have shaken the whole kingdom. The Watch and the adventurers gather to celebrate their victory. During the feast, Blazing Sword and Lightning King have one last proposal for Ivy.
