Aya''s POV

    The maid with blond hair bends down and softly says.

    -Miss Miya, please wait for us. We need to handle something first. (002)

    -Uhm. (Aya)

    I restlessly turn my eyes away from her and look at the place where the teddy bear exploded.

    -That girl... (Aya)

    I am so anxious about the current situation.

    -Where did Mia take Kohaku to? (Aya)

    I don''t really care about Mia''s situation since I know she is strong. I turn to the blond maid and ask her.

    -Did you guys find any trace of that girl? (Aya)

    The maid scratches her face answerers with an awkward smile.

    -I try searching for that girl''s movement. But sadly, we couldn''t detect any trace of her. (002)

    The maid touches a watch in her hand and lets a small 3D map pop up.

    -Even the tracking device that the head maid secretly puts on her body is destroyed. (002)

    She turns off the watch and shakes her head.

    -So It''s impossible for me to catch that girl. (002)

    -Is...that so? (Aya)

    The current situation is really troublesome. How can I face Farah when she comes back now? I can''t even protect Kohaku.

    -Hah! (Aya)

    At the same time, two maids arrive behind the blond maid and inform her.

    -We have brought the device you requested. (Maid)

    -That''s good. (002)

    The blond maid turns to me and asks me.

    -Miss Aya, we need to check up on you a little. Please stand still for a while. (002)

    -Uhm... (Aya)

    The maid starts setting up something on the ground surrounding me.

    -Hmmm? What is this? (Aya)

    -Start. (002)

    With the blond maid order, thin metal walls come up from the ground and surround me.

    -Eh? (Aya)

    Something like lasers suddenly comes out from the wall and scans me from head to toe.

    -Don''t worry, miss Aya. We only need to check up on your body. (002)

    I can hear the voice of another maid reporting to the blond maid.

    -I can find any abnormality inside miss Aya''s body. (Maid)

    -Hmmm...How is it possible? Please check her body again. (002)

    -Yes! (Maid)

    As the blond maid''s command, the wall scans my body once again.

    -Did you find anything else? (002)

    -The result is still the same. (Aya)

    I can hear the blond maid sigh from outside.

    -This time, you scan the energy inside her body for me. (002)

    -Yes! (Maid)

    I wait patiently inside the metal walls for my result.

    -We get new finding this time! (Maid)

    -What is it? (002)

    -There is some kind of pure energy inside her body. This energy must be the one to protect miss Aya from the disease.

    -Compare this energy to the available ones in the database. (002)

    -I will do it right away! (Maid)

    The metal walls gradually lower down one by one. I call out to the blond maid and ask her.

    -How''s my result? (Aya)

    -Your current body is healthy, miss Aya. (002)

    -Then what about... (Aya)

    The maid stands next to the blond maid suddenly exclaims with a loud voice.

    -The energy inside miss Aya is the same as our dear master''s energy. (Maid)

    The blond maid nods.

    -Hoh, that explains everything. (002)

    I raise my hand and ask the blond maid again.

    -I still understand nothing over here. (Aya)

    The maid looks at me with an awkward smile.

    -Let me tell you about the current situation first. (002)

    The blond maid touches her watch and shows me the picture of the wolf monsters.

    -These monsters are not naturally born. The holy country "Athor" is the one who created them. (002)

    I frown at the sudden statement of the blond. Huh! Why does the holy kingdom make this kind of monster?

    -They are the same as those who attacked us in Ahma''s camp. Does that mean...? (Aya)

    -It''s like what you are thinking about, miss Aya. Mia and the holy kingdom work together to create these monsters. (Aya)

    -She... (002)

    Tchhh, I know she is a villain. But I never thought she would be a big one like this. And her appearance with those wolves at Ahma''s camp was not a coincidence.

    -Those wolves have a unique power. (002)

    -What is it? (Aya)

    I don''t really know what kind of power those monsters handle. But I know one thing is that they become stronger as time passes.

    -Every time we kill them with a specified power, the rest of the wolves will gain resistance to that power. (002)

    -Huh! (Aya)

    That power is so terrible...

    -They gain not only the resistance but also the ability to wield that power. (002)

    -... (Aya)

    Then we destiny to die if we fight against those monsters for a long time.

    -But where do they come from? (Aya)

    The blond maid had a bitter face when she heard my question.

    -We find a kind of virus is responsible for the monster transformation. At first, the subject needs to drink a specific water source with the virus to transform into the wolf monster. (002)

    I suddenly have a bad hunch while I listen to the maid talking.

    -But recently, viruses have evolved can spread themselves through the air (002)

    -No way, that means... (Aya)

    The blond maid looks at me in the eyes.

    -To be short, all the monsters you have met so far today are this city citizens. (002)
