Sometime you should do what men need to do Elliot” Alex starts to lecture Elliot about life as a man. Elliot just ignores what Alex talking about, “let eat, I hungry right now”. Alex just smiles and lead Elliot to place for them to eat, after eating both of them rest near the rocky place far away from other people. “Elliot, some days I will be a famous and respected adventurer which being know by many people, up until then will you follow me?” ask Alex, seeing his friend is serious in his conversation, Elliot says “Up until that time come I will be with you, well who else will cover you back if you being knockdown by the monster like the other day”.

“How dare you kill Pon-Pon, I will never forgive you,” says the girl.
Elliot arrives and tries to calm that girl from being mad at Alex, after few minute of explanations on what happens it seems that girl is an adventurer too and her Profession is a Tamer, that explain how that wolf can be here outside it nature place.
“I demand compensation about what happens today, you just kill my first pet you know,” says that girl again. Seeing that is one way out from this trouble Alex has proposed an idea that he and Elliot will help that girl to capture another monster as her new pet and in return, she will forget what happens today. “That is a good idea you have, okay I agree to your idea but the monster I want this time is not an easy target,” says the girl, Alex said that she can depend on his ability as well as Elliot.
“I want to tame up a Reb Ocean Crab this time” say the Tamer girl.
