It's morning now. We all are prepared for our very first mission. Sensei gave us a map and some money. We started our journey. After walking a while, we got on a ship. Shizuku said, to reach Sanfre City, it's better to take a ship. Shin said it is better than traveling through the jungle. That's good. Nanami was standing far from us. Shizuku thought we are sent to kill Cavles there. According to the map, she thinks so. Shin said, no need to worry as long as I have this sword. Killing Cavles is much easier to me now with this sword. Hearing it, I screamed. Shizuku asked why I just screamed. I explained, I forgot to bring my katana on my very first mission. They all laughed. I said, nothing happened so funny that you are laughing like this. Hearing the chaos, Nanami went to another place. We were exploring the ship. Then the ship captain announced using the speaker, we are reaching Sanfre City within 10 minutes. Shizuku asked if we are prepared because here our mission will begin. Shin said he is always ready. I didn't say anything. After a while, we reached Sanfre City.
We were searching for Nanami. But a few moments later, he joined us. I said, none has come here from the ship. Nanami replied, because the Cavles have made so many slums here. Shizuku agreed with Nanami. But someone was to take us. But there is none. Then a beautiful woman was coming towards us. Shin asked isn't she beautiful, Noya? She came to us and said she hired us. My name is Lisa Fernandez. Call me Ms. Lisa. I told her to explain the mission. She replied, firstly, come to my house as it's dangerous to talk outside. We went to her house. Shizuku told her to explain the mission now.
She started explaining, "It all started almost 1 year ago. My husband was a reaper of the Zero Department but one day he was killed by a Cavle. Though other reapers succeeded in killing that Cavle, people of this small city have been disappearing for 7 days now." Nanami asked how many had disappeared. She replied, it's 50. While walking in the city, some people saw Cavles carrying humans in the dead of night. But they don't eat them but take them to an unknown place. I said, so we will kill that Cavle for you as our sensei told us to work on only the given mission spot, not somewhere else and don't let other works distract you. Nanami agreed. Ms. Lisa also agreed. She took my hand and requested to get rid of the Cavles as soon as possible please. Shin was staring at me.I blushingly replied okay. Don't worry, we won't disappoint you. Do you mind lending me a knife, please. She was surprised and said ok. Shizuku went outside and said to me, "You really act like a hero to her." Shin asked if I'm getting into something with her. I said nope, nothing like that happened. To draw their attention out of the topic I said, we should ask Nanami something about it. When I turned back to ask Nanami, Nanami wasn't there.

It's night now. We were standing prepared for the Cavles. Shin told us not to show any mercy to them. Shizuku said we should split up and search separately. She asked me if I really can kill the Cavles using this knife. I said yes. Then we split up and start searching. I was walking and walking. I found myself in an unknown place and asked myself, where am I? I think I've lost my way. Suddenly, I saw an Cavle carrying human in front of me. Seeing him, I stood before him and said, you can't take that man with you as long as I am here.
The Cavle at first thought I'm a normal person but after observing me carefully he said, so you are a reaper then. I said yes. He said, none can save you from my hands now. My lord is searching for you reapers. I must take you dead. I said, I didn't understand your words. But your death is written in my hand. On the side, Shizuku was fighting with a Cavle. Shin also engaged in a fight with the Cavles. But, Nanami took down 4 Cavles and killed them all and said, "Cavles like you, are nothing but unwanted dust in my hand."
