A week has passed since Vency was forced by Ren and his party to come to the nearest town from the forest where she woke up, Lalita town.

It was a town led by a baron so the town was not too big. However, this town is known for its fishing industry which can even become the third best fish supply area in the Kingdom. In other words, Lalita is a town of fishermen, even the baron is a former fisherman.

And, on this morning, Vency was instantly in a very critical state. Vency wakes up in one of the rooms where Ren and the others live.

That in itself is not a problem. However, what made the situation absurd was that Vency fell asleep beside Ren, even though Vency was supposed to be sleeping in the same room with Bethy and Diana.

And what's worse, Ren and Vency is... In a naked state.

"E-Eeeehhhhh?! Wh-what has actually happened?!?!?!" Vency's face instantly turned red because of it. Jumping down from the bed, Vency immediately put on the clothes Ren and his party had bought for her and then started running out of the room.

(Wh-what-the hell?! Why? Why can I be in Ren's room?! I can't remember what happened last night because I drank too much! Aaaaaaaaaa~!!)

-Back on the day before Vency came to this town.

At first, Vency rejects an offer from Ren, Bethy, and Diana to come to town. After all, she is now a monster. If she came to a town filled with humans, surely Vency would only be a hunting target for adventurers.

At least, that was what Vency was thinking about when she turned down their offer. However, just then, Bethy suddenly looked more confident than usual, and said, "Take it easy Vency, I'm here!" She even began to force herself to imitate Diana's attitude when she said that.

However, of course that doesn't explain anything to Vency at all, "I don't understand..."

Because of this, Bethy also began to explain the reason why she believed that it would be fine for Vency who was a Zombie to enter the town.

According to what Bethy said, in this world there is a Taming-based Skill. The skill has various types and uses, including: A skill that can tame animals; A Skill that can tame insects; And even skills that can tame monsters exist. Of course, the presentation of the success of the taming process depends on the strength and number of mana of the user.

However, there is a special condition for obtaining this Skill, that is: That someone must first become a wizard/sorcerer/Magician before they can do it.

And, because since Bethy is a witch... Vency would definitely be allowed into town with their party if Vency was deemed to be Bethy's familiar.

"Um, but, does it mean that Bethy has this taming Skill?"

"No."

"No~"

"F-forgive me..."

Even so, Vency was still able to enter Lalita after Ren and the others went to convince the Gatekeeper that Vency was Bethy's Familiar.

After entering the town, Vency finally finds out that Ren and the others turned out to have collected enough money because they sold all the orcs killed by her and Ren(just one).

Using that money, Ren and the others bought several pairs of new equipment and clothes for Vency. After all, the only clothes Vency have are those that seem to be the same clothes she wore before being killed by her childhood friend. The clothes were already covered with blood stains and torn in many places.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

In Lalita, Vency and others began to spend almost all of their time buying things, trying different types of processed fish in the town, and doing various things that could cost your money in an instant.

And, on the sixth day of Vency's arrival to the town, "Uwah! This is bad! We forget our Quest! Our money has also been spent!!" They finally thought back to the Quest they had taken before meeting the orcs and Vency because of Diana's screams.

After that, Ren's party and Vency also began to rush to the town's adventurer's Guild to apologize to the Guild. They were scolded quite loudly for that.

However, after that, they immediately set out to complete their Quest again.

Because the target of the Quest was just to kill 10 Goblins, Ren and the others were able to complete the Quest without any problems. It took them long enough to complete this first Quest of theirs.

In the evening, they decided to celebrate the success of their first Quest with a drink and finally, we are back here.

"Ha... Haa... *pant*..." Vency was already out of her breath when she reached the first floor of this inn. It was a place where the residents of this inn ate and relaxed when they had nothing to do.

"Ah, Vency!"

"... You look tired."

"-?!" Vency was startled when suddenly there were two voices calling her from behind.

Looking back, Vency saw Diana and Bethy there who were ready with their adventurous gear, "W-what's wrong?" Vency don't know why, but her felt guilty about something when she saw the two.

"No, it should be me who said that, right? After all, last night..."

"*Nod!* *Nod!*" While Diana said that to Vency with a worried face, Bethy nods her head quickly there. It seems that Bethy is also worried about Vency like Diana do.

"L-last night?!" Vency's face instantly turned red when she heard it.

(Wh-what is this?! Do they know what has happened to me and Ren?! No, I don't remember what had happened anyway?!?! Aaa~aaahhh!! Wh-what should I do?!)

"Well, how should I say... Congratulations, I guess? Ha ha!" Diana patted Vency on the shoulder with a warm smile on her face when she said that to Vency.

"Hm! Congratulations!" Bethy still looked as usual, but she also looked happy when she said that to Vency.

"W-what the 'Congratulations!'?! I-I don't understand! I-I mean, I don't even remember anything that happened last night~!!"

"Ah! Wait!" After shouting it all with a red face, Vency immediately ran out from the inn. She even ignored when Diana tried to stop her.

Diana sighed as she looked at Vency's figure getting further and further away from the inn from behind the window glass of the inn, "Oh my gosh, she run too fast..."

"... W-whereas we have to tell her about 'that'..."

"Well, Vency will eventually be back, I guess. So, let's eat first before chasing her, Bethy."

"Uh-huh!"

Sitting at one of the long dining tables there, Bethy and Diana started ordering something for their breakfast.

***

Meanwhile, Vency was sitting by the lake near Lalita.

The lake is named Airialina lake. It was a large lake directly connected with the ocean.

Vency had heard a story that this lake seemed to be a lake created from the body of a Great spirit named Airialina who was punished by the gods for loving a Human.

Vency remembered herself as she stared at the lake which was more than 2000KM in diameter...

"Love that can't be realized, huh..."

Gazing at the greenish clear water of the beautifully visible Airialina lake in the morning atmosphere, Vency hugged her own knees.

"I... What should I do, Edmund?" Vency recalled her childhood friend when her curled there alone. The gentle smile that Edmund always showed her, his handsome face with his blond hair, his green eyes that looked very clear, all of which Vency could still remember very clearly.

Even the expression Edmund showed her when he killed her... Can Vency still remember. Edmund at that time smiled, a smile that was so wide, that even it looked terrible. Edmund's side that Vency didn't know until the day of her death.

Unconsciously, tears began to flow from Vency's eyes, "I-I don't remember everything that happened last night. But... c-could it be, I've done that with Ren? Is it because I was drunk at the time? Even so, I, I don't know, Edmund! What should I do?! I don't know! I don't understand! Why? Why!? Why did you kill me to such an extent?! Why do I have to go through it all?! Have I committed a great sin or something?! I mean, I'm even a Zombie now! I... Don't understand."

Hugging her own body, Vency began to sob in silence after she shouting out all the feelings that have been brewing her all along.

However, "Hm? You..." Suddenly someone's voice came from behind Vency.

"-?!"

(A-ah!! T-there someone?! W-what should I do?! I'll be considered an ordinary monster and will be killed if I look not with Bethy!)

*Grab*

Suddenly whoever owned the voice touched Vency's shoulder.

"Um..."

Vency froze in confusion at that very unexpected situation, (This bad, this bad, this bad, this bad, this bad, this bad, this bad, this bad, this bad, this bad, this bad!! W-WHAT SHOULD I DO?!)
