Farah''s POV


    Hana holds her chin and thinks about Akuji''s statement.


    -Find something... (Hana)


    Hana turns to Akuji and asks her again.


    -Did you find anything else? (Hana)


    Akuji shakes her head and says to Hana in a weak voice.


    -That''s everything, head maid. Even I can''t understand their behaviour. (Akuji)


    Fifir, who is sitting with me, also speaks out.


    -Those wolves are not acting like animals and magical beasts in the database. Those beasts don''t need to eat or sleep; All they do is roam around the country. (Fifir)


    Hana nods and speaks her thoughts.


    -I think the mastermind who is currently staying in the capital must have a way to control them. (Hana)


    -How can you be so sure about that, the head maid? (Akuji)


    -Just a logical conclusion of mine. A person able to surround the capital with that powerful barrier and create those monsters can''t be an idiot. There must be a reason for that person to do that. (Hana)


    -That seems reasonable...But we can''t still find any reason for her to do that. There are so few clues about that person... (Akuji)


    -...Maybe they want to ruin this planet? (Fifir)


    At this moment, a voice comes from the door and denies Fifir''s opinion.


    -I don''t think so! (Industria)


    -So you are finally done with the bathroom. (Hana)


    Kyu walks inside the room while holding her mouth.


    -Please don''t mention it anymore... (Industria)


    -But why do you think so? (Fifir)


    -Well, that''s easy! Because their activity is too noticeable. There is no way the virtue goddesses'' side won''t move in this situation. (Industria)


    -Hmmm... (Fifir)


    -I think Humilitas has already called for help from other goddesses. She can''t just wait and see her planet destroyed by some stranger.


    Hana nods and says.


    -That''s sound reasonable... (Hana)


    I raise my hand and try to turn everyone''s attention to me.


    -What''s wrong, master? (Hana)


    -It''s not like I want to disturb everyone''s conversation, but I want to know about the current situation of Aya and others. (Farah)


    Akuji and Fifir''s faces immediately hardened when I said that.


    -That is... (Akuji)


    -We... (Fifir)


    Hana also seems to notice something wrong with them.


    -What''s wrong? (Hana)


    -Whew, 002 has taken care of miss Aya. She would arrive at this place soon. But... (Akuji)


    -But, what? Is she infected? (Hana)


    -That''s not it, head maid. Miss Aya is currently healthy. (Akuji)


    Akuji turns to me and informs me.


    -It''s all thanks to master Farah that the pandemic couldn''t harm her. (Akuji)


    I tilt my head and ask Akuji back.


    -Me? (Farah)


    -Yes, master. Did you perhaps make some kind of magic contract with her? (Akuji)


    -Eh...Ah, yes! (Farah)


    -That''s why the pure energy of the master exists in her body and protects her from the pandemic. (Akuji)


    Hana crosses her arms and asks Akuji again.


    -Then, what is the problem? (Hana)


    Akuji bites her lips and tells Hana.


    -We lost the trace of miss Mia and miss Kohaku. (Akuji)


    -Huh? (Hana)


    -And...Miss Kohaku seems to be infected. (Akuji)


    -No...way. (Farah)


    The moment I heard that statement, my mind became blank because of the overwhelming anxiety.


    -We try to take them back to base for treatment but miss Mia carry miss Kohaku and run away. (Akuji)


    Akuji bends her head down and apologizes to us.


    -I''m sorry I couldn''t capture her perfectly. (Akuji)


    Hana sighs and tells her.


    -That''s not your fault, Akuji. I never thought that girl would run away since she was our master''s acquaintance. (Hana)


    Kyu has a troubled face.


    -What is Mia trying to do? (Industria)


    -But I think the girl must be related to the mastermind. Or she may know about the mastermind. (Akuji)


    -You think like that because of Aya''s testimony, right? (Hana)


    -Yes! There is no way the first appearance of Mia with the wolves was a coincidence. (Akuji)


    Fifir reaches out and pats my head while listening to Hana''s conversation.


    -They will be fine, master. (Fifir)


    -I hope so... (Farah)


    -Let''s put that problem aside for now. What''s the current progress of your research on that virus? (Hana)


    -It doesn''t progress much, the head maid. Even 002 doesn''t have a single understanding of its structure. We know nothing about it aside from the fact the virus can spread through the air and turn people into monsters. (Akuji)


    -Hmmm... (Hana)


    -Luckily, we seem to be immune to that virus. Thanks to that, we can act freely. (Akuji)


    -Did you catch any sample, Akuji? (Hana)


    Akuji nods and tells Hana.


    -We got one, master. We are currently dissecting it. (Akuji)


    I call out to Hana. I want to tell her something.


    -Hana... (Farah)


    Hana turns to me again because of my call.


    -Do you think the current situation is a little familiar? (Farah)


    Hana knits her brows and asks me.


    -What do you mean by that, master? (Hana)


    I point at the screen and tell her.


    -I think the current situation was like when I fought with that outer god. (Farah)


    Kyu and Hana immediately frown at my statement.


    -That outer god... (Hana)


    -Right...that one can turn people into bat monsters instead. (Industria)


    The two have complicated expressions on their faces.


    -I hope... (Hana)


    Because Kyu could finish her sentence, the colour of the room''s light turned red. And a loud alarm noise rang throughout the room.


    -Someone has invaded the planet through the air! (Maid A)


    The screen inside the room changes into a group of people with white wings on their backs.


    -These intruders are marching toward the Athor''s capital, head maid! (Akuji)


    -Those are... angels? (Industria)


    -You know something? (Hana)


    Kyu laughs with a bitter face.


    -This may be the work of Humilitas. (Industria)
