Scene: Pretty and Nimi enter Kagashi Village. Nimi is searching using her puppets.
People in the village are doing their work—cutting wood, making weapons, cleaning, etc.
An old woman comes in front of them.
Old Woman: Oh my, two cute little girls have entered our village…!
Pretty & Nimi: Nice to meet you.
Pretty: My name is Pretty.
Nimi: And my name is Nimi.
Old Woman: Oh, names don't matter. Come, eat something first. You must have traveled a long way, right?
Pretty: Ah… no, thank you. We are here for a mission.
Old Woman: Oh? What kind of mission? Tell me, maybe I can help.
Nimi: Yeah, this mission is about capturing a group. We got information that a gang is hiding in this village, so we came to catch them.
Old Woman: Hahaha… how funny. If something like that existed, do you think everyone here could work so freely?
Scene: Everyone is working happily.
Pretty: …Yeah, right. But still, there's no harm in checking once.
Old Woman: You kids… okay, but eat something first.
Nimi: … (looks at Pretty) What do you think?
Pretty: Okay, no problem.
Old Woman: Good. That's my house, let's go.
Inside the Old Woman's House
Scene: The old woman takes them to her house. It is a bit big. Inside, an old man is sitting on a sofa.
Woman: Darling, look, we have guests today.
Man: Oh, oh, oh… some cute little girls, huh…!
Pretty & Nimi: …Nice to meet you.
Woman: Girls, go sit at the table. I'll bring some food.
Scene: Pretty and Nimi sit at the table. The woman goes to the kitchen. The old man keeps watching them.
Man: So what brings you to this small village?
Pretty: We are here for a mission.
Man: Oh, what kind of mission?
Nimi: Nothing special.
Scene: The old woman comes back with food.
Woman: Darling, stop it. They are tired. Let them eat first.
Man: Yeah, right… sorry.
Nimi: No, it's fine.
Woman: Here you go.
Scene: She puts the food on the table.
Nimi: …Okay, I'm eating.
Pretty: Yeah, me too.
Pretty (in her mind): Nothing bad, I think.
Nimi (in her mind): Such nice people… I thought this woman would do something, but the food is perfectly fine.
Scene: They finish eating.
Pretty & Nimi: Thanks for the food.
Woman: No problem. And about your mission, you can talk to the village chief. His house is two streets away—the biggest one.
Nimi: Thank you, aunty and uncle.
Both Old People: Oh, it's nothing.
Scene: Pretty and Nimi leave. The old couple gives a sharp smile.
Village Chief's House
Scene: Pretty and Nimi walk and reach the big house. The village is very silent.
Nimi rings the bell. The door opens, and a man with one missing eye comes out.
Man: Yes, who are you?
Pretty: We are from Doramai School. We are here for a mission.
Man: Oh, come in. (sharp smile)
Scene: They enter. The door closes.
Suddenly, the man flips and slashes with his hand.
Pretty & Nimi: !!
Scene: They dodge, but the house splits into two.
Nimi: What are you doing?!
Man: Kihihi… did you seriously think I would tell you who we are?
Pretty: We are?
Scene: Suddenly, the walls break, and the entire village people appear.
Pretty & Nimi: What?! (whisper, shocked)
Scene: Everyone surrounds them.
Man: This whole village is criminal…!
Pretty: !!
Nimi (in her mind): But this was a B-rank mission… that means—
Man: Everyone, attack!
Scene: Everyone attacks, throwing weapons and skills.
Pretty: Null!
Scene: Pretty uses her Null skill to protect herself.
Nimi jumps high and attacks from the air.
Nimi: Illusion Grab!
Scene: Some people get grabbed by invisible force, like tied by ropes. Nimi lands safely.
Nimi: So the whole village is the group.
Pretty: But the mission said it was a small group.
Man: …Small group, right. This is small. There are much bigger and stronger groups in the world. This is just a small part of a huge gang…!
Pretty: I see. So that's what they meant by group.
Nimi: Then this should have been an A-rank mission!!
Pretty: But we can't do anything now. We have to defeat them and get out.
Nimi: No chance. Escaping will be hard. We must defeat and capture them.
Scene: The captured people break free.
Nimi: !! And they are all strong!
Scene: Pretty attacks, but others use skills.
Villagers: Thunder! Fireball! Fire Blast!
Pretty: !!
Scene: The attacks almost hit Pretty, but she dodges in time.
Nimi attacks the village head.
Nimi: Thunder from the Sky – GIJAGITO!
Scene: Yellow lightning covers Nimi's hands. She throws it at the village head.
Village Head: Hmph! This won't do anything to me!
Scene: He dodges the first and second attack, but the third hits his leg.
Village Head: Agh…!
Old Woman: Ground Blast Shake!
Scene: The ground breaks, and a giant earth-made lizard emerges and rushes at Nimi.
Nimi: Reaper of Death – Death Kill!
Scene: A red scythe with a dark blue and dark purple handle appears.
It hits the lizard, shattering it, then slices several humans and disappears.
Humans (screaming): Aaaah! Agh! Aaa…!
Woman: Oh, you have some guests, little girl.
Man: Hmph! Anyway, you are dead here!
Nimi: Seriously?! Think again—who's dead!
Scene: Nimi's puppets appear (from the previous chapter) and grab the old woman and old man.
Woman: What?! What is that?!
Man: !! Get these ugly things off me!
Nimi: These aren't ugly! You are far uglier!
Scene: Nimi punches the man and kicks the woman. Their bodies get heavily damaged. They fall unconscious with the puppets.
Nimi: These two are done.
Scene: Nimi sees Pretty fighting the village leader while villagers attack her.
Nimi tries to go help, but other villagers block her.
Nimi: Ahn… damn!
Pretty vs Village Leader
Pretty: Ice Shard!
Scene: The ground is covered in ice, and many spikes rise. The village leader dodges them, but his leg is injured.
Village Leader: Thousand Button Throw!
Scene: Buttons appear in mid-air.
Pretty: ??!
Scene: Pretty touches one button by mistake. It explodes.
The explosion triggers another, then another—creating a chain reaction.
Pretty gets trapped in the blasts and takes damage.
Pretty: Agh! Aa! Anh…! Aghn…! AAA!! Ahh!!
Scene: The village leader watches Pretty trapped in the explosions while Nimi is still fighting other villagers.
