?A shadow minion was assigned for the task; his name was Ghoul. He made a plan to wait in the shadows of the trees until it was night. He was lurking in the bushes in the dark night when suddenly someone shouted, "Who is there?" and attacked… Ghoul came out…

  ?"What? A shadow demon? Who are you and what do you want?"

  ?"I am currently observing human society and my name is Ghoul…"

  ?

  ?"You are out of luck. My partner is a Shadow Wolf; it can find you anywhere in the shadows. And I am Drake, a three-star hunter, otherwise known as a Demon Slayer!"

  ?As soon as Ghoul heard the words "Demon Slayer," he rushed instantly, converting his hands into sharp blades that inflict a curse on contact… The hero dodged and instantly used… Heavenly Delusion

  ?"It will make you regret and grief over every bit of bad karma you did until I strike you…"

  ?Then the hero used Light Slash x100

  ?[Note: This means striking your foe brutally. The sword must contain the Light Element, which makes the enemy blind. It works well against dark/shadow beasts or demons.]

  ?"This is dangerous. The demon is trying to kill or maybe kidnap people. I have to tell the Guild Master about it…"

  ?The next day, he went to the Guild. As he entered the Guild Master’s room, the main character and Meena were already there. He entered the room and told the Guild Master, "We need to talk. There is an urgent matter I want to discuss with you…"

  ?"Yes! I also want to discuss something very important. First, look—these are our new adventurers. They discovered something dangerous about demons…"

  ?"What?"

  ?

  ?Drake:

  ?Guild Master:

  ?While they were talking, I didn't understand a single thing, even though I was present there. Maybe Meena understands what they are saying. I looked at Meena and… she was still playing with the gem… (I mean, what was I even expecting from a little girl?)

  ?Guild Master:

  ?

  ?Haruto:

  ?Everyone’s eyes became huge, leaning in closer. "Meena can make a barrier?!" everyone shouted.

  ?Haruto:

  ?"What?! It is a big deal!" they replied. "It’s a legend that only the Goddess Istar and her descendants, as the Chosen Ones, have the ability to cast a barrier. After the 1st Emperor, Great Isaac Alfred, there has been no one with the ability to cast a barrier! Our researchers are trying their best to create a magical spell to cast a barrier, and you say Meena can do that?!"

  ?Haruto:

  ?They approached Meena.

  ?Guild Master:

  ?Meena:

  ?Guild Master:

  ?Meena gently nodded and created a barrier around the Guild Master.

  ?Drake:

  ?Haruto:

  ? Guild Master:

  ?Drake:

  ?Haruto:

  ? The next day, Haruto asks Meena, "Who are you, and what are your true powers?"
