Let This Grieving Soul Retire

Krai Andrey is the master of the clan named First Steps. Although he would prefer to retire, he can't find an opportunity or the right time to do so. Krai explains in detail how he ended up in this situation.

Tino has received a mission from Krai. But before she can set out, she needs a few strong members for her group. Greg, Rhuda, and Gilbert are already ready.

Tino and her group are fighting against a phantom even before they enter the treasure chamber. In the process, they realize that their opponent is significantly stronger than level 3. Meanwhile, Krai rushes to them to save them from their terrible fate.

Krai and Tino's group wander through the White Wolf's building. The group believes that Krai knows where the exit is located. However, he is clueless. Then, they suddenly encounter the survivors they were trying to rescue.

A long time ago, Sitri entrusted Krai with one of her alchemy creations: a slime powerful enough to destroy all of Zebrudia. When Krai discovers the slime is missing, he scrambles to recover it before chaos ensues.

The Akashic Tower decides on an all out war against the hunters because they falsely believe that Krai found their facility. Independent of that, Krai's careless words cause a huge group of hunters to be sent to the White Wolf's Den.

Sitri is finally back, but instead of focusing on the slime, she gives Krai an ominous warning. That at this rate, the entire investigation team will perish. The lethal battle between hunters and the Akashic Tower has been kicked off!

Sitri saves the day. Flustered, the Akashic Tower's members ignore Sophia's orders and self-destruct. As Sitri has figured out their headquarters, the hunters press on. Flick uses his lightning spell on them all, and for a moment it seems it's all over...
