Let’s begin with a backstory as Iris Lotze belong to a small noble family headed by her father, Adelbert Lotze.

Unfortunately, their land was plagued by famine that Lord Adelbert Lotze used his personal wealth to help his people… except that it ran out that he asked Baron Yokuo Kirk for financial assistance.

While Adelbert Lotze’s domain has been stabilized after the famine, there’s another crisis looming around the horizon as Kate’s mother Caterina Starven told everyone that Baronet Yokuo Kirk demanded a full payment of their debt all at once.

What’s even worse is when Lord Adelbert Lotze told his daughter that a young man named Shay Dilly wants to marry Iris that in exchange for paying off their debt.

Shay Dilly? Is he related to Gree Dilly? I smell something suspicious…

Even Sarasa Feed suspects about it as the alchemist told Lord Adelbert that there’s a company owned by Gree Dilly who uses dirty tricks to destroy his competitors like using his own relative Shay Dilly.

Oh and it’s not just that, there’s a possibility that Baronet Yokuo Kirk and the Dilly Company are working together to get rid of Sarasa Feed and her friends. That’s freakin’ horrible!

Anyways, looks like Iris Lotze decided to stay at Yok Village as she told her father that she won’t marry someone until Iris and her friends found the truth. Seriously, Iris wants to be a free girl instead of being a trophy wife!

Now then, here’s Elyn where she told Sarasa that the investigation regarding the Hellflame Grizzlies has been halted by Baronet Yokuo Kirk. Oh boy, seems that this local lord is involved in sabotage towards Yok Village.

Despite all of this, Sarasa Feed has a hunch that the recent attacks by the Hellflame Grizzlies is caused by another species who hoarded all the flame stones in a specific area.

Said area happened to be a volcano where it’s not only hot, but also fuming with poisonous gases that might kill a person should they breathe in.

Anyways, Sarasa and her party needs to be careful when conducting their investigation at the volcano, although they couldn’t help but collect flame stones ’cause they might be valuable for some people.

However, it appears that Iris Lotze’s clumsiness has strike again as she accidentally pushed a boulder.

Man, I wish Iris should control her strength as she’s prone to accidents. Or worse, attracting a horde of monsters.

Said monsters happened to be a bunch of Lava Lizards where they’re the ones who drove the Hellflame Grizzlies away from the volcano and gather all the lava stones by themselves.

Unfortunately, the likes of Andre and Kate Starven couldn’t handle them as the Lava Lizards are stronger that it can kill a man if not careful.

Luckily, Sarasa managed to kill some Lava Lizards with relative ease as she saved her allies once again. Of course, those monsters are nothing compared to what comes next…

Turns out that a large salamander is emerging from its slumber, ready to take anyone who disturb its sleep.

Well then, it looks like Sarasa Feed will not only deal with two shady people, but also a monster who might destroy both South Straug and Yok Village.

Anyways, this is their finest hour for the young alchemist and her friends as they’re gonna stop a salamander from destroying everything. I’ll see you next time, and I hope they make it out of this mess!
